i guess i wasn't clear. it has a collumn in the inventory section labelled either 'PG' or 'PC', i can't make out which. i am unsure what this collumn is for and am currently using it for number of items.

I guess it would help if I downloaded the *actual* 3.5 sheetpaper instead of the 3.0 one. Sorry for my silliness. I think it is PG, and it is present under Feats and Special Abilities as well. (That doesn't give answers, but merely add another one. What is its use under these two headings?)

As for the meaning, I cannot make out what PG could stand for and apply to Feats *and* to miscellaneous items. Once I am back from school, I will have a look at my D&D books.

Also, if am allowed to join, I may require some assistance on a constant basis, due to my inexperience. By the way, what is the topic of the RPG in question?

well, thanks anyway. in the meantime, do you use OpenRPG? i did kinda hijack somebody elses thread here. (see bottom)

thanks, Sabin. sorry, but we've started it with pen and paper and i'm not even sure how to move it to OpenRPG. I'll stick figuring it out on my list of things to do 'soon' (rather big list) and, if no-one starts up one sooner, i might be able to manage a dungeon crawl on it.

I would be attempting to. I can't stand social contact at the personal level, though I believe that I enjoy role-playing. Therefore, I would have to use a internet-based solution.

I thought OpenRPG would be good since it is free and it is still in development.(or OpenRPG II) It also has a plug-in system which should allow improvements for gameplay, both for the game-master and the regular players. If I remember correctly, it can use the d20 system and the 3.5 D&D rules.

I have also been looking for alternatives, and WebRPG is one.(seems related to OpenRPG.)

Spell Resistance is a Resistance to magic that allows to try to resist to some spells. (It should also depend on the kind of spell cast) For a caster to bypass this Resistance, a roll of (1d20)+caster level is required, and the result should be equal or higher than the Spell Resistance of the target. In short, Spell Resistance roughly works like AC for magical attacks, and can be granted by spells, items and to monsters.

Saving Throws is a chance given to a character to escape an attack, such as dragon breath or something along these lines. There are three categories, which are Reflex, Will and Fortitude, respectively based on Dexterity, Wisdom and Constitution. The roll is done with a d20, your bonus in the linked ability plus a bonus from your class and your level. (A level 20 player with a class able to defend itself well will have +12 to her saving throws) The effects of succeeding in a saving throw may depend on the attack which caused the saving throw as well.

Hopefully it will help you, and I even tried to look up in the correct source rather than in my old memories of D&D2 games.
