3.5 Revised dataset (revised 3rd edition):(click to download)  [updated 18/Jul/2006]

You need to have RPM v4.4.2, or later, installed. Please restart RPM after importing this dataset.

  • This has a fully revised database for the revised 3.5 classes, items, races, feats, skills and other information.
  • This is what you use to generate characters, encounters and games for the new 3.5 rules.
  • Your previous characters and creatures are automatically converted, by simply doing a "ReCalculate". You may include ALL your old characters and creatures in the Creature List window, and then ReCalculate them all at once.
There is an extensive encyclopaedic entry for the rules for the revised 3.5 edition, .

The encyclopaedia information is arranged in a simple tree hierarchy so that you can easily locate the information you want. It covers rules detail in far greater scope than before, and is an extremely valuable on-line resource for everything from combat rules, through to specifics about magic items creation, environment, and even epic characters and feats.

Use it to learn about the revised rules, and particularly as an instant on-line resource when playing.

You should find it almost unnecessary to refer to your 3.5 books!

Everyone Else:(click to download)  [updated 16th July 2003]
There's PCs, NPCs, monsters, and then... Everyone Else. This fantastic resource details 13 broad categories covering over 80 jobs types, such as craftsmen, professionals and other workers.
These are typically the commoners with specific skills in their own fields.

The guidelines, basic rules and customization suggestions are all readily accessible in the Campaign Encyclopaedia. Each category has sample statblocks,totalling to over 300 in all.

Additionally, the characters are  fully constructed, allowing you to pull them into your adventure, or easily access them  on the fly using the Creature Organizer.

I highly recommend picking up this cheap bestselling PDF at RPGNow  complete with its artwork. I also highly recommend having this loaded and available in your copy of RPM, for easy access, and customizing it as needed.


NPC Pack 1000 :(click to download)  [updated 8th July 2003]

A monstrous collection of over 1000 NPCs, .
These guys come fully equipped with class levels, feats, skills, known spells, equipment, and even personalities and possibly secrets. As always, you can easily change whatever you want, right down to quickly adding templates, or even changing the race.

Use the Creature Organizer to easily find what you want, quickly and easily incorporate these NPCs into your own game.
If there are good suggestions from people on how this quick time saver could be even more improved, I'll release updated versions of the NPC pack.


Everyone:(click to download)  [updated 19th July 2003]
 

A monstrous collection of over 500 core races from Aasimar to Zombie.
This is a resource that you can simply load into RPM, quickly accessible for full statblock lookups, customization, or use in your current adventure.

I've personally used the pack as a massive check on all of RPM's calculations, across all the different situations for different racial types. This includes extensive verification of things such as AC, saves, attacks and damage.


Text Generators pack:(click to download)  [updated 31st Jan 2003]
Text generators for everything from taven names, to fantasy names, to orc names or dwarven battlecries.
A series of varied generators also includes things such as bad luck events, tavern incidents, or simple plot ideas.
Based on the excellent TableSmith concept by Bruce Gulke.
This includes TableSmith contributions from the RPG community, and is thus presented as a separate download.

This is a different type of download to the Import/Export variety. Simple copy the "tables.zip" file into your RPM install directory, and the generators  will be automatically installed when you next start up RPM.
