I have DMGII and Revenge of the Giants

Jack99 · Sep 7, 2009

Just picked them up at my interdimensional gaming store, in case anyone wants to ask questions. I hope getting some reading time later tonight.

Cheers

Woo! What level spread is Against the Giants? And who's the Big Big Bad at the end?

Also - how does the number of Giants in play at one time compare to the number of available miniatures that Wizards have produced already?

Ooohh...tell me about the DMG. The companion rules and how do you think they'll work and also what about the rules for not having magic items in your games (specifically, grandmaster and legendary boons)

Tell me about your pact with Asmodeus that gets you these books early.

You know that they all ready did an excerpt on those, showing the system, right?

There was some question at the time as to whether the excerpt showed the entire system.

Does the DMG2:

1) Show any sort of formula as far as making powers and weighting the balance of status conditions? (Daze is worth two dice of damage etc etc).

2) Anything on building/acquiring keeps or such?

3) Chapter 2 and the section on Encounters as Story - is there talk of objectives in combat beyond what we saw in the excerpt? Three paragraphs doesn't scratch the surface, imho.

More like did they give an example of a companion?

Any thing else that jumps out at you?

Skill Challenges! How much did they change in the updated rules? Does the math finally make any sense?

I am really intreseted in both compainion NPCs and Boons/unusal magic item awards...I read both preview, but they held some stuff back (of cource) so what are they like...are there totaly awsome 'master trainng', and how complex are the charts for compainions...
