Assuming a standard D&D world, this seems like uncharacteristically hardcore for dwarven culture. Duergar would maybe go with that kind of totalitarian stuff, but the baseline dwarf, not really. So yeah, I do not think springing that kind of surprise on you is fair*. * Provided there was no...

I too wonder how they'd look after a repaint or dipping. The sculpts themselves are a bit hard to appreciate on this kind of paintjobs, but it does seem the fur on the wererat looks... weird. It's a bit sad if Warhammer minis are the better deal, since the #1 complaint of WH players is the cost...

Yugoloths and Eladrin, at least, can work fine. There's no intrinsinc reason why, say, an Arcanoloth or a Ghaele should be silly. They might not be necessary, but they don't evoke the same feeling of instant lol as the tojanida. The arrowhawk isn't bad concept, I think their mistake was making...

I struggle to imagine why the Tojanida even exists. To have non-Elemental Water creatures in the core rules?

Daylight Adaptation was errataed. It's no longer a regional feat, and as it lacks a prerequisite, orcs are perfectly free to take it.

The question is a good one. For my part, there is one game that always deserves my unbridled contempt, and that is Cyberpunk V3, the sequel to R.Talsorian Games' Cyberpunk 2020, a game I grew up with and learned to love. V3 was more than an update or a new system, it took both the gameworld and...

I'm out. I reckon as of next week, I'll start planning offloading all my current stock of 3.5 stuff while they still have value.

Isn't that more than a little metagame-ish? The way I prefer to see it is that the fact that the rules don't make intuitive sense regarding some aspects of the world is a lamentable state of affairs, but one that shouldn't warp the entire scope of the game world so that it better conforms to the...

The more I read the forums, the less I like the book. When I first got the MIC, I quite enjoyed it, right now it feels like a colossal waste of money. Thanks a bundle.

Hm. I've never paid much attention to it, but that's a terribly vague description of the ability. If it was a (Sp), there would be a lot less amibiguity.

The average damage is the same, but 2d6 has a probability curve, the 1d12 does not.

Well, the Cape of the Mounteback wasn't the best possible example, I think, since its resale value is rather high. the Compendium is full of many interesting items that I could see a character wanting to retain the benefits of even if doing so costed more than going the BigSix route. For...

I think the idea the designers had for it was that you find a Cape, and instead of selling it for a Cloak, you imbue the Cloak's properties to the Cape, thus having your cake and eating it, too. The bonuses are also presented incrementally, so making the Capecloak a +4 now won't stop you from...

Hm. It seems the suggested additional properties cost exactly the same as the items do separately. So Cape of the Mountebank and Cloak of Charisma +4 together cost as much as the new Capecloak of the +4 Charismatic Mountebank.

Presumably because it's 3.0, which probably means its sales are lower than of the up-to-date later chapters in the series.
