magic missile appears to be autohit. ( as long as they are not blocked ) BoB

as far as i see it, the best way for them to go is to provide a section of the dmg, or even a seperate 'Campaign builders guide' with tons of simple campaign tropes with mechanics to support them. Effectively campaign lego blocks. you put them together as you see fit, and use the mechanics that...

My view is that they have set some damn nice goals to aim for. If they manage to get further towards those goals than previous versions of D&D have, then they have done a good job. Expecting them to actually hit all those goals is unrealistic. But at least give them a chance to try. All in...

According to that quiz, i am predominantly storyteller. Storyteller 75% Method Actor 58% Tactician 58% Power Gamer 50% Butt-Kicker 50% Specialist 42% Casual Gamer 25% Although i could argue about the validity of those values, i wont. BoB

As far as i am concerned, there needs to be at least a basic setting available - so that someone picking up the books can dive in to play as quickly as possible. I would imagine that a GM book would have a substantial section on worldbuilding so that a DM can either expand on the initial setting...

4d6, keep best-->point buy ------------------> More generous but random ------------------> 3d6 in order ------------------> Alt char gen (life path, 0 level test characters, etc) in Core, no stat rolls or points - you have a pick up and play character. changes can be dealt with on levelling...

Seems sensible to me to have a cheap, short, basic book, with the core players rules ( enough to create a character using the core game and start playing ). Sell that both seperately and included in a boxed set that also includes a GM book, core monster manual and a startoff adventure. That...

Then that eladrin is stuffed if he encounters a beholder! - always at least one eye on you!

Ancient India-style. Either something equivalent to the early moghul period, or really ancient, going back to a setting similar to the tales of the mahabharat. Some of the stories really sound like Epic scale gaming !

anyone notice there is someone yelling on every cover?!

how about: the domains of ravenloft are a cluster of astral domains floating in the astral sea close to the nine hells. the influence of the nine hells causes the closed nature of ravenloft, and occasionally domains will be pulled in to ravenloft, and occasionally they will spin off in to the...

I work on an IT Helpdesk. This description is fairly accurate...

My way of handling the Dragonborn was to have them as dragons : The great dragons were woken from their ancient slumber to help fight a great war against an evil foe ( a nation ruled by a devil incarnate and whose troops were half-fiend and tiefling ). The war ended with most on both sides...

Me, I'm going to keep it all, and regularly go through it for useful Fluff ( and occasionally crunch ) to steal and alter to include in my homebrew ( To steal from one source is plagiarism, to steal from many is creativity / research ).

1. Faerie / The Wild Realm 2. The Draka 3. The Shadow lands 4. The Fey / The Beautiful Folk ( Even the evil / ugly ones are 'beautiful' in order to not piss them off )
