So far, not that i can see. Even the kids use parent rather then something gender specific...

indeed, but at the same time it basically bails them out of a troublesome rule regarding retraining of powers that basically strips people of potential if they retrain to a lower level power at some point. so while it has nothing to do with retraining, it ends up fixing a potential problem with...

thing is, im not sure if that bit in the advancement table is in there to cover that sinkhole of a power retraining rule, or if its just a "happy coincidence" that they "kinda" allow a bailout of a potentially bad decision done early on. also, when i think about it, its probably better to just...

page 28 PHB, retraining, power. hmm, now that i look at it, they have covered their behinds in the character advancement table. as you hit specific points, you can replace 1 power from a specific category with a higher level one... bah, somehow i still feel cheated...

sorry if its been up before, but it seems that wotc is making the same mess that they did with the 3e warlock. basically its the ability to exchange a power for one of equal or lesser level. problem is that if you replace it by a lesser level power, you cant go back up again at a later time...

can someone say bastardized rpg theory?

for some reason i always had trouble wrapping my head around those natural attack rules. maybe because i could never find somewhere that had them clearly spelled out, unlike the extra attacks that a PC gets when the attack bonus hit a specific number...

so basically we are back at the 3.0 way of doing zombies?

mental manipulation and illusions mostly at first glance. but i suspect there is a spell for language translation in the expanded magic book, no matter the edition used. or if one goes adept, at least SR4 makes one able to do a lot of social stuff as them...

hmm, reading up on 4e makes me think that they can deploy a generic modern day and sci-fi book inside 4e if done right. new classes maybe, and new guns and stuff, but overall keep the d&d basics. that was the problem of d20 modern for wotcs part, it duplicated d&d rather then build on it. you...

so i take it that a fringer can take 20 on balance tests or something?

iirc, iterative attacks both. this because autofire just helps you to hit, and burst fire is just a step up from double tap... also, they eat so much ammo that you will not be using them much unless your carrying a belt feed weapon ;)

given that it was originally intended as being part of the book, and it was missing, it would be a very obvious errata as it corrects said error ;) a web enhancement on the other hand is about adding to or extending the exiting rules iirc...

it appears that i need to reread every line of text in d20 future. i just discovered a small box at the start of the equipment chapter that more or less nullify the small box at the start of the book. the DC is supposedly relative to the economy of the times, so any item thats normally...

how does this line sound: use the use the force skill
