Wasn't there also an Encyclopedia of Forgotten Realms lore that was started to be worked, but then abandoned (presumably as it would be too expensive)? -- The Forgotten Realms Encyclopedia

You have the Sovereign Press support for Dragonlance in 3e... so why not also include the Sword & Sorcery / Arthaus / White Wolf version of Ravenloft for 3e?

"Somewhat poorly" is probably my response.

"Lineage" is the word that has been going through my mind as an option.

I'm quite familiar with 1e/2e/3e/v3.5, but wandered away when 4e came along. Consequently, I'm late to the party with 5e and am now trying to get my head around what has changed. It seems that people like 5e lots - I can see that it looks slightly more rules-light than 3e, but has some aspects...

Thanks. I think I've managed to work out how to get to the 19,102 gp total using what you suggested. Masterwork dagger = 302 gp +2 equivalent modifier for it being essentially a +1 corrosive weapon = 8000 gp animal friendship: 1 (spell level) x 4 (CL) x 1800 (command word) x 0.33 (reptiles...

I'm trying to get my head around how magic item pricing is actually supposed to work in 3rd edition/v3.5 Dungeons & Dragons. As my first example, I can't seem to retrofit the rules in the 3rd edition Dungeon Master's Guide to match with the figure for the acid fang dagger in the Arms and...

Thanks - it is as I had suspected then.

Sorry - I don't think I was clear in my original question. I meant is there any logic to how many languages are listed in the Monster Manual entry?

Under v3.5, are there rules for how many languages a monster speaks? They obey the same rules as PCs for skills and feats, but looking at the languages for monsters in the various Monster Manuals suggests that there is no consistent rule. Am I missing anything?

Dear All, Hope this isn't viewed as terribly rude of me, but I really don't see what a campaign would need monks. They don't really seem to fit with my view of fantasy (my view being based in the books of Tolkien, etc.). I'm quite happy for them to occur in an Oriental setting, but for a...

Just a quick message to say thank you for listening to us, Erik. I'm very pleased to hear there are FR articles by Ed Greenwood and Eric L. Boyd on the way. The numbers you suggest (4-6 a year of Ed) seem enough to encourage me to continue buying on a regular basis. This seems enough to keep...

At the moment, I'm still buying Dragon magazine, but I'm seriously considering stopping. The reason for this is that it seems to have completely in a rather dull "crunch" direction. I now have more than enough prestige classes and feats to last me for a lifetime. What I would prefer to see is...

I've a feeling that Berdusk was one of the cities that is detailed in the Forgotten Realms Adventures hardback book. Anybody with it to hand able to confirm? Martyn

I would make an immediate legally-binding commitment that neither I nor anyone after me could create a major change to the system. All future changes to the system would be accompanied by detailed (free) web releases to upgrade previous products so that people who own these products can...
