They aren't even selling through stock anymore. Yeah, I was really hoping to see prices drop by next year. I could understand it when the Canadian dollar was US$0.70, but now that it is hovering around equal it is a pure money grab. I'm not sure where in the supply chain the money is going to...

If they're paying you $120 grand, I think that the baseline expectation is that you come up with all new stuff. I mean, really.

Uberkitty, That would be fun, but start up a new thread for contests. This one is long enough without making it fun. ;)

I think that Level Equivalent or Base Monster Levels (BML to avoid confusion with Lawful Evil) would be a term that would be easily understood by anyone who understands ECL.

Given the subjectivity of the judging, I think that it will be possible for them to narrow the field down as quickly as they need to. Now if the deadline isn't carved in stone, I'm sure they will feel better about giving the submissions their due on the first read through. But If the...

Actually, I think that it might be more accurate to say that you are conceptualizing the restaurant, setting the menu and selecting the wines for the wine list and that the chefs and interior designers are going to handle making the actual recipies and decorating the details to your...

Can you imagine the epic slagging they would get if they charged even a single cent to submit? T$R received its symbolic moniker by simply offering too many products (well, and being a bit agressive with their copyright defenses) for sale. Charging fans to apply for a job would undo any...

Not until the winners are announced! Publishing the one pagers before judging is complete might compromise (or give the impression of compromising, raise the suspicion of compromising, etc.) the blind judging process. I would suggest opening the forum for the one pagers on August 7th at the...

I think that you've answered your own question in a sense. "your move equivalent you take a partial action and attack" A move/move-equivalent action is not a partial action. They are not interchangeable. A partial action is not equivalent to a move action, it is not move-equivalent. So read...

Well, you are of course free to house-rule it away. But the Sage/FAQ are very clear on the issue of extra attacks and WWA. That being said, I am curious about the math involved in the combination of WWA and Improved Two Weapon Fighting. Being able to attack one opponent with three attacks...

"If you have a set of inconsistent premeses - but still hold them to be true - there is nothing I can do except point this out. " Actually, they aren't premises. They are rules. As such they were not written by philosophers (and would gain nothing substantial from being vetted by...

Re: Re: Thought... Yeah, I avoided that one. It is obvious, but flawed. On the other hand (and I have a lot of hands) I do think that complaining that circumstances outside of the BBB's control force him to endure extra attacks doesn't sit well with D&D. You can be a 20th level fighter, but...

My understanding is that if you are unable to use a feat then you are unable to use any feats that take it as a prerequisite. So if you put on heavy armor you cannot spring attack, so you cannot WWA. I could be mistaken, though. To be honest it hasn't come up in a game yet so I haven't had to...

IceBear, Your houserules are your business, of course. I just want to make it crystal clear that there are no balance issues at play. The fighter will not become too powerful if you allow the combination. In fact, I think that the fighter was intended to capitalize on the synergies between...

Useless? Not strictly. Worthwhile, hardly. As to your concerns about the vampire. The reason why it is easier to defeat when it is using rats (Rats against a 12th level fighter?) as mooks, is that the Fighter has spent eight feats to learn how to deal with this situation. If you think of...
