Was noticing a handful of my favorite spells from past editions that did not make it into the new PHB. In particular, I was on the lookout for: - glitterdust - improved invisibility (which someone pointed out is greater invis) - prismatic sphere (although the prismatic wall is pretty close) -...

Other than the basic info on Attack Rolls (p26, PH), where else in the PH or DMG is there info on simple attacks with a weapon that do not involve invoking a power? Is there such a section? Is it presumed knowledge that a player carries over from an earlier edition? Or does a character making...

Perhaps it is my aging and aged brain, but I am having a hard time understanding the shift in the game from spells to the various types of spell powers. I will use a 9th level wizard as an example and explain the spellcasting as I understand it. Please correct/advise me of where I am going...

I love real-world places that have exotic/unique fantasy-sounding names. As a kid, Death Valley in California just sounded very cool to me. As a DnD player, it could be the name of a place in Baator. Please list those you know here: In my neck of the woods, there are: > Foul Rift, NJ - a town...

TOO BIG! :p I mean really. This dragon so dwarfs all my other minis. Bringing it out on the table makes the other minis look rather tiny, like specks of dust. Even epic level minis wielding their pin-size swords look ridiculous when moving up for the attack. I should sell it, but I think I...

I'm guessing the naming of creatures using a noun-verb hybrid probably started with Planescape with the planetouched... but in 3e it seemed to explode! That got me wondering just how many there are out there. Spellstiched, warforged, on and on and on... Let's name 'em all (and source material...

What if you had a character, say a Wiz14/Ftr1/Rog1, and this 16th level character had Limited Wish. The character regrets diversifying with 3 classes and wants to change who he is with the limited wish and so... Would you allow a limited wish where the character asks to exchange (give up) his...

Yup - If I am going to spend eternity in a box, I may as well take my dice PH, DMG and good ol' MM along for the ride. Maybe even a few minis, too! I don't have any plans to go 6-ft. under yet but I was wondering who else out there is going to be buried with their beloved D&D gaming stuff! :)...

3.5 definitely incorporated many Forgotten Realms elements (feats, spells nad even prestige classes like the Red Wizard). We all have been seeing a lot of new optional rules being repeated in the various "Complete" books. There are also a lot of cool ideas from Eberron that I could see making...

Are there iconic monsters (in your opinion) from the Monster Manual 2, Fiend Folio and the Monster Manual 3 that have further defined the D&D game as a unique thing? The Monster Manual I is full of iconic critters, sure -- but if there was going to be a book of previously published monsters from...

I am exploring the possibilities of all that darkvision allows in a campaign where I play a tiefling. Darkvision as officially written says this: <<Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black and...

I am harking back to the days of yore and how a new artist, new direction or design really defined a setting in your mind. The cover art of the Planescape and Dark Sun boxset come most to mind. Now we have Eberron. There's the Eberron Campaign Setting and one published adventure. Pick out two...

So this word "pulp" is being tossed around quite a lot lately. In gaming terms, what does it mean to you? (and I ain't talking about Tropicana Grovestand vs. Pure Premium orange juice) ;) In general, I see "pulp" as the mood created when a character with strong personal ties to a particular...

Hey Y'all in the US! Anyone able to purchase/take home Eberron yet? If so, where'd you get it (state, city, etc.)? Please pass on by this thread if you don't plan on buying Eberron, haven't bought it, are in the process of deciding. I'm only interested in tracking Eberron's initial spread...

REALM OF CONJECTURAL FANTASY: The many, many worlds of Wizards of the Coast are unifying, merging into a single campaign setting. What happens when Greyhawk mashes into Forgotten Realms slams into Dark Sun crashes into Birthright blends into Spelljammer collides with Ravenloft smacks into...

What's the release date for the FR: Unapproachable East? - Ed

So you picked a race out of the Players Handbook to start out your new PC. Then came a slew of books, articles, web enhancements that offered Prestige Classes and Templats for your PC to become more than he/she (it?) can be... Which of you became in the end (or on your way to)... an...

Hey All! Is there a list kept online of all the D&D3/d20 products ever made? And if so, where might an inquiring mind find it? :) There is such an incredible wealth of stuff out there that it is easy to lose track of all that has made its way to the gaming table. Thanks! - Ed Bonny

First, <B>Savage Species</B> gives us the half-ogre. Then <B>Races of Faerun</B> gives us the orog (minus the ogre blood that originally gave the orog its name --> orc+ogre = orog). Then I got sad. No ogre-blooded orcs were roaming the Realms... Then there was hope. The ogrillon! Has this...

Hey All, My group currently plays in a gaming shop and have done so for years. Now that I have purchased a house, I plan on shifting the game there... and that opens up more possibilities for newer RPG experiences. In a Theskan inn scenario, I am going to bring out cups of mead and other fine...
