After reviewing the changes, I will be using the 3.5 monster manual with the 3.0 PHB and DMG, as it beefs up the creatures and fixes the problems with powerful parties not having powerful enough foes. I have to bump up several CR already, I think the more powerful monsters will fix this.

Hide in plain sight is one of the most abused rules. In normal light, in plain view, no one should be able to hide from anyone without magic. How is a guy with a bow , swords, bags of loots, cloaks, etc, going to "hide" anywhere in plain sight?

There is no such thing as a readied action outside of combat, ready is in the COMBAT section, although some people think there should be, and there is some indication that 3.5 may add one. You can have a surprise round, and you can have a non-surprised Orc leader ready an action, which then...

Flight of the Boodles, a Dragon mag game. The Great Khan Game, which is better with 3 or more. It also helps if you drink a lot during the game... RoboRally of course, 2-player with lots of checkpoints...

Paladin of Vecna I have a Paladin of Vecna (he was raised by evil clerics who hid their alignment, and lied to about Vecna.) He spends his time trying to convert others. He is told that it is rude to check people for evil, so he doens't do it (he has the Paldin's curse, he needed stat points...

I plan on using all of the new monster data from 3.5, because it doesn't affect the party directly, but we will finish the reast of the campaign under 3.0 for the players, spells, etc.

Scuta are not tower shieds, they don't weigh 45 pounds and don't have stands. I have one, you don't know what you are talking about. The curved shield does not and never did provide 100% cover unless you stopped and crouched down. Although many details are wrong in the movies, the SHAPE of the...

Tower shields becoming normal shields From Skip Williams Sage chat over the weekend: Q: My character is hiding behind a +1 tower shield in one hand and a +2 tower shield in the other (also plate mail). I've read the FAQ and know how tower shields work. But if tower shields provide cover, not...

A giant is attacking your party, you run adjacent to him, then hoist your tower shield to provide 100% cover. He can't hit you, but will probaly shred the tower shield. You get to make your attacks next round undamaged, though you don't have a shield anymore. OR Your entire party walks around...

I have seen any number of interpretations of tower shield. I think it is broken and we'd be better off without it. It was only ever used for besieging castles in medieval times anyway, and that doesn't happen much without any mass combat rules...

Wrong. Picking a weapon up off the ground covers it all, unless you have a reading comprehenshion problem. It doesn't matter if you are prone or not. It couldn't be clearer. House rule away, but don't claim there is no rule, as you are wrong.

Is there somewhere else to download the preview from? RPGNow wants you to register to buy before letting you get it, and I don't want to do that.

Prolonged recession = less discretionary cash High up-front inventory costs versus low turnover High incidence of theft Need accountant and budgeting skills Don't recommend it, he should become a partner with someone else who knows what he is doing. You can lose your shirt easy...

To anyone who has it already (I cannot get it until next week apparently), does it have the Drow and Mindflayer MPCs? If not I have to create some for my game. If they are in there, could someone tell me what the first two levels are for each? I don't need flavor text, just stats granted... I...

Darksun is already mostly converted. http://www.athas.org/ is the official fan site doing the work. I finished converting about 100 varmints recently. Don't know when they will be finished, but they have a lot of useful things there...

[Sarcasm/] So is this a reprint of the Epic Level Handbook? [/Sarcasm]

If Mr. Reynolds did the MPC (monster PC) class listings, they will be good...I have to also recommend the Monster Handbook from FFG, it has an intelligent CR calculating scheme that replaces the old guesswork system. Many other goodies too...
