One of my party members plays a Dwarven Battlerager. Holy cow, can he take some hits! He doesn't dish out tons of damage, but he soaks it up like he's supposed to. Be prepared to keep a pad of paper handy to keep track of your temp hp, though. Minions also pose virtually no threat to him...

Does anyone else feel like Beastmaster Rangers need some love after this?

Thanks. Fixed it. Shows you what I get for typing late!

Hey all, this is Luke from Fear the Boot. The entire ordeal stemmed from an ambiguous comment made by our moderator, Dan, in Episode 62. We jested a bit about the voting process which was in poor taste (as are a good portion of the jokes in our shows, for those who listen), but then...

It's too bad you only picked core mods. The triad here in Dyvers, especially Joe Selby, really went all out to make Year 5 the climax that it was meant to be. Pulling together plots from every year and tying them together in a great struggle which I know my group loved. Year 5 was just a...

The last era, that of the Sphinx's and Snakemen ended a while back and humans are by far and away the dominant culture, especially in the Northlands. In the Southlands, the humanoid descendents of the snakes are trying to retake their old empire, leading to conflict with the many human states...

*Yawn* "What's that? News?" he says as he flips though the boxed set he's had and loved since Gen Con. :D (This is great news, I'll finally have some more folks to discuss this with. It is, in all ways, and excellent product)

Spider Climb has been my favorite first level spell since I started playing back in the early 90's. They moved it to second level in 3.5. I am not happy about that in the slightest.

Let me toss in my kudos also on a great start to the new adventure path! I've liked the other two paths, but this is definitely the best starting adventure of the three. It just has an air of excitement that holds throughout the whole thing. Here's hoping the rest of the path is just as good!

Any chance you could gie a little more detail here? You have me intrigued, but even the pdf of Swashbuckling Adventures is around $18 at DTRPG. Every review I've read mentios the prescence of such rules but nothing on how it is run.

When Mage Knight Dungeons went under I took the opportunity to buy a huge lot of treasure chest on the cheap. I think I have over 50. All perfect size for D&D!

We played Hackmaster for 3 years bi-weekly with a fantastic DM. It was a great game with tons of action, humor, and heroics. It's a throwback to 1E with some modern sensibilities. But it's not for everyone. And you need a utterly amazing DM to run it well. Fortunately, we had just that.

Eberron fully embraces the implied setting, I don't see how it's not needed. Eberron is what happens when the implied setting is allowed to evolve and grow, actually. Spycraft is OGL. You can't do Spycraft with D&D because the implied setting is completely contradictory to the game setting...

While I appreciate the advice, you're way overstepping your bounds in assumptions about my DMing. You know absolutely nothing about me, my group, or our style. Because of this you don't know that I'm a free-wheeling GM who loves to see the players do really cool stuff and have fun doing it...

I think the affiliation rules in PHB II are more what I wanted PrCs to be when they were first announced in the early 3E hints. If/When I run again, I'll be eliminating somwhere around 90% of the PrCs. Those that do make it will probably be tied to some level of an affiliation.

I agree with most of your list, but I don't think 5 and 8 are so ingrained that they're unchangeable. As for 5, Eberron breaks rule 5 and actually introduces faith into D&D, which wasn't there before. Still, the spells have to come from somewhere... With regards to 8, that doesn't have to be...

Like Savage Worlds. It's my holy grail. It's the system that completly caters to how I run a game and it's phenomenally easy to adapt to vast variety of settings. Like D&D, it has its own assumptions (mostly that it's very cinematic), but Savage Worlds' assumptions and my own match up very...

But that's just it, there are problems with shoehorning campaign worlds to work with D&D. Don't get me wrong, the variations on the implied setting are numerous and there is a lot to be explored (look at Dark Sun, Planescape, Birthright), but any setting you use the rules with has to find some...

Those of you who have gamed with me probably know I'm not the biggest fan of 3.5. I'll play it without hesitation, but it's not something I've been eager to run since my two-yearish 3E campaign ended in '02. One of the big reasons for this is the sheer amount of work it requires to DM. The prep...

Each path does seem to have branches to other paths though, depending on where the PCs want to go.
