That's funny, our group said it "felt like a 5th level game" too! We played an adventure I quickly whipped up. The PCs came across some brigands guarding a bridge (man, that Human Rake is tough!). The next encounter was with lots and lots of kobold minions, really making the Wizard's "fireball"...

The Last Grenadier is still in Burbank, though it keeps moving. The most recent address is: 820 N Hollywood Way Burbank, CA 91505 I also vaguely remember a store called "Flights of Fantasy" in Santa Monica. It's been a while since I've been there, so it might not be there anymore. If...

We have a 4 person group needing one or two more players to round things out. We will be alternating between two campaigns: An ongoing homebrew and my own not-yet-started Freeport campaign. Currently we meet one-ish on Saturdays in the Pacific Palisades, but we all have flexible schedules if...

I go to the Last Grenadier in burbank. It's passable; nothing amazing.

I'm going to have to hop on the Ars Magica bandwagon. (best game EVAR!) If it weren't for 3e, I'd still be playing it. I can't imagine why anyone would want to remove the grogs, they were really fun to play. We found that doing things troupe-style worked the best for them though. One player...

One thing that springs to mind is that D&D has a very prominent tactical/strategic aspect to it. By that I mean that characters & players are expected to do quite a bit of planning for the character's progression, for eliminating bad guys, for dealing with the situation at had, for navigating...

I wasn't sure I was going to get this book after all the brouhaha & controversy surrounding it, but it sounds like the book actually has quite a bit of worthwhile & reasonable material I can actually use in a campaign. Thanks for the review!

First I want to apologize: I was in no way attempting to tell you how to construct the site, or in any way prescribing what you should do. I was merely offering my interpretation of the layout. Actually, I only saw the Latest Reviews link when I was counting links. I had never noticed it...

Personally, I consider the reviews section the most useful resource on the site. Going by the placement of the links, however, it is the 17th most important section. Some things that have a higher structural priority than reviews: * D20 Topsites * Chat room * What is the d20 system? I don't...

A couple of comments: 1--Where's the link to the reviews page? Please, also make it easier to find than on the old page. I've referred people to enworld to find reviews, but eventually had to send them an url to the actual reviews page because they couldn't find the link. 2--I will now become a...

Though on the other extreme, a party can easily kill an orcwort if they knew it was there. IIRC, it only moves 10'. So couldn't they either a) shoot it with flaming arrows from outside its reach, or, assuming that the forest is too dense for those tactics to work, b) simply burn the thing out...

Designation of Open Game Content: Subject to the Product Identity designation above, the following portions of Book of Eldritch Might II: Songs and Souls of Power are designated as Open Game Content: the variant bard and sorcerer classes in Chapter One; all skills, abilities, and feats; the...

A couple of (non-menu) points I'd like to toss into the discussion of a site redesign: Fonts (peeve): Please, please do not change the font size of body text. If you (Morrus) think the text is too big, then change your browser's font size. If I set my browser to display 32 point fonts (e.g.)...

I would think that yes, fast healing would function to stabilize the character. I am concerned, however, with the impact that fast healing might have on a character and a party. Essentially, it obviates the need to ever be healed again (notwithstanding in-combat healing). The ability, for all...

No. He has a larger vocabulary than I (but not by much, methinks). :p

This is a bit misleading. It is akin to reccommending to someone that when he goes to the pony races, he ought to place his bets according to which horse's name he likes best, and what his favourite colour is. This being a game with a not insignificant stochastic component, it would be ill...

Yeah, you're right. I always miss the size penalty to attack. :mad:

Well, it depends on the monster type. In the Dragon article, which I'm basing this on), Aberrations are marked "2 × Int score (+2/extra level)". The humanoid and giant types get "6 + Int modifier (+1/extra level)". Then for Dragons and Outsiders, they have a remark like "8/HD (int modifier...

We have always been in favour of applying the armour reduction first, and then applying speed modifications, for the simple expedient of the lack of a "40 ft." column on the armour chart. Ergo said Barbarian would move 30 ft. at medium encumbrance and 20 ft. at heavy. Therefore a Small Barbarian...

You seem to be confusing it with the reduce spell, which, in addition to promoting munchkinism, also happens to promote dwarfism, diminutivism and otherwise general smallness.
