Progressive Revolutionary Bold Now better tasting!

I'm currently running a game set less than one year after the destruction of the Death Star 1.0...and Yavin IV. It seems that Luke took a little too long to make the shot and Tarkin was able to fire the hyperlaser into the Masassi Ruins. It sucks that Leia had to die, but I feel it was worth...

That change did not make it into the official errata. In the current errata, carbines do 3d8, but are considered inaccurate weapons, meaning they cannot be used at long range.

Better, faster, stronger. But, seriously, the goal of the designers was to increase the speed of play and better simulate a heroic fantasy-in-space setting. Character creation is simplified without sacrificing much in the way of detail. Crunchy rules that slowed down play or created needless...

Well, if a rabbit can do it, why not a duck? "That's one mean-tempered waterfowl! Look at the BONES, man!" Visions of a Half-Fiend Dire Duck named Lou who wields a spiked chain and has a taste for long pig glazed with orange sauce.

I disagree with the concept of Rule 0 being, "The DM Is Always Right." I believe that Rule 0 should read, "The game is supposed to be fun for everybody." If that isn't happening, then something is wrong. It could be a player or the DM that is responsible, or even a combination of both...

Go with a muscovy. They should get a bonus to STR from their size and a minus to CHA from their appearance. Do me a huge favor. Rename the familiar "Glorantha." Please.

My DM pronounces house Orien almost exactly like the stellar constellation. I pronounce it OR-ee-en. During our last adventure, we were tracking some missing Orien workers. We came across an amulet with the Orien sigil laying on the ground. I took the opportunity to intone, "Not idly do the...

Something that bugs me is the mercenary attitude of the NPCs in too many D&D games. I sympathize with the poster who wished to just once be paid a fair wage for a fair day's adventuring. And what's up with divine spellcasters? The LG ranger stumbles into town, crawling the last few yards to...

The exact text of the errata reads, "...you deal +100% the normal damage bonus from your use of the Power Attack feat." I interpret that to mean +2 per -1 taken with a one-handed weapon or +4 per -1 taken with a two-handed weapon for total Power Attack damage when using Leap Attack. There is...

Doh! :confused: Aha! The Action Surge feat from the Eberron Campaign setting will let me take a Move action after a charge, I just have to spend two action points to do it. Expensive.

Ah, but with 8 ranks and a +8 bonus the odds of making a 10' standing broadjump are much better (DC 20). That way you don't have to spend part of the move getting up to speed for the jump. Why does it matter? Because of another popular Scout feat chain, Dodge>Mobility>Spring Attack. Using my...

It's fairly specific. A touchdown is not a jump. I'd say no. FYI, there is also some errata on this feat available on the WOTC website. The errata clarifies the extra damage. It's an additional 100% of the Power Attack bonus damage, not three times the damage, as one interpretation of the...

I look at it as a cinematic thing, like in the Matrix films. Our leather-clad heroes experience their best marksmanship while flying through the air. I suppose one could come up with a feat such as Defenestrated Marksman (TM) or Zero-G Slomo Sniper, but skirmish is much easier to say.
