Hi. I'd like to be able to look through the reviews section and check out how the various 3rd party 4th ed stuff has been reviewed, but there doesn't seem to be any way to say 'Please show me only 4th ed products', and there's so much 3.x stuff in there that it's difficult to browse for what...

I'm not entirely sure, from reading the PHB, how the fancy masterwork armors with the 'special' prices are assigned. My current guess is that the medium masterwork item is automatically part of any +4 or +5 armor, and that the really good masterwork armor is automatically part of any +6 armor...

Hey folks. So, I picked up the GameMastery Critical Hit Deck this weekend, and now I'm interested in trying it - it's a neat change to the way that standard crits work, and I like how the results differ based on what type of damage it is. Anyone else had a look at it? What did you think?

I'm really fond of WotC's Dungeon Tiles - I've got one set of the basic, and two sets of the arcane. It's a great mixture of basic room tiles and interesting features, and the pieces are sturdy enough for regular use. I started using the pieces to lay out map segments for the Shackled City...

Okay... It's been two months. I still haven't received my product from the ebay auction I won in August. I've been in sporadic contact with the person who owns the account - Jason Parent, but he's not responding to his emails again. First it took months to get my community supporter...

In the thread that's arguing over point-buy vs. random, I came up with the suggestion of allowing players to pick their stats, with a caviat: Someone suggested I start a thread to discuss what Hubris could do, so this is that. First off, Hubris is supposed to be a breaking factor of sorts...

Hi. I won one of the ennies ebay auctions, but failed to be at Gen Con due to a medical emergency. I've tried sending a couple of ebay messages to the person who was doing the selling, but apparently he's not paying attention to his account, and hasn't replied. Who is it that I need to get in...

Hi folks. I'm on a big geek trip this summer, going first to Baltimore for Otakon, and then travelling Thursday from Baltimore up to Gen Con, and then flying home. Although I've got my two flights lined up, I'd be great if I could find a ride from Baltimore up to Gen Con. I'm willing to pitch...

The feat Augment summoning is pretty simple. It says: It's a general feat - not metamagic like it was in 3.0. My question is simple too: Does it apply when summoning a creature with a wand of Summon Monster I? I'd certainly like it to, but I can't figure it either way for sure. The closest...

So, I'm playing a character who specializes in Conjuration and Summon Monster spells - are there any official D&D 3.5 good Prestige classes that enhance/support that sort of wizard? Are there any d20 3.5 PCs I could look for?

So, I've got this Monk/Wizard. He's rocking pretty good, generally, but I came up with an odd idea today and wondered how well the Duellist prestigue class would work for him. The question I have has to do with the first level ability, which says: For a monk, or anyone else with Improved...

So, while browsing the dealer's room at Tacticon last weekend, I came across an interesting titled book by Green Ronin called 'SpirosBlaak' - it's part of their Mystic Vistas line. And I could not figure out what the heck it was. The back was a bullet list of what seemed to be generic crunch -...

Hey folks. My 'Expedition to the Barrier Peaks' campaign has taken it's planned side-step into a plane-travelling campaign, which means that my players are currently exploring a level of Hell. This is all well and good. But as I've been boning up on the planar travel rules in 3.5, I'm not...

In my collection of DM tricks and techniques, I've got one I call 'Bathrooming'. I don't have to use it too often, but it's useful. You use it when your game is going along nicely, you've set up your players to go with option A or B... and they decide to take option Q. You didn't really...

Hello, one and all! This is John Fiala, RPG coordinator for Tacticon 2005. I haven't tried posting to message boards to find games before, but I thought I'd give it a try this year. Tacticon is a regional convention happening here in Denver, taking place from September 1 to September 4th. If...

So, I've got a Wizard-Monk. He's taken the Arcane Fist PrC, and has hit second level, where he gets +1 level advancement to his spells. My question is - does he get the Wizard's two free spells each level, or is that an advantage only to the Wizard class? Because it gets expensive to stop and...

Hi. I had a situation come up the other day involving a wall of force. As you may remember, it says it blocks spells, but what does that mean exactly? I'm sure if I'm casting 'fireball' or 'magic missile', then yes it blocks the spell. But what if the effect of the spell basically starts in...

Hi all. I'm a recent convert to the d20 Modern system. I wasn't really into it at first, but having looked over the SRD, I've become to really like the idea of it all. But while reading in the SRD, I saw that it referred to classes that I assume are in the D20 Modern book, but haven't been...
