Thanks for the review Psion. One thing I would like to add is that there is a small errata for the book at: http://www.chainmailbikini.com/files/bm-errata-6-22-03.pdf I mention it here because it addresses some feats you mentioned, notably Perfect Reflexes and Greater Deflect Arrows (called...

Krug, Thanks for the review! One question: Is there anything in Call of Duty you thought could use some improvement or expansion? As I posted on Joe's review, we're working on a web enhancement for the book and want to know what you'd like to see. Thanks again, James Garr Chainmail Bikini...

Thanks for the review, Joe. We had a lot of fun writing and playtesting the book. We're going to do a web expansion for Call of Duty, probably next year, so if anyone has any feedback for us please visit us at http://www.chainmailbikini.com or post on ENWorld's boards. Joe already has me...

Chainmail: There will be an announcement on our website at http://www.chainmailbikini.com. Our current plan is to release a large web enhancement for Beyond Monks for free on our website at some future date, probably late this year. After that, we'll apply the errata to Beyond Monks and...

My sentiments exactly. It sounds like she needs to do some growing up. Adults talk; school-children leave notes. Not asking her to marry you might not have been a mistake. In any case, good luck to you. James Garr

Thanks for the detailed review! I just want to add that there is an errata and FAQ file now that addresses a few minor problems, including the ones brought up by Psion. You can get it from our web site at http://www.chainmailbikini.com/products.html or download it directly from...

Psion: Yep, those are mistakes. There should be no martial secret at 1st level, and there shouldn't be a speed column at all for the NPC table. We've already addressed the starting package error in the errata, but you're the first to notice the speed column. I'll update the errata/faq file...

Heh, I messed up and used the wrong account.

The rules for Style Mastery feats in Beyond Monks aren't exactly like those in OA or the Dragon article, (I couldn't use those rules since they aren't in the SRD) but they are very similar, and were certainly inspired by OA. I tried to stay away from doing real-world styles in Beyond Monks...

Here's the complete table of contents. The page numbers aren't in a line because of the font change, and the message forum removes any spaces I put in. There's also an "options index" in the back that allows you to check which options are allowed in your campaign, and serves as a standard...

Bryon wrote the excellent Sylvan Monk prestige class for us, and helped tremendously with playtesting. He'll be contributing even more to Call of Duty, if some big game company doesn't hire him first. :) James Garr Chainmail Bikini Games, Ltd. http://www.chainmailbikini.com

Me too. I was at Gencon in 2000 and asked the design team during a seminar on the new Player's Handbook "since the paladin in 3rd edtion is called into service, why isn't it a prestige class? It would have made more sense, as it would have made the class more prestigious. " One of them...

You don't know how hard it was for me to resist posting on the other thread. :) I am going to write a whole chapter on mounts for centaur paladins... Seriously though, my thoughts on non-humanoid paladins - the rules for customizing the paladin class to replace certain abilities like the...

Call of Duty will be less crunchy than Beyond Monks because a book about paladins really demands more roleplaying stuff than a book about martial arts. For instance, I can't imagine writing nearly a hundred feats appropriate for paladins, or not writing several pages on the Code of Conduct and...

Thanks for the feedback. On pricing, we're going to try to price our products as competitively as we can, while still trying to be profitable. For a 64 page PDF densely packed with playtested rules content, we feel Beyond Monks is priced appropriately at $8.00. But we're new at this, and...
