If you had access to the PHB2, I'd suggest replacing Bardic Lore with Bardic Knack, which would significantly augment your non-core skill group. It would also almost justify taking the Jack of All Trades feat (which, contrary to what you said, only gives you a flat 1/2 virtual rank in skills)...

NG's upcoming schedule Not really a question...for those who don't check out Necro's forum regularly, Bill Webb recently posted a listing of anticipated upcoming titles and dates through early 2006! Bill wrote: And yes, Sword of Air is definitely in the works. ***** Okay almighty Orcus...

MoaET: What is It? Heya Joe! The short answers to your questions: Yes, yes, yes, yes, and maybe. ... Okay, I guess I can provide a LITTLE more information than that. The book covers encounters of all kinds. There are indeed massive monster listings, divided by climate, terrain...

What size? I picked medium; as our critter advances in hit dice, of course, it can always gain in size.

The Rule of Three I also picked three. Strange symmetry...

Hit Dice choice I picked 2-4; I like starting small, and then including a large advancement potential. This way a single critter can be used to challenge a wider range of PCs.

Alignment choice I too went for lawful evil, one of my favorite alignments. Note that by having a non-neutral alignment, our creation will have to have intelligence.

Well, Mystic Eye, I'm happy that you found my review constructive. I look forward to checking out your future releases. :)

I know that many of Necromancer Games' products, particularly Rappan Athuk, come from years of intensive gameplay--except the lowest level (no one's survived that long in a Bill Webb Rappan Athuk campaign, apparently). Another upcoming adventure of theirs, The Sword of Air, is also a dungeon of...

Rappan Athuk Advice Looks like WSmith beat me to the punch here on my advice--which is to check out the Necromancer Games forum, where they have an entire section devoted to Rappan Athuk. I agree with the above consensus that the party levels mentioned in RA1 (at least six characters of 3rd...

1. Fellowship of the Ring 2. Excalibur 3. Princess Bride 4. Highlander 5. Big Trouble in Little China Honorable mention to: Krull (what the hell, a guilty pleasure of mine).

The Damien Alternative Here's an option: Get a hold of some dimensional shackles (26,000 gp), a portable hole (14,000 gp), and a bag of holding (2.500+ gp). Enter the match wearing the shackles. Then in round 1, move to within 10 feet of your opponent and put the PH into the BOH. When the...
