    Was Gandalf Just A 5th Level Magic User?

    I am aware of that quote, at the entrance to Moria . . . but that is the only reference I am aware of to anything of the sort. I could argue that was more of a turn of phrase for Gandalf than an actual reference to any such magic. There is nothing else in any of the other trilogy books, or the...

    D&D comes to Middle Earth (from Cubicle 7)

    This is going to be awesome. I'm a huge fan of TOR; yes, the releases are slow, but they are excellent when they do come out. As 5E and TOR are the only two games I play right now, this will be perfect for me. I believe the conversion will be fine. I took the Scales of War adventures in 4E and...

I've been looking for a specific miniature for years - a female human duel whip wielding fighter - and not surprisingly, there is a dearth of...

    Looking for old article about whips

    Thanks Wednesday Boy. I am well aware of the WotC material; I have a dual whip tempest fighter that uses some of these feats. This article was meant to add more options for whip fighters, if I recall correctly. It was definitely third party.

    Looking for old article about whips

    About a year or two ago there was an article in the ENWorld newsletter that contained optional rules (feats and powers, I think) for whip fighters. Try as I might I cannot find the article now. It was not from WotC but I don't recall who published it. Does anyone remember this article and if so...
