What you need is a foil. You say you're heading into a dungeon? Suggest to the DM that he introduce a rival group of adventurers heading for the same prize, led by a cleric of Beshaba. Make them pretty tough, say with each one equal to the average party level, and have the cleric of Beshaba...

Curses! Foiled... umm... for the first time... :D Great contest, Napftor!

Oops. I scanned them all, but I think I missed yours since you only picked one. :) Erm, I'll go back and change that one. EDIT: Changed mine to 44.

Oh, another one! Thanks again for Blight Magic from last time, Napftor! Plague of Dreams (Fiery Dragon's adventure for the 2003 release of Arcana Unearthed; comes with color map of Gahanis) 44 Crusades of Valor (Mongoose) 187 EA: Dragon Magic (Mongoose) 242 DCC #0: Legends are Made, not...

Not in my experience. Look at it thise way: those stats are basically watered-down elf stats, plus a marginally useful multiclasssing benefit that doesn't matter much once the character is actually made and a meh-worthy bonus to Gather Information and Diplomacy. Giving them something extra...

I follow a cue from Unearthed Arcana and give half-elves the human bonus to skill points. I also agree that the poster that thinks humans are underpowered is, well, off the mark. Probably 80-85% of all characters in my games are human, pretty much all of them that don't require some other race...

This is something I'd considered too, but it would make me uneasy to hear that they were planned. These would be either really fascinating reading, or actively terrible; I don't see plain mediocrity in the cards for such volatile subjects. And after reading the BoED and BoVD darkness I'm not...

Are you serious? Mages get the HD, AC, and physical characteristics of a particularly feeble commoner. Experts, which many of use would presumably be "in real life", are better than that. So, yeah, I think I can manage the physical side of wizard-dom. If I were in a "real action scenario"...

Wizard, with an emphasis on metamagic.

I'm working on something like this for EN Publishing right now. Maybe it'll be what you're looking for when it comes out. As for myself, I'd like a 'Nomicon focused on fey, and an environment-series book for the planes. I have and like Mearls' Portals and Planes book, but I think the same...

Oh, I read the review again before posting my comment in response to kigmatzomat. I still think it's unfair of you to give only two stars, based on the comments in your review and the other two. But where would we be if people couldn't have different opinions about reviews, of all things? :)...

Oh, good grief, no. Check out the zombie template on pages 265-267 in the Monster Manual for what happens. The lines "A zombie retains none of the base creature's special attacks." and "A zombie loses most special qualities of the base creature." mean that virtually all class abilities...

I think I was being unfair myself in that comment. What I meant, and should have said, was that it's unfair that Ronin Art's products suffer in their reviews from being "workhorse products." I feel that it would have been improper for Phil to have done oddball or creative mecha devices when...

I'm asking this from the perspective of someone designing new spells. It's the "no dimensions may be less than 10 feet" clause that has me wondering.

Weeee! I'm hyperventilating with joy here. You should see it, it's embarassing. :p

From the SRD: Can spells with a burst or spread area be shapeable? I always took shapeable to mean that you could omit specific squares from the area of effect of spell, and things like that. But reading this I'm not so sure. As long as the spell still hits a 10-foot radius, could you put...

1. Ming the Merciless 2. Great Cthulhu 3. Professor James Moriarty 4. The Joker 5. Galactus 6. Napoleon the Pig 7. John Doe (Se7en) 8. Wile E. Coyote 9. ??? 10. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 11. Keyser Soze 12. Dr. Fu Manchu 13. Pinhead 14. The Master 15. Lex Luthor 16. Gollum 17. Hal 9000 18...

Hey, that's what I said! :) I was wondering if anyone actually caught my meager contribution to the thread.

In addition to others' comments, I'd like to point out that you've got a niche going here, an identity for Ronin Arts. People turn to Malhavoc for the flashy out-there style of product, they turn to WotC for the core books that everyone knows, and they turn to Ronin Arts for the solid stuff...
