I thought of this last night... I actually have a real-life example of "Bardic Knowledge". Ted, a musician friend of mine at work asked me what a "John da Conqueroo" was. It was a lyric in a old blues song he played from time to time. A friend of Ted's asked him what it was, but all he knew...

As before, all I can do is point to the exact wording of the ability: "local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places." I find that clear and specific. It doesn't discuss any kind of general knowledge or even where the knowledge comes from (taking into account the varied sources for...

Umm, you're way off on that one. From memory and on a quick glance I know these that use Bardic Knowledge that in no way require Bard levels. Ardent Dilettante from Planar Handbook Ollam from Complete Adventurer Yakuza from Oriental Adventures Lore Delver from Races of Destiny Harper Scout from...

Lord Pendragon: Bards are not the only class, by any stretch, that gets Bardic Knowledge. Many prestige classes that have nothing to do with bards give the Bardic Knowledge ability. Loremaster out of the DMG is a prime example of that. Kazinsky: That example falls under my interpertation of...

The rules as written just don't support that point of view though. They're pretty specific in what it covers. Why have any knowledge skills if it's supposed to be a "know-all"?

Yeah, for us that's the biggest loss, the money was a minor issue. My wife has never been to New Orleans and it's something I really wanted to share with her. To add to the comedy of the situation: I was making alternate plans to go somewhere else to go for the weekend and the idea of the...

Try this, it may help :) http://www.dcrouzet.net/nbotime/ Mongoose also has the Encyclopedia Arcane: Chronomancy For my own campaign, I've found a combination of the two works well, with my own house rules on it.

This isn't exactly the best thread for this question (though we'll try to help :)), since it deals with requests for artists to create new artwork, not a listing of already produced work. Anyway, they can be quite difficult to find. I have a pretty large database of imagery at home (I'm at work...

Well some good news among all the bad... Priceline gave us a refund for our trip (minus "service fee" which wasn't too bad and it'll take 2-3 weeks). I am surprised and impressed by that, their policy is pretty clear on refunds. Bad news of course is that New Orleans is in much worse shape then...

I just can't imagine that the intended use was to either make Knowledge skills unnecessary or to give two rolls for the same information. It doesn't seem in the spirit, or in the text, of the Bardic Knowledge ability at all. And I don't see how a non-unique, non-specific Balor would fall under...

It's not an issue of balance, lot's of other classes get Bardic Knowledge. The character in question isn't a bard, but his prestige class gives him the Bardic Knowledge ability. Bards get Knowledge skills as a class skill for a reason, if Bardic Knowledge replaced them, then why have the skills?

One of my players believes that Bardic Knowledge should be rolled anytime a Knowledge skill check called for. If the party party meets a Balor, he wishes to make a Bardic Knowledge check to see if he knows of the creature (as per Knowledge Planes). If he comes across some drow, he wishes to use...

I know... I really wanted this to be perfect, you know. I have so many magical memories of New Orleans, so many amazing places and people. It was going to be a chance to share it all with my wife (who has never been there) and it hurts that won't happen for who knows how long now. I know we're...

Our belated honeymoon (we got married last year) was booked for New Orleans this coming weekend :(. We got our rooms and such through Priceline, so we're hosed since we won't be able to get our money back. I'm not having a good day :( :(.

mispost, deleted. Got Mithril Dragon and Chain Lightning mixed up, hehe (both of whom rock for their amazing work here).

It's not bad, but all the ones I've come across are a bit too "brutish". Especially Grey and Death slaads have a much more... refined feel to them. I'm amazed no minis exist for them in all the years that they've been part of the D&D universe.

I looked through the demons and devils, I couldn't find any that really fit. Did you have some particular ones in mind? I may have missed it...

I've been looking through some of the old Planescape minis, but there are many I can't find. Anyone know if Ral Partha released one for Planescape?

I'm looking for a suitable miniature that can be used for either a green, grey, or death slaad. The two slaads available through WoTC's plastic minis are very different then any of those. Thanks for any recommendations!
