In cases where it is unclear, would go with what makes sense to you, as the DM.

Ah, if only it were about that. What many end up being are the parsing of words rather than the spirit and intention of what's presented. It's very programmatic. Thus, encouraging DMs to apply their own logic to keep the flow, balance, and thematic scale of the game in check, you end up with a...

I know I'm an outsider here, but in cases such as this, I would just have the DM adjudicate it. I know, I know! I'm weird. ;)

I was a hair away from going. I really wish I went now. By the way, George (the coordinator) is awesome.

Aegeri, would you happen to be coming to Gen Con? A bit off topic, I know. As for the product, I think it will turn out great. The parts people are not as interested in can be ignored, while I am sure most will find some areas to be very cool and to their liking. It's impossible to design a...

I have a good buddy that is an IP lawyer and avid gamer. He has an ongoing column that discuss this topic. Loremaster - Protection from Chaos You may notice that several gaming companies, including Kobold Quarterly, don't subscribe to the GSL. Mainly, because they don't have to. There is very...

Oh, you know what. I did have an updated creature in this. You just jogged my memory. It's truly nasty though, I think everyone will love what I did with it. *ahem* :cool:

Looking back, all of the creatures I created for this appear to be new and not regurgitated. I hope you check it out. I think it will be cool. As for Rob, he's a good bud of mine. He too doesn't mind putting out cool stuff on his site when people ask. Either way, I hope you end up finding...

Want for me to design you some epic tier monsters? I can give you a PDF but it won't be anything official from WotC. I'm not being a smart-butt either. If people want me to design some epic tier content, I would not mind doing so. I was one of the four designers on this MV product. I obviously...

I find I have more wiggle-room in 4e than anything prior. It's easier for me to handle things and I have experienced a proliferation of creativity. This is not to say I expect everyone to have the same experience. I do, however, think people will use anything they can to bash what they don't like.

Danny, I don't think it only leaves you with two senarios. Hopefully you can find a way to make it work for your group. Mine has no issues with it and it adds another layer for them to bounce around in. I also have skills for Blacksmithing, etc...

Try this out. If you need more help, let me know. I am a big military history buff. Korean War: Weapons, History, Combat Photos

Hey turd, who peed in your Wheaties? If your question wasn't answered, why the heck didn't you ask it again or just PM me? Maram is one of the seven lost gods.

I let my players pencil in skills. How hard is that? >_> You are now trained in: fishing

Can't give Herschel XP. +1 buddy.

Runepirests are divine. Unless you think they would re-do it as an elemental class, I'm not sure it would be in this.

Quoted for emphasis.

The problem with a lot of trunk-junk that 2e (and 3e) had, was that while a lot of content was created, so much of it was forgotten/lost/ignored due to its horrible interaction with the game. I'm still looking for an example of a D&D mechanic that exemplifies roleplaying (I probably need to...

Then you disagree with a lot of people. This is fine, but I would love to open the debate. Possibly in another thread. Some people won't roleplay, or simply don't want to. They want to run around like Conan and swing a big sword. Anything attached to their character in the form of traits or...

I just had a very similar conversation with a LARP guy I know back here at home. He seems to think the same way as you. My argument is that as long as a person takes on a persona and develops traits selected to the character, that is roleplaying. Here is where I will concede some valid points...
