Your books are 30% off, so we'll figure that it's 9 dollars off a PHB. You pay $21 dollars to get the book. They pay a processor, an order puller, and shipping to get the book to you. They've already lost the money made with the book. PDF sales are a different matter. We're selling at 10% off...

This I'm not so sure about. I just started wirking at my LGS, and internet sales aren't the biggest threat. You end up paying in shipping what you gained in the sale (or so the customers say). Our biggest concern is the big chains (Barnes and Nobles, etc) who can afford to under cut us. As for...

Some random info, because it's fun... Some fun facts, in case you get that player who complains about speed penalties (especially in aircraft). An interceptor can do a top speed of 40. 45 with a pilot; 50 with a pilot/combat ace PrC combo. If my math is right (rounding to the nearest...

I've been partial to using IK's Sniper PrC, adding Sniper Focus as a class skill. Nothing says lovin' like a x6 crit in addition to SF damage!! :] I did think about converting the PrC to a Quickdraw Pistol Master (Iaijutsu becomes Quickdraw Focus, with a max range of the weapons first range...

Did that, but the player brought it on himself. He played a drow sniper. They were on a mission to find a criminal who had taken refuge with a gang. he got frustrated as to how the mission was going, so he started sniping gang members to get their attention. For what ever reason, he actually...

Sword and Sorceries 'Excalibur' has a feat that allows you to, once per session, equalize an otherwise untenable situation. It's all based on DM fiat (no set stats or DC). They have another that allows you to, once per session (I think), declare that you foresaw an event and claim to have...

I haven't for sometime, but one player recently volunteered to start mapping combat. He's blaming his recent 'friendly fire' episodes on not being able to see what's going on.

Using 3.0 and an OGL source, 4 per round. Using a sorcerer, Quicken Spell, and mongoose's Artillerist PrC: - It reduces the casting time with metamagic feats to one round. - The last level 'Re-ignite' ability allows you to recast a previous evoction (cast within one round) for half effect as...

I allow the XPH as is. I'd include the Psychic's Handbook, but it has mysteriously gone missing. We have a gestalted Unfettered/Psion (Elocator) in the party so far. I my campaign magic is considered the main political power. Psions, being a threat, are registered and under constant...

OGL ancients has a warrior class based on the greek and other fighting styles of that era (a mix of myth and historic accounts). This is for your standard soldier (slaves, recruited, common upbringing, etc). Your nobles use an adjusted fighter class, getting Officer rank at 1st level and Genral...

Another option is the tribal/totem focus in the same book. In effect, you get a +1 to one skill in a given list at first level. Every time you take certain feats (depends on your focus) you gain another +1 bonus. This is an unnamed bonus that stackes with itself. Some examples: Tribal skill...

My two cents: Get a hold of HoHF: Half Orcs. There are many rage feats that you migh be interested in. I'd replace the trap sense progression with a free rage feat progression, with the barbarian gaining a rage feat when they would have gained trap sense +2, +4, and +6. It might seem powerful...

Yep, largely the same as the Iaijutsu rules (Treat it as a surprise action; no iterarive attacks while sniping). If you manage to stay hidden you get another surprise action at the beginning of the next round. No sniping with explosive weapons. No getting to hide after sniping with blasters. I...

I'd like to know this as well!! :uhoh:

I'm stealing this idea from Aeon Flux, sort of. One of our players (a sorcerer of small size) will be getting a bodyguard in power armor soon. I'm thinking later of having a dimensional space added the armor via a modified back storage area. A nice portable place to hide, deal, relax, etc...

I'd have to agree with robberbaron. We have two players with leadership, with two more planning on taking it later. The result after they all have their cohorts (in e gestalted campaign): -A pilot with a healing +2 buff to most of his skills, and tracking when the scout is out. -A melee based...

No one's seen this picture then?

Compassion denotes empathy, something a fair percentage of the D&D pantheons seem to be lacking. While some D&D gods are truely compassionate, most do what they do because of who they are (they don't represent magic, they ARE magic, etc etc). Be it pride or enlightened self-interest, their...

Nightfall, If the gods survival wasn't so tied to their worshippers (wasn't that started in FR, as a divine punishment??), I'd say that. It definitely makes sense with the Greek/Roman gods :] .

A touch of both, but I think the balance is an unintentional result of the pride (constant one-upmanship). There are other motives, but I think most boil down to pride the the D&D pantheons.
