    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    If you don't buy impervious, Protection isn't affected by Penetrating either. ;) Defensive Roll and regular (non Impervious) Protection are a closer comparison since they're the same price. Um...penetrating attacks ONLY affect Impervious defenses, cancelling the "no need to save" effect of...

    Cascade City: a Mutants and Masterminds Campaign.

    That would Toren "MacBin" Atkinson, rpg-artist, musician, and Cthuloid afficianado extraordinaire.

    To Dm's: What is your favorite monster/bad guy to throw at the oarty?

    I love this encounter! If only I wasn't so afraid of putting a bunch of rods of wonder in my players' hands. ;)

    [OT] Raw or Smackdown?

    Hogan had been pretty poor in the ring since his return. He needed the rest, he had been working injured for several weeks. He moved like an old man, he throws the worst punches in the company, and is still working the same tired program. The idea of watching Smackdown for Hogan is alien to...

    Level Advancement Rate in 3e

    IMC it's been about 18 months of game time, and the players are 8th or 9th level, closing in on 10th. It's been over 2 years of real time. Ideally, I might have wanted more game time to pass (through extended down time), but the party is battling the calender so there not a lot of downtime.

    What's up with all the 'evil' books lately?

    I've wondered if on occasion some publishers try and scoop WOTC with their releases, such as Traps and Treachery (beating Song and Silence to the shelves) and the Divine and the Defeated (Deities and Demigods). Without WOTC's red tape, it seems possible to get a product together well before...

    Do bows get a stength penalty?

    The lesson...if Strength is your dump stat...USE A CROSSBOW! :) It's pretty much the only thing that makes the repeating crossbow worthwhile.

    [ECL] Githzerai

    I'm pretty sure you'll find their ECL in both MOTP and PsiHB. Even though there are differences between versions in those two manuals, they are all +2.

    Cleric Archers?

    Elven clerics make wicked archers. It's a great role for them as well, since they keep at range, then move in with the healing when needed.

    What are these dice bags you speak of? Tell me more.

    The new D20 Canon

    IMC, only the three core books are canon, everything else is negotiable. That being said, the things I'm most open to are Forgotten Realms feats, Relics and Rituals, Defenders of the Faith, Oriental Adventures feats, and Book of the Righteous.

    The Bane of PrC

    This is pretty much exactly what I had in mind...he starts out as an "apprentice" Vigilant. When he actually enters the elite training, he's a more of a journeyman.

    The Bane of PrC

    As has been pointed out, the mechanics almost demand that players plan for their prestige classes well in advance - usually right from Level 1. Why not think of a prestige class as *starting* at level 1? If someone wants to be an arcane archer, then think of the arcane archer as a single class...

    Can you Really kill someone?

    Kill the king, impersonate his "pet Cleric", wave your hands around and say that the king doesn't want to come back. IMC, Monarchs are reluctant to allow themselves to be ressurected. Gives the clergy too much leverage over the empire, in deciding who can be rezzed and who has to stay dead.

    [ECL] Githzerai

    Both Githyanki and Githzerai are ECL +2. GY's are massively overpowered with their TK at will (16d6 every round), but are easily managed with house rules that limit either times/day or caster level of their psionic powers.

    Silver Age Sentinels (Tri-Stat) -- and Streamlining Hero

    I never said Doc Atomic couldn't dish the beats! I'm sure he was responsible for more KO's than anyone. Formula One (my speedster for everyone except those other 7 who played with us at the Con) definitely wasn't a damage dealer, but I think Raven would have waxed you all if I hadn't pinned...

    Silver Age Sentinels (Tri-Stat) -- and Streamlining Hero

    Played perfectly. :) And Doctor Atomic is a sissy.

    Improved Magic Missle - Help Assigning Level

    Until you get to level 12 or 13, these spells are worse than Magic Missile for average damage. The "per x levels" progression is quite poor.
