Some quick points. HarnWorld Pros: Incredibly detailed, Fixed date (no advancement of timeline), Great Maps, very realistic. Cons: $pendy: Perhaps highest price per page in the industry, Not ruleset specific (not sure if this is good or bad. You won't find D20 rules in here, just descriptions...

Two of the games I've played in since 3.0 came out had us have at least 1 level in an NPC class. That said, the classes are less powerful then normal classes, varying from only slightly so to greatly so. The commoner class is the biggest culprit of this. Of the five NPC classes, I'd say the...

Another good example would be the Players series and 3.5. The developers were privy to the new 3.5 rules to make sure their books were compliant (or at least informed in the process of refining the new ruleset.) However, they weren't allowed to print until after 3.5 came out. I'm certain that...

It's been a while since I looked at that adventure but I'd suggest having both players build characters a level higher. This could mean having them play a ECL +1 race but they will likely get more mileage out of a higher level character. This will give them a small starting fund to buy magicand...

I fully understand that feeling. Everytime something comes out that either my wife or I had done (not many, mind you), it's pure torment to see it on the shelf and know your comp copies are perhaps still weeks away. Still waiting on PGC&D and PGR&R. But I desperately want to get my hands on...

Yes, but can my Ice Cream Golem combine with your banana golem to for some sort of uber-golem???? Hmm, an Ice Cream golem might work well with Fenrilik. Very artic, but not Norse at all. Now the only question is should I do the different flavors as individual subtypes. Werner

Christmas '81. My Dad got OD&D red box (with the party wading in the water IIRC and Haunted Keep as the adventure.) from friends at work for christmas, and ran a game for his family. I ate the stuff up, and within a few months I begged to run a game. I've been running games ever since. I was...

Yeah, my only issues with the test was that a lot of the questions it was fairly obvious to tell them the "right" answers, but thats typical of these tests. And, for those inhumanly intelligent people out there. I think the only question on got wrong for the intelligence 1 section (I scored a...

Well, I'm a true neutral Gnome Sorcerer (Though I'm almost human, half-gnome?) Str 11 DEx 12 Con 10 Int 16 Wis 14 Cha 16 To think I've always hated gnomes. Maybe I should relook at them.

I generally use the 4d6, best 3, arrange as you like. However, I have a somewhat unique way of rolling if I want to run a more high powered game. I truly hate when one person has much higher stats then everyone else but I also hate point-buys. So, this was my solution. High Power stat roll...

Actually, the modules came out quite a bit after I read the novels. I do remember reading something that the novels were loosely based off of a game that Weis and Hickman were in (or maybe the main characters were once D&D characters) but I could easily be wrong on that. I am 99% certain that...

I'll agree with you on the first one. This is what I save my death effects for, terror-strikes on those close to the PCs. Friends, family, allies and the occasional NPC are all affectionally know as "DM :) :rolleyes: :eek: :o -me tools" I'll kill these guys off, whether its in front of...

So are you saying that death-effects are the only real consequences to adventuring or is this argument by hyperbole? I'll heartily agree with the last two. Demonic posession doesn't come up all that often in my game. Death (not necessarily instant) is a very real consequence in my game...

Cause Bolivia needs all the fistfuls of love we can give?

IMO (and this is a big IMO), I think the threshold for having *too* many Prestige Classes is when the writers run out of ideas and the PrC's starting looking like one another. From a game design standpoint, PrC's serve as an excellent tool of taking one of the core classes and specializing that...

Nightfall, So which PrC in Rangers and Rogues was your brainchild? Since we know all the names already, your NDA should be safe. Werner

I don't see any harm in giving numbers but specifics I cannot. I'll ask Joe if he wants (or if he wants me) to do blurbs for these two books like he did with the players guides, but the prestige classes in Termana or Asaatthi are very secondary (but no less cool) to the rest of the book(s). I...

Let me redirect with another question. We have a Monk/Sorcerer. She is high enough level and has the improved critical (unarmed) feat. She casts a touch spell like Shocking Grasp and imbues her fist to strike. Does she crit on a 19-20 a) if she decides to make a touch attack. b) if she makes...

To add numbers for you here are the quatity of upcoming prestige classes. Player's Guide to Clerics and Druids: 12 Prestige Classes Player's Guide to Rangers and Rogues: 11 Prestige Classes Player's Guide to Monks and Paladins: 11 Prestige Classes (excluding Mithril Knight) There are also a...

You're confusing a "meta-gaming" decision with an in game one. In the example above, the lich will be using every means possible to defend against the PCs. However, if save or die spells have been nerfed or made incredibly rare, then the lich wouldn't have those resources available. The issue...
