Hello Everyone, Isn't there a feat (or feats) out there that lets you designate any skill as a class skill? I wanted to make Diplomacy a class skill for a swordsage (from Book of 9 Swords), and I thought the feat I was thinking of was in Complete Adventurer, but I couldn't find it. I know...

#552. I ordered mine on 2006-04-18 and it arrived in Metro. Detroit, MI, USA on 2006-08-08. There was some minor cover damage, but oddly it was NOT the corners. The first thing I looked at were the corners, and I was relieved to see no damage. Then someone I was standing next to said, "The...

An episode from DS9 that truly moved me was the one where Ben Sisko is caught in some sort of accident that causes him to leap forward in time over and over, each time seeing his son Jake a number of years older. Jake devotes his life to trying to save his father from the accident. Ben sees...

When I was first consulting a doctor about getting my LASIK surgery he brought up an interesting point. If you are putting contact lenses in your eyes all the time, you significantly increase the risk for infections, which sometimes can result in severe complications (e.g. vision loss). If you...

My Experience I had LASIK surgery done at the end of April, and I now have better than perfect vision (20:15). The surgeon I used is extremely qualified; if I remember my numbers correctly he performs over 2000 surgeries per year and has been in the field for 20+ years. So, my first piece of...

Let's find out. One...two...three.... <<CRUNCH>> Three.

Online Book-Seller in Disguise.... Did anyone else think Amazon Prime was some heretofor overlooked Autobot the first time he or she read the words "Amazon Prime?" Later, Atavar ----- "Wisdom is the difference between knowledge and experience." Lt. Cmd. Data

I was wondering if anyone would notice my (intentional) faux-pas.... :)

Makes out-of-the-blue comment that Captain James Tiberius Kirk was the BEST captain out of any incarnation of Star Wars.

Too Many, but With a Purpose Hey there, In one sense I do have too many RPG books. I have many, many old D&D items (e.g. the various boxed rule sets, the GAZ series of gazateers, the BA, EX, etc. adventure modules). I rarely look at these anymore, and I guess I keep them more out of...

Buy Stock in Dragon Minis Now! Hello All, Did anyone else notice the rather large increase in price for the Gargantuan Black Dragon and Colossal Red Dragon minis? The black dragon went from the originally-advertised price of $24.95 to $29.95 (about a 20% increase...not TOO bad, I suppose)...

No, I don't think elves are broken. Their longevity (or that of any other race) isn't my point. I also think that that the "more characters die from adventuring than from old age, so it makes no difference" argument is purely a metagame, crunch argument. I've already ceded that, from a game...

I understand that the immortality described for this prestige class seems to have little to no game mechanic impact. So, I supposed in the sense that "broken" is usually used, it is not broken. I guess there's just something about a PC being able to live forever simply by reaching 12th level...

Hello Everyone, Did anyone else's jaw drop when reading the incantifier prestige class in the latest Dragon magazine (the one with Planescape's Lady of Pain on the cover)? One of the first-level abilities of that class results in the character no longer suffering from the negative effects of...

Wikis? Hello fellow gamers, Forgive my ignorance, but what are wikis? Thanks, Atavar ----- "I walk slowly, but I never walk backward." -- Abraham Lincoln

Star Trek Quote? So, Flexor, did you get a chance to watch that Star Trek episode and get Kirk's exact quote? What was it? Thanks, Atavar

God in Star Trek Hello Everyone, Just a quick comment on earlier posts about the lack of God in Star Trek. I don't know what Gene Roddenberry's personal belief's were, but if you look closely enough there is an occasional reference to God here and there. What comes to mind for me is that...

Hello Everyone, I plan to run Paizo's "Shackled City Adventure Path" for my players, and they've expressed interet in setting it in Eberron. Are there any online resources with tips, etc., on how best to incorporate the Shackled City campaign into the Eberron setting? If so, where may I find...

Hello Everyone, Does anyone else feel a little tired of the word "cinematic?" Ever since I remember Eberron being announced to the public, one of the most-used words to describe it is "cinematic." Now, it's a fine word. I hear it in other contexts. For me, it brings to mind such things as...

Thanks Thanks, FireLance, for your input! I agree that at present it's short on flavor. I've concentrated more on crunch and less on fluff so far. I too look for good hooks in other prestige classes, though. At present my "flavor" is mostly a brief explanation on the core idea of the...
