You can only use "small" sized weapons without penalty. If you use a weapon that's sized medium, you take a -2 to attack and the weapon gets bumped up. For instance, a medium shortsword would become a two handed weapon instead of one handed. A medium dagger would be one-handed instead of a...

There's a PRC in the Forgotten Realms book "Champions of Ruin". I can't remember the name, but it's for what's basically an elven "sniper". Might be worth checking out. You could probably adapt it to make it less "elf-y" if you like the rest of the class.

I'm of the same opinion. Originally, I thought it looked pretty nifty. At second glance, in most situations I'd prefer to keep the x level spell over the Arcane Strike damage. Maybe blowing a high level spell and using Arcane Strike in conjunction with Whirlwind Attack would be nice, but then...

I'm impatient too. :) I did, in fact, get an email yesterday. It was kind of vague and I didn't realize what it was until I saw that the email address was for one of the guys who works at WW. Until I saw that, I knew *something* was being shipped to me, just didn't know what.

It sounds like your group either has a short attention span, a HUGE powergamer streak or a bit of both. There are some classes from PHB II (the Duskblade), Complete Adventurer (Scout) and Heroes of Horror (Dread Necromancer) that I'd like to play in our existing campaign. Since I'm already...

Suppose I'll give them a call over my lunch break. I'm hoping they didn't lose or otherwise mess up my order.

Has anyone rec'd a copy from WW yet? I ordered mine ages ago, and still nothing.

I'm not familiar with Savage Worlds at all. So, it's a rule set? Why don't you like using it?

I like Barbarian/Sorceror going in to Rage Mage PRC with a dash of Practised Spellcaster feat to help out with your casting.

I'm not a lawyer yet either, and I most likely never will be but I do think you're pretty much correct. I believe Conan, Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn and Red Sonya are trademarked by Paradox Entertainment. At least some of REH's earlier stories *may* be PD, but at least as of a few years ago...

I agree that Half Orcs really got The Shaft™. Sean K Reynolds has something on his site that outlines his house rules. He gives them Weapon Fam., drops the Charisma penalty and gives a -1 to Diplomacy, Gather Info and Handle Animal checks. IMO, it's really a bummer that you can't have a...

That's awesome! So glad to see Temporality it print. I was holding off on getting the PDF since I really wanted to have a print version of this and Behind the Spells. As for "Dragons of Autumn", you can add that to the list of things I want to run/play that we don't have time for. ;) I'll...

Wow, that's awesome. I got goosebumps when I saw that art. If that's any indication, they've definitely got the "feel" of Solomon Kane. I don't really know much about Pinnacle or the authors involved. I'm hoping they do the material justice.

I really think "Red Hand of Doom" is going to be my best value for the money product. We haven't started playing yet (started at first level, playing a Goodman Games adventure) but having read the book, I think we're going to get many, many sessions of fun out of RHoD. Maps are excellent...

How about some sort of graft of a zombie arm, or something like that? Some kind of animal or monster limb? There are graft rules somewhere...Eberron, perhaps? Maybe it's because I just read "Perdido Street Station", but I'm a big fan of weird limbs grafted on to humanoids. :D

Verra's pretty cheeky, too! I can also second Glen Cook's "Black Company" series. It's an interesting mix of "high level" characters and low-level military stuff. The actual members of the Black Company are fairly "low level", but the Taken and Friends unleash some magical butt-kicking pretty...

Hey, that's me! :) I've found the responses to this thread very helpful. Knowing that many companies plan releases around GenCon, it's nice to have a thread where I can look at all the cool stuff coming out and decide how to spend twice my normal gaming budget this month. ;) I can't buy...

Ah, good stuff. This is definitely on my "must have" list. $50 for Crisis, Creatures and the 5 Year Anniv. book (that's convert to 3.5, right?) seems like a good deal too. Creatures is the only old Freeport product I don't have.

It's worth noting that someone with enough money can also make sure that death is much more than an inconvenience.

Definitely. Morrolan, Aliera, the Necromancer, Sethra Lavode, Vlad Taltos (although I think the multiclassing has lead to a suboptimal build) are all what I'd translate in to a high level D&D character. I'd probably say that Sethra and the Necromancer are probably Epic. There are weapons that...
