Well, the cost of a Crystal Echoblade (4,310 gp) is 2000 gp more than a +1 longsword. The question is how to interpret that 2000 gp. Is it a flat cost? That seems too low for me. It is a trivial addition at high levels, and high levels is when the special ability is most important. IMHO the...

The Millennial Chainmail is awesome! It's a relic, so you need to be a 7th level cleric or have True Believer or something (Corellon Larethian), but you get fast healing 3 as long as you are in brighter than shadowy illumination. A fourth level spell and a continual light to get fast healing 3...

Such consequences could take some time to develop. Especially if they involve activities off-screen. And in fact there might not be consequences for the PCs at all. e.g. the bad guys find out that the PCs no longer have the McGuffin, and so they lose interest. The good guys find another...

I really like the mechanic for handling recruitment and diplomacy in the module. I'd love to hear more about the theory behind it. In other words, what information would you need to do a similar diplomacy/group combat kind of adventure with different factions, different monsters, different...

Now that folks have had a chance to look through the MIC, what are the best values in it? The items (or enhancements) that are most useful for their cost? My favorite so far is the everbright weapon enhancement. Not so much for the 2/day blinding effect, but for making the weapon immune to...

I'll echo the free Eschew Materials for Sorcerers. Treating a natural 20 as if it were 30, and a 1 as if it were -10 is probably fairly common, too. (Sometimes it is worded like "a 20 is a +10 to the roll; a 1 is a -10 to the roll" or something).

Now when they say "shapeable" do they mean that you can move the 30 foot cubes around, or can you "deconstruct" each cube into 27 10 foot cubes (or 216 5 foot cubes) and rearrange them?

I've never heard of these ones. I don't think they should count as common, let alone very common.

Perfected vigor is kinda weird. I don't see any other kind of vigor up till that point- unless you count infernal health. But otherwise it looks very cool.

Why wouldn't you have the feat? Assuming you had a feat slot: if you take it you'll have met the prerequisites at that level. The fact that "a character can gain a feat at the same level at which he or she gains the prerequisite" means that, strictly speaking, the statement "you don't have the...

Patrons always vote for the more ambitious topic. That's the way they get the most bang for their buck.

Wait a minute. So this means that feats ignore the order of operations? How does that work, exactly? Do you check to see if the feat meets its prerequisites after you've finished leveling up? I'm wondering if, under some circumstances, you could take a feat that uses itself to satisfy its...

Would that have been as useful a reference? For each monster you'd have to decide if it was one of the ones that needed correction, or not. If it was, you'd have to look at the Cooper file- if not, you'd have to look at the SRD file. Better, I think, if you just had to look at one file.

Personally I regard Sepulchrave's take on Astaroth as canonical. But that's just the fan-boy in me talking: D&D stats here.

What fraction of recommended wealth is normally bound up in "the big six"? Half? Three quarters? 90%? It'd be nice to price up some suggested distributions of bonuses (like Kamikaze Midget's suggestion) and see what a player could do to exploit them. For instance, if their shield, save and...

I think that characters should have a level based bonus that overlaps with the bonuses of the big six. And make the items of the big six considerably more expensive. For instance, a very crude fix would be as follows: each character gains a +1 enhancement bonus to their weapon, armor, shield...

Every time I see this thread I want to say "Just put a helm of opposite alignment on them!" Seriously, though, you guys are doing damned good work.

I was going to keep quiet about this, myself. ;) I'm thinking it might be better to have an innate bonus for the "big six". A level based system that automatically applies an enhancement bonus to your stats, weapons, etc.. And thereby free up treasure for more interesting items. It'll be...

And length of year. If the planet orbited around the sun in only a month, there wouldn't be much time for the differing length of the days to make much of a difference. And similarly for a long year. As far as size of the planet goes, I'd think a smaller planet would have less extreme...

That's a standard tactic against very tough monsters. Of course I'd allow it.
