    No multiclassing penalties?

    Well actually yes. Actual Fighters have rarely multi-classed. A fair few people have added a level or two of Fighter to another class - for the BAB as much as the feats. That didn't bring the game crashing down. In my experience the PCs that are heavily multi-classed have turned out to be...

    What balances the Warforged?

    Remember that in Eberron all Warforged come from the same source: they were all created and trained by House Cannith. I imagine a pretty standardised regimen for training, at least until specialist (class) training was undertaken. So sticking to a single common language throughout follows...

    In Print Fantasy Games

    Yes, there are currently two licensed versions of Earthdawn. Living Room Games got a license from FASA to do an updated second edition of the game. It's still pretty similar to the original, just tidied up a little, and rebalanced slightly. Redbrick Limited got another license, seemingly just to...

    Everything Thieves Guilds Do

    I just wanted to say that it's very telling that immediately after Nightfall posts, Teflon Billy thinks of 'pimping'. ;) Here's to Nightfall, our resident Scarred Lands Pimp-in-Chief. :p

    Which image is better?

    I have to concur with the crowd and say A. At first I couldn't tell them apart. Then as I looked longer something about B didn't look quite right. I couldn't place it, but she looked subtly wrong. Now maybe that's the effect you are looking for, but I'd tend to the simplicity of A.

    Need PC ideas for Shackled City AP

    I'm playing a single class Human Warlock in a SCAP campaign. I've just reached Level 6 and am still enjoying the game immensely. As our Wizard is a conjurer, it falls to me to the directed ranged damage. Having fun with the right powers: wall-crawling is amusing. :)

    I'll second meomwt. Earthdawn takes a little getting sued to, but it's a system that uses archetypes with some flexibility. It has enough setting and background to get everyone on the same page, without dictating your campaign for you. And for once there is a decent balance between the power of...

    Eberron...is it worth picking -up?

    Whilst Magic of Eberron was a bit bland, I admit, I am surprised that you found fault with Faiths of Eberron. They did a solid job of developing up the major religions, and added a few more cults, which is appropriate given the setting and the immediate post-War period. I am glad that they...

    Eberron...is it worth picking -up?

    As the DM running Phlebas' game I can say honestly it's the very first campaign world that I have actually wanted to use rather than creating and running a setting of my own creation. It's a refreshing take on the D&D tropes. All the things you are used to are still there, but they are given...

    Magic Item Compendium: The Diablo II gems have made their way to D&D!

    Yup, as a gut feeling that's what I might do with these. Actually I am tempted to list the 'Minimum Magic Bonus' as an element of each one - that way I can tailor the value to each gem, which can then reflect my campaign...

    Are you special?

    Depends on the campaign. One I run, the Shattered World, the PCs are just people amongst millions. They tend to the high end of potential, but they are part of that category known as professional adventurers. In the other, an Eberron campaign, then of course they are special; the setting is...

    WotC article on Races for Martial Classes...

    Hehe! Clearly that was an old 3.0 Dwarf that never heard about his update in 3.5. Poor fellow. He probably doesn't even use a Dwarven Waraxe. :lol:

    belt of might? +1 or +2 to all scores

    Your Monk/Beguiler needs all the help he can get ;)

    The "orc baby" paladin problem

    Bravo, hong! :heh:

    How old is the Far Realm?

    I would say that that mis-characterises the Chaotic planes. They are wellsprings of Potentiality. Anything that can happen anywhere in the multiverse might come into being there. And their fabric is open to manipulation by beings that find themselves within it. The Far Realm has nothing in...

    [Eberron] The Khorvaire Code: a campaign idea

    Just throwing thoughts out. I would say that the Dragons - or rather a group of them - would have to be complicit with the Keepers. Partly because activation magics sound like they should belong to the dragons who understand the Prophecy better than anyone else. And partly because they...

    [Competition] Vote for your favourite map!

    I just wanted to add that I can understand Russ' dilemma here. And congratulate the artists for making it so hard to choose! I like virtually all of them. And even wearing my "As a DM I like simple clear maps for ease of play" there's so little to choose between them. I would say that whomever...

    Funniest DM/player faux pas

    I once described a unique monster by starting with "Imagine a wasp..." I then went on to describe the ways it was different than a wasp (size, colour, horny growths, standing on 4 legs, etc. ) I went on for about a minute, until one player piped up: "So not a wasp then?" Really I could've...

    I'm Back...Sorta

    Yes, indeed Sir, you were greatly missed. Glad to hear that you are now on the mend. Keep well!

    Going to church? Don't forget your sawed-off shotgun!

    Sorry to interject, but when and where did you LARP in Nottingham? Curious as a Nottingham resident myself.
