Scorch- I look forward to your reviews! So far, I have been a fairly mainstream Anime sort of guy, and I'm looking to broaden my Anime-watching habits. :) -A

I just recently got into the fansubbed anime scene last week, and Samurai 7 was the first series I started to watch. I have seen 3 or 4 episodes so far, and I really like it. As the guy who told me about the fansub stuff said, "I feel like playing a Warforged Samurai for some reason now." :D -A

-Not the exact same effect as +12 bracers of armor. Someone who had bracers +12 would still be able to take advantage of all the other types of AC bumps, or spells that increased AC in other ways but Armor. The proposed Monks robe is at a disadvantage, considering if someone casts a buff spell...

DM-wise, I don't mind if there is a rare bit of dice fudging. Player-wise, I don't like it at all. One time when I was a player, we had another player who was new to the group, first game with us. He had a 1st level Rogue, and I had a 3rd level battle-focussed Cleric. For SOME reason, he kept...

OOooo... :D Neat stuff! I wonder if they've bumped up the power levels of the Yugoloths for 3.5 like they did for the Demons/Devils. I certainly hope so. :) -A

Just joining the discussion- I am genuinely suprised at all the people who seem to dislike the Planescape setting. I really like the setting. I like the Planescape version of Modrons. I don't really care for the "cant"- so I don't use it. I like Diterlizzi's art. I think the content of the...

I was pretty apathetic about Eberron up until a week or two ago, but I've heard good things(good reviews, too). Just ordered the campaign book the other day, and looking forward to it. Great review!

Well, there's one benefit- it's a non-metal armor, and wouldn't be affected by stuff that affects metal, right? So no rust monster attack, heat/chill metal, etc... -A

Khayman- same here, except I voted for Planescape. :) Runners up: Ravenloft Eberron Forgotten Realms -A

Wish I had the money to pick it up this week, but local gaming conventions last weekend and this weekend quashed that idea. :( Oh well, at least I get to play lots of D&D! Can't wait to hear what people think of Doom3. -A

I really enjoy the Living Greyhawk setting. For me, the positives completely outnumber the negatives on a scale of 8:1(to throw an arbitrary number out there ;) ). Part of it may be the Regions I have played in being well managed by the triad members(Shield Lands and Highfolk). Part of it may...

Well, it was during the mid- to late 80's, right after a 60 Minutes special or something of the sort. I don't know if they were playing up the suicide or satanic angle on the show, or what. :\ My mother walks in my room and asks me straight up "What would you do if I burned all your books?"...

Yep, better of two rolls. -A

Hopefully not the case, but it does sound like another 'Paladin baiting'. :p I say no penalties, maybe a reprimand by the local law(followed by giving him a medal...). -A

We did the same thing in a game once. 4 paladins, a rogue, and me- the chaos loving Wizard. We walk into a friendly tavern. Paladins put up their "net of detect evil"- 360 degree detect evil. The bartender and a druid-y looking character show up as evil. The bar erupts into confusion as one...

I just wish they would have made such a change in the 3.5 PHB. Being able to cast most of your spells when (for instance) you are taken prisoner is a small added bonus. It would really differentiate between innate and learned spellcasting ability, methinks. Too bad for me, no house rules in...

The Cover thing is something I don't think has been answered "officially". :\ Well, the Party should learn some tactics that work against mounted combat now. :) Readying actions to disrupt his spellcasting(he can't use the mount as cover when casting, either) is one way... Also, the druid...

Consindering that one 5th level Barbarian Orc is CR5, and a challenge to the party on his own, yeah. 4 orcs might be a little overboard. :p I think that's one reason they switched the Orc's default weapon from Greataxe to Falchion- One lucky hit with a greataxe can kill low level characters...

Well, hey, he let you off easy there. Hold person only affects humanoid creatures, not Giants. How nice of him to do that. ;) I have had an experience(a rare one, thankfully) in LG, where we had a really bad DM *all day* at a convention. No one wanted to complain or anything, but next time I...

Perhaps she could just learn the rules pertaining to her class, anyway? She doesn't need to know all the grappling rules intimately if she's going to be a spellcaster, for example. Or sunder. Or disarm. Etc... Not to be blunt, but is it too much to ask her to learn some of the rules that she...
