    Stacking Blur and Mirror Image

    OK, good, so it's the "Mirror Images *look* Blurred, but aren't technically" second choice in my first post. That's what I figured; I just hadn't made the connection in Rules-Speak yet. Next adventure is nothing but hard-hitting giants. Been running a series agaist an alienist cult of all...

    Stacking Blur and Mirror Image

    Seems a newbie question, but here we go: If Blur and Mirror Image stack, then how? Is each Mirror Image Blurred; giving it a 20% miss chance? Does each Mirror Image merely *look* Blurred (because the target of the spell is) and the 20% miss chance only come into play when the atual target is...

    Star Wars SAGA Edition Preview in Game Trade Magazine (May 2007)

    I kinda like the idea of that. "Uh..we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine...how are you?" could very well be handled with the same "defensive mechanic" as "These aren't the droids you're looking for". Same deal, one's just amplified...

    Building a Table: Gaming Surface?

    Exactly why I haven't done it myself :) True. The first google result shows some colors muted enough to work, as well as hex tiles! Heavier, though. (My original idea is a 4x4 table that breaks apart and folds up into two 2x2 carryable pieces.) That would be completely awesome, but take a...

    Building a Table: Gaming Surface?

    I've not had the chance yet to put this idea to the test, but many wood hobby shops (online and off) sell giant bags of thin 1" squares. Get em, split them into two piles, spraypaint them colors that work for you (light beige/dark beige, perhaps) and glue em down. Slap plexiglass on top. The...

    True Sorcery: Air Lore & Controlling Tornadoes Created Thereby...

    Iron Heroes? Huh. I'll have to take a peek then. Me and the other DM in the group have been hobbling together our grand "DND The Way We Want It" to inflict on our players; I'm planning on sticking in True Sorcery (and now, it seems, a lot of SW:SAGA) I'm curious to see how much SW:SAGA's "Use...

    Star Wars SAGA Edition Preview in Game Trade Magazine (May 2007)

    Also looks like they're dropping +2 (and multipliers) in favor of +5 (and multipliers). Interesting. I wonder what the rationale was behind that? The Improved Initiative change is ... clean; with it being a skill now, it's already going up all the time - this is more meant to make sure PCs...

    True Sorcery: Air Lore & Controlling Tornadoes Created Thereby...

    Not near my books, so I can't read the rest of Air Lore, but my absolute first thought was "you don't", the "move forward" phrase means you point it in a direction and stand back. That's without recalling the rest of the Talent, though, so I may be way off base. ...and I just remembered that I...

    Star Wars SAGA Edition Preview in Game Trade Magazine (May 2007)

    Sure. 1) Scan it and send me a copy? :) 2) How are skills? How many does the Scout get, how many are trained, do they receive more trained skills later on? 3) What feats are listed that give a peek into the rules changes (2WF, special combat maneuvers, etc) 3) How do the BAB/Save...

    A Far Out Rant

    Since I'm running an adventure vs. an Alienist right now, I've given it some thought. I'm not going to make it an official proclamation, but I'll have the BBEG allude to it in this last bit of mayhem coming up next weekend. I'm running a monotheistic world right now. Where's that god from...

    A Far Out Rant

    I'm just about to finish up an adventure involving an Alienist; a heavily modified Speaker In Dreams. Now, I do not use and do somewhat dislike the strictures of the alignment system. However, I don't see any issue with defining the entities who interact with the Prime as Evil - my only...

    D&D 4E What Should 4e magic be like?

    True Sorcery. :) (It almost looks like d20 Star Wars Saga "Force Use" is going more in that direction already...)

    What do you do to make traps more interesting?

    Hm. I just ran an adventure with some traps; I was unhappy with both how I presented them and how they presented themselves. The only ones that were of any interest, really, were the ones the party couldn't get around - they avoided a Lightning Bolt trap by avoiding the door (went through the...

    Oddest builds...

    Here we go: Rogue 2/Cleric 3/Wizard 1/Fighter 1/Human Paragon 2. (the Human Paragon spellcaster levels went to Wizard) He plans to work in more Rogue/Fighter, and Mystic Theurge. It's...not bad. Practiced Spellcaster helps, as well as some substitution things from UA here and there...

    OGL: Faserip?

    The random generator got me a really cool guy once. He ended up having nearly all the "defensive" type powers, for both body and mind. Pretty much invulnerable to everything. Stats were ... average-ish. Wasn't outstanding in anything, probably was barely superhuman. Ended up modeling him...

    No multiclassing penalties?

    I believe Conan is like so: For any of your favored classes; your 1st, 5th, and 10th level in those classes net you a bonus feat. So a 10th level...Cimmerian Barbarian would have 3 extra feats from this; a 5/5 Cimmerian Barbarian/Soldier would have 2, and so on. And yea, there was a race with...

    What attracted you to D&D?

    Yea, the hot chicks. Seriously though, the old SSI computer games. Pool of Radiance, Secret of the Silver Blades, Curse of the Azure Bonds, blah blah. And, an old BASIC game played on my Heathkit Z-100 called "DND". Make a character, travel through a randomly generated dungeon, fighting single...

    [Rant] Playing Monsters Poorly

    DR is usually my bad thing. Had a fight with some low-level wererats (party 8th, rats ~2), just an introductory thing. Yea, DR/silver. Much quicker fight, eh? I reprinted my monster cards and now the DR is in HUGE BOLD FONT right next to their AC. I'll still forget it. Koewn

    Auto Upgrading Feat

    I could see his point for many feats (espc. those of the X/Improved X/Greater X variety). Caster level goes up and effects many variables, I could just as easily see "Fighter Level" (BAB) going up and eventually allowing a guy with Cleave to Cleave multiple times, then maybe move during his...
