If I had a grand to blow on RPG stuff: Necropolis, because I've been hearing some nice things about it, and because it fits in with a theme I'm building for a future campaign. Monsternomicon (dito) MMII (which isn't on my must have, but hey with a grand to blow...) BoVD, which has yet to...

There is one very good reason why a sole Demonic Ruler has not emerged. The very fact that the other demons realise; "Unholy, fiendish pancakes!! Demon X has ursurped almost enough power to rule the Abyss himself!! IF this happens, we can kiss our hairy demonic butts goodbye!" And so the rest...

Still undecided, eh Finkin Swiftfingers? Seriously, remove Evocation. Evocation doesn't really fit with your vision of the scary summoner of the dead. Dare to be different. Show the others that Evocation isn't required. Conjuration even grants you the ability to cure wounds; Summon those...

How about a complete listing of the feats? I've only heard about: Boost Spell Resistance Dark Speech Deformity X (how many different Xs are there?) Lichloved Sacrificial Mastery (a kind of skill focus) Thrall to Demon Willing Deformity (apparently prerequisite for the Deformity feats)

I voted company... Personally I think it is a synergy thing: You get a group of creative people together, they start throwing ideas around, some of them crazy, some not so crazy. There is a discussion about what should be included. A sole author is hard pressed to come up with that kind...

I would have ruled that "BURN" or "IGNITE" would be more likely to cause the target to toss the aforementioned flask at the nearest appropriate target... "FLEE" is good, as they then spend one round running away, and must spend at least that time running back... "SWIM" under those...

(green slime @ home) Hmmm... i suspected as much. I'll just say that not everyone agrees with the "Reaganites" (I use this term for lack of a better) on this analysis. But thanks for the book recommendation. I'll try to see if I can find in the library. I would argue that it wasn't the...

You sum up my feelings about the ELH very well. Indeed there are many valuable gems of inspiration in the book, it just makes the glitches so much more frustrating.

Incorrect: the wizard learns two new spells every level. And you think the wizard will not encounter any scrolls with unknown spells in 100 levels of adventuring? I'll grant you that no mention is made of specialists. Obviously an oversight. One of many. Come on now, the book is riddled with...

But the Wizard is per default allowed to learn ALL the spells available in the campaign, which the Sorcerer can only emulate by burning feats, allowing him (the sorcerer) to learn two new spells. Compare that to the wizards ability to take Improved Spellcasting to get access to a higher level...

The Druid contra the Cleric question: ========================== I feel that both the Druid and the Cleric have three rôles; Spellcaster (Healer), Item creator, Combatant. Undead zapping is really a side show, that may or may not be important in a campaign or adventure. Thing is, a cleric...

I have many "bones of contention" with the ELH. Clerics gain bonus feats every third level, while Druids are relegated to every fourth. THe Fighters gain bonus feats every second level, quickly eclipsing the Barbarian, in his forté (raging, DR), if the fighter so chooses. The slower gain in...

Hey dude, this is too easy... Stop a while and start breathing... why does everything have to be so "huge" and "gigantic"? Looking at fantastic locations; Sky-city, Underwater-city, Frozen wasteland (tundra, northpole, glacier) city, City in orbit, city on moon, city deep in earth's crust...

No kidding? I'm aware of the powers of permission. I don't need to have it explained. However, I feel that the guidelines, as they are written today, and pertaining to Epic Skill boosting Items, are too far gone to be any use at all. You are comparing the magic items to feats, which is...

Petrosian, I don't care if all skills aren't equal. That is the least of my worries. +10 to Spot or Basket weaving, I don't care. IF the PLAYER decides to invest heavily by placing skill points Basket Weaving, should his investment be negated because someone thinks it is cool and buys a ring for...

My present complaint about the skill items are two-fold: 1. The non-Epic cap placed at +30. I have only be able to find one item in the core rules that grants +30, the ring of jump. But the jump skill is a bit special. All the other skill items I found in the DMG capped at 15. I found...

Well, You could counterspell it as the caster was casting it... On one hand players don't like using it unnecessarily because it deprives them of the goodies the badies are carrying... Wouldn't the baddies usually think in the same fashion? A bit of arrogance and all that? But if you really...

You have cheese armour in your campaign? Can I get that in cheddar? how about Blue? The perfect armour for a quick dungeon delve; you don't have to carry your lunch in your backpack; You wear it! Great for those adventures where you run off to save the princess before having a proper...

Well, with the equivalent of a 49 point buy, This character still sucks. Even at 3rd level you still have to burn ability points to get off one Mind Blast. At third level your BAB is +1, with your Str 13, that makes it +2... ummm you aren't going to be hitting anything soon this week. Combine...
