Good weekend all, I'm in a debate at the moment about spellcaster balance, and am attempting to back up my assertion that clerics are by far the most powerful class in the game. I want to be rock-solid with my proof, however, so I wanted to solicit the opinions from the living database. The...

After reading through the torrent of glowing reviews, I trundled on out to the nearest B&N with an eye towards picking it up. I grabbed the copy, sat down in a comfy chair, read for an hour, then put it back. It had utterly failed to spark any excitement. Thing is, I don't understand why. On...

Empathic Transfer is pretty sufficient for healing either between battles (preferably) or in a real tight spot. You can get someone on their feet just as fast as a Cleric, albiet at the hefty price of doing harm to yourself. Naturally, anyone with that power should also have a decent...

Nope. The only released errata involved a couple typos and a missing paragraph for longer-duration Dominate. They said that they're working on a better errata list to be released in the near future.

Hey folks, I happened to think today, 'Hey, what happens if a mage tries to Disintegrate someone's sword? It's a ray and all, so by all accounts it shouldn't be hard to target an item...' So I searched around in the rules. The only thing I could find was a discussion of melee-range Sunder...

I'd be willing to put my 3.0 14th level Wizard against any psion, any day of the week. The 3.5 shift would reduce his power somewhat, but from what I recall, it wouldn't be a significant amount; most of his spells that I looked up were untouched. He was a walking death machine, able to raise...

D'oh, I'd utterly forgotten Harvest Moon, that was a good idea. As for the Breath of Fire series... eh. Fans of the series could get them and be happy with nostalgia, but I wasn't at all impressed when I played them. The first one especially is pretty wretched by today's standards, and the...

One thing to bear in mind is that, as of my time playing it shortly after release, DAoC's atmosphere is as bland as cardboard compared to EQ's. Walk around and get tree, rock, tree, hill, tree, rock, more trees, and just replace trees with mushrooms for Hibernia and with more rocks for Midgard...

The GBA has the world's best turn-based strategy collection, hands down. But unfortunately it's a little lacking in truly excellent RPGs. Your daughter was right to call Golden Sun only 'okay', it was pretty simplistic despite great graphics and sound. Sword of Mana is an updated version of...

I have a story to tell. It is a long story, a wretched story, and, ultimately, a sad story. There are several D&D games being run in the local area amongst a fairly large group of people. Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms campaigns switch off on Tuesdays, and a Planescape game happens once or...

Rpg.net has been quicker than I'd anticipated in posting my review, so I'm putting the link here. Anyone interested in it should head over there and support the great people who host such a good resource of gaming reviews. Here's the link.

I prefer the Oathsworn's DR-beating powers to the Monk's, personally. Beating half their level worth of DR points on a normal attack or beating their full level worth of DR points on a single attack should be ample for dealing with creatures that they'll be running across of the appropriate CR...

Just one thing about the thread title, it's AU, not UA. That still trips me up from time to time, too.

Big Arcana Unearthed review Found here. It should be up on rpg.net sometime next week, but for impatient people who want everything nownowNOW, here 'tis.

...for a 6th level ranger loup-garou. (A bigger, nastier werewolf for the Ravenloft setting.) I want it to be a good challenge for an 11th level party, and am taking advantage of its large hybrid form to have it dual-wielding a greatsword and a longsword, which should make a good dent in some...

I am not impressed with NWN. Using the 3E system is all well and good in theory, but in practice it possesses several drawbacks when put into a real-time computer format. First and foremost are AOEs; since you can't control combat so precisely as you can in the turn-based game, you wind up...

Don't forget telegrams, they're hefty at about fifteen bucks, but they get there well within the necessary time frame.

They're destroying the sets, folks, there is NO chance of another network picking it up if it gets killed. The stand must be made now if it's to succeed. You can get contact information for letters here.

Oh, sonuva... I didn't check high enough on the forum tree, thought this was the most appropriate forum. Apologies for that. At least the Farscape game's a d20 system release, helps keep me but so embarrassed.

Sci-Fi is canning the series at the end of the fourth season, and are apparently planning to destroy the sets in one week. There is very, very little time for fans to save the show, so any action needs to be taken immediately. This bulletin board has all the details. It has the chat...
