    Scarred Lands Barbarians

    I'm thinking of making a Scarred Lands barbarian, but I don't want to make an Albadian, and I don't want to be a horseman of Vangal. Looking to this board for a list of suggestions for barbarian cultures. Scarred Lands DMs, if players are making barbarians in your game, what do you tell them...

    Does Dagger get Weapon Finesse for free?

    Hmmm... Let me try that again: Petrosian: "Read simply for what it sayd, this is saying you CAN use the weapon finesse feat for the dagger. This is not saying you GET the weapon finesse feat for the dagger. read simply what is said and don't "divine" or "derive" out of it what is not there."...

    Does Dagger get Weapon Finesse for free?

    Read simply for what it sayd, this is saying you CAN use the weapon finesse feat for the dagger. This is not saying you GET the weapon finesse feat for the dagger. read simply what is said and don't "divine" or "derive" out of it what is not there. Probably because someone decided they wated...

    Does Dagger get Weapon Finesse for free?

    I'm the munchkin in question here. (My characters are generally so un-min/max'd it's not funny.) It was a thread on EnWorld that confirmed to me my interpretation. My character has been using the dagger even though he's proficient with longswords because it fit his concept, not for the...

    Is 3e a different game than 1e/2e?

    I voted Yes, and I think it's a good thing. 20 years of rpg history, along with certain mechanisms borrowed from Champions, GURPS, and numerous other systems have finally made D&D a game worth playing. That combined with its popularity, make it my favorite system currently.

    [OT] Which Gaming Console to buy?

    Speaking of the X-box and controllers, I always thought these comics were pretty funny (don't view if certain language offends): http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2002-03-25&res=l http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2001-11-28&res=l...

    [OT] Which Gaming Console to buy?

    Are you refering to my post? I don't understand the above logic either. I agree that the PSX and PS2 have boatloads of average to horrible games, and that both of those systems have no better ratio of good to bad games than any other system. I think that the NGC and the Dreamcast probably...

    [OT] Which Gaming Console to buy?

    If you do a seach on gameranking.com for the top rated games of all time, (any platform including PC, although they don't go back to any platforms before the Playstation, and limit your search to 50 games, you'll find 12 PS2 games, 2 X-Box games, and 1 Gamecube game. The X-Box games are Halo...

    1000 things a Scarred Lands character might say

    "Gaurak's Bowels!" "May Tanil guide your path, and lay a snare for your enemies." "This place smells as foul as a Vangaurak's lair." "You're no Gravelfist, orc, so today you'll die by my hand." "You're looking more beautiful than Princess Hannatha herself today, <insert name>." "We will...

    For those who run in the Scarred Lands what is your favorite area to adventure

    Our group has been in the Mourning Marshes and SW Vesh for close to a year. We'd been making our way to Mullis Town along the Hornswythe River, but we keeping getting into trouble along the way, doing good, saving fair maidens and whatnot. ;) We have a long range plan to go to Mithril, as we...

    a very shocking missile

    Shocking Missle has been erratted. The damage is as you surmise. The duration, rather than permanent, is 1 round per spell caster level.

    Which classic adventure would you like to see republished next?

    Caverns of Thracia, put out by the Judges Guild better than 20 years ago. I went through it using TFT rules. Would love to revisit the place in D&D 3E terms. :)

    Is this party underequipped?

    I went through a Scarred Lands version of Forge of Fury, (Slithern and Wrack instead of Trogs and Black) with four characters who were better equipped than your three character party. The barbarian and the bard were killed, the paladin and rogue/ranger barely made it out alive. I've read a few...

    Relics and Rituals 2!!! I GOT IT!!! (More)

    <Well Splat books for all the CORE classes. But the arcane one is up first. It won't be out until 2003. Right now they are STILL in the process of writing/editing. But so far it's shaping up nicely to my understanding. I don't have any more info than that Voadam. The second "splat" book will...

    Firefly Discussion (Merged)

    (OT) Firefly Who watched it last night? I thought it was pretty good. I hope it can last more than a season in that time slot. If anyone can pull it off, it'll be Whedon. Looks like he's put together a good ensemble cast, but time will tell if the characters develop into something truly...

    Shocking Missle (Scarred Lands - R&R2)

    Shocking Missle seems pretty powerful at 2nd level if you have a sorcerer with a high dex and a crossbow. What do y'all think of this spell? We are using the Monte Cook alternate sorcerer from BoEM2 in our group and I'm wondering if it the sort of spell he would bump up to 3rd level...

    [OT] Favorite Band?

    One band: too difficult. Boys: The Cure, Nirvana, Bad Religion, They Might Be Giants, and Rage against the Machine Girls: Laurie Anderson, Ani DiFranco, Susan McKeown, Jane Siberry, and Sleater Kinney. Looks to me like in a world with a million tastes and a million bands, They Might Be Giants...

    RPG purchases you use(ed) regularly

    I usually just lurk, but no one had mentioned the system I began with, and that I've played the most: TFT Played and GM'd this for several years, and I'm in an online game now. In 1980, I was in middle school, and dirt 'po'. I could get into AD&D and buy a PHB, or, for the same money I could...
