    Elder Earth Elementals are BRUTAL!!!

    Thats where they screwed up first. If you get ambushed and you can, run. Don't try to fight it out, even if it's only 2 Kobolds, just run. In as safe a withdrawl as possible, but a withdrawl nonetheless. An ambush begins with you re-acting to an opponents initiative, the definition of when...

    Please rate Augment Summoning

    Exactlly and celebrim makes some good points as well. Basically a 'duct tape' feat to shut up the Summoner lovers when they realize their speciallty sucks.

    The first level abilities are kick-ass, after that it goes downhill quickly.

    Chicago ENWorldians--what are you doing Sunday, 3/30 night?

    The group i'm in plays Sundays 6-10 in Aurora, about 1/2 north of Chicago. We just started a Spycraft serial. Actually it starts that Sunday but yesterday we had a short prelude (other player absences). I'm pretty sure we could fit you in if you wanna come. I'll ask the GC to make sure...

    Shotgun Houserules...

    Other than the attacking 2 adjacent opponents it sounds good though. In a more cinematic game how about allowing the attack two opponents rule, but up DR or something? Here's an idea, how about just using the grenade rules (blast pattern)? Blast is centered on wher eyou aim, within a very...

    Great barbarian quotes

    The dwarf fighter from Record of Lodoss War. Excellent anime, the very essence of D&D. There are some good quotes in some old Cerebus phone books I have around, i'll try and dig them up later...

    What do you think of errated Spell Thematics?

    Great idea, it's now on my House Rules list. Merlion; your idea in effect makes Signature Spell weaker than it already is. Arcaners already have a dearth of better feats, feats that they'll use in nearly every encounter. Even a Sig Spell: Limited Wish (most bang-for-buck Sig spell by far)...

    What do you think of errated Spell Thematics?

    I voted it 'average' bacause it is mechanically an average feat. There are much better choices for a powerfull wizard. However as a theme feat it is Ecellent/Outstanding! In any regular non-min/max-required game (such as my RttToEE game) i always seriouslly consider taking this feat. Haven't...

    Groovy! Eden to do Army of Darkness RPG!!!

    Ya know, i'm wondering, is there any reasion AoD couldn't just use a modified Call of Cthulu rules set? I'm not overly familiar with CoC though......

    Two Weapon Fighting

    Sorry, i wasn't entirely clear. I meant that at low levels AC is usually high enough that even fighters are only hiting on a 18, 19, 20 or thereabouts. Rogues keep up by flanking (+2 hit) and the SA damage. More later, gotta run out shopping :(

    Two Weapon Fighting

    Heh, your example is so flawed it funny :D First you assume that the TW guy hits both times, at his lower BAB. You also assume that they have a 14 Str? As a primary fighter? I've never seen that unless its a ranger who needs Dex because of crappy AC. Also at low levels can be marginaly...

    Two Weapon Fighting

    At the cost of yet another feat, and a completely crappy one at that. There is a reason Twin Sword Style is called the "Two Point Expertise". Sorry but it sounds that your player has taken some of the weakest feats in the game in supporting his roleplaying style, you can't still can't deal...

    Please rate Arcane Defense

    See Spycraft for a whole collection of feats that both add flavour AND are usefull to a character. Yes, both can exist together. Arcane Defense sucks arse. I can't think of a single adventure or module where even Toughness wouldn't be better.

    Two Weapon Fighting

    Same here. In D&D two weapon fighting is NOT worth -2 to hit, two feats, losing shield bonus, plus having to find 2 magic weapons, etc. All the games i've played in made Ambidex and TWF one feat, and it still sucks unless you have Sneak Attack dice. In a modern game it's almost worth 2...

    Yeah, it's been clarified all over the WotC OA boards. Try doing a search there, it might even be in the FAQ. The table 6-2 is a suggestion of feats and skills that match stylisticlly. The Prerequisites in the text are the feats and skills you need to gain the mechanical Benefits. Table 6-2...
