I hate to say this John, but I had to bug MY local game store to stock it! And I'm still not sure if he ordered any...

And for those that haven't seen it yet, check out the mask maker prestige class. http://www.atlas-games.com/nyambe/

I love being right! :D

I agree. There should be conditional modifiers for intimidate. The book implies there aren't. Yuck! I also think that Intimidate needs to more accurately reflect the manner of the intimidation rather than just a plain old Cha modifier. For example, a high level wizard will rarely have a...

Tsyr, I'll happily back down here... If you are using '20' equals success, then yes you need to make certain things impossible otherwise 1st-level commoners with a 3 Strength could jump 100-foot chasms. Interestingly, the Epic Level Handbook suggests changing the d20 roll to prevent automatic...

Intimidation So a low-level lone PC can't intimidate a dragon? Not even a 3HD white hatchling? Also, I don't believe a '20' is an automatic success when making a skill check. That means you are free to set extremely high DCs, and if the PCs can't reach them then they can't succeed at the...

I heard that some people in England wrote in "Jedi" on their census forms when asked for their religion, so the government decided to create a checkbox for it on the next census, but that's not the same as a "Church of the living Force". Did somone really try to create an institution? Anyone...

Let me guess - he played a hairy kender?

I seem to remember reading an interview with Lucas (sorry, no citation) where he says he put the midichlorians in the movie because he didn't want people to think he was trying to create some kind of religion, so he offered a pseudo-scientific explanation for the Force. He implied that the...

"Darklord in a can" Came from a Ravenloft game in which a character, through an incredible series of dice rolls, trapped a ghostly darklord in an item similar to an iron flask. They carried it around for a while, but couldn't leave the domain with it, so they left it at the domain border (they...

This is what I found. I note that the dates don't match up. I suspect the date in the quote is wrong. The quote also implies that maybe he was in the military, while this historical snippet implies quite the opposite. That's what I get for looking up quotes and bios on the internet instead...

"We trained hard, but it seemed that everytime we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion...

LOL! My group has almost the same story. It goes something like this: DM (me): You come across 10-foot square shack with a padlocked door. Player #1: Does it have any windows? DM: No, it doesn't have any windows. Player #2 (reading her character sheet and not listening): I wonder what's...

Minor spoilers. Best death? Years ago we were playing a silly OD&D module, Quest for the Heartstone. The big bad villain, a thief, is cornered on the edge of a cliff with the artifact the PCs need to retrieve (the heartstone natch). Luckily the thief has a flying carpet, so he hops on and...

You should list hardness and hp for all these items. Armor and shields made of bone and flesh will be a LOT easier to damage than steel, and just cries out for a fighter to sunder it.

D&D is optimized for dungeon adventuring. Wizards can't slap lots of contingent spells on themselves. If they do, they risk getting them set off by a tiny monstrous centipede or something. They can't put all those buffs on themselves when facing a fighter or risk not having any spells for the...

Since I use mage knight figs for my villians, if you could do as good or better, I would buy them.

30. Can you Sense my Motive? 31. Innuendo? How about innufronto?

The bit about humans not tending toward neutrality is on page 13. Image that! A contradition in the PH! :rolleyes:

I voted for Spelljammer. Dragonstar is D&D in space. Spelljammer was D&D in phlogiston!
