While we're on the topic: I've read the cover rules in KotS and I think I'm missing something. Am I reading it correctly that if a bad guy stands in the first square of treeline, not only do the PCs get a penalty to hit him, but he ALSO gets a penalty to fire out? Because I don't think I'm too...

Thanks.

Do I recall correctly that there was some errata up for KotS, such as a corrected half-elf? I've searched around a little and can't find it, so now I wonder if I imagined that. If there is such a thing, could someone link or otherwise direct me to find it?

Speaking as a law student: You can do all kinds of terrible things without breaking the law. It is very, very easy to abuse people under color of law, even if you're not actually a gov't official of any kind. Also, you can do terrible things within the confines of the law without being a...

That reminds me a little bit of Clive Barker's Nightbreed [the book, for the love of goddess not the movie]. In fact, if I ran them that way, they'd be pretty damned awesome. EDIT: This is a sort of weird and random question to have, but: Is there any way to get more skills? I know that INT...

So, go ahead and buy it from the B&N, open it, binge, but save your receipt. Then, buy a copy from the FLGS. Put fresh new unopened copy from FLGS into bag with receipt from B&N. Return to store. [Would that even work? Maybe if it's shrink-wrapped. I guess I don't actually know what their...

I'm getting no love at the bookstores in Topeka, KS.

I think the PCs need to know what's going on in order to play the tactical end of the game. I'm the GM, and I play hardball. I'm not going to constantly second-guess myself, as to whether or not the monsters would have figured out the mechanical function of the abilities the PCs use. The...

Somebody raised the converse of this issue earlier, which is that there's no point trying to negotiate with your employer for a higher payscale - the GM is supposed to just take it out of your total gain anyway. I dub this the Law of Karmic Treasure. You never get more or less reward than is...

Or you could go the Nobilis route (which is what I may do.) This is to say, that 20th level Wizard can make the horseshoe. Or, at least, take the iron, and make an object that will fulfill the function of a horseshoe. He does this because the mechanics say he can. Narratively, however, he is...

The question on my mind is: Is there still room for freaky wondrous items? Once the economy steps in to regulate PCs, and make sure they don't fall off of either end of the magic item treadmill, is there still room for portable holes, cubic gates, apparati of Kwalish, and the various other...

How many trained skills do the PCs have? I'm not going to ask you to give their skill lists entire, but I'd like to know the number of slots they're getting. Thanks for all you've posted.

That's pretty much what I'd do. Knock all its attacks, defenses, and MAYBE damage by two, and maybe shave off 20% of its HP.

Here's my entry.

Even if Intimidate is somewhat mechanically suboptimal, it's still a viscerally satisfying skill to use at times. I figure that has to count for something.

Kaiju, from the old Oriental Adventures books. Eventually. I know they would be, at minimum, interesting to develop for use with a tactical battlemap, but I like the idea of a wizard standing on top of a tower, throwing fireballs at something about two hundred feet high, while the rogue and...

I wouldn't class Elric out as a Wizard because, despite what a badass magician he's supposed to be, he almost never casts spells. He does stab guys a lot, though. I'd estimate him to be a very high-level fighter with Wizard MC. This works okay in 4E, because he's still going to have...

I dig the fact that there's a racial feat giving a bonus to overland movement. Not so much because the feat is awesome, but because it confirms the existence of overland movement rules, and that they're significant enough to matter. I approve of that.

The Hand of Vecna I might go all Idle Hands with it, and have it be not merely an artifact, but also a high-paragon solo lurker.

You could have made it twice as good just by leaving the pages blank.
