I'm all in favor of starting the 6-week reading period at the beginning of the current discussion. I would also recommend that whoever is choosing the next book to announce it as soon as they decide, rather than waiting until the beginning of the reading period.

DragonballZ and similar anime. I just don't get it. Not only is there no plot that I can determine, but it's the most boringly slow 'action' cartoon I've ever seen. I also don't really get the Mafia genre. Nor do I get westerns.

I would personally use Mutants and Masterminds rather than D20 modern, so players could create anything under the sun and still be balanced with each other. But if using D20 modern, use anything that can possibly be shoehorned into D20 modern. If you want to buy Urban Arcana anyway, it would...

There's nothing that I will buy sight unseen, but will probably buy Unearthed Arcana and the revised Psi book. Eberron looks promising, and if it continues to pique my interest, I will probably buy it.

If you're going to STL for those, sign me up. My email's in my profile.

As I see it, there are three types of creativity here. 1) Dramatic creativity, 2) Creative problem solving, and 3) Rule-manipulating creativity. I love the first two, but restrict the latter. One of my favorite creative moments as a player was ultimately unsuccessful, but I'm glad my DM let me...

I've been looking forward to this issue ever since I heard of it. Hopefully Paizo will make classic settings a regular feature of Dragon, or at least devote an issue to it once per year, like October is devoted to horror.

Remember that you don't get credit until their orders actually ship.

I may be misunderstanding the process then, because the Atkins diet involves eating a lot more calories than most diets, precisely to avoid a lowering of the metabolic rate. It certainly does involve a shifting to a fat-burning metabolism, but the overall metabolic rate is essentially...

My assumption detector is going off, so I have to jump in here. :D These arguments are a bit spurious. There is no cutoff at which something ceases to be a fad and becomes long lasting. Only hindsight can determine what was and what was not a fad. When the U.S. shifted from stressing "...

I would prefer it to be fully compatible with 3.5, so the 3.5 paladin could theoretically be created with it. It's probably not much more work, just a matter of delaying some of the abilities by a level or two.

Knee-jerk response: It's going to suck wet farts out of dead pidgeons. Rational, well thought out logical response: It's probably going to suck wet farts out of dead pidgeons. :D This is based on every single other Alan Moore adaptation, and Hollywood's track record in general.

While as I mentioned above that I dislike having to prepare spells for high level casters, I do agree that wizards are better at epic levels than sorcerers. The extra spells/day that sorcerers get become somewhat irrelevant, since by epic levels wizards will already have far more spells/day...

double post.

I have mixed feelings. I prefer Int as a casting stat and like having a broad repetoire, but at extremely high levels I find having to prepare spells extremly annoying. Instead of having to look at a list of over 50 spells to see if I have a certain spell prepared, I would rather just remember...

I though it might be interesting to resurrect this thread, since the Complete Warrior makes duelists a much more attractive option. Elven Swashbucker 3 / Barbarian 2 / Monk 2 / Duelist 4 - Yes I know this is weird for alignment reasons, but you did say you wanted to min-max. Assume he...

Your friend is on crack. :D From the SRD: Precise Strike (Ex): At 5th level, a duelist gains the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, gaining an extra 1d6 damage added to her normal damage roll. Nowhere in there does it say anything about it taking extra...

One simple piece of advice: Never, under any circumstances, use margarine. Many people are under the delusion that it's healthier than butter. They couldn't be more wrong. Hydrogenated oils (AKA trans-fats) have been consistently shown, in study after study, to dramatically increase the risk...

I wouldn't give them any special bonuses for their stats, but I would let them reroll if what they rolled was substandard. I would also make all characters spend their a 1st level feat on Endurance, and make spellcaster spend a feat on Skill Focus (concentration).

I would make more sense to me to replace the mandatory EWP(Katana) and TWF feats with several "fighting styles", like what was done with the ranger. That way a samurai could focus on fighting with one katana in both hands, daisho, or even bows. Or you could just do what many many people will...
