Ooh, I never got ahold of Ultimate Toolbox.... just when I thought my book encumbrance was going to go down

It looks like it'll be able to replace my copy of AEG's D20 Toolbox, which was my only non-Paizo "must have book" to tote around with materials. Toolbox still has a lot more tables, so that might be an overstatement, but the tables for generating NPCs are stellar, or figuring out what a random...

I'm actually a fan of a campaign setting where I can communicate with the wide range of players at my table and draw real-Earth comparables. Being able to tell a novice player "Mwangi is like Africa" makes it easier for their minds to grok the world, and focus on their characters and the...

You know I'm really wondering how they keep the series going into subsequent seasons. I really expected a lot of the coupling (and subsequent ending of said coupling) to take multiple seasons to build up and resolve, or some of their relationships to at least stretch a couple episodes longer...

We've only played maybe 6 sessions of PFRPG since it was released.. here's our mileage: Skill system overhaul = great. We had too much table angst over missed math on skill synergies and dealing with exactly how many pts should go in Tumble vs Balance. Maybe this saves us 10 minutes a session...

Maybe Wizards is just really, really clever and they will release a steady stream of Greyhawk support, but all in digital format, thus forcing me to subscribe to digital content when I never thought I ever would, because, heck, I'm a sucker and would do anything to get my hands on quality GH...

About 6 months ago, we had a similar encounter. I actually remember it somewhat well. The dwarf fighter ran up and taunted the ogre. I remember he had 16HP (10+3Con+3Toughness). I'm thinking his AC was 10+4+2+1+4 (21) for the fight, plus he fought defensively taking it up to 23. The ogre...

Nope and nope. Tome had the Cave Fisher (a oldschool favorite) and Echohawk's list was very extensive but no Cavelings yet! Its not a big deal but I figured there must be some "official" reproduction of them by now!

I just spend about 15-20 minutes Googling and searching through a few books... is anyone aware of any 3e/3.5e or D20 material that updates 1e's Cavelings (introduced in A2 Slaver Stockade module). Thanks in advance!

I use almost these exact same rules for squeezing characters into 5ft squares. It's pretty common in my group these days for 2 warrior types to squeeze into a single square facing a monster and take the -2 to hit. With their sick to hit bonuses, combined with spells that augment to hit...

Checked... Deities & Demigods, Stronghold Builders Guidebook, Minis Handbook, Book of Vile Darkness, Book of Exalted Deeds, Book of Challenges, Arms & Equipment, Epic Level Handbook, Enemies & Allies... No dice. She popped up in Book of Challenges and Stronghold Builders, but not with any...

Well.. releasing an MM with only a half dozen classed monsters with cool names (like Arcane Guards and Dark Snupers) gives you solid identifiable options for collectable miniatures ;) A book with 200 statblocks would dilute the odds of customers identifying something as rememberable in an...

Hasn't the book always been about half price at Amazon (~$18 when list is almost $30)? This isn't really any different than the PHB (~$19 when list is almost $30)... I'd think it's just books going through their normal course in life...

I'd vote that it depends on the bigger picture. If the paladin is question has led a full career in the service of his God, was near retirement and his last heroic action would be remembered and used as an inspiration to all other followers of the god, so his value at this point is higher with...

Off the top of my head I can remember 3 stirge encounters that our group has seen that are in printed modules. [SPOILERS BELOW] Dungeon Magazine #15 - Roarwater Caves The party had just spotted the army of kobolds heading towards the xvart lair, and remembering a sealed tunnel that led to...

I agree... I'm hoping Wee Jas wins Survivor, she's at least an interesting deity that skirts the edge of good and evil (like all real deities should!) I voted off Heironeous even though it looks like Oli or Moradin will get the boot this round...

Awesome to see all the replies in this thread... My original question was less about the saving throw bonus - Skip's response there is pretty good as a guideline IMO. After reading these replies and thinking on the matter, I'm curious how Charm Person scenes have played out for folks, more on...

Quick question for folks on Charm Person... Charm Person includes verbal & somatic parts... so when you cast it on someone, they can definately tell you are casting a spell, and with a spellcraft check can even tell that you are trying to charm them with a spell. I haven't seen any mention of...

In case others are planning to hunt these down (I did)... the issues are: Dragon 184 for the 7 sentence NPC. It was reproduced in Dragon Compendium (minus the stellar examples in issue 184). Dragon 277 for Hickman's How to Play D&D... this article is pretty damn good to convince your players...

Norebo! God of Gamblers baby!
