If one really wanted to use a piece of PI, couldn't one simply ask for permission? Though most folks are polite enough to give a heads-up that OGC is about to be used, it's no guarantee that a heads-up will be given. What's the big deal about designating something PI rather than OGC?

Certain creature types (constructs, elementals, oozes, outsiders, plants, undead) do not sleep (or do not need to sleep). Constructs are specifically not subject to fatigue or exhausion, while undead are immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (including fatigue and exhaustion). For...

A Flame Blade is immaterial, so one's Str modifier does not apply to the damage. It is a spell, and thus the special notes on two-handed weapon usage or Light weapon usage do not seem to apply. It requires a melee attack roll in order to deal damage, but the melee attack roll is actually a melee...

When asked later, the PC who shot the newborn admitted that the baby seemed a softer target when compared to the cult leader or the artifact we were hired to destroy, even though he wasn't quite sure what was going on. My character certainly wasn't aware of the big picture (doom for the world)...

I, too, would love to read about a combat as it occurs rather than after the fact, but I understand that these events happened oh-so-many months ago. My only complaint is the use of FR gods in an otherwise exciting homebrew setting. I love Sep's story because it features an atypical...

I guess I'll chime in at this point because I just joined this group of adventurers. We're playing AU, so no alignments. To my knowledge, this group has never given quarter (bandits in Ebonring Keep). Prior to this incident, they've killed a newborn and massacred two dozen unarmed cultists...

That post was fantastic. Poor Pori -- he came back even though he knew who was calling him, all for the sake of delivering one message. I feel like I'm reading about bothans being sacrificed for the sake of the rebellion, except that I love this SH and despise what SW has become!

Nice! Very different from your hand-drawn but computer-colored artwork, but they're great!

What an AWESOME update. That Bigby: such a rat bastard! I can't believe he convinced everyone to take off their armor. That Destan: such a rat bastard! I can't believe he successfully distracted the PCs with a panicked woman and caused them to fritter away precious time! Bravo!

You'd get a more detailed answer on the Malhavoc forums, but the first thing that appealed to me about spell templates is the balance of power and flexibility. Unlike wizards and metamagic, you can choose to apply spell templates when you cast the spell. Unlike standard feats, spell templates...

Bah! Who is Destan, really? George RR Martin? ;) Shortly after a sympathetic character is introduced... *WHACK* Dead. Just kidding Destan. Grats on the baby! And now, more baby-soul goodness, please!

There is a Sepulchrave! Go Nwm!

That's a good observation. Our party has lost so many characters that there's quite a gap in our abilities. We currently have five players, and we definitely encourage folks to "play what they want". We have a non-combative greenbond (healer). We have a nuker magister (mage). We have an...

What should be the CR of a 10th level monk without equipment? How about a paladin? How should templates affect the CR? I think I should drop the CR of the monk (or any other "self-sufficient" type) by a third (to 7) and the paladin (or any equipment-dependent type) by a half (to 5). I think...

Wulf, I am willing to pay retail price directly from a publisher (because it's convenient), and certainly don't expect everyone to offer products in both print and PDF. However, Baraendur predicts that retailers will stock products less and less -- any [diplomatic] reactions to this prediction...

Probably not dead and buried, but in my case definitely boxed and in storage. I'm currently playing AU, but won't annoy you with a continuing public display of affection for it.

Fantastic! Destan, I can't tell you how happy I am to see an actual update, after your posts in the Rogues Gallery. Well done, Kellus and Amelyssan!

Baraendur's prediction (that retailers will no longer stock RPGs) is quite interesting. I've not visited an actual gaming store in years, mainly because I don't have the time. Instead, I purchase products in PDF when available (Malhavoc, Game Mechanics, ENPublishing, Expeditious Retreat) or...

I'll note that mounted heroes in Asian history/mythology often fight with spears and glaives (yari and naginata). :)

Most things go poof in an antimagic shell. Grapple him with a warrior and spank him hard.
