    Races of Faerun... ummm.. yawn?

    That's the theory I saw confirmed on Realms-L. I forget by whom. I don't currently run a game in Faerun, but I will buy this book, as like the FRCS and MoF it looks to have a large amount of quality content I can steal from. I'm also interested to see if they give the Forest Gnome an ECL.

    Least favorite Prc

    It's made for creating an incredibly recurring villian. The ethereal and ghost walking abilities give the Ghostwalker an assured escape route, or an easy way to break into the party's homes. The massive bonust to hit, damage, and AC are just icing on the cake. As a DM I *love* this class.

    Occult Killings and Tarot Cards ...

    When people ask these questions, I prefer to just do a brainstorm dump. Hope you don't mind a lot of possibilites. 1) What would the killers motive(s) be? Do you just want one killer or have this be a dark cabal? The symbolic importance of killing along the path of the tarot, would indicate...

    A gniche for gnomes?

    Huzzah! Down with techno-gnomes. Gnomes in my campaign are deeply religious, but still touched with magic. They are the people the party goes to when they need an answer to a question.

    Can you layer weapon enchantments?

    Where is the rule where flame and frost negate each other? It seems logical from a physics stand point, however having a longspear with two ribbons of energy: one blue, one red entwined along its length like a barber pole would work in my campaign.

    Sunder -- The most useful useless feat

    I love sunder. Why I use sunder on my players: It keeps a character from being defined by a piece of equipment. With all of the new enchantments available to magic weapons, armor, and items it's very easy to design a character around a single item. This creates very boring characters, and...

    Tracy Hickman has a point...

    I know what you mean. You're just like my DM. Here is a picture of him: I hope people can appreciate that this photo is placed in jest of the debate. I just wanted to remind people what a picture of a known terrorist looks like.

    Dragon 300 a bad idea

    Nevermind. I feel stupid. I feed the troll. Time to exit the conversation.

    Tracy Hickman's view of the Dragon #300 sealed section

    Please. I'll let the moderators decide where this should go. Dragon has always had pulpy headlines. This should be no surprise to anyone. This is also the Halloween issue. People are surprised that it deals with dark matters? Is the Book of Vile Darkness going to tarnish the image and...

    Dragon 300 a bad idea

    Like genocide? Or perhaps eradicating a village or Orcs or Kobolds?

    Dragon 300 a bad idea

    You are wise ForceUser, and you have a great storyhour. Reading the spell descriptions in the most recent Dragon inspired me to creat a paladin. I haven't wanted to play a paladin in about 12 years. I tends toward moral relativism, and don't believe that any self aware race can be truly...

    Holy crud! Divine Might is now a free action!

    The question I have now is that should any of the others be free actions too?

    How does Advancement really work?

    Challenge Rating: Increasing intelligence is important, but class levels will overlap with this. Take the base worg CR then add it's class levels to determine its total CR. Ability Increase: I would recommend rolling stats for the worg, just like you would an important NPC. Stat adjustments...

    The leadership Feat

    Generally, I extract the followers from standard play. They can be used to support the players base of operations, or merchant fleet. Cohorts are another thing entirely. I let the players play them in combat and what not. But I can as a DM speak through the cohorts at any time...

    Sealed Pages in Dragon--Contents inside!

    What you're also forgetting the Charnel Houses of Europe: The Shoah, written for Wraith was also published under Black Dog. This book is truly adult. It tackles an adult, complex view of the holocaust, and does an incredible job of it. Not a single picture, paragraphy, or dot of ink of it is...

    Tricky Cleric/Mage

    Yet another option. If you don't think Clio should be in combat, then choose a less combative class. I would strongly, recommed picking up some levels in bard. You can sing when you run out of spell, and still aid your party. The skill selection will help Clio out in RP issues, and the...

    Looking for a few German one liners

    Just checked my German grammar cheat sheet, and my memory was wrong. Alles in ordnung. And FYI nouns, and adjectives are declined. Verbs are conjugated.

    Looking for a few German one liners

    The 'beschissene' adjective is not in agreement with the masculine and neuter nouns.* Is it correct to assume that since it is slang, nobody cares if the grammar is correct ? * My German is terribly rusty, so I might be totally wrong here.

    RE: White Wolf being a minor company In addition, at the nadir of TSR, I believe White Wolf was making more money or was at least a sizable rival.
