I agree with Truthseeker regarding the Skarn. Andromeda was the first thing I thought of when I saw their entry. Visually, I like the skarn with their spines and the idea of being able to fold them flush to their skin, but I think they should have gone a little bit more alien-like or...

What are the new classes? I know the names are Incarnate, Soulborn, and Totemist. But, do they have any new, unique abilities or flavor besides the use of incarnum? How do they rate against the other classes? Do they provide a unique flavor to them or are they more like the totemist in the...

Then, why make the statement? It seems counter-intuitive to your point as it removes any justification for even having a psionics system as well as a ki system. Agreed. I think a statement of yours applies to how I feel about this point - "That's your view. Mine differs." Do you feel the same...

See below. I don't see any cherry picking going on. I am talking about both flavor and game mechanics. Going by that logic, you could say the same of the magic system in 3.x, psionics, AE magic, or any other group of game mechanics that simulate "magical effects" that are otherwise unavailable...

I just knew I was going to get lynched as soon as I bit that first carrot about psionics. :p What you state right here isn't strictly psionics either according to the Expanded Psionics Handbook. Those internal projected energies are just as easily a form of magic. To be precise, I never...

No, it isn't. Not at all.

This product now appeals to me less and less with every preview and interview they put out. The concept and mechanics are certainly interesting, but I was hoping for something that could be altered to represent an original d20 mechanic for ki use. This is not at all what I was hoping for. I...

Well, the preview almost ruined it for me because of the mechanices which do not appeal to me, but I am still looking forward to it because of the impression of the flavor I get. The preview showed us more feats for increasing the power of undead turning, sneak attacks, mind blades, etc. Those...

Yeah, the ancient art of Chinese foot-binding is alive and well in those Rob Liefield drawings.

Am I the only one who wants to see more from Wayne A. Reynolds and more black and white stuff by Jennifer Meyer? I would also like to see Joe Mad get into doing more. That piece he did for Races of Eberron is one of my favorites.

I voted for Oriental Adventures and Al Qadim. I have no interest in Faerun or Epic rules. The other stuff I could leave or take depending on what we are playing. But, I would most likely leave them.

I just remembered one: When playing a Berserker during an Iron Heroes game on Saturday night I was practically chanting "Hit me!" whenever the DM rolled his attacks against me. However, whenever he rolled a natural 20 against me (which was far too often) my chant changed to, "I said HIT me...

Actually there was an expletive used in that sentence when I yelled it at 3am Saturday morning. "Just throw the damn chicken!"

Same here. It was great to meet and greet some folks from both Monte's boards and here at ENWorld. I have a bad memory for names and considering that most everyone here has essentially two names please forgive me if I don't list you, but some of the nice folks I met were Varianor, wizofice...

My group is starting a game next Sunday that will be mixed 3.5 and IH. It will be set in the Iron Kingdoms. It will use the IH classes, except for the arcanist, and the 3.5 spellcasting classes along with the 4 Iron kingdom classes. The 3.5 magic system will be combined with the rest of the...

Meh. I dislike the potential ECL adjustment for players in a campaign like that. I would prefer the Ninja-Pirates of Dino Island myself. Of course, that could be an even bigger ECL adjustment... :p

Lands of the Jade Oath is being written as an oriental setting for Arcana Unearthed. Hopefully, it will be finished in the next several months. For information about it and to see how it began just click on the link in my sig.

This sounds something like what I had wished WotC had used to represent the supernatural powers of ki/chi/q'i. This is, officially, a must buy for me. I don't suppose there is any chance of this being an early release at GenCon?

Am I the only one who keeps getting redirected to the Iron Heroes site when I either click on the link or type in the URL?

Races of the Dragon - The transitional dragon-race sounds like a rip from AU/AE to me, but I love that the Kobolds are getting some love. I agree that the half-dragon is a dead horse and if it were up to me they would be left that way. What are the spellscales though? The rest sounds...
