I'll have to second the suggestion of the Iron Kingdoms Campaign Guide. Check out the Iron Kingdom's website for more detail on the setting... http://www.ironkingdoms.com/ It is 'full metal fantasy', ie fantasy D&D with steam and the best firearm rules i've seen. Tweaks on magic, arcane...

I'll add my voice to the chorus of those against Newwave. I got burned by them as well. I still use their site however to browse miniatures as they have the best selection and you can view most of the minis. I find what i want and order it somewhere else. I will never order from them again...

I couldn't care less if Paris Hilton is in it or not. What kills me is that Justin Whalin is returning. His character was the worst thing in a horrible movie. For those who don't remember he was the stupid, bumbling side kick of the hero. - Feydras

my favorite D&D joke is actually a tag line i have seen floating around... Jesus saves... the rest of you take full damage.

The elves in the Iron Kingdoms by Privateer Press are fairly unique. There are two distinct races of elves and they don't get along. The elves, like the setting as a whole, are well thought out and twisted a bit. Both races are isolationist, but for different reasons. The Iosian elves live...

Maybe i just don't understand the problems... How are the 3.5 changes to classes not improvements? The 3.0 ranger is frontloaded and ripe for 'cherrypicking'. Beyond that the ranger has nothing to offer at higher levels beyond spells. The 3.5 version introduces combat styles so you finally...

For any change there will always be a certain percentage of people who reflexively reject it. They are called in social psychology neophobes. I am not trying to be insultive with this observation, but instead simply trying to put the discussion into perspective. As an admitted neophile (the...

Does the IK ranger use the combat styles presented in the 3.5 ranger? Specifically, does the IK ranger get a choice btwn two-weapon fighting or archery begining at 2nd level? This is the one of the best changes WOTC did with 3.5 IMO. - Feydras

I like these ideas. I searched your site for details but was unable to find them listed. Any plans to put them up? - Feydras

Probably from too many people ordering online... - Feydras

Agreed. But i still want rules for how to set and increase the basic 'attack mod' or reflex save. I like the idea of Search and Disable DCs being set by the trapmaking skill. As noted, this could get into some very high DCs however. Not sure how to balance this. Maybe it would make more...

Good suggestions. Thanks. Orm - my DM is more than willing to work with me, perhaps too willing. i am the one concerned about game balance, especially as i am the usual DM in the setting just stepping into the role of player for a handful of sessions. Your suggestion is a good one but still...

I have a rogue character who is taking ranks in Craft: trapmaking with the intention of setting snares and simple trigger traps. Nothing permanent, and nothing elaborate. Some examples would be a net trap, collapsing tunnel, spring blade hidden in brush, dirt or water, etc... The core rules...

It looks like a more logically considered high magic world than Forgotten Realms. I imagine it will be interesting. I don't plan on buying it as i am excitedly looking forward to the Iron Kingdoms Campaign Guide currently at the printers. Privateer Press has yet to publish anything that isn't...

I was also very disappointed in the Complete Warrior's 'spell-less ranger'. I expected a 'spell-less' and 'spell-like ability less' ranger. For the same reason i was disappointed the first time i saw Monte Cook's revised ranger. I eagerly clicked on the link only to say, what the h***...

You might consider checking out the Iron Kingdoms setting by Privateer Press. The setting in Thief is very similar to Iron Kingdoms. In the IK magic items are less common and often mixed with mechanika that requires charges, alchemical solutions or bizarre components. Steam powered golemlike...

This variant looks good. It looks like what i have been searching for. Would you mind if i copied the info over to another message board, specifically, this one... http://www.wakinglands.com/htm_files/the_combat_variant_page.htm This board has a very good variant combat system that focuses...

Ooops, this should have gone over in D&D Rules, can anyone move it there? - feydras

I am confused by the 2nd level Shatter spell. Where do i find the Will saving throw for an object? What book, page? The text seems to infer that objects are automatically shattered with no save, but the spell stats state "Will negates (object)". Also, what if the object is attended, like a...

This sounds good to me. Thanks for the input. - feydras
