I can certainly post something tomorrow should be up by noon CST.

Baltar sabotaged his own Testing after he decided he couldn't deal with the Moral obligation of informing Adama and Roslyn of who was a Cylon and who wasn't - so he decided everyone would automatically pass and then it would never become an issue. It is yet another example of when he fell to...

So I received Wizards Fall Catalog from Random House today:> Tome of Treasures September 16th 224 Pages, $29.95 "nearly a thousand magic items, weapons, tools and other useful items for your D&D character...features a mix of classic items updated to the 4th edition rules and brand new items...

I don't think they did Enter Sandman, but they did do a number of other Metallica hits that sound really, really good when played by a String Quartet. Apocalyptica http://www.apocalyptica.com/ <<EDIT>> They did in fact do Enter Sandman. Plays Mettalica By Four Cellos Track listing 1...

This somes up my issue very concisely - a system which actively encourages dump states is disappointing - hopefully 4e does not have this issue - but it certainly may given what we have seen so far.

I am very much hoping that we will later learn that INT provides something for the non wizard/sage type character. I also am somewhat troubled by the idea that the 'standard array' is going to become 16,16,12,10,8,8 since it becomes less 'useful' to have decent non primary stats. We will see...

My initial thought was to change 6 hours rest from full heal to heal HP = CON or perhaps heal HP = Level + Con Mod (which is what I used for my 3.5 game). Will it help with the verisimilitude? Maybe. I entirely appreciate the reasons for the Healing as presented - I see clear advantages to...

I think this is probably true - there is a general skill list that includes a variety of very basic skills (think those that could be used untrained in 3e). Each character chooses a number of skills from this list equal to their Int bonus to be trained in. This way anyone can be trained in...

I was originally of the opinion that 6+Con referred to the HP healed instead of the number of surges allowed - but the evidence posted later in this thread leads me to the opposite conclusion. By establishing some type of limit to healing there is now a finite limit to a Clerics per encounter...

This is (of course) entirely speculative - but my guess is that Int will provide a bonus of Trained skills equal to your Int modifier at first level. These skills must be selected from a specific list, one which includes only 'generic' skills (basically the skills in 3e that could be used...

By limiting the PHB to 8 classes, the page count per class is higher then it would be if there were 11 classes. Remember - everyone now has powers (ala Book of Nine Swords) - so the Divine/Arcane spell lists in your 3e PHB now also includes powers for the nonmagical (martial) classes as well...

I would infer that most adjudications regarding polymorph are simply gone. See the PHB II for the 'new' Druid Shapeshifing mechanic - there are generic 'form types' that you can shift into, and regardless of what flavor you attach to them the forms grant a specific series of bonuses - no...

$29.95 for 160 Pages. Not pleased that trend appears to be set in stone. I would speculate that it will probably be similar to the original completes - 3 new 'base' martial classes. A smattering of paragon and epic tier spin off classes and a spell book style collection of...

Battletech: Takes place in a alternate galaxy/universe/whatever that has nothing to do with earth. There are 5 main houses that are always fighting. They fight primarily with Mechs. Major plotlines typically center around bloodlines or mercenaries fighting between the houses. There are...

I beleive this is the guideline to use when viewing 'game breaking spells'. Adventure planning/writing/organizing/running is a labor based activity. The DM is performing the labor with a variety of tools to ease the labor load - published adventures being one example (of many). The game...

By all that is Good and Holy, by the Brimstone Pits of the Nine Hells, HOW is Mr. Fluffly Leafed Droo-Add Dude still HERE?!? Begone Obid-hai. BEGONE!

The system that I have been very pleased with is as follows: HP gained is d4+x X is the number which will provide maximum hit points for your hit die type. 1d4 is 1d4 1d6 is 1d4 + 2 1d8 is 1d4 + 4 1d10 is 1d4 + 6 1d12 is 1d4 + 8 I have found that it provides a nice advantage for the...

Victoria: Revolutions (an expansion for Victoria) was released on the 17th. As deep seeded strategy games go, I currently know of none better. My friends and I also regularly throw down some Dawn of War at least a few nights a week. Earlier in the month there was some Tropico, as well as...

I have made a few changes:> They are now a Prestige class only based on the UA rules. The requirments are generally the same, although I may change the required feats in some cases depending on the deity in question that is being followed. All deities may have paladins, so the alignment...

DarkKestral, I would consider adding Tumble as a class skill as well - while it does have non-combat functionality, it is MUCH more combat functional then some of the other skills you game them... I definitely like the Magic Shield and Iron Self - help the fighters keep up in a high magic...
