Thought of that immediately. "Wasn't this how goblins worked in M:TG?" Been so long since I played, I don't remember. Love the quotes at the beginning of each. Best part. Reaping Mauler "Afraid? Yesterday I arm-wrestled a hill giant and pinned a minotaur twice my size. I think you'll...

I, like many others on this thread, am not fond of the random packaging. I know that's to encourage me to buy more, but it actually tends to turn me off. My money can only go so far. Still, I voted yes and there's a reason. There are monsters and character types in D&D that I can find nowhere...

Big one for me. I've got a whole new campaign in FR that is heavily influenced by GRRM.

They are demoing the game at Origins. I signed on as soon as I could.

Agreed. I will often fudge rolls and alter things when I DM, but always with the intent of keeping the game fun for the players. If in a very climactic scene, the party whacks the big bad with one shot, I fudge his hit points/save/whatever to keep things interesting. By the same token, I'm just...

It is because of interpretations like this that I made the point of saying evil is objective, not subjective. It's perfectly acceptable in drow society, for instance, to murder your parents and siblings (in some cases, it's expected.) That does not make doing so either a good or a neutral act...

I was thinking something similar. But why bother with granting her class levels when a simple dagger across the throat (while the barb is sleeping of course) will do? Then have her run off again. This puts the party in a bit of a bind. Do they pursue her to "avenge" their dead comrade, and if...

The rumor that I had heard was that Media Blasters had picked it up, but I've been unable to confirm it through website (seems to be down.) My friends and I have worked anime cons for years, so I tend to trust rumors I hear from them. Still, we could be mistaken.

Don't worry. You're not the only oldtimer around here. I've been an anime fan almost as long as I've been a gamer. My favs (nearly all old school.) 1) Kimagure Orange Road. I'm a bit of a sucker for the anime teenage comedies and this one is the best. For those who haven't seen it, it's a nice...

This was what I thought off the instant I saw the thread topic. Jason Isaac's character was so over the top it actually ruined the film for me. Just goes to show there is too much of a "bad" thing.

If you're willing to go a little ways out of town, there is a Complete Strategist in King of Prussia. It's on Shoemaker Rd, right off the semi-main drag of Gulph Rd. When I lived in Philly, that was my place to shop and I still make a stop there every time I'm in town.

I'm all for breaking the stereotypical "knight in shining armor" paladin. I once built a Robin Hood-style paladin that was an archer in leather armor. Not what a lot of people expected. Still, I'd like to comment on your interpretation. 1) As others have stated, the paladin definately follows...

Another series I've had highly recommended to me (although I must admit, I've not read them yet), is the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series by Tad Williams. Also, how about Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth? Another vote for GRRM's Song of Ice and Fire. These are all newer series (i.e. published...

No question they are useful items, so I think they may be one of the "undiscovered gems" of 3.5. However, they do have some limitations that you don't bring up, not the least of which is they can't be combined (no using two rods on one spell) and can only be used 3 times a day. Still, with a...

In an ideal world, I would agree with you, but the game anticipates a certain level of success versus obstacles, and if you are playing a character that is less able to be successful at what he/she is supposed to excell at than other characters (as I stated earlier, a fighter vs a...

I'm starting to hear echoes of the criticisms of the 3.0 ranger. It's good if you take a few levels (4 would seem to be optimum to get weapon spec), but not good enough to stick with it for the whole of your PC's career. If that isn't proof that the class needs some kind of tweak, I don't know...

Considering that when I play a fighter (which is often, it's one of my favorite classes), I often lean toward the greatsword/full-plate type. I'm a little tired of getting upstaged by the fighter/rogue. They simply are able to do more damage, which is why I think either fighter needs a bit of a...

While I believe fighters are pretty decent, I do find it bothersome that they get better at what they do best (killing things in physical combat) by multi-classing to rogue. Consider the trade-off. For slightly less HP, BAB, and Fort save, they gain an extra 1d6 damage when they flank an...
