    What's with the sexy githyanki?

    I don't think she looks all that different from the female githyanki that was pictured in the 3.0 Planar Handbook or the 3.5 Monster Manual.

    D&D 5E Critical Hits Appears to be Next in D&D Archive

    Since iterative attacks are gone, I could imagine the number of dice might increase with character level.

    D&D 3E/3.5 How do you plan to end your 3E campaign?

    I'm playing the Shackled City Adventure Path with one of my groups, we just started Chapter 10 of 12, so we might be done when 4e comes out. However, my plan is to follow up with Savage Tide right after that, and I don't believe that will work with 4e, so this group will still be playing 35e for...

    4th Edition, Kindle & The Future of Gaming Books

    Before getting too enthusiastic about the Kindle you should read Amazon's Terms of Service regarding the device and consider the ramifications of its rather restrictive DRM. This is very enlightening: The Future of Reading

    The Curse of the 100gp Pearl

    That is correct. Actually the full rule reads as follows: Magic Item Compendium, p. 217: "A character using the detect magic spell can attempt a Spellcraft check to determine the school of magic associated with the item's powers. If the character exceeds the DC for this check by 10 or more...

    The Curse of the 100gp Pearl

    Actually the Magic Item Compendium has a rule for fully identifying a magic item with a Spellcraft check against DC 25 + 1/2 caster level when casting detect magic. Check page 217 for this.

    From the WotC Boards: Mearls on 'Aggro'

    Thanks for the explanation. Sounds awfully mechanical and restricting somehow though, for a tabletop RPG. So I think I'm in favor of not having this in D&D. Of course, one could always ignore such a rule.

    From the WotC Boards: Mearls on 'Aggro'

    Er, I feel stupid to ask, but since I don't play MMORPGs I have no idea what you are talking about. What exactly is an "aggro"?

    D&D 4E Is 4E the designers homebrew coming to my gaming table?

    I have to wonder... wasn't Greyhawk also "the designers' homebrew coming to our tables"?

    Pathfinder 1E Have you played or run Paizo's Adventure Paths?

    I DM for three groups. My oldest group is currently playing "The Shackled City" (from the hardcover). We had a TPK in "Zenith Trajectory" against the Kuo-Toas due to uncannily bad dice rolling on the players' side. After that, we continued with a new group and are now close to finishing "Lords...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Physical Copy

    My physical copy arrived today in Germany. Looks very very good! I was afraid the package might got held up in customs, because it contained both PF #1, the Player's Guide and module D2, for a total of $46.97, which is more than the threshold of 22 €, over which customs fees of about 20% must be...

    Design & Dev: Monsters (DRAGONS!)

    I think I'm missing something, where does it say the dragon has 1,000 hp to begin with?

    Expedition To.... / Which Expedition do you want to see next?

    We got Expeditions for Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Planescape and Ravenloft. I'm missing the Known World a.k.a. Mystara. So... Expedition to the Temple of Death!

    You should buy a new DM.

    D&D 4E Star Wars Saga Edition as preview of 4e?

    I'm amazed no one has yet mentioned the complete removal of the 5-ft.-step or the changes of charge to a standard action and withdraw to a move action. These, especially the 5-ft.step, will impact tactical combat quite a lot. In fact you might be able now to charge your opponent every round now...

    Widen feat for "Mass/Greater" spells

    Still, it doesn't seem to me to make sense to widen a Lightning Bolt, for example. Lightning Bolt has a range of 120 ft. and originates from the caster. Even if the Widen Spell feat doubles the length of the line, the spell still can't affect anything beyond its range, so this seems rather...
