    It would have to be a gnome, it's carrying a hooked hammer, by the looks of it.

    Will you accept fudging?

    I'm more inclined to accept it if the DM underestimated the danger of the encounter. We've had a few "Wait a minute, that ability does *what*?" moments in a game I'm in. However, if the DM feels it's absolutely necessary, I'd rather not know about it. I also don't accept retconning if my...

    Your own personal gaming terms...

    DM Gold Definition: Feces or a bad idea. Origin: A guess at what went through our old DM's head when he developed railroading plotlines involving his GMPCs. The term was then used for bad gaming ideas and mutated into fecal matter in general. Example: "That'll be DM gold!" "What a pile of DM...

    Thoughts on Kalamar

    There are a lot of deities, but they're the same deities for everyone, so there's no dealing with racial gods with overlapping portfolios. In the race books for the setting, subsets of the main gods are presented as being the most popularly worshipped. If you want to just pick the top seven...

    Reunification!

    In Feist's work, the physical differences between the elves and the dark elves are minimal. The transformation is subtle, such as a difference in stance and posture that indicate that the dark elf has let go of its aggressive nature. I find the idea of a Faerunian drow changing into a normal...

    (total frustration) There MUST be an Extra Feats Academy around somewhere here ...

    Kalamar's Villian Design Handbook has Anti-Feats, which are sort of like flaws. Anti-Alertness would give you skill penalties instead of bonuses, for example. The concept was a little wobbly in practice because some feats don't make much sense when "reversed." -Mara

    In Praise of Scenes of Artwork

    Gah! Of course, it had to be obvious. I was looking through the art galleries of the various villian books to find him since I knew I had seen him somewhere. I never thought to check the Monster Manual. -Mara

    In Praise of Scenes of Artwork

    I really enjoyed the artwork in the Spell Compendium. That book what where I started to notice the scenes. I particularly like the assassin absorbing a dagger outside of a tavern, the cleric kneeling before a statue to pray for spells, the mass awaken scene, and the illustration for Tiny...

    legal dragon cross stitch patterns???

    If you really want to narc on the seller, report the Mickey's Christmas Carol pattern that is also for sale to Disney. I seem to recall them being rather aggressive about protecting their copyright.

    I've got the D&D Spell Compendium- Any questions?

    Quill Blast has been changed. The number of quills per size category is now a fixed number, with the highest being 12 for huge+ creatures, and the penalty to attack rolls, saves, and checks is noncumulative. Spikes no longer stacks with other crit range enhancers like Improved Critical. -Mara
