When you are improving a druid/ranger animal companion and it gains feats from increasing its HD, which feats can it select from? All feats that it qualifies for (and make sense) or only the ones listed in the MM as monster feats?

Re: Strategizing a Singer. In my campaign, UMD has proven very valuable to the party's bard. She is the only arcane caster in the group (bard 8/arcane archer 3), and they have no cleric (barb, druid and ftr/rog/guild thief). She has max ranks in it (at least 11, maybe some more cross-class...

Friday game I play in: "Band of Blackcroft" (after the homestead out characters came from) Sunday game I DM: "A Bard, a Barbarian, a Druid and their wacky little Rogue sidekick". ;)

Positive change In my campaign's experience, the one time a character took Leadership and gained a cohort, it did engender some grumbling when everyone realized he would be getting a portion of the group's total xp. Even from the player of the pc with the cohort! The cohort was helpful, but...

I could be wrong, but I believe the Blood War first appeared thanks to Planescape.

And here I thought this post was going to be about Arcana Unearthed. ;)

That sounds great! Good luck!

I've been playing a lot of NWN lately with a Rogue/Fighter, so I've been watching closely to see how it handles Sneak Attacks and AoOs. I don't get sneak attacks if I am the only one attacking an enemy. If someone else is I get them occasionally, I guess it depends on how the system figures out...

I've just started up again after a 6 month hiatus... there are some great modules out now that creators have had time to really learn how to use the toolset (and some of the bugs have been fixed from release). I started Witch's Wake but haven't gotten too far into it.. it looks excellent...

Tales of the Dying Earth - Jack Vance Includes 4 books: The Dying Earth, The Eyes of the Overworld, Cugel's Saga and Rialto the Magnificent. Interesting stuff, you can see where some elements of AD&D came from for sure.

This was my only complaint with movie Theoden. Theoden was completely lost in despair at that point, not even caring if some of his people might be able to survive if they left the caves while his men held off the orcs. Aragorn had to take charge and only when he suggested they charge out did...

My main issue with the Aragorn scenes is if they have little character impact and don't serve the plot, why are they there? They take screen time away from other things that could have been shown. I fully expected and wanted "meddling" to be done. A literal intrepretation of LOTR would be...

This map shows where Numenor was. It was swallowed by the sea after the Numenoreans tried to invade Valinor. http://lotrmaps.middle-earth.us/mea/2nd%20age/01SECOND.GIF The lake where the Elves awoke was in the far eastern part of Middle-Earth. This map shows Cuiviénen...

I have been a fan of Tolkien for 20 years. I have used Olorin as my nick whenever possible for almost as long as I've been online. That has nothing to do with my views on the movie. *shrug* If you are going to disagree with something I said, please address what I say. Thanks. I liked many many...

I was not impressed with the portrayal of Theoden either and I have no axe to grind. He came across slightly better on my second viewing, but his strength was greatly diminished in the movie. In the books once he came to his senses and was freed from the thrall of Wormtongue, he was decisive...

I agree with Celebrim that many of the changes/additions were poor. I enjoyed the movie overall but I just can't fathom why the writers and director though some of these things were a good idea. Faramir is the chief one. His character was done a huge disservice by forcing him to admit the ring...

No duration is given for this ability (MoP p. 184)... also no limit on how often the paraelemental can perform it. Was just curious, would you let it do this every round? If it succeeds, does it last until the target is dead or makes its saving throw (or the paraelemental dies)? That's how I...

Is there any way to purchase a mount and have it show up on the character sheet? I see that Druids/Rangers/Paladins/etc. have a Companion section that lets them pick their animals, but my plain old Fighter bought a mount and there's no way I can see to have it appear on the character sheet. Olorin

Here's how I understand it: Mind Flayer attacks. Could be a full attack with all 4 tentacles. Each tentacle that hits gives him a free grapple check to hold with that tentacle. If the flayer hits with all 4 and gets 4 holds, and if the target does not break the grapple on his next action, when...

Curious thing though... I removed the Profession skills from the Hill Dwarf.rac file and added Craft (Armorsmithing) with a racial bonus of 2. Made a new character... on the stat block, the Profession skills are gone now, but Armorsmithing doesn't appear. The other Craft skills still do. Craft...
