I have this strange urge to listen to the Throwing Muses now...

Clearly, his name would be Mirv. :)

No, I'd let them have the goodwill, I just wouldn't let that turn into any sort of in game advantage. No favors, no special treatment. Just thanks. Hmm... I wonder how VoP would play in a culture where Beggars are treated as holy. Heck, it almost makes for a good justification for VoP in the...

Yes, or at least the visuals are... Specifically, it's based on the Corayl(sp) from A.E. Van Vogt's Voyage of the Space Beagle if I remember correctly. I will check when I get home tonight. For those of you who are anime fans, that's also what Mughi from the original Dirty Pair novels was...

Ayuh, looks like...

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Maybe I misspoke (I'm too lazy to scroll back and look) but I don't mean the party, I mean the players. Not their characters, them. Sadly, I am quite certain that were I to take VoP with my Monk that one, perhaps two of the players would take exception. Yes, I realize that that may be a sign I...

Heh... I would have let you leave the statue there, but it would have come back to haunt you later.

True, but the verdict is still out... Lovecraft's works prior to 1923 are public domain. His works which came after 1923 would have had to been renewed to retain copyright and there is no record of this having been done. Arkham House did indeed claim to own the copyright to Lovecraft's work...

Bureau 13 = Stalking the Night Fantastic Basically, it was an X-Files game published a number of years before X-Files ever aired (not to mention that it was before Chill, Dark Matter or Delta Green). Not bad for its day really. The system is a bit clunky, especially the combat system. A D20...

Well, it does shut down special attacks from an Arcane Archer. If they decide to enchant an arrow, they only get one shot for the round...

I think that balances out with the fact that the VoP character effectively becomes a money sink for the party. Money goes in, but instead of being turned into magic items, it goes to charity instead. I also think that that will be a major point of contention in many groups... they'll want to...

<i>Minarian Legends</i> - all of the background material that made up the world of <i>Divine Right</i>. Luckily, the game has been reprinted recently and all of the material plus a bunch of new stuff was included on the CD that came with it. I really like what they did with the rereleased...

Actually, recent evidence indicates that the English longbow had much less effect at Agencort(sp) than originally believed, and leaves the massive French losses on the shoulders of poor French leadership.

I'd go one step further... those feats you describe from the Dragon are effectively Domain spell lists. Why even make the Sorceror use a feat. Let them pick a 'bloodline' at first level, much like a Cleric picks a domain.

Ah, okay. So one might assume that perhaps the Dragonlance Campaign Book might have some crunchy bits about this. Does anyone know if this is the case?

It seems to be mostly a FR thing, but I'm curious if the archetype of the mad Gnomish inventor/tinker and their odd constructs and contraptions comes from somewhere in particular? In addition, have any D20 books dealt with this, perhaps providing crunchy bits on the idea?

I choose to avoid the arguement in the game I'm in... when someone attempts to stand up after I trip them, I'll hit them with a stunning blow instead. :)

What the heck is a Rakasta? Some varient spelling for Rakshasa?

Thankfully, someone else linked the various other threads where this has been talked about before. I figure it will be another week or two and someone else will ask the question and start the process all over again. Hyp is right, there is nothing strictly in the rules to prevent this, assuming...
