1st part of playtest of Castle Smoulderthorn. Talking about a warlord ability to give a blanket +2 to people's saves. here

The idea of a warlord inspiring people to get back on their feet and back into the fight is awesome. "Ignore the pain! Work through the wall! Only three more swings of the sword! One! Two! Three! You did it! Now three more! Feel the burn!" So personal trainers are warlords. "Give me...

True, but it is a bit more flexible in Eberron than other settings. Because good people can worship elements of evil gods and evil people can worship elements of good gods. "I'm a person who feels the pain of the injured, the downtrodden, the weak! I give thanks to The Fury for the passion of...

QF extreme T One thing people who green-light projects don't seem to realize (no matter how many times it comes back to bite them), is that fantasy and science fantasy-type science fiction must not look cheap. They're already hoaky in many ways, but fantasy and pulp sf are primarily visual...

As an anime fan who knows exactly how good well-done animation can look, this is a total embarrassment. For the love of all that is unholy, if you're going to do animation, get the Japanese, or the Koreans... people who actually care it if looks good. Do not hire a hack-job studio so you can...

There are no canon sources that there are any physical manifestations beyond the one in Flamekeep's basement. Very likely. The Silver Flame has existed for 100,000 years, ever since nearly all of the coutal as a race sacrificed themselves to bind the Overlords. Long before humans or any...

There's an article in a Dragon magazine (can't recall which one) that explains it better than I could, but as it goes... The fiends held in check by the Silver Flame are nearly unbeatable epic powerhouses. Arch-Devil/Demon Prince kind of power for some of them. They're called the Rakshasa...

Oh, I didn't know that. Not having the module I assumed it was something like, "we're PCs, ergo if it exists in the game, we get to kill it." I'm moderately sympathetic to Lady Vol's plight. Erandis herself probably didn't deserve what happened to her (I see her as being a teenager at best...

Ah, but what I'm seeing is that since there is no Grapple modifier, it suggests grapple rules are far more simple than before, no longer requiring their own 2-pages worth of rules to run anymore.

I'm surprised people have been missing the most important piece of information they have provided us... No grapple modifier!

Yes, killing gods in Eberron is a bit more difficult than in most other settings: 1) The Sovereign Host or the Dark Six: Where do you go to kill them? How do you find them? Do they even exist? And if they do, who has their home address? How do you kill an idea, or the faith for thousands of...

DnD has never been the same since they stopped using the d1 and dice collections no longer ship the d3.

Or, think back to what Simon said in the pilot episode: (paraphrasing) "Art, dance, theoretical physics... There was nothing that didn't come to her as naturally as breathing to you and I." Knowing that, why wouldn't she be able to fly Serenity?

Speak with Dead isn't the killer (so to speak) with mysteries, it's things like Commune. Even with an XP cost, it's still a bit annoying. The following is paraphrased from a game I was a player in (I thought up the idea, so guilty of breaking the game.) Me: We've narrowed the field down to 3...

We don't need to write this setting, it's the default for the real world. :p

Maybe they already tried, and the Abyss spat out a horde of howling demons that tore the alliance down into the Abyssal maw, and birthed a new legion of fearsome beasts born from the twisted souls of the alliance. Maybe the Powers have learned that the Abyss is a problem, but left to itself...

Rules-wise there was never a pure archer ranger. However, the concept of lightly armoured guy fighting with mobility and skill from a woodland setting is a ranger archetype, and that owes a lot to the general mythology of Robin Hood, who is most definately linked with archery.

A 25+ level caster should be able to turn a significant amount of the local real estate into an ocean of lava and slay hundreds of lesser mortals. It's what we expect from our spell-slingers. But a 25+ level fighter should be able to slay hundreds of lesser mortals (it just will take a bit...

I hope they get rid of dark vision for three reasons: 1) The moment you bring humans (or halflings) along as part of your party, the group needs a light source. At that point, dark vision in the party becomes (mostly) useless, because as a DM (or a player) I have other things to spend my time...

From article: Likewise, while wizard traditions are associated with a particular implement, a wizard need not possess or hold a given implement to use a power belonging to that tradition. Could be similar (to use 3.5 terms) to when a fighter attempts to fight with or without a weapon. With...
