Started with a basic boxed set early 90s, added some AD&D in bits as we could afford books (teens at the time), then migrated to 3e reluctantly, but learned to love it's consistency more than ANYTHING the older versions had. The SRD enabled us to move to 3.5 pretty quickly, and although we were...

I'd like to reiterate a point I saw made much earlier in the thread that was never really addressed. 1/1/1 is bad for Gamists, because fun for them is playing the tactical game and getting every benefit possible out of things, and this rule is BROKEN for them, due to the "going around the...

Have you considered the Four Horsemen as Angels instead of Daemons? Given that Daemons have pretty much been cut, and their former ranks added to either the devils or demons, and yet the horsemen seem far more specific than either...

As I've mentioned before, I've kinda stopped paying attention to the 3e version of the IH, since the 4e version is now of great interest to me (I'm fully on board that boat at this point). I know we keep harping on this point, but have you considered getting any extra help for getting the new...

Instead of multiple heads for Adamic, what about multiple eyes? (or no eyes)

Jubilex was the main villain for a campaign I ran for 3 years. It was awesome.

I think he means Virtual Table Top, part of DDI...

Here's the reason that LA needs to apply to BOTH sides of the gestalt. The biggest, most important resource in the game is not hitpoints or spells or BAB or whatnot. It's actions. Gestalt does not give you more actions. Gestalt gives you more things you can do, but you can still only do one...

Just a note, when we say that a half fiend Pal5//Rog5 is ECL 10 or 11, we mean that gestalt itself adds +1 or 2 LA, but your entire part has that, so don't worry too much. You can even give them XP for ECL9 if you want, but know that they are more powerful than normal characters, so balance...

Been a while since I've stopped by, but after seeing the previews of 4e mechanics, I've thrown in my lot there. My criticisms of 4e are simply in the fluff they've suggested so far (the notorious golden wyvern debate) and in hints at how they're going to handle multiclassing, but I'm willing to...

So, do you guys think that "slow" means dex drain, skipping turns, moving within the initiative order, or will there be some sort of "speed" mechanic?

As far as I'm aware, Lodoss was BASED on D&D. According to wikipedia, it's based on D&D and a japanese RPG called "Sword World".

I think that once you get to the epic level challenges, you'd BETTER be challenging gods. That's the style of game they're talking about! If you don't want to fight gods, don't play at epic levels... it's that simple. Granted, I'm a disciple of Upper_Krust anyway, so...

Balancing monsters against a party that is "fully rested" via per encounter abilities has me excited, as challenging my party was always difficult before... either they'd use resources but the fight itself would be easy, or I'd have to raise the challenge, and it's always tricky gaging how far...

Terry Pratchett defined this one pretty well, in his 1985 speech: Why Gandalf Never Married The relevant quote: I think the backlash is that people think that the middle paragraph I quoted here may no longer be true. We WANT D&D to be a mosaic of every fantasy story we've ever read. On that...

Save or Incapacitated has not been confirmed to be gone though, which is good in my eyes. Petrification and baleful polymorph are still possibilities. I can deal with Power Word: Kill dealing some huge number of HP damage instead of save vs. die. I can't deal with not being able to turn...

"Something else"... meaning, a homebrew, not close enough to any of those answers to allow me to select them. That's the neat thing about homebrews. You don't have to fit the mold.

If the math does not work out as promised at a far larger range of levels, I'll not use it. I'm especially interested in level 20-30. If the different "styles" aren't significantly different from each other... that is, 1-10 and 20-30 are the same game except with bigger numbers, I'll not use...

I thought the demons were supposed to be non-humanoid?

I want to see Glamour as a power source, not in the hands of a druid, but in the hands of actual fey. Fairies that have more flavor than mere... er... whatever they are in 3e. In fact, fairies with any flavor at all would be an improvement. I'm not asking for fey classes, but, with Glamour as...
