    Augmenting a power. Can you manifest the power and augment later?

    Just wondering if you can manifest a power and decide to augment it *later* if you have to . . . or, do you have to decide whether to augment when you manifest the original power. I'm just thinking in such situations where perhaps the duration of a power can be extended through augmentation.

    Elven subraces. What do they look like in 3E? Have they changed like the halfling?

    I'm sick of not having a *true* mental picture of what the elven subraces look like when compared to each other. You see, I like the picture of the Greyhawk human "subraces" in the LGG. This picture helped me visualise the human subraces when, previously, I was just going by some vague written...

    Mounted Combat - Useful?

    Very true. If you run a *typical* D&D game the mounted warrior is useless. I mean, I had a Cavalier in the olde 1e and I never used him on his horse!!!!!!! Me 'orse just got used for travelling from one dungeon to the next. Then I dismounted and went in on foot to kill the baddies! I'm not...

    Monster Manual III: Buying?

    But is the format *really* better? Now the game designers are arbitrarily *forced* to conform to a certain space requirement. They either have to: a) chop pertinent bits out; or b) and extra fluff to make up the space quota. A monster a page is a lot of space to fill . . . unless, of course...

    At what age did you start gaming?

    Theory 2 Girl gamers start playing at around age 19+ It is very rare to find a girl gamer who has started younger. Why is this so? Well, girls are probably encouraged to pursue other things in their childhood/adolenscence. However, when they have grown up and love Buffy and Startrek or...

    When the DMs interpretation of alignment differs from the players

    I think one of the major problems that a DM has such difficulty in adjudicating a situation where his player has a differing view of alignment is becaues WotC authors don't even agree@!!!!! In fact, the *same* author can, ofttimes, not be consistant. Look at you Draconomican as an example...

    Should Sorcerers have a *unique* spell list like the Cleric or Psion?

    Me thinks I have to check out Arcana Unearthed one of these days. It seems to get nothing but praise. Is Arcana Evolved replacing AU? In other words, AE is not just a supplement to AU but an actual *revision* with all material reprinted? Naw. The Sorcerer in the BoEM just have a different...

    At what age did you start gaming?

    Actually, you make an interesting point. In my experience, all the girl gamers that I know started gaming no younger than about 20-years of age. I wonder if this a trend in the RPG community?

    At what age did you start gaming?

    Back in the old days a player would have many PCs under his wing. I think that's because the game was more combat-oriented (like a wargame) and not so much focused on roleplaying and character development.

    Should Sorcerers have a *unique* spell list like the Cleric or Psion?

    Are you saying that each cleric of a different deity would just have a different selection of PHB divine spells? Or, are you saying like what I'm saying: They will literally have uniquely flavoured spells . . . no double ups. Your cleric of Pelor has "Lance of the Sun" while your cleric of...

    Should Sorcerers have a *unique* spell list like the Cleric or Psion?

    Ya, I know you can take what I'm saying to the max. You could have unique spells for each class, ie. the druid and cleric would have completely different flavoured spells, but I do understand D&D is a game, too, and can't be made too complicated. I guess the point of my gripe is that, in my...

    Should Sorcerers have a *unique* spell list like the Cleric or Psion?

    Clerics have a unique spell list. This gives them *flavour*. Psions (and the other psi-users) have a unique powers list. This gives them *flavour*. Anyway, I know that Wizards and Sorcerers are both *arcane* casters, but I was thinking the other day that it might be cool to give Sorcerers a...

    At what age did you start gaming?

    I have a theory that RPG gamers who love the game to death started at an early age. Early age I define as anywhere from 9 to 21. My theory also says that if you started gaming *after* this age, it is far less likely that you will treat gaming as an integral part of your life. In other words...

    Kingdoms of Kalamar: Ask the Emperor!

    Could Kalamar fit easily into the Great Wheel cosmology? Is the Kalamar pantheon finite or infinite? Please give me a brief description of the Kalamar cosmology. Is there demonlords and archdevils on Kalamar?

    Scarred Lands: Ask the Sage [Nothing can stop me now!! *evil laugh*]

    Are there any Scarred Lands adventure modules? Are they like an FR adventure? ie. they're heavily based around campaign events that take place in novels and PCs are puppeteered through 'em by the GM? If Mordenkainen wanted to make "first contact", who should he see? Just the first grumbling...

    d20 Blackmoor - Worth buying?

    So which is the first *published* RPG setting? Is the answer "Both" because they were released, as you say, together? Or, is it Greyhawk because it in nominatively Supplement 1 as opposed to Supp. 2? Have you journeyed into the City of the Gods with Mr. Arneson GMing? Is the City of the Gods...

    Yoink! The only 2 monsters in MM3 I was interested in I got for FREE! Suckers!!!!!!!!

    2 old-school beasties from MM3 you can get for free here and here. Gnoll, Flind This monster first appeared in the 1E FF but I've never used it. Has anyone else used it? It seems a bit redundant if you ask me. If you want a Flind, just give a gnoll a pair of iron nunchukas! Kenku These first...

    Where did the bullywugs go?

    No one could decide whether you call them: Bully-wugs (as in school bully) OR Buhly-wugs (as in sea gull)
