Here's a little bit of news that might make some of you happy: KCSN FM 88.5 has old time radio shows every Sunday from 5 to 7 PM (Pacific). Of course, if you don't actually live in the San Fernando or Santa Clarita valleys, tuning it in on your radio may be a bit difficult. Fortunately, there...

Ah, but to be consistant with 3.5 rules, the galley needs to be changed from a face of 130 ft by 20 to a face of 30 feet with a reach of 20 feet with its ram (in all directions, of course:D ) At least, this is what happens to it during combat, the rest of the time it can be long and narrow.

Shiruken are ammunition now, you can throw one for each attack you have, don't need to have them in hand, don't get them back at the end... Oh, and to clarify before any questions come up, you can only take one 5 foot step in a full attack action, but it can be at the beginning, the end or at...

3.5 does indeed say that rising from prone generates an AoO. Its hardly broken, if anything it makes far more sense to say that the act of rising DOES trigger than to say it DOESN'T. Going back to the original question, yes using the AoO from getting up from prone gets the +4 bonus, even if...

It might help if people thought of this whole thing not in binary (prone/standing) but in trinary (prone/getting up/standing). Unless I missed something, the state of being prone does not trigger an AoO. Neither does standing. However, getting up, the act of changing state from prone to...

I've shot a bow a few times; I am certainly not an expert. I would rule the restring time as more than a full round action. First you need to get one string out from where ever that bundle of several is kept, untangling as needed. That's a MEA all by its self. Then you loop one end of the...

I like the assumtion that the various NPC's will gain, on average, about 1,000 experience points per year. In practice, this means that the 10 year veteran of the city guard will be a 5th level warrior and the village elder (40 years old) peasant, bouncing a grandchild on his knee, will be a...

Green Ronin is working on Dragon Fist... although I don't know when it will be out. Since it is the origial author working on the update, I'm betting that it will be worth seeing. If you want to see what Dragon Fist is about, go look here: http://www.dragonfist.net/

Maybe D&D 4th edition will clear all this up! Any word on how soon we can expect it to be released? Since many other spells have changed significantly from previous editions, I think I am going to enter this debate on the "death on a failed save" side. The reasoning behind that will have to...

I must admit that I wish that Combat Reflexes could be used to deflect more arrows in a round. I also find that I disagree with the requirement that you need an open hand to use Deflect Arrow. Wuxia has many examples of martial arts types using various weapons to deflect incoming arrows, often...

I got SA to add swashbuckling to my D&D game. For this, it is broken. There are feats, weapons and prestige classes that cannot fit into "standard" D&D without seriously unbalancing the game. On the other hand, I believe that if played as a stand alone game, where all characters and NPC's are...

Two things: the propellant makes a large noise upon discharge, and the bullet travels at supersonic speed, causing a sonic boom. Using a silencer on the rifle diminishes the report, making it harder to determine the firing location by sound. Using cold load ammo causes the bullet to travel at...

I hadn't intended to have such a long delay before getting back to this, but I had major computer trouble. I never meant to say that there can be no new skills for d20M, only that there should never be any new knowledge skills. While they certainly failed to cover all the bases, I agree...

Will the dead tree version be distributed to my FLGS or should I stop waiting and order it directly? Okay, wwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off topic, but I need to point out that a field of hemp, grown to provide fiber to make paper would yield MORE paper than the same size field of trees...

But there is not (nor can there ever be) a Knowledge (Skydiving) skill in D20 Modern. Knowledge skills are fixed, with only a small number in existance.

By the Gods, but I'd be out of luck, I don't drink anything that has had sweetener added! Bleech:mad:

I thought I saw a reference to the possibility of more that one familiar. Did anyone else see this? And with the references to spending gold, are we going back to the old 1,000gp cost of getting a familiar?

It lost a lot once Oriental Adventures and Rokugan showed up. Even before then, I never thought that it did a good job of capturing the feel of a samurai warrior. A couple of minor changes and it could be a great PrC for an oriental campaign... change the name, change weapon focus (bastard...

Monk is a core class that ends up losing some interesting stuff by multiclassing. All of the higher level class abilities will be gone forever. AC bonuses, open hand damage and unarmed attacks per round do not increase. Note that some PrC's allow those last to continue to increase...

Sounds like what you really want is Traveller T20. Its got prior history rules all set up. While I have not yet had a chance to read the rules, I know that earlier editions of Traveller had rules for trade and commerce as well.
