Ah, yes, but remember: with total concealment, they need to guess where you actually are... wrong location means miss chance is 100% :)

Oh, the joys of writing in haste! The balance I was refering to was with regard to other weapons. Is this more powerful than a M-60 or even a Ma Deuce? Yes, and well it should be. The M-60 machine gun is based on the design of the early WWII German squad support MG. The M-2 machine gun was...

Excuse me, but "balance" is a nonsense issue. This is heavy duty military hardware. Saying that it is too deadly to characters has absolutely NO bearing on the discussion at hand. Nuclear warheads are too deadly for a character to survive. Want the stats for a 1 megaton blast? The ONLY...

I have several that I would like the chance to play. Over the years, I have had some opportunities to play these, but never in a lasting campaign setting: A sherkasta rakasta (a half-tiger/half-human being) (from Dragon 247); an EX friend of my girl friend ran a game for a while... we...

Remote 100 feet - Wheels audio/visual sensor - Remote 200 feet Treads - Remote 300 feet Helicopter Rotor Propeller Manipulators quadrupedal bipedal I would have to disagree with this ranking. First, I can think of no reason for a remote of range 300 feet would really be much harder than a...

The speed of sound is over 6000 feet per round.

There is no need to add those proficiencies to any of the classes. Using the rules as they already exist in D20 Modern, you simply need to have a suitable list of occupations to represent a midevil time frame. For example: Knight Skills: Ride, Diplomacy, whatnot. Bonus Feats: Armor...

For my son we had discussed the name Brendan Alexander, until I pointed out that his initials would be BAR (and him being Irish!) and that Brendan is Irish for ravan and Alexander is helper. He would have been ravan helper. Is that anything like hamburger helper? If I have a daughter any time...

Not quite as "must have" as all that. The rogue I am currently running will not take it any time soon. While it would be nice, it would slow down my quest to become a shadowdancer. After that, however, I just might be interested. Since the DM is increasably tight fisted with magic treasure...

My character is MY character. If I leave a campaign, the DM is free to mention my character's name, tell his history, and in general refer to my character. The DM has no right to actually play my character. In fact, I do not allow any one to play a character of mine at any time. If I am late...

Gee, I like their covers. I have two reasons for not owning most or all of their books, however. 1: budget (buying all the gaming books I want would require me to rent a separate apartment just for that. 2: some of the rules. Looking through the books that have gunpowder weapons in them, I...

Invariably, every DM I've played with that has used that rational to not use miniatures has had a game wherein I could not make full use of my character's abilities. A 3E example: I had a monk with combat reflexes who never got to make a single attack of opportunity. Without a battlemat and...

Keep the fiction Don't use bits and pieces of a book and call it a short story. I've been reading Dragon continuously since it was in single digits, and in that time I have read a lot of good fiction. I have also read some bad stories as well. The one thing that has consistantly annoyed me...

What is the time frame of the book? Have there been any liberties with the historical timeline of events? Apart from the obvious fantastical or mythical elements, how accurate is the history?

PCGen should be able to provide support for the new releases in short order. It is a great tool for use in creating characters and such. Once WotC gives permission, PCGen should be able to provide full support for the whole range of D&D products, like Forgotten Realms, Epic Level Handbook, and...

My single biggest complaint with that movie was the idiotic way Verhoven presented the bugs. The bugs from the book are an INTELLEGENT race. They use weapons in battle, they build starships, they can launch nuclear warheads against targets on Earth. That asside, I like your write up.

I just can't see the spell failure percentage as being any less than 100%, and that only for a specially designed Large mecha. For the Huge size and up, it would either be impossible or the mage would have to open up the cockpit to get a clear line of effect out of the mecha. I suppose that in...

In real life, a fragmentation grenade is called a defensive weapon, because you would only use them while you are in hard cover. The schrapnel will fly over 120 feet (I have no idea where I learned that!), which is farther that the typical GI can throw. Offensive grenades are a cardboard tube...

Naturally. That is probably the ONLY Monstrous Compendium that I don't have. But I'd swear that what I was looking at was a product for D20. But If they are called Grave Scarabs, that could make finding them a lot easier, much easier that trying to find them under Scarab Beetle, Beetle, or...

Several months ago, I saw a monster book for Ravenloft that had scarab beetles like the ones from the movie "The Mummy". I can't find it now, or even remember what the title is to look it up! Can anybody help me?
