That's okay, it still means that I can take 5 MOS type feats and get +1 on 10 or 12 skills!

What scale will the figures be? I've seen references to 15mm and 28mm, but no actual word from those who know...

The bugs nuked Buenos Aires. From the other side of the galaxy, they nuked Buenos Aires. No matter how many sub-species they have, none of them will ever be able to blow a nuclear warhead out their @ss and send it across the galaxy. They are not anyting even remotely humanoid, they are bugs...

I have a queation about the wording of some of the MOS feats. In some of them, it says that if the skills chosen are already on the class skill list, you get to add a +1 bonus to the skills. In other MOS feats, this information is not given. Should it be in all of the MOS feats, or should it...

Someday I intend to runa campaing called Sky Pirates of the South Pacific. The flying ships for it will be using aetherium crystals, crystals that when stimulated with the proper frequency electrical current generate anti-gravity lift. Just to make trouble, only the Chinese know the secret of...

Ah, no. The basic premise here is the Law of Similarity. The skin of a toad looks all warty, therefore it is good for getting rid of warts. There is a great scene in a movie where a mother puts a live frog in her daughter's mouth to get rid of a sore throat. Listening to a frog croak, it...

Wouldn't it be neat if all the posters had actually answered the question asked? There is a book of critiacal hits for the d20 system. I'm sorry I can't be of much help, since I can't remember the name of the book or the publisher, but it is only a few months old, check your FLGS for it. If I...

So, any advice on how to model an officer with the Army Special Forces? Could it just be as simple as taking one of the existing Special Forces PrC's? and ignoring the requirement of E-5? Or might we all hope for some form of web enhancement? I ask because the extremely weird d20M/D&D hybred...

A creature hovering by magical means would most likely not be affected by trip attack. A creature using wings should be tripped. As mentioed earlier, a stall would be a good way to think of this effect. Stalling causes the creature to lose altitude until they recover (which I would define as...

I would say tht the best bet is to allow a Sense Motive check to see it building up (before any weapons actually come out of scabbards) or Spot if someone is already reaching for steel. The whole point of this discussion is the possibility of surprise when discussion breaks down, saying that it...

IRL, one summer night, I was asleep with the bedroom window open. My bedroom is directly over the entryway into the central courtyard of the apartment, right over the gate and call box. At 2 or 3 in the morning, a drunk came up to the gate, and when his gf or wife would not let him in, started...

One thing to be aware of, as you use those nifty abilities of a Jedi, your vitality is decreasing. All those powers burn vitality. Since this is a big change from D&D, you need to keep it in mind. Don't stop using the powers, just keep an eye on you remaining vitality points.

A difference in philosophy, I think of the base classes as something to get out of as soon as possible. It does cut down on the viability of multiclassing. And when you get down to it, is there really that big a difference between a missile that does 10d6 with a range incriment of 150 ft and...

Mostly correct. The availability of feats and the selection of skills does end the need for most of the old kits. However, PrC's do nothing WRT kits, because kits were applied at 1st level and defined the character from there on, whereas PrC's are something you must work up to. I like the...

Are you including the variant rakastas from Dragon 247? In 2nd ed, I had a sherkasta rakasta character that was loads of fun.

The party is interacting with a lot of clerics from different Gods. Oh, and the other part of speicalty priests was the unique access to the spheres of divine spells. As in, each cleric or druid spell fell into one or more spheres. Any given cleric would have access to certain shperes, but...

Don't be silly, the long life span would give them more wisdom. Ya know, thinking about elves as having lesswisdom before the weight of years catches up is a little scary...

Considering that the most "reasonable" path into the special forces would seem to be strong 3 / soldier X, and the soldier has a 3/4 BAB progression, I thought that the BAB requirements for the PrC's were a little high, compared to the level needed to get the skill ranks to the prereq ranks...

To keep the flavor about right, try this: Challenging, but not too hard for someone with training = DC 15. Challenging even for the trained (gave a penalty of -2 in 2nd ed) = DC 20. Very difficult, even for the well trained (-4 penalty from 2nd ed) = DC 25. These days, a character can start...

Ah, to have unlimited time to spend on D&D... Yes, I am familiar with those rules, I just have not had time to apply them to the clergy of all the Gods IMC. Fortunately, the only cleric currently in my game is of a Deity that would continue to be very close to the base cleric straight out of...
