    Good day, gentlemen. Has anyone noticed a striking change in Dragon magazine?

    Ok. I guess I was rude or something and having been scolded I will attempt to communicate feelings of displeasure without offending anyone. Frankly I don't think I was offending any(one) as I was offending an entity (Paizo) probably made up of and directed by a bunch of blue-blood investors as...

    [3.5] Rangers lose medium armor!

    I can understand this, to an extent. Often I find that traps aren't used properly in games - they are either used randomly or are so weak you have to wonder, "why would anyone put this trap here - is it just to p*ss me off?" These traps serve no purpose. Now, on a chest with loads of gold and...

    [3.5] Rangers lose medium armor!

    I actually have no problem with any of the answers provided. But then again I'm crazy. :p

    This is a Rant [Meta-thread]

    Appreciates Silver Moon's support and begins a lengthy description of a PC I once ran that actually hailed from Silverymoon (FR) - laughs are heard all around - but then turns quite nasty in response to his opinion about the pathetic movie sequels, lauding the fact that the new "Charlie's...

    [Rant] On Spell Focus...

    I guess, from my perspective, is that it comes down to "who should the designers pander to?" Should they pander to those who buy up and use all supplements (and are therefore liable to abuse certain weak portions of the core rules). OR Should they pander to those who use the core rules and...

    [Rant] On Spell Focus...

    Now we are getting into an entirely different argument. This boils down to "what is 3.5E"? Is it: 1. A revision of core rules based on what was broken in the core rules. 2. A revision of core rules based on what was broken in the third-party supplements or 3. Some combination therein. ...

    [Rant] On Spell Focus...

    I have to second this remark. The designers should make the core rules the best they can be and not worry about the mutations that are inevitable. And they DEFINITELY should be slapped around repeatedly.

    More blowing my own trumpet…

    I don't really know how to respond to this. I didn't read your article, and your post doesn't exactly request any response. I don't mean to be negative but are you just fishing for praise?

    [Rant] On Spell Focus...

    Psion- I'm confused by your suggestion at 'salvaging' Spell Focus. I can only interpret your suggestion in 2 ways: 1. Add +1 DC and add +1 caster level. The problem here is that raising the caster level of any spell gives the caster a +1 to DC. This means, under this interpretation, the...

    What is a character with a 6 INT, 6 CHA, and 8 WIS like?

    Wait a minute - doesn't this guy have a chance to reroll his stats? After doing some quick math his overall bonus modifiers only yield a +1 - which I believe the PHB says you can reroll if your mods don't net you MORE than a +1. Just have him reroll - problem solved.

    [Rant] On Spell Focus...

    Fair enough. But we have learned a few things already, some which already don't gel: 1. SF and GSF are reduced to stackable +1 each in 3.5E (cited on this website, in Dragon magazine, at WoTC, etc.) 2. Andy Collins himself has said (and I quote): "If you disallow GSF in your game, you'd almost...

    What is a character with a 6 INT, 6 CHA, and 8 WIS like?

    Anyone remember "Corky" from the show 'Life Goes On'????

    [Rant] On Spell Focus...

    Actually that's boring advice. It pretty much kills the thread, and we'd like to talk about the nerfing of spell focus, thank you very much, even without every last tidbit of information. Thanks. ok, bah-bye.

    [Rant] On Spell Focus...

    Ignore BiggusGeekus, Remathlis. He is wrong. Andy Collins and the rest of the IDIOTS at WoTC have already said "Feel free to use the 3.0 spell focus as long as you don't use Greater Spell Focus ". I'm like, why didn't you structure it that way in the first place? Anyway, I know my DM is...

    This is a Rant [Meta-thread]

    Responds that jonesy is wrong and that in 3.5E "dynamite" has been renamed "smoke powder party sticks" and that ONLY 12th level fire genasi with a greater spell focus in necromancy and 9 ranks in Tumble can craft them successfully, DUH. Despite the volatile response, post subtly exhibits warm...

    This is a Rant [Meta-thread]

    Responds to the very first post, completely ignoring the 5 pages of posts that followed it and hoping that somehow, my voice will be heard. Considers going back to read first 5 pages but decides not to. Makes plans to repeat post in slightly different terms if this post is not quoted and/or...

    Should adventurers be "better"?

    In a word, Yes. I can't imagine running a PC with "10" in every ability score. Or even some combination of 8, 10 and 12. That's BORING!

    Problems at the gaming table

    If the party is dungeon-conservative and "Gus" is dungeon-bold then a) the party, in-character, needs to tell Gus to get on the bus (ha, ha). Essentially the party will tell Gus to "get lost, you are a liability". If he doesn't like it, the wizard should cast charm or the cleric should cast...
