Hexes?

I have a setup in which Good and Evil are actually, in a way, balance between Law and Chaos (for Good) and discord between them (for Evil). The alignment chart looks more like a triangle than a cross. Which is why all celestials are allied, while the fiends have a "blood war" going on. And this...

Devil comes from an old Indo-European root for "god" (compare "divine", "diva", "deva", etc.); demon comes from the Greek word for "spirit". Which may be why "the Devil" is more often used than "the Demon" to refer to Satan, and why "demons" is more often used than "devils" to refer to minor...

Back when 3e was released, WotC triumphantly announced that, soon, there would be the 3e "eTools" that would allow DM and players to create characters, monsters, dungeons, etc. easily on their computer. The first printing of the PHB even included a character generator demo of eTools. ETools was...

Well, I don't know. Depends on exact abilities of the class.

Obviously, a giant communal spider web would do a lot to prevent cricket swarms.

I hope not. Forgotten Realms gnomes used to be interesting, but ever since they've replaced humans as the denizens of Lantan, they've turned into just a copy of Dragonlance tinkers. Which I hate with the fiery passion of one thousand supernovae. Eberron gnomes, that's another story. Territory...

I figured, from that video with the trolls, that they removed grapple but in exchange gave vorpal swords to everybody. 3e is depicted as a guy hugging a troll*, but 4e is depicted as an adventuring party beheading four trolls in just as many seconds. (* Seriously, has anyone ever tried to...

But... One of the alternate sources of power for your characters will be "being bitten by a radioactive girl"... :heh:

Nightmares? Au contraire! That's wonderful, and I want one like that nearby! "There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs." Oh, how sweet that music must be! I hate flies and mosquitoes so I can't dislike web-making spiders. The real...

Yeah, in function but not in form. There were no real reason why most fiends looked how they looked, and unless you knew the specific type of fiend you couldn't say, on seeing one, if it was a tanar'ri, yugoloth, baatezu, or other miscellaneous fiend family. In short, if you take a, say...

And so are Derro, Lizardfolk, and Gelatinous Cubes. Just saying.

Terry Pratchett parodied that in Discworld, where wizards learn and cast spells in the same way -- except that memorizing a spell takes several years. (Well, not all spells, actually. Some, you may even memorize them in just a brief glance, and against your will.)

Thrawn's an orc?

If they're going to finish Dragonlancing them, I'm sad to say it, but euthanasia is better.

The link is http://www.wizards.com/dnd/secretdoor.asp ... Also, the eye blinks from time to time.

The three new races: Tiefling, Drow, and Aquatic Elf. The complete racial line up will be: Human, Aquatic Elf, Drow, Dwarf, Half Orc, Elf, Half Elf, , Half Elf (Aquatic), Half Elf (Drow), Halfling, Tiefling. O wonder! How many goodly creatures there are here! O brave new world that has such...

Forked from the thread about the 4e covers, from which these two comments were taken: De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum. There's no doubt WAR is very popular, and WotC and Paizo have called him a lot lately, for magazine covers, Eberron books covers, monster illustrations, DM...

Something so that multiclassed spellcasters are on par with multiclassed swordswingers. A cleric 5/wizard 5 is a 10th-level character, but plays as a 5th-level character with extra HP and a bit more options open to him in combat, not as a 10th-level character. He's also useless against...

At least none of them are gnomes.
