Just finished Kavalier and Clay... Excellent book.

Ok thanks, I guess Bleak Seasons is next on my reading list. Its been a couple of years since I read Dreams of Steel, hopefully that won't detract too much.

No I haven't. I hope to start next session--Feb. 1.

Wow, as little as I thought of the two sequels as movies, the visual effects outrank many of the movies nominated in my mind.

Absolutely! Oh, and anyone scared away by "mammoth series" please realize that Erikson is making clear efforts for each of his novels to be an "arc" and stand alone. Of course a lot is gained by reading them in order, etc. I'm such an Erikson freak that I paid an outrageous price for a copy of...

I'd recommend Steven Erikson's novels to any big fans of the Black Company. The first novel (Gardens of the Moon) honestly can drag a bit in places and can be a bit confusing, but stick with it, it's worth it--the second novel, Deadhouse Gates, is absolutely amazing. It details a military...

Heh, it still hasn't started in Japan. For weeks I've been planning to attend the Feb. 7 late night week early preview they do in Japan, or to catch it opening day on Feb. 14. Irony of ironies, about a week ago I was asked to attend a company meeting in the Bahamas starting Feb. 8, but I will...

I've asked my players to come up with a buff suite that is SOP with some basic variations so they don't have to argue over who gets barkskin and who gets bull's strength three times a session. I've yet to see if it will work.

Thanks Mixmaster! Not sure why my searches weren't turning it up.

I guess I'm an idiot but I just CAN'T find the minatures entry pack on amazon. Can anyone paste it here?

Amores Perros

Perhaps you guys could agree on a middle ground... A significant penalty to tumble checks when flying in the range of -5 to -10.

It seems like you could adapt the dwarven racial levels on Monte Cook's site into something appropriate, as it strikes me as natural that the choosen of Moradin would become more dwarvish, a paragon of his race. http://www.montecook.com/images/Racial_levels.pdf

Hmmm, ok so the movement bonus and stat changes are the only additional difference from actually being small.

Interesting... What about concentration checks for a caster hit with magic missile? X concentration checks or roll the damage into one and have one big concentration check?

I asked about this in an earlier thread. Yes, there is no clear consensus as to the meaning of the phrase "While the wearer is in a wild shape, the armor cannot be seen." Personally, and I do have a Druid with Wild armor in my campaign, I do assume that it is still there and that he has to deal...

Yeah? Cost of materials is generally 1/4th of a magic items value and is normally included. So wow only 825gp for the hide of a GARGANTUAN dragon.

"It has a name! Isn't that facinating, Khajom?! This has significant implications with regards to the meta-cognitive level of the creature! Awareness of self, social structures... Hmmm... yes." Pyior excitedly wipes his bloody hands off on his robe and starts scribbling in his journal.

If Reduce Person is cast on a medium-sized humanoid, would they gain the +4 hide bonus and the -4 grapple bonus, along with other miscelleaneous modifiers for being small? On the one hand the text of the spell seems to specifically spell out the benefits of the spell, so it may not be safe to...

Also the duration of animal growth is quite long and can last through several combats, making that huge polar bear even nastier.
