    The moment of fragmentation

    What on earth possibly led you to believe that 3e was some "unification" effort? That's completely opposite the very ideal that 3e was written around! The reason 3e was made was to DIVERSIFY, not to unify. Thus the SRD. That's why it's "Open Content" - so that anyone and their cousins can...

    The moment of fragmentation

    Oh waaa. Did you play D&D 2nd edition? If not then perhaps you were unaware that there was more deviation from game to game than with the conversion to 3.5. You had the core books, class books, race books, kit books, skills and powers books, supplement magic ruleset books, alternate game...

    Standing up from prone and AoO

    Well, I would assume that it would occur just before the "standing" action is completed. When a mage casts a spell, the AoO goes off before the spell does, thus possibly preventing the casting all together. Also, when readying an action, the readied action explicitly takes place just /before/...

    For time immemorial!

    Converting Rangers from 3.0 to 3.5

    A Ranger in my group re-rolled HPs. He GAINED around 15 HPs. His initial rolls were something along the lines of: 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 4, 3. :)

    So once you become an outsider ...

    If anyone from the Material Plane travels to another plane, they are considered "Outsiders" while on that plane and can all be banished - reguardless of class or type.

    WOTC Business Strategy and miniatures

    Re: Re: Re: WOTC Business Strategy and miniatures Then who do you think buys minis? Why are gamestores the only places to BUY minis? Who do you think Reaper minis get sold to? The gamer market. I would say that it's the RPG gamer market that keeps Reaper in business. That's alot of people...

    WOTC Business Strategy and miniatures

    Exactly! :) In my (somewhat pathetic) defense, I was at work and getting /paid/ to whine. Everyone needs a hobby, eh? ;)

    WOTC Business Strategy and miniatures

    Oh waa. I regularly use unpainted minis of whatever when I run my game. Players tend to get a single mini that does a good job of representing them, and I use the Creature Collections, or old broken Warhammer figures. I have 2 broken minotaur minis that I've used for nearly every Large...

    Do your characters have phobias?

    A long running character in my campaign is afraid of heights, snakes, and is also a deep sleeper. That last one has caused trouble several times. All of these stem from the old Skills and Powers ruleset back in the day. He's the only mage I've ever seen who refused to learn any "Fly" type...

    WOTC Business Strategy and miniatures

    Re: re Well, after having to convert feet to squares for so long, it's time for the other side to do some math. Just to assist you, 1 Square = 5 Feet. I trust you'll use this information cautiously, and not get too careless passing it around. It's actually quite the secret.

    WOTC Business Strategy and miniatures

    Apparently many people who post on message boards have some inherent need to whine and complain about /everything/. Just look around here for people going on and on about a book they don't even have to buy. Or you can go to Games Workshop's WH 40k forums...

    Gotta get this off my chest...

    Why are people complaining so much about this whole mini thing? I'm sure a large percentage of people already used minis. On top of that, WOTC only used to be the only company producing minis. Now there are two or maybe three companies that make them. Oh wait, there's LOTS of companies that...

    Help! Our group needs a name.

    We had a party of similar composition. We were called "Three Dudes and a Cleric". Very cool name. Had five party members, and two clerics. That made the name even funnier. :)

    3.5 is now out in Florida

    If I can ask, where in TN have you found it? I've called around and I can't find it, and the distributor won't release it until Friday....

    D&D 3.x [3.5] New Scry rules?

    Can someone who has the new books give me some details on the new Scry spell? Exactly how does the DC calculation and the Will saves work? Any help would be appreciated, and good Karma will be beamed your way immediately! Thanks!

    Say NO to 3.5

    I was refering to the original post, not Monte's post. No, that's not what he said at all. Here's what he said: First, he doesn't include a link to Monte's review, which is a minor point. Then he goes on to say that people who buy 3.5 "...should be smart enough to realize that WOTC doesn't...

    Say NO to 3.5

    Even though I realize that the original poster is just fishing with Troll food, I don't really have much else better to do right now. So why not toss a few bags myself? ;) So, why is it that people who don't like 3.5 (or anything in general, there's tons of whiny protestors) feel a need to...
