I've ran a campaign set in the Principalities, where the PCs were all pirates. Well, actually, I ran half of it twice, with one player the same between the groups, since it fell apart halfway through the first time due to group stuff. Essentially, the idea for the campaign was that the PCs were...

That is pretty wonky, and not something I've seen before. You happen to have another AC adapter of the right power specs sitting around? That would be the first thing I'd check.

Nifft's spell selections are good, though I'd go with Heal over Hero's Feast for the 6th level slot. My solution to the uselessness of the Healing domain was to change the granted power. Instead of just giving +1 to the caster level of all healing spells, it increases your die type by one for...

Basically, you have to find some way to shift them from 'monsters' to 'bad people'. It helps if they're important to the setting and the characters in some way, so that they don't just get slaughtered. I'd consider having them be one of the primary mercantile powers of the setting, especially...

I'm playing in one right now. We're all githzerai, working on retaking the gith homeworld. Unfortunately, the entire planet is a wild magic zone, so everybody is psionic. We're gestalt as well, so the group has some fairly strange characters running around. There are a few gith subraces, as...

Back in the early days of 3e, my dwarven druid had a raven as one of his animal companions. It was mostly used as a messanger and scout, since I could use it for a couple of my spells to make it really good at those jobs. It just so happened that the party sorcerer had a raven as well, as his...

You know, I always assumed the nagpas WERE a direct translation of the critters from Dark Crystal, with the serial numbers filed off. I always played them as such.

We've always operated under the assumption that the damage from the Vicious weapon was untyped damage, and couldn't be negated with any resistances. I would certainly say that if it was, by some combination of powers or something, that the weapon's extra damage wouldn't apply either.

What level are you going to be playing at? I've always been tempted to play a dwarven Paladin/Fighter/Dwarven Defender character at some point - I think that would be one of the beefiest core-only tanks you could play. Fighter gets you the tower shield proficiency and a nice chunk of bonus...

The Courtier class from AEG's Rokugan book fits with what you're describing perfectly.

If you take a -10 penalty to attack, the damage bonus applies to all your attacks for the round. Without any other bonuses or anything, you'd have two attacks, at +0 and -5.

That's neat. I found my car!

The Discworld books have quite a few different arcs, and which you'll like depends mostly on which characters appeal to you. My personal favorites have always been the Watch books. This series starts with "Guards! Guards!", then "Men at Arms", "Feet of Clay", "Jingo", "Thud!", and "Night...

I don't think it's the same thing. Primarily, the difference is in the cooperative vs competitive nature of the two games - there's just a fundamental difference in the way they're approached. Of note - I stopped playing Magic years ago, around the Urza's block. Some of what I have to say...

According to TWF, the longest feat chain of this type I'm aware of, the progression is Normal, Improved, Greater, Perfect. I seem to recall Superior occasionally showing up between Greater and Perfect, though I'm not sure where.

For the Eberron one-shot I did, I had the following group. Human Wizard, dragonmarked of House Medani Warforged Fighter/Juggernaught, the wizard's bodyguard Human Artificer, relic-hunter Kalashtar Psychic Warrior Shifter Ranger/Rogue, a bounty hunter for House Tharashk Half-Orc Druid, of the...

I think Redcloak is going to intentionally get Xykon killed, which is going to make it much harder for Evil to win - after all, all those undead are under Xykon's conrol, and without him, they're going to be free-willed. I can see it degenerating into a melee between the undead and the...

Or, strangely, an artificer.

My homebrew has a region like this, where anyone not magically protected will slowly start gaining animal features, eventually becoming a wyldling. You have to bargain with the Sidhe to get the protection, which is often dangerous. They're in charge of the region, though they didn't create the...

Go buy Planescape: Torment. Play it. You will not regret it.
