I have all of the d20 Rokugan books. They are very good for the most part. You do have to beware of bad editing though in the early books. There are a lot of typos and episodes of bad math particularly in Creatures of Rokugan and Way of the Samurai. Creatures' attack and save bonuses frequently...

I am still holding out hope that the Rangers will make the playoffs. Tzarevitch

Honestly I don't give xp for traps period. Your reward for dealing with the trap is that it doesn't get you first. Personally I fail to see why a magical trap is supposed to give xp but a symbol or a glyph or a firetrap produced from the spell and behaves exactly the same way doesn't. But then...

Thank God. A voice of reason. Tzarevitch

Last time I tried to E-Mail AEG (admittedly it was some time ago) I didn't get a reply. I figured if I posed my question here, even if AEG doesn't respond, someone else might. Tzarevitch

Does anyone know what Secrets of the ________ Clan book will be released for d20 Rokugan next and when? Thanks, Tzarevitch

I have too. The description (as poorly written as it is) seems to leave out both spellcasting and feats. If they intended for it to be able to cast spells, they would've stated so specifically, after all, the most frequent use is to make a simulacrum of the mage himself. One of the most...

This is another one on my list of spells that could use some clarification. I always interpreted the description to say that it cannot cast spells. The description states with some specificity what a simulacrum does get and spellcasting and feats are not among them. Tzarevitch

If you are looking for a low-magic feel, it really needs to be low psionics as well. In 3e, functionally psionics=magic under a different name, even if you use the "psionics are different" model. Believe me, I tried in a Dark Sun campaign. Another thing I have learned is that psionics are NOT...

Compleat Strategist is definately the place to go. It doesn't have used games that I am aware of but it does have a lot of out of print stuff. as of the last time I visited, I could still find out of print Dark Sun adventures and Mystara, Hollow World stuff. Tzarevitch

The easiest method to deal with archers is block line of sight: Cover and Concealment are the easiest. Strangely, by the rules, concealment is better because it gives a %miss chance. Cover just grants an AC bonus that most archers can overcome. NPCs as a general rule should always take...

Honestly, the Shadow _____ series of spells are some of the most poorly written spells in the PHB. You are correct in that it works ok with regard to shadow evocations that do directed damage like Shadow Evocation fireballs and lightning bolts. Problems arise with emulating other evocation...

Oops, I forgot about Borys. Near the end of the campaign the Sorcerer Kings held a conclave and decides that Rajaat's prison wasn't secure. They couldn't agree as to who should take charge and use the Dark Lens to become the new warden of the prison. In a rare show of agreement they decided...

Bah. I finished my DS campaign about a year ago. In my campaign, all of the Sorcerer-Kings took the standard precautions that any other mage/psion would take to hedge against his own death. Almost every last one of the "dead" kings was alive and well and conducting plans for world domination in...

600-700gp???? Are you out of your mind? All Jubei did was tie his weapon to himself with a length of fishing wire so he could pull it back if needed. Any character can do that trick with a spool of a couple of feet of the strongest available fishing line for the setting. If you can catch...

Assuming what I have heard is true, I will almost certainly change my game over ASAP. I'd change earlier if I could get some positive confirmation about what the changes definately will be. Many of the changes I have heard about are ones I have been begging for since 3e came out. I house-ruled...

I am pretty sure that the name came from "The Inferno", not from the philosopher. Tzarevitch

Here are some answers off the top of my head. I have used the spell occasionally in 3e. My cleric of helm used to use it a lot when I used to play living city because it was one of the few ways to protect against certain spells. Answer 1: If I remember correctly there is no save. You need to...

BEST MODULES: Dead Gods (Planescape), Doors to the Unknown (Planescape), Cities of Bone (Al Qadim), Return to the Tomb of Horrors. WORST MODULES: Deva Spark (Planescape), Something Wild (Planescape), Doomgrinder, Sword of Roele (Birthright), Keep on the Borderlands, any module with the name...
