This Gen Con was my first one and I have to say that I will make every effort to be there next year. It was great to meet and hang out with a lot of people here. My personal con highlights: Finding every product I wanted to buy and finding out that almost all Classic Battletech miniatures...

My intent earlier was that hallow/magic circle should keep out a summoned creature of the correct alignment (barring spell resistance of course). The only thing that can be summoned in a protected area would be creatures of the corresponding alignment. For example the party is storming the...

I really do think that a Hallow/Unhallow spells continual circle of protection effect would keep summoned creatures of the correct alignments away and prevent their summoning. This plays up the whole demons/devils can't tread on holy ground thing. I really think they dropped the ball in...

Protection from Evil and Magic Circle both only protect you from attacks from summoned *evil and neutral* creatures, a good summoned creature could attack a person warded with protection from evil. Also protection from evil does not protect you from weapon attacks by summoned creatures of any...

Invisible Stalker: Local nobles/law enforcement officers are crushed to death in their sleep. It appears that a mace or a large rock was used to kill them. The only other evidence that someone was there is the open window. There are no tracks leading away from the murder sights.

Destrachan: The villages new well is believed to be cursed. People who go off to the well alone are either found dead with blood oozing from their ears or disappear entirely.

The problem with summoners is that metamagic really doens't help them out all that much. If you extend a spell you are giving up the more powerful monsters that you really need to stay competive. The Summoner Prestiege Class from Relics and Rituals lets you apply metamagic feats to your spells...

Well I signed up to run two games yesterday. My first time running RPGA events too. Nothing like jumping in head first...but I'm excited to be running.

Consider Eschew Materials, with this feat and natural spell you should never have to worry about having a component again. Most druid spells don't have any costly material components. If you are just a Druid make sure to take Blindsight at 12th Lv. Nothing like having free 120' blindsight...

Use the vampires as a night-time recon and hit and run force. They can move nearly unseen in mist form and small forces of them can shift out and ambush the enemies scout parties. Make sure that one of your high level generals is a druid. Druids are the masters of army killing spells...

I like the fact that they are trying to make combined arms viable. In classic battletech infantry didn't really stand a chance and vehicles went down pretty easily. I don't like the fact the designing mechs won't be a function of the game any more, or the collectable aspect. Nice to know that...

The Great Houses still exist in Mechwarrior:Dark Ages, they have just been reduced in size. The Wizkids map just shows the Republic of the Sphere and not the whole Inner Sphere. You can make out the outlines of the remaining Great Houses and Clans surrounding the Republic of the Sphere...

Count me in too. I just have to make sure I don't have a geek overload trying to take in everything at GenCon...

I'm in the boat that polymorph can be used to change into the more common monsters that people may have heard of. More obscure monsters (aberrations and oozes) require some dedicated study or having seen the thing in action. Polymorph is powerful, but with the current version it isn't too over...

Why not try the Legendary Bear or Tiger from Masters of the Wild, both are still animals and can benefit from the Animal Growth spell. Both will also have more strenght than the Dire Tiger, and also a little bit better AC.

I think the topic says it all. Just wondering if any EN board people will be there. I'm planning on going for Saturday and maybe Sunday if I have a lot of fun Saturday.

It is a sad day for science and approachable scientific writing if Steven Jay Gould has passed away. My condolences to the family. For those who don't recognize the name, Steven Jay Gould was a biologist who revolutionized evolutionary theory with the concept of punctuated equilibrium. He...

B.A. Biology and Environmental Studies, minor in English. Not that the minor really counts for that much...

How about Identify? With a casting time of 8 hours it really isn't a great choice for one of your limited 1st lv spells.

I agree with Dr. Rictus, loose Power Attack for Spring Attack and then take either Opportunist or Improved Evasion as your 10th lv. Rogue ability. If you really are going for the martial rogue then take Opportunist, an extra melee attack is never anything to laugh at esp. with sneak attack.
