    Mearls Monster Makeover: Beholder

    you need to play with a more imaginative group. part of the appeal is the trap. how to overcome it, the fear of what it will do, if it will reset, and many more. edit: learning the nuts and bolts of why it was there. who built it. and so on. part of the exploration of other skills and possible...

    Mearls Monster Makeover: Beholder

    i could say the same thing and have been about your random damage out of nowhere comment. it isn't random for the guy who designed the trap or on the metagame side the DM who designed it. it serves a purpose and was put in place for that reason whatever it may be. and there are ways to learn...

    Has the free Ars Magica pdf increased your purchases?

    Mearls Monster Makeover: Beholder

    aren't the PCs in a tomb or dungeon or a place where the possibility of a trap exists? shouldn't they be looking for traps and not getting complacent? i don't think you understand what random damage means.

    Can You Empower Claws of the Beast?

    when they added empower and the other metamagic feats to the game what spells did they have in mind. did they change the level of some of those spells from the previous editions to accomodate them being empowered/extended/etc... in playtesting is this weighed? if empower only cost 1 slot and...

    I complain about the current MSRP of RPGs all the time...
