    Scouts

    Nod, I'd thought of that. I was trying to build a multi into Paladin, but I think I'll just make a ranger instead. :) Thanks

    Grond the Mighty (aka, my girlfriend's art thread)

    Your stuff is great. :)

    Scouts

    Is there a feat that allows you to maintain scout abilities while wearing medium or heavy armor?

    Celestials vs. Half-Celestials: Why are halvsies twice as powerful?

    As a clarification question, I've noticed that some creature types with LAs get skill points, hit points, and BAB as part of their starting package. I'm not quite clear on the skill point section for half-celestials. Do they get 4 HD's worth of skill points, or do they just start to gain HD...

    Celestials vs. Half-Celestials: Why are halvsies twice as powerful?

    Ok, that makes more sense. Thanks.

    Celestials vs. Half-Celestials: Why are halvsies twice as powerful?

    I was looking at the LA for the celestial and half-celestial, and it struck me as odd that creating a full-fledged celestial is a +2 LA, while creating a halvsie is a +4. Halvsies get all sorts of abilities that their "more potent" brethren don't, and I can't figure out why. Also, as an...

    Intelligent Items as PCs

    Anyone have any experience with this? How do you handle balance issues/leveling? Is it even plausible?

    Magic Item Compendium

    Huh. So is it then saying that as long as the effect you're adding falls under the "common item effect" category, there is no 1.5 multiplier?

    Magic Item Compendium

    Hrm. I found another rules contradiction (update?). In the DMG, when you add a secondary effect to an existing magical item (such as adding the Boots of Speed qualities to existing Boots of Striding and Springing), the added effect costs 1.5 times the normal price. (18000 instead of 12000)...

    Magic Item Compendium

    I also got the MIC. Overall, I think it's a fantastic book, but I'm not too enthused about the new treasure generation table. Mainly because it's crazy easy, takes a fraction of the time and limits the number of dice I get to roll. I no longer get to roll up 30 art objects. It's...

    We'll both be gaming.

    That's how I screen for telemarketers and spam. Noone but my credit card company and insurance actually calls me Kathryn.

    2007 Judge Selection

    Strong Points: I've been working with the ENnies for over a year now, so I'm familiar with how the process works. But since I've never been a judge before, this gives me a fresh perspective. I'm an avid gamer in a gaming household, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to the ENnies. I give...

    2007 Judge Selection

    I love it. Some of my favorite games are out of print, and I truly appreciate any little tidbits that people produce for them. I'd go back and read the core book(s) before evaluating the product. In my opinion, a supplement shouldn't rely on any books but the core. If I have to go back and...

    How do you personally evaluate flavor text? Is it well written? Is it applicable to the surrounding text? Does it compliment or detract from what the book is trying to say? How do you plan to evalute writing when applied to game mechanics? I look for clear, concise, and understandable...

    2007 Judge Selection

    I don't. Even if there were some nominations that I disagreed with, it was the public that made them winners. Nope.

    2007 Judge Selection

    :heh: The only new WW product I've gotten a chance to actually play is Exalted. I only have the old WoD books. (for now). That's a toughie. But I'd say a Narrativist. I get the most enjoyment out of creating a really good story when gaming. If I have to walk there and sleep in a...

    I didn't. I just finished being a poor college student, so I generally do a lot of research into a product before I plunk down the cash for it.
