    Kickstarter: Demons & Devils Miniatures

    It was probably set assuming a high amount of stretch goals, some sort of tracking service to reduce "lost" shipments and needing a decent deal of packing material to make sure the resin minis are safely cushioned. CSM did give free shipping as an early adopter bonus. They decided not to chance...

    Need White Dragon image help

    IIRC the official 1E white dragon illo was just the head and neck with the jaws open. Biggest, fullest 1E pic of a white dragon was Larry Elmore's cover for Dragonlance's Dragons of Ice. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma3fqylZnF1qet6pno1_1280.jpg

    Pathfinder 1E Opinions please on these two player created magical items.

    The rules also stipulate custom items are to be compared to preexisting magic items to determine what they should cost. Magic Item Gold Piece Values Many factors must be considered when determining the price of new magic items. The easiest way to come up with a price is to compare the new item...

    AD&D 1st edition and 2nd edition differences?

    A big change was 1E gave out less XP for killing monsters and had the bulk of come from gaining treasure. 2E boosted XP for monsters, pushed the notion of story awards and made XP for treasure optional {IIRC it was even suggested against doing so]. This change turned wandering monsters from...

    Pathfinder 1E Spell Range Personal

    Scrolls and wands, no problem. Rings and wondrous items it will get tricky for. Many personal spells, are stronger because they can only be put on the caster. The GM has to compare the effect vs similar items, NOT just compute a formula off of the item pricing guidelines. A fine example is...

    Big changes a'coming! Merging the D&D forums

    He owns it, but the fan base made it what it is, for Good and Ill. Agree. These are different games. The only merger I think would be a good deal would be Pathfinder into D&D legacy since it derives directly from 3E's rules. Of course others might read more into that :hmm:, assuming somehow the...

    Need White Dragon image help

    Don't ask for scans of copyrighted material around here. Mods get testy about the word scan, even if the scanning is kept withing the bonds of fair use. Also once you do get the image, make sure to take inspiration from it and make a creation of your own. Don't just copy it directly. BTW if...

    I'm definitely curious to see what the Prince of the Undead mini will look like.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] draw a weapon

    I'm sorry, the practicalities of Real Life are not rules for 3E / 3.5E / d20 in this situation. Drawing a weapon does not provoke AoOs Sheathing a weapon however WOULD provoke an AoO. Thankfully accurate rules are freely available at a mouse click for 3.5 D&D. And other web pages offer...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] draw a weapon

    Amusing since if one just reads the OP without checking the date, it looks like the first post is addressing the new re-issue of the 3.5 PHB. Still, "What's the point of quickdraw?" comes up fairly often in my experience. Also at the very core of this topic is the issue of do RPGs worry too...

    Giants: How big should they be in an a Fantasy RPG?

    I'll admit that in my view of giants, they are more likely to be encountered above ground unless in their own strongholds. And that brings up issues of the spot skill and encounter distance...

    D&D 3.x (3.5) What can you command undead to do?

    If a door is so large opening it is a full round action, the zombie can still do it, in two rounds. Action Types An action’s type essentially tells you how long the action takes to perform (within the framework of the 6-second combat round) and how movement is treated. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...

    D&D 3.x (3.5) What can you command undead to do?

    Mindsight didn't exist yet when the allip was written up and Detect thoughts and such generally have the [Mind-Affecting] descriptor, something undead have blanket immunity to. To me it seemed like some sort of bizarre ability that was only there as a bit of flavor and a too dumb to live test...

    D&D 3.x (3.5) What can you command undead to do?

    So that's why an allip has the madness ability! Madness (Su) Anyone targeting an allip with a thought detection, mind control, or telepathic ability makes direct contact with its tortured mind and takes 1d4 points of Wisdom damage.

    Giants: How big should they be in an a Fantasy RPG?

    Agree. I especially feel there should be more enormous foes {Gargantuan / Colossal] for PCs to fight, even at lower levels. When I saw the cover of Dungeon 124 which had the default PCs fighting enormous worms on the cover, it raised my hopes since the first Age of Worms adventure was supposed...

    Giants: How big should they be in an a Fantasy RPG?

    OK! Now we are talking. That is a what a typical D&D giant ought to be IMHO. No weird skin tones, no bizzare bodytype and big enough that you might be eye level to it's kneecap. Maybe he's a bit too cut and defined, but fantasy art is no stranger to fanservice. On the other hand the current...
