    Why is the Extra Rings feat designated an Item Creation feat?

    It has a requirement of not only Forge Ring, but also 12th caster level. That seems like a pretty good level requirement to me. I can see what your saying about allowing wizards and artificers to pick it as one of their bonus feats, but, . . . I don't know.

    Why is the Extra Rings feat designated an Item Creation feat?

    The title pretty much says it. Why is the Extra Rings feat designated an Item Creation feat? I always thought that Item Creation feats had to do with creating magic items. The only thing this one does is allow you to wear two extra rings. Please, can someone tell me why I should not change...

    You do know that you linked to the Errata page, not the Frostburn gallery page?

    OK we know the Sorcerer is Broken, How would you fix him

    I allow my players to use the BoEMII variant sorcerer with a free Eschew Materials feat and Thematic Spell feat, but they don't get a familar until 2nd level. Seems to work so far,doesn't seem to be overpowering the wizard in the group.

    Does anyone else think D&D 4th edition should be more like 2nd edition

    Number 1: Gygax lost control when 2nd Ed. was created. Number 2: Gygax's rules were getting more and more crazy before he lost control. I started back when 1st Ed. came out, and, in my honest opinion, D & D has been improving ever since.

    tell me about your non-D&D campaign (a semi-poll)

    I'm currently trying to reconstruct my Hero system based X-Com: UFO Defense campaign (open to suggestions regarding different systems: D20 Modern, D20 Future - I don't know whether these or others would be better).

    D&D 3.x Please Explain Difference Between 3.0 and 3.5 XP Awards.

    In 3.0, you added all characters levels together then divided by 4, that was the groups level, that was compared to a chart (with the CR) and all characters got the same amount of XP. In 3.5, you compare each characters level to the chart (with the CR) and that amount is divided by the...

    Chaotic. Not Silly.

    How do you feel about 3e's art style?

    My only real problem with 3e art would have to be more of a style problem. Overly skinny characters (Mialee ?!?), the crappy sketch style in the PHB, things like that just drive me nuts. But, I may be just stuck in the past with my favorite drawings by Easley/Caldwell and the like.

    D&D 3.x Psionics 3 vs 3.5 questions

    I have both books and if you are playing in a 3.5 campaign, then you want the XPH, not the PsiHB. The new book has a much cleaner mechanic than the older book. My PsiHB is a space holder on my shelf while the XPH is being used in my campaign right now. My advice would be to get the new book and...

    Weapon Finesse and Intuitive Attack

    No, you can't do both because they do the same thing (use an ability score in place of Strength) just with different abilities. It would have to be one or the other, not both.

    Abandoned Magic Guild [My Players Stay Out]

    I like big wizard's guilds myself, so I would use the first map as the above ground tower and place the second map under it as the real guild halls (upper floors are rooms and offices, lowest floor is the labs and studies and libraries. YMMV

    Good ideas for guards?

    The warden is a Tarterian Dargon, huh? Then the guards are his/her children, half-Tarterian dragons/half-khaastas (khaastas are in Fiend Folio pg. 115). Well, just my two cents. YMMV.

    No, its in Book of Eldritch Might 2 or the Complete Book of Eldritch Might.

    Handling the Leadership Feat

    A character who selects the Leadership feat gets a cohort and followers. Followers generally should stay behind while the cohort comes with the party. (That's the way I handle it for the bard in the group I DM for.) YMMV.

    Freeport and Eberron

    Minor warning about Freeport. There is a definite CoC (Lovecraft) undercurrent in Freeport. The serpent god Yig, the Unspeakable One (Hastur the Unspeakable), the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign (Hastur worshippers), and the wizards guild was founded by worshippers of the Crawling Chaos (I can't...

    How would you decide this?

    In my campaigns, (DM for 25+ years) if a player left in the middle of a session with their character sheet then that character would get nothing (as per the PHB, if your not there, you get nothing). I have had characters die in the first round (oops, gotta hate those crits) but they were there...

    Gary Gygax and ???...

    That would be true torment for me! Anyone else, not the meanest killer DM of all!

    What 'type' is the Druid's Animal Companion?

    Based on my reading of the 3.5e PHB, the animal companion is still counted as an animal. A Wild Shaped druid? Not an animal, at all! YMMV
