    Book of Nine Swords - Coolest Manuver?

    Time Stands Still - Diamond Mind (Strike) - Warblade 9 As a full round action, take two full attack actions. :eek: Added to Dancing Blade Form - Iron Heart (Stance) - Warblade 5 Add 5 feet to your weapon reach. :cool: Attack lots of people within 10 feet of you. Can you say mook muncher...

    Elves or Dwarves?

    Illumians rule! Down with the old races! Now is the time for the new races to rise up against the oppressive dominace of these old fading races. They have had their time, now they should go away. It is time for the Illumian race to rise to their rightful dominace! :lol:

    Why Psionics is broken and what to do to fix it

    The problem lies in the fact that you see a problem in the unlimited scaling and the others don't. If a problem can not be agreed upon, how can they help you fix it? How many encounters per rest period does your GM throw at your group? How experienced are the rest of the players in your...

    Improving amount of skill points a good idea?

    I give +2 skill points per level for the 20 level classes only and a feat at every odd level instead of at levels divided by three. I have been doing this for a year now with my current campaign and I have had no problems.

    Whatever happened to Primus - the One & the Prime?

    He was killed by Orcus. A new Primus is in charge, but the modrons have retreated into the depths of their plane. WotC is not using them anymore.

    How often do you reset?

    I choose under 20, but I can only count two campaigns for that. All of my gaming before 2003 was in the US Navy and I had to reset every few years (if not more often) due to players moving away or my having to move. :( That was the worst part about gaming in the military. All the blasted...

    The Shadowcaster -weak?

    It isn't designed as a direct combat type. It uses a more tricksy style to defeat its enemies.

    Why does Mars always rebel?

    Warhammer 40K breaks that pattern. There is always one. :lol:

    Saving the Samurai?

    Could you explain to me what the flavor for the OA Samurai had to do with those crappy mechanics? That was just about the lamest thing I have ever seen. It is nothing more than a fighter with new flavor and one feat pre-chosen from the Book of Exalted Deeds. :( P.S. - Not trying to pick on...

    Do you use miniatures/tokens in your D&D game?

    I agree with this. I have been doing this since 1978. PS: You missed an option for those of us who are opportunists when it comes to markers.

    Flaws

    I allow them in my game and I haven't seen any problems with them. The GM must remember to bring them up in game every so often. If the GM doesn't, then the player has gained a freebie and it is the GM's fault.

    RPGs & the Armed Forces - a liability?

    May I just say, you don't know how scary it is to have 30 - 40 bored sailors find out that you are a GM while the ship is at sea doing circles. :lol: I never had a problem with rules-lawyers on that ship. Anyone who tried to argue was reminded that they could be replaced in about 30 seconds...

    D&D Technology

    I don't have a problem with unarmed fighters as such. I have a problem with the crappy wuxia monk in the PHB. On topic, I use Eberron to represent one of the empires in my homebrew campaign. Magic is technology, if you think about it. Or is it the other way around? :lol:

    If a DM says, "Anything goes in my campaign" (Pure RAW) What is your initial opinion?

    I actually play in just such a game. One of my players is gamemastering a game and he doesn't refuse any 3.5 (or non-reprinted 3.0) books. It is a little overwhelming to me, but he seems to be handling it fine. Even with the celestial channelling cleric running around with the Divine Metamagic...

    Order of the Stick 316

    Each comic has its own letter substitution. This one translates to (as was said earlier) "Happy New Year".

    Errata on Leap Attack

    If you have +6 BAB and you Power Attack with a two-handed weapon, your normal bonus damage is +12. Using Leap Attack with the above, it would seem (and I would rule, barring clarifications from WotC) that you deal +24 (+12 + 100% of that). Ouch.

    Skill Pts idea: all gain +2/lvl, all lose -1/lvl after 1st

    Instead of removing ranks, why not apply a penalty instead? That way you never lose the minimum ranks for a PrC and it would be easier to set a retraining system to remove the penalty.

    Complete Psioinc...now we've had time...

    The divine mind is working pretty good. My only problem with the book is the fact that the Mantles are not connected to the Domains very well. It makes it hard to assign them to the various gods in my homebrew. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to work it out.

    magic of incarnum save DCs

    Incarnates have a higher max essentia capacity than others do, also there are feats that expand some of the capacity limits. Most soulmelds don't really need save DCs since they don't effect enemies directly. IMO, save DCs are too low (not just in Magic of Incarnum) in general, but I hope the...
