    my what a dashing entrance.

    Um, you didn't expect that? A countdown all day, and you didn't figure that the tens of thousands of people hovering over their mousepads, waiting for the thing to hit 0, wouldn't crash the servers with their simul-clicks? 'Course, expecting that to happen didn't stop me from doing it too ... :\

    Druid Shapeshifting from PHBII and other questions

    Multiple magical effects that increase size don't stack.

    Overland Travel modifiers

    I would say that all negative multipliers stack. And that the mounted ranger *can* supply all of their food without slowing the group, but that this means that he is riding around by himself hunting & gathering for much of the day, then rejoining the group; so any wandering monsters encountered...

    Insightful Strike

    A finesse weapon is one that you can use your Dex bonus to melee attack rolls with if you have the Weapon Finesse feat. So, in the PHB list, light weapons, rapiers, and spiked chains.

    Summon Nature's Ally

    Actually, as written, only Protection From Evil, oddly enough ... Protection From Evil: "Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creature to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded...

    Talented feat and overchanneling

    ... unless your psicrystal is holding an extra focus for you. Of course, it costs another feat to be able to do that.

    Travel Domain Does NOT Equal Freedom of Movement

    Which, now that it's put that way, actually helps keep the domain ability from sucking for many clerics. "I'm grappled? Hah! I slip away with my freedom of movement domain ability?" "Sorry--that's already been used up for the day." "What? When?" "The first fourteen rounds after you put on your...

    favored class cleric or sorcerer

    Thanks, I think ... So far I've found the Raptorans from RotW, and Wild Elves from MMI. And, you know, kobolds. :uhoh:

    favored class cleric or sorcerer

    Looking for LA +0 races with one of these as a favored class. Nothing pops to mind ... Does anyone else have ideas? Thanks,

    Druid: High powered, Low Level

    An often-overlooked advantage of summoning spells is the damage they absorb for you. Every hit point the bad guys apply to the temporary effect is a hit point not being taken by you or your allies, which is worthwhile even if they're not hitting back that hard. I found myself using them more and...

    Hexes are cool!

    Since a large creature takes up three hexes under the hex grid rules, this would keep the system consistent.

    Hexes are cool!

    I've always had a slight preference for hexes over square grids in general, but I'd never actually seen them in play until I joined my current group. It's really grown on me ... It does take some getting used to, and there are a lot of conventions defined by squares that need to be re-worked for...

    Vicious weapon property

    Beat me to it, wolfpunk. Our party's Frenzied Berserker had this on his greatclub. Ugly, ugly, ugly ... I think I'd actually recommend to DMs working out which expansion elements to include in their game, to pick one of these to ban. (And I can easily guess which they'd choose. :) )

    Starting gold for your PCs

    My standard is to start characters at 2nd level, with starting gold equal to the maximum 1st-level roll possible for their class (or for either of their classes, if multi-classed). So a Ftr2 would have 240 GP, a Mnk2 20 GP, and a Ftr1/Mnk1 240 GP. I also then assign one or two minor items of my...
