    2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor - Round 6

    I guess the answer to that would be both. There's nothing in either book that I particularily like (it's all blah to me) or be interested in enough to pay money to have a copy. "Oh look, neat location with game mechanics that allow you to rewrite your character!" Whee. Maybe I'd have been more...

    2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor - Round 6

    When we get to the final round, instead of voting one product off, can we vote two of them off? Seriously. There's not a single product on this list that I've ever even been tempted to buy.

    SW saga edition overview at WotC

    As I understand it, you probably could use stat blocks from the RCR and your players most likely wouldn't notice... that's what I got out of the Q&A session and the various information and Q&A threads on the Wizards boards and SWRPGNetwork. Some game mechanics are going to change or need to be...

    How would you classify "Good by any means neccessary"

    I would classify them as Neutral Evil, actually.

    True Sorcery Question

    What I would do is something more along the lines of a feat that adds +x to Magic Use skill, solely for the purpose of determining casting times. You can make +x fairly large (+10?), because this is the only benefit the feat grants. You can even add a variant of this to the True Sorcerer's...

    So why no Dungeons and Dragons: Online threads?

    Except for two quests, I've soloed my Warforged up to level 6. Despite there being no "official" solo difficulty setting for most quests, I've managed to solo a lot of them. It was a bit time consuming, and mildly frustrating at times, and hard on the virtual coin purse, but it is doable.

    Warped Star Wars Minis Help

    The Star Wars minis have a different softening agent in the plastic mix, but a blowdryer should still work. Just remember to keep the area you're doing this in well-ventilated; the gasses hot plastic emits are toxic. I just now straightend out a badly warped Droid Control Ship in about 5-6...

    How dungeons have changed in Dungeons and Dragons

    I've noticed a lot of references to A3 -> A4. Please remember that the Slavers series, like many of the 1st Edition official adventures, were GenCon Tournament modules. That's why there's the railroaded events that take you from one module to the next in the A1-4 compilation. That's why even...

    DM's: Are you afraid to kill PC's because of how players might react?

    Rules for replacing characters, with XP grants and magic items appropriate to the replacement level, yes. Players are encouraged to write "wills" for their characters, in case of death and the inability to raise or resurrect, including instructions on what happens in the period between dying...

    Why do skill points only come in even numbers?

    What do you mean, you can only put half-ranks in a cross class skill? You can put whole ranks in, easily. Take a 2nd level Fighter... if he doesn't have any ranks in Tumble, he could put in 2 skill points and get one full rank of Tumble. If he had four free skill points, he could put them ALL...

    So why no Dungeons and Dragons: Online threads?

    Turbine's In-Game Customer Service department is severely overloaded, and has been ever since the Auction House was implemented. If there are any links to the out-of-game CS department, and there usually are in an MMORPG, that would be the explanation for the delay in getting an answer. To be...

    Long periods of downtime in genre novels

    Read the Black Company series by Glen Cook. There is a lot of downtime in those novels, some of it is shown, some of it is only alluded to. The books altogether span about 20-25 years, if I remember correctly. And it's definitely an Epic fantasy, it's just not High fantasy.

    What do you find most Magical about 3E/3.5 art?

    I find the amount of pointless buckles and straps to be amazing. As well, all the asymmetric armor that doesn't look functional and the clothing that looks like it was designed for an S/M fetish. It's sheer magic the way the picture of the displacer beast is supposed to represent a living...

    How dungeons have changed in Dungeons and Dragons

    Basically, if all you're doing is dungeon-delving, then the campaign is going to be pretty boring after a while. "If this is Tuesday, we must be in Undermountain." Also, a campaign feels more like a real world if there is more to the world than just the dungeon and the nearest town/city. In...

    18 int, 6 wis, 6 chr Warforged. Roleplaying tips?

    The reason HK-47 doesn't fit is because he has a strong personality. A bit abrasive, perhaps, but definitely not wishy-washy or insecure. Low wisdom, low charisma, high intelligence suggests to me someone who takes things literally, does not understand irony or sarcasm, and has little willpower...

    When Adventure Designers Cheat

    Is there a real, reasonable story reason for the so-called 'rule-breaking' effect/object? If so, I don't have a problem with it. If not, then I do have a problem with it. In the case of the Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun, there's a very very good reason that there's an area of impossible...

    A Riddle: Feedback Wanted

    Okay, without reading the spoilers or the rest of the thread: Put the two 'broken' blocks together. Then cast invisibility on the other block or see if it can be moved or hidden.

    How did WoW dethrone Everquest?

    Two things: One: a much faster power curve, allowing more casual players to feel as if they've 'mastered' the game. Two: A massive, global advertising campaign. Seriously.
