    Who Else Thinks This Dude Is Hot?

    His facial hair is ridiculous, and his pants are much too short.

    Recovering from a Trip Attack

    The Spring Attack wording is changed in later printings of the 3.5 PHB to fix that problem, actually. Edit: Hypersmurf beat me to the punch.

    Alternate Grappling Rules?

    Here's the rules I use. I got them from a forum somewhere and modified them for D&D. I think they're pretty simple compared to the normal special maneuver rules.

    Your favorite alternate D&D magic system?

    Psionics. The system is actually pretty easy to adapt to use the normal SRD spells, which is a plus.

    Orbs vs. Evocations II- with level by level data

    Well, looking at the 16th level example, the orbs have a 94% chance to hit. If the target has cover and you're shooting into melee, the orb would have a 54% chance to hit, which would bring the average orb damage down to 56.7, and the ratio between the conjuration and evocation effects to 1.58.

    Fallout d20

    It uses the d20 Modern rules without alteration? So their Fallout game has classes? Ewww.

    Fallout d20

    They might have changed the ability score system in some way, such as making it so that ability scores range from -4 to +4, as True20 does.

    Do familiars advance in skills and feats?

    Looks like they don't.

    Is a Wizard a better buffer then a cleric?

    I would say that a cleric is better at buffing himself, while a wizard has better party buffs, such as haste.

    Level Loss

    Where do you find a rule stating that the Hit Die loss isn't mandatory? It looks like its stating what happens, not what you can choose to do. I also don't see how a creature with 1 HD doesn't fall into the category of "creatures with 1 HD or less". It sure looks like you can lose racial Hit...

    Level Loss

    He can gain a level in any class he meets the requirements and prerequisites for, just like any other time a character gains a level. If a minotaur was rasied 5 times, he would be an ECL 3 character, having 1 racial hit die and a level adjustment of +2. I'm not sure what would happen when he...

    Pixies

    I had a pixie in a game I ran. It was a problem character. The lack of hit points combined with the damage reduction, spell resistance, and invisibility meant that the character either took no damage or was killed in every fight. I wouldn't allow a pixie character again.

    Drop Trap Sense from the Barbarian in exchange for...?

    Its because of Conan. He is frequently depicted as having much better Reflexes than his allies, and often dodges traps that kill other people. Hence, the barbarian has trap sense.

    How is the warlock not overpowered?

    That's the second-to-last sentence in the Weapons and Armor section.

    How is the warlock not overpowered?

    The reason most people don't think its overpowered is because its a pretty weak class. If you've seen it in a low-level game, you've seen the peak of its power; the warlock is most competitive at 1st level, when it deals as much damage as the wizard. Starting at 2nd level, it falls farther and...

    Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #4 is Up

    It looks like they've eliminated the off-hand. If that two attack routine the trando has is Two-Weapon Fighting, he's adding his full Strength bonus to the attack with his off hand, and his off hand has the same attack bonus as his primary hand.

    The mercenary probably just has a typo. The preview statistics have been riddled with them so far.

    Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #4 is Up

    The very fast Reflex Defense scaling will produce an odd effect where medium attack bonuses classes can hit just fine at 1st level (only 5% less often), but will generally miss at higher levels, hitting 25% less often than full attack bonus classes. It looks like they're aiming for full attack...

    Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #4 is Up

    I'm curious how they're going to deal with grenades and similar weapons after the elimination of saving throws. If they want to cleave to the old system, I suppose the grenade will just have its own attack bonus that it uses against the Reflex Defense of creatures in the area. Non-heroic...
