What happened to the "Latest Forum Topics" Links beneath the reviews and the ENstore areas along the right-hand side of the news page? I rarely look at the reviews, or, for that matter, the store. I generally only look at today's news once a day, but I reference the latest formu topics...

I concur wholeheartedly. In this case, I see no reason for the caster providing permanency and the caster providing the base spell (greater magic fang) to be one in the same. Furthermore, I would allow the caster providing GMF and even the subject to contribute XP toward the xp required for...

I'm voting English. If one is willing to accept the (silly) notion that there is only one English, and it is mutally intelligilbe to all of its speakers, then English is clearly the closest real-world analog to Common we have. There are more speakers of Chinese than there are of all of the...

Dwarves are not rude, flatulent, gluttons. Insinuation otherwise is uncalled-for. I'm sure that there is nothing wrong with elves either - not that I'd know from personal experience - but so say my forefathers whose words are law. This debate is innane. Put a stop to it. Previous versions...

oops double post

Use it in place of Sharn

There are things I've never liked about the Monster Manual vampire, e.g., energy drain slam attack, but mostly, I've long been intrigued by the idea of "vampire clans," various distinct bloodlines with distinct traits, ala Vampire, the Masquerade (I've never played, but I enjoyed the tv show and...

I bought one of these for my wife at my FLGS and discovered that the paint job leaves something to be desired. Check yours over carefully before walking out of the store or be prepared to touch up some details. The black of the lips overlapped onto the teeth while the white of the teeth also...

Before I start on it, has someone else already done the work of statting out Hamilton's vampires for D&D?

My corners were only slightly bent in, but the second bound-in satin bookmark stuck to one page and when I pulled it away, I lost a few words. I'm guessing that I'm not alone in finding that my envelope was no longer attached to the book when it arrived. It was where it was supposed to be, but...

Thanks. I love this place.

Urban Werewolves Level Adjustment Ptolus players probably oughtn't know where these critters dwell, hence the spoiler block: When I first tried to run the Banewarrens, one of the PCs became infected by one of the lycanthropes working for house Vladaam. I emailed Monte to ask about an...

I voted "I like to push buttons" because a) it's true and b) I think that uninformed voters should either 1) get informed or 2) not vote. Then, I read another thread and I considered the issue a bit, especially in light of my own experience as a player in RttToEE, and I hereby change my vote to...

I love the descriptions of the Balacazar NPCs and I love the portrait of the Vladaam family even more. awesome

Yes and yes. I got Night of Dissolution in the same box with Ptolus, but I'm too wrapped up in the setting to read it. I flipped through it and it's black and white. It's about, you guessed it, the "night of dissolution," the return of the Vallis Moon, and with it, the soul of the world, and...

Yeah, but you're on the whole opposite corner of the country from Monte and Sue.

Good examples, Huw. Ogrork the Mighty, No, I wouldn't allow it unless that orc grew up speaking goblin rather than orc. The point of the spell is to allow communication with any creature that has a language, regardless of what language they use. Take it from a linguist - given the huge...

I'll admit to a little disappointment that the conversion doc mentioned above gives more information on incorporating the city of Ptolus into the lands of the Diamond Throne than it does on incorporating the AE rules into the city of Ptolus. Monte's Ptolus campaigns are clearly hybrid, and I...

Speak the language impies, to me, speak a language of the target creature, if it has one (or more), but, to my knowledge, no one grows up speaking druidic as a first language. I would rule that tongues allows you to speak with druidic speaking creatures in some other language they know, other...

Personalization is awesome! That's the first thing I checked for - to see if I got one of the "idle time sketches." I Didn't, but that's okay. I love this book - and now that my wife is at work, I can devote full time to reading it.
