What sort of cool mechanics are we talking? And while we are at it, my usual question: What are the coolest things that you think are in the book?

Jdvn1 says, "Gazizza!" from my couch.

Sorry, I got sucked into the evil and utter chaos of the abyss that is Third Quarter of Senior Year. And yet I still haven't graduated. >.> Though I've been contemplating heading back and apprising everyone of what I've been doing with my life the last three or so months.

Actually, I've always thought that a Magic Strategy Guide, sort of like Goodman Games' Power Gamers' 3.5 Wizard Strategy Guide but less on the power gaming and more on the casting-for-newbies and creative uses of spells, would be a very invaluable resource. I've seen enough of my players...

I must admit: You totally lost all credibility with me the instant you said this.

Just as an aside -- I believe I read about that study, and I question the validity of their methodology. So.

"In the distant future"? Keep in mind that a lot of what people call "bisexuality" often really amounts to -- assuming you are serious about it -- "I don't really care what sex you are, I care who you are." A lot of people call this "pansexuality" to be more all-encompassing, but the idea's...

Well, my point was more that designing et. al for D&D is not the most lucrative business in the world, and there are rather more effective ways to earn money if that's what you're looking for. Even Hasbro appears to not make that much off of the property; not enough worth trumpeting, so far as...

I think that's rather cynical, to be honest, and proposes a significantly larger disconnect between the designers and the audience than actually exists. I have no doubt that the people who help build D&D really do care about the game and want it to improve; making money is merely a significant...

S:CoT Index. Enjoy.

I must admit to thinking that a lot of the normal PHB feats are rather underpowered (e.g. a lot of the skill feats), and I think that between a +4 to that use of the skill, the ability to break a DC 20 barrier, and taking less time, it actually becomes a desirable feat to take without being...

Just a last suggestion -- it may be more appealing to your players if Improved Track, Improved Research, and Improved Investigate actually took less time than without the feats, as well. Say something along the lines of "takes half as much time," or "you can retry this skill with this feat," or...

Or, patterned off of rogue trapfinding: Track is now a ranger class ability. Non-rangers can track up to DC 20 tracks (rather than DC 10, as previous without the feat).

Possible suggestion -- make it like combat options, and have Track, Investigate, and Research available as normal skill actions, but then provide Improved Track, Improved Investigate, and Improved Research, which provide significant and feat-worthy advantages to anyone willing to take them.

I must admit to instantly thinking, "Wow, low CHA," rather than a droid or warforged.

No, though I do ask for them when they die or leave the party. It's always interesting when you run into previous PCs doing their own thing in the world, or as petitioners on the planes. ...actually -- when playing online, I always ask for character sheets. But I also ask for people to roll...

Now, this is patently untrue. Jdvn1 is a math major, and so he certainly counts.

Crothian is immune to critical hits?

Er, 'twas me, sorry. I've sorta been busy with other things for today. But yeah, Jdvn1 and I were talking and we were thinking about possibly him playing a paladin and me playing a druid, so you could have the kind of good cop/bad cop dynamic. Except less "good and bad" and more "lawful and...

Unless of course that is a lie, and she will of course know that you are lying but choose to trust and believe you, after which everything comes down like a house of cards. Speaking from personal experience as the girl, here. It may be important for KenM to distinguish between lies that are...
