Read! And weep for your former life of Ignorance.

As long as you have room in that basement for SepulchraveII, I'll help you bag both of them. I'm sure we could find others willing...

The problem with Color Spray is that you need to be very close indeed to your intended targets for the spell to work. It depends on how you play your Wizards, but Color Spray for me would be a defense-only spell. Not a bad defense, though, in a pinch. I'd prefer to flee for a round and let my...

Re: Con v Dex AC is actually pretty hard for a wizard to raise, unless he spends magical resources (and rounds of spellcasting) to improve it. I always thought that if a wizard of mine was even a target of an attack, I wasn't trying hard enough. At low levels, use cover, concealment...

I'd switch STR and CON. Those 3 hp every level will be more of a boon than you think.

I'd say those +2/+2 feats would be worth 1/3 of my gold, and certainly for 200gp. If you're giving free feats out, I'd almost restrict them to skill feats, since they won't add to any overpowered feat chains, they'll allow otherwise feat-starved classes to shore up skill weaknesses, and maybe...

Can I spend 2000gp on 20 feats?

This is a lot like the drow-items-turn-to-dust-in-the-sun business. They make the encounter much more deadly and reduce the reward for overcoming him; I, and SKR, recommend against it. It may be a defining characteristic of the Predator, but I'd get rid of any Death Throes/Circlet of Blasting...

Use a mix of Fortitude and Will saves for him to resist the torture, so he can feel like his character actually did the resisting. And if he gives in right off the bat, well, that's an unexpected bit of character development, and he'll have to work with that. As for what kind of nasty they'll...

Adagio for Strings, by Samuel Barber It is incredibly mournful and introspective; it was used masterfully in Oliver Stone's "Platoon". Seconded.

You checked your sources. Which of course was my advice, eh? ;) The OP took a look at some data that seemed inconsistent with what WotC had said about the sales of Bo9S; I took that and posted why one should not take WotC at their word. If WotC has something to back up their claim, all well and...

Ayup. Check. Your. Sources. Regardless of what standard of "popularity" you're using for the Book of 9 Swords, and regardless of the truth value of if it was "popular" or not, there is no incentive for WotC to call the book anything but "popular". As I was reading this thread I thought to...

I'm an Anglophile, so: "Pip, pip, cheerio!"

As it is, a Pearl will allow you with one standard action to refill a used spell slot with a formerly cast spell; it is then available for you to cast with another standard action, or however long the casting time is. If you want to specialize the Pearl of Power for a specific school, then...

Songs like the "Inn of the Green Dragon" with Pippin and Merry in Two Towers are OK. But they shouldn't be the focus of a scene.

If you want to make it last for a long while, then restrict the level of spell the sorcerers can cast. For the first 5 rounds, they can only cast 1st level spells. Rounds 6 to 10, only 2nd and lower level spells. Rounds 11 to 15, only 3rd and lower spells. That way you'll see a lot more buff...

Yeah, Porter definitely will not be a bard. Can't carry a tune in a large tin bowl with an attached handle. Oh, I should mention that this campaign is currently on hiatus until some of the players finish up with the whole, "My wife just gave birth to twins and I have to get up 5 times a night"...

It is absolutely bloody unconscionable that the Knights In Shining Armor (Braveheart ENGLISH) is beating out the Highlanders (Braveheart SCOTS). Get a grip, people! Up with Kilts!

Don't describe the hit; describe what the enemy does in reaction to the hit. If he keeps on plugging without regarding the blow, the PCs will know it didn't really phase him. If the hit takes him to 1/4 of his HP, then he starts to grunt and look for ways out of the fight. Make enemies actually...

Yeah, Eugene has become something of a villain with that strip.
