Re the Knowledge skill revision: Wow: Hallelujah anyone? That is how they should have been done in the first place. The synergy bonuses are appropriate. They mean that you might actually get real use out of your knowledge skills. I have already used Knowledge (geography) to give a synergy...

Umm, "many of Oghma's clerics multiclass as bards." Bards are good at "the gathering of knowledge, secret, hidden, everything" and "take[ing] things from those who shouldn't have it" Why create a new class when you the class you've described already exists?

My 2 cp I was very gung-ho about 3.5 because I see a lot of little problems with 3.0 that I would like changed. I like/can live with the vast majority of changes in 3.5. However, if 3.5 is what I read it is, I think I agree with a lot of Mr. Cook's criticisms. It doesn't seem that backwards...

Edit: moved comment to appropriate thread

I agree. Many campaigns will never reach or go past character level 20, yet often high level characters are considered "epic" in campaign terms upon reaching mid-level, like levels 10-12. I don't see why you couldn't consider 10th level to be epic in your campaign and allow epic feats at...

I didn't make it all the way through the Munchkin test, but it does bear noting that it seems to refer to second edition AD&D (I think it was that part about you're not a munchkin if you play a half-orc, but you might be one if you play a half-elf...)

My vocabulary impacted my thinking IMPACT. How did the grammar discussion impact you? Am I just crazy, or did people stop using the word "affect" in the last ten years and replacing it exclusively with the word "impact"? Hey wait, American Heritage dictionary agrees with me: USAGE NOTE...

Could anyone give a synopsis of Midnight's salient features? I've never read any of the books. Personally I like FR, now that I've learned some of the regions. I agree with whoever said it for the kazillionth time that FR works really well if you tone down the magic and uber-NPCs.

That does change things. As it is now, familiars also get Spot and Listen checks. Since they are in constant mental contact with their master, familiars can transmit any information from a successful check pretty quickly. This means that an elf wizard with Wis 10 and a snake familiar riding...

Altran parle «De ma part, je suis épuisé après les événements d'aujourdh'ui. Mais si vous autres descendez maintenant, j'irai avec vous.»

My personal experience is that Dodge has saved a high level hospitaler character of mine from lots of damage. The difference between a 26 and a 27 AC does seem to be significant over time. I wil still be disappointed if Dodge isn't improved, however; the offense to defense ratio is too skewed...

One way to do this might be to disallow the use of magic for all non-magical races. Then only allow PCs to be members of these races. In other words, humans, dwarves, halflings, and half-orcs cannot use magic or take levels in magic-using classes. PCs can only choose one of those races...

There are only two things you can do to avoid insta-kill spells: 1) Improve your saves through feats and items. However, this in no way will protect you from rolling a 1. You roll a 1, you die. :( 2) Get your enemy before he gets you with your own insta-kill. 3) Superior divination magic...

The group I played with last year liked to play from noon to midnight almost every Saturday. All of them were in their 30's, and two had wife and baby. Well, noon to midnight was ideal. If we started later, like at 2:00, then normally we stopped between 1:00 and 2:00. Yes, I'm serious. I...

Considering that there was a gap of about 11-12 years between previous editions (1E 1977-1989, 2E 1989-2000), I guess we'll see a true new 4th Edition around 2011. But then again, that probably wouldn't help Hasbro's cash position as well as releasing an update every third year.... ;)

:rolleyes: So true, Pseudonym, so true...

So I take it that the critical range can only be expanded once, i.e., a weapon with a 19-20 critical range can only ever have a 17-20 critical range. The only problem with the expanded critical range is that so many people (every group I've ever played with, in fact) use some kind of...

Well, one archetype that hasn't been addressed in standard D&D is the miracle-working/curse-throwing priest/holy man/etc. that doesn't engage in much combat. I believe there are classes like this in some d20 books, however. Another archetype is the feminine aristocrat. The current...

J'ai aimé tout - l'ambience, les personnages, l'action, et les cartes illustratives. J'apprécie beacoup le style de Guillaume (et de vous, les autres joueurs, aussi :cool: ). C'est la première fois que je fais un PbP aussi. Ce genre donne des opportunités intéressantes. Une chose qui...

The groups I have played with have had the following methods: 1. Roll at home using the "normal" method. This effectively means rolling as many sets of stats as it takes to get an 18, a 17, and two 16s. (Proof: one player used the D&D character generator to get stats. The sheet records how...
