I think if you oil the leather well enough, any liquid-based poison isn't going to be able to penetrate the oil, so you don't have to worry about the weapon sucking up the poison before it gets to your enemy.

There's only a limited list (the PH classes and the DMG prestige classes, and the FRCS prestige classes as well since the FRCS is considered a core book for FR games) so if you see a character statted in a sourcebook you don't have to wonder what Ftr10/AoS2/FSp1/SrA1/ScS1* is, or you at least...

It got a laugh out of me.... :)

IIRC the version that I playtested was much more like "Magic creatures in a D&D setting." One PC was a Hurloon minotaur, I was a prodigal sorcerer (he had normal spellcasting ability like a wizard, but at any time he could cast a magic missile at caster level 1 without draining any of his...

Basically it's because some of the brand people for Magic didn't want a crossover monster book unless the book could maintain the Magic brand's tenets, including collectability. Trust me, the idea of a Magic RPG, or even just a Magic monster book, was a VERY popular idea among the RPG designers...

I rec'mend the PBEM FAQ, archived at my site here: http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/pbem_faq.html (though I did not author it). Also, as an example of a PBEM, you might want to check out Chapter 1 of my college PBEM's log: http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/pbem/

Bump. This issue is still not fixed. :P :)

Hmm, IIRC there were five colors of abishai daiting back to their appearance in the Monster Manual II....

FR material was designed and balanced to the same standards that core material was held to. In fact, the Word From On High (the D&D brand team) to the FRCS designers was "A Forgotten Realms character can be no more powerful than a similarly-equipped core character." Yes, some mistakes were...

Well, I haven't seen the assertion that they need to be _exactly_ right. I mean, a barbazu ftr10 is still a choice opponent whether you list his glaive attack correctly at +19 or make a small goof and list it at +20. Anyway, I think "precision" involved just a concern of high-level play, not...

Al'Kelhar said: {The philosophy underlying D&D 3E is to minimise the effect of Rule 0. I'll reiterate that in bold, varied slightly for emotional impact: The philosophy underlying 3E is to remove the DM from the game. Accordingly, game balance must be inherent in the ruleset, as the DM no longer...

{The Great Wheel is the standard D&D cosmology:} Actually, the Great Wheel is the _sample_ D&D cosmology, just as Greyhawk is the _sample_ D&D campaign setting. In 3E it is no longer a standard; the 3E Manual of the Planes shows you how to build a cosmology, and gives an example: the Great...

I've always pronounced it JAIL-reh or JAIL-ruh.

It will be interesting to see how this compares to my book Anger of Angels (Malhavoc Press), which also discusses celestial influences and good vs. evil. I've already noticed some similar elements in the preview (for example, the exalted arcanist gets access to some Good cleric spells as arcane...

From my opinions on the PH classes article (http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/PH_opinions_classes.html): Sorcerers and Material Components: Sorcerers, according to the PH rules, must use any components required for spells he casts. While a sorcerer’s knowledge is innate (while a...

Here is a screenshot. Note the green circles marking a mouseover on the link (upper right), and the address it points to (lower left). http://www.seankreynolds.com/enworld.jpg This is using the "Karate" theme. I haven't checked to see if it's present in other themes. Edit: OK, I just checked...

Be careful with making items that grant feats. At high-level, PCs have so much wealth that it's often easier to drop 20,000 gp on four single-feat items than to worry about which feat they'll actually choose with their granted feats.

Morrus - I sent you this in email a couple of weeks ago but haven't seen it addressed, so I'm posting it here on the off chance there's something hookie between your email and mine. The reason why some people are having problems posting is because they're still going to the old boards (I know...

{Now, Sean, you weren't REALLY trying to twist a definition by omitting portions that were potentialy harmful to your argument to suit your own purposes and pulling a Jaros by making the word mean what you wanted it to mean there, were you? Bad Sean! No cookie!} Actually, I just don't like big...
