Yay! My thread did not die a slow death! Thanks, Turanil!

I am going to swim against the thread stream here, and say let SC in, and do not worry about the power level. If you were playing true Core only, that might be a problem, but given the power level already found in Forgotten Realms material, it will just not matter. That said, I agree with...

In what way does this behavior remind you of the OP's description? It sounds like your player did not care about the game and was rude. The OP's player was quiet, but not rude or disengaged.

Gundark- I broke apart your original question in two sections to highlight both parts because I really think you are asking, "why am I forced to run published adventures to cut d20 prep time?" Honestly, I am not sure that is a fair question. When I started reading your post, I immediately...

deClench- Hey, cool! I really enjoyed that article, and felt that the class would be very fun to play, as a true fey, rather than just a PHB gnome. I was wondering about the intended HD for Phantasm, as I did not see it in the article? I assumed it was either d4 or d6. To the OP: you might...

Hey, folks, does anybody know of any official or unofficial Riddick conversion material for d20? I was nooding about an Egyption-influenced d20 Future game, and watching the collected Riddick DVD set over the last few days, I realized there is a lot to draw from there. In fact, in some ways it...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/cwc/20070227x This article has some alternate class abilities that help clean up some of the oddball bits, like not having knowledge (religion), which makes it *very* tough for favored souls to qualify for divine prestige classes. Since it is from the...

LOL I am a moron. I replied before reading the very next post. Well, at least that means I am likely right in my guess! :heh:

I think we have just found our Blackguard... a new enemy for OotS, without a flamewar with the Miko supporters. Everybody wins! (Except Belkar, of course. But hey...)

Duskblade or Warmage (depending on whether you want more fighting or more spellcasting, respectively) would both be better options than Fighter/Wizard multiclassing IMO. I have seen the Hexblade in play, and while the hexes (curses) are OK, the class is on the weak side overall. Duskblade is...

Let me second Wayne's suggestion here. The Marvel Conan series was an absolute highpoint of 70s comics in general, with fantastic art by John Buscema and Ernie Chan, but especially so because Roy Thomas kept the writing tone so consistently true to Howard's source material. Although it is...

"CoDzilla" What is that, Frank? It looks like a funky acronym that I do not recognize? :confused:

DONE! Thanks for offering the paper copies, Wolfgang, for us technophobes who prefer to read that way!

There is also a Force Mage PrC that hyperspecializes in force effect spells. I honestly cannot remember the source; it may be Dragon magazine.

Holy cow, Numion, I *sincerely* hope that you are making this up outright, or at *least* exaggerating heavily-- but given the thread posts above, I am just not sure. EDIT: Respecting Umbran's request, I am editing my opinions about the above. I still hope that Numion made the whole bit up...

Hiya! I just noticed Wolfgang's brief mention in another thread about the paper subscriptions coming soon-- are those detials listed anywhere? When they are available, will that include back-issues also (I would guess yes, if they are Print on Demand mags)? I am definitely intrigued, but much...

Um, how?? Were they fighting commoners, or what?? Maybe kobolds with no class levels?? Unless their opponents were tied up, incompetant, or otherwise seriously AC-impaired, I just do not see how the TWF/Flurry combo could *possibly* be game-breaking, even just compared to the lowly Fighter...

I have seen this spinner in the Evanston IL Barnes & Noble, so at least some large chain bookstores have them. It is a pretty nice presentation of the books IMO, although it is only about half the total, the other half on the traditional bookshelves. Of course, since I already own nearly all...

FWIW, I chose desiccating bubble from the Spell Compendium for my first Advanced Learning spell. I wanted an attack spell that was not a touch or ray since I already had spells of those types.

I think you are right, BlackMoria. My only other critiques are the small maps being hard to read, and the ELs being too high for low-level characters, but consider both of those to be quibbles. Mostly, I was disappointed in that I expected a similar product to Expedition to Castle Ravenloft...
