I'd think about it... A tidied up, printed and bound version of some of the SH's would definitely drag money out of my pockets though...

Right! I've made a couple of small changes - taken Mindlink and Touchsight powers... On re-reading I can see the use of Mindlink more :) Touchsight just seems too cool not to go for! Thanks for the pointers Thramzorean! And that is an incredibly evasive answer - I'm rather impressed!

I was curious again: How accessible to PCs are the attributes of NPCs? Some things I'd consider as attributes - by no means an inclusive list: HP totals, elemental resistances, saves, damage reduction, AC, spell resistance. Some broad generalisations when fighting A.N.Other.Monster...

I like it. I tend to use it for any D20 campaign I GM... IME it tends to make for more slightly more rounded characters. Not really found a downside that I can think of. Potentials include: Players getting easy access to their favorite skills, slightly 'cheaper' to get into some prestige...

You can't have a thread of this nature without The Head of Vecna?... Although this time it's all about the cunning of the PCs setup rather than the results. That Githzerai/Githyanki solution is excellent - Multiple problems solved with one simple truth. Fantastic! :)

Could there be a 3rd party interested in the book? Perhaps someone not so nasty - possibly wanting to freely distribute the formula for the betterment of all people. Do gooding nobles, priests of a healing god or some similar thing? Add in pleading, offering rewards, blackmail and it all gets...

Figured Metaconcert might well be useful/interesting in the right situation. Felt rather mindflayer to me - like the mental image of a group of them floating around co-operatively crushing the minds of the weak? Not got my books to hand, but - IIRC, the conductor gets all the powers of the...

I like looking for stuff you can do from combining the 2 spell lists together. Like Someone said, spectral hand and healing/inflict spells. Or contingency and clerical spells. Possibly permenancy if your GM allows it. If you're going down that route, why not mix up Wizard/Psion/Cleric/Mystic...

I did. :(

I'd go with: Half Orcs and Half Elves - +1 skill point per level. Benefits of a human heritage. Makes more interesting characters without being too OTT... the humans still got their feat - which seems to be a huge draw for some players? Additionally for the half orcs: +2 racial bonus to...

Just idly wondering how it would stack up with the power attack increases from a frenzied berserker?

A very fine point there! Was more looking for a selection of situational buffs, mixed with some 'nasty' powers - 'cos I figured that's what mindflayers do! By 'nasty' I mean stuff that strikes me as having unpleasant visual effects/just plain wrong/etc. Wasn't intending to rack the full suite...

That primer was fun. :) The fascinating bit to me was the lack of positive emotions... (excluding arguably curiousity) Guess having an effective team around you would lead to a lessening of the sense of danger. Which is not a terrible thing... Other than that, I supose there's a balancing of...

Mindlink seems like a good plan - will check my XPH and see if it could be slotted in somewhere... With you on group cohesion - figure our duty is to see the brains work done and not waste valuable resources in the process (ourselves!). Safety in numbers and all that!

I think it's a sign of The End Times. Keep an eye out for the 4th edition horsemen. :)

Depending how mobile you are: Southsea Games and Models over in Portsmouth might be worth checking out. Not sure if they still do (or have closed!), but they used to post ads for games in the shop. Found an excellent group in Gosport through them. Although that was years ago... possibly worth...

Seems to be quite a few people along the lines of '1 level lower than the lowest in the party' answers in here. I'd use that for a normal game as well. One campaign where it led to problems was Rappun Athuk - which is pretty lethal. I noticed it lead to a 'chain death' situation: Example...

Glitterdust too. ;)

Another thread got me thinking about this: So a character has died in a game that's already underway, what do you do now? I've seen a fair range. Depending on the game and GM, IME new characters generally fall into the range: Same level as old one through to a level below party minimum...

I think Crothian has hit the issue on the head. GM doesn't like the book for whatever reason. I'd chat to him and see if you can reach an agreement - get him to look at your PC specifically and discuss anything that he doen'st like... If that doesn't work, then IMO you should consider looking...
