Just about every class nowadays is getting its hands on minor magic abilities and half casting, and when they do get it it sucks. The two core classes that spring immediately to mind are Rangers and Paladins. Paladins do not need it, just because they are holy warriors doesn't mean they should...

As a very big fan of HERO FRED(5th revised edition), I must say that it is a great system, and I like it better than Mutants and Masterminds though GURPS does do the really low stuff, like 100-150 point FBI agents and the like a bit better. Your mileage may very.

They're out there, but they are hard to find because its almost impossible to make money with the types of backwards business practices they have. Average game shop policy 1:Order far too much product of an item than it has a chance of clearing and offer them at full price, even though anyone...

Why should we quit our bitching over it though? America has always found a way to secure cheap gas, now gas is over 3 dollars across the nation. It really will get interesting if 4 dollar gas/100+ a barrel hits. The taxes on European gasoline are also much higher than even the U.S.'s ludicrous...

Here is the thing. The store is nice, the owner is pretty cool, and I like to use the place for drafting and playing sealed and Friday Night Magic. Its a great place to play Mage Knight, Warhammer, Warlord, Magic:The Gathering, or roleplay at the dry erase tables. But for getting books? Hell...

I'm sorry, but I got Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary from a hater used and loved it and used it more than many Monster Manuals. Definately disagree with you, Demiurge. I never really had a poor purchase, or a purchase that I've deeply regretted. The closest is the download of the World of Warcraft RPG...

The average gamer has always been a reader. At the very least they're reading the game books, which is more reading than the majority of adults do. I believe something like less than 40 percent of all adults read for literary/pleasure purposes and I recall many of my friends sayings that they...

I played Star Wars d20 and HERO when the weather was bad in the dorms and at night. Good times. I haven't had exposure to a FLGS until about 2 years ago.

I think damage reduction is a really big D&D bugaboo and needs a serious overhaul. Past level 4 even something like DR Everything/Magic, is worthless as everyone packs +1 weapons. That, and regeneration, with creatures like Ocularons and Tendriculous and what not that can have 100s of HP and are...

Hmm, looks like this article should be renamed "Geeks are low maintenance and desperate so feel free to treat them as your beeyotches." The article is telling women that they can dress like crap with a geek, that geeks remember dates to "make you happy", their friends won't hit on you because...

I really didn't want to think Landis was doping. His parents are absolute sweethearts and as honest as the day is long. How Landis overcame the hip problems and huge deficit to win the Tour De France was cool and inspiring to me. I was more than ready, willing, and able to give Floyd the benefit...

Pants: Taken from Magic the Gathering, a long lasting defensive spell like Stoneskin or Protection From X, or Globe of Invulnerabilty, Mace of Odo, etc. Buffing is used for offensive minded spells like Righteous Might, Spikes, Bull's Strength. lay the smack down: A very impressive display of...

Forget the Strike of Perfect Clarity, the Warblade has an ability for another full round of attacking! How is that even remotely balanced? The Warblade gets access to the weapon focus, specialization, and weapon mastery of the Fighter and instead of a few feats gets abilities like: Instant death...

http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/?p=2340 Funny article about labels given to white wide receivers.

Rapid Spell, metamagic feat. By raising the level of a spell by 1 you may cast it 1 step quicker, full round becomes standard action, so on and so forth. Best a spell can become is a move action I believe. A Conjurist can sacrifice his familiar to cast Summon Monster spells one step quicker. A...

Poison, thats a good suggestion. And I love that pit trap idea.

Forget Fighter Levels, a fistful of Warrior 6 Kobolds is pretty brutal. CR=NPC Level-4. Elite stats 15+1+2 18 Dexterity 14-4 Strength 13-1 Constitution 12 Wisdom 10 Intelligence 10 Charisma With PBS, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot they get the chance to do plenty of 1d6+1 with their composite...

It'll be 3d6. Just kidding.

The example is suspect and consists of situational stacked modifiers while raging with a racial save bonus and a feat. Lets say you are a Human Fighter 16 and somebody goes after your Will save. You're no dummy and you know that your Will save sucks. So you get a Robe of Resistance +5, a...

I souped up Dry Spell a little and it worked out fine. It is just out of the box pretty tough and I think I made it just a smidge harder so there were some tense moments, but nothing totally unmanagable. They aren't the greatest, I'd give them about a 6 out of a 10. With some tweaking they could...
