With all the regular references to Planescape on these boards, I went to Paizo and was surprised to see how inexpensive the pdfs were. I am interested in reading some more, but my needs are very specific and so I'm asking the advice of the experts. I'm looking for info on what used to be...

So my 3.5 game has reached the point where the elven evoker has fireball. Am I understanding the rules for item destruction correctly? The way it seems to play out, a moderate use of fireball (say, 5d6 and an average damage roll) is going to destroy just about everything the target is carrying...

I met my wife on retreat. We were together for a very long time without her gaming. She would watch, but had no interest in participating. Then she came up with a Champions concept, we built it, and she joined the group at the time. That was about 6 years ago. She's played several games...

Fair enough. I'm honestly a little surprised at the consistency (and people's evident boredom with said consistency) of the answer. I find incarnum and psionics to have levels of in-play complexity that exceed the wizard (IMO). That doesn't take into account out-of-combat complexity, which...

[My first poll!] For the more advanced player, which present official rules system do you think is the most complicated for magic (from a mechanical point of view)? I am not equating "complicated" with either "good" or "bad"; just "complicated." Here are my reasons for omitting the two...

Mission accomplished. Thanks for the bribe! C

There are three things I must note at the beginning of this review. First, this is my first review on ENWorld. Second, I received a complimentary copy of this book. Third, I’m motivated to review this product by the offer of another free book for doing so. Upon receiving 17 Plants as a free...

Hey all. 2 questions: 1) Where is the Efficient Quiver? One of my players found it in the SRD, but I can't find it in any of my books (and I won't let him get one until I can find it!). 2) Related to the Efficient Quiver, is it a weapon or armor or clothing? More to the point, if a Small...

I'm pretty sure the 3rd edition out in America now is based on this French translation. However, if that is the case, it's still more in the psychological vein of 2nd edition, not the gore-drenched 1st edition. BTW, even harder to find than the rules are cards for the short-lived but...

That's the point: the game is pretty relative as to what constitutes "evil." Drug addiction and sex abuse are as much a path to godhood as are altruistic behaviors. (Again, I've modified this somewhat in my own game). I forgot who is publishing the 3rd edition; some small press, as I recall...

That'll work. Thanks.

Thank you. But I was wondering if I could an answer to my question that wouldn't cost me $8. :)

So...if the party acquired 2 horses each, one for riding, and one as an unladen "spare" (a spare mare, if you will - sorry, awful horse humor), would that actually speed up their overland progress by switching horses as they travel? Or is the extra weight of a rider and gear negligible compared...

Thank you! Considering the grief I received from the "true believers" (!) on the Kult forums when I first proposed it, a little affirmation is nice!

One part of the setting is tied heavily to the ruleset: the rules for Mental Balance. This determines your psychological stability, your saintliness and/or madness, and really, your divinity. I think that's probably it, though. There were only 2 supplements that I am aware of for 2nd edition...

OK. I'm back. So in the meanwhile, a lot of people have conveyed the game's darkness. It is true: played straight according to the rulebook, no game approaches this one for bleak. For that reason, it can excel as a one-shot, where you are willing to pull out all the stops and have fun being...

I promise I'll get back to this...it's not often I get a chance to preach Kult to someone. Unfortunately, right now I have a stack of Bible tests that I need to correct first (yeah, savor the irony of this utterly true statement). I'll respond a little later this evening (i.e., in a few hours). C

Plenty. I've had an unhealthy love affair with it for 10 years. What can I help you with?

Our group also had a 4th level binder as a replacement character. Totally cool in flavor (and a fun personality to boot). But his abilities were far too limited. Lacking a lot of confidence in the odder support abilities of the low-level vestiges, he just bound Amon a lot, which made him a...
