    Revised GSL TODAY!

    A comparison of the two GSL versions I've written a side-by-side comparison of the two GSL versions. (BTW -- the new version of the GSL is now out.) http://stirgessuck.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/gsl_comparison_v1.pdf I feel compelled to point out that it should not be taken as legal advice...

    New guy, bad choices for character and personality

    My take on this is that the player, consciously or unconsciously, wants the party to kill off the necromancer. I can see the potential for that to be pretty awesome for everyone, with the right prep. Cheers, Roger

    Blood Feud: A world torn between the Demon Prince of the Gnolls and the Ghoul King

    Mostly my thoughts are about all the wrong ways to do it, which I'm pretty sure you're expert enough to avoid on your own, but I need to get them out of my head: 1. Hey guys, here's this awesome world with a war between ghouls and gnolls! But you won't get to see any of that for the next six...

    A Couple Things I Need To Get Off My Chest

    I think Traveller (in every edition) avoids these two problems. Cheers, Roger

    Excerpt - Rituals

    That seems problematic. "Alright, it's night-time, so let's set up our tents and get some sleep!" "You can't. You don't know that ritual." "I can't make a campfire and set up the tents without knowing a ritual?" It seems to me that a non-magical ritual is just... doing stuff. Hey, look at...

    Blood Feud: A world torn between the Demon Prince of the Gnolls and the Ghoul King

    Ghouls and gnolls both start at level 5 monsters; what level do you plan on starting the PCs? Cheers, Roger

    Character Builder Update Announcement

    After examining the character-save (.dnd4e) files, I'm inclined to conclude that the application is generally XML-based. Cheers, Roger

    4E Consequences: Being passive, cautious, or a loner is now unoptimized

    He might enjoy a Dark Pact Warlock, from Forgotten Realms Player's Guide. Cheers, Roger

    UPDATE: New Drizzt vid & Sword Fighting blog

    That dwarf's beard is made of awesome. Cheers, Roger

    Wall of Bones

    The other comments are generally good. I feel compelled to point out how sick Macabre Devouring is, though. 9d8+15 damage per round vs a grabbed character is pretty mean. Cheers, Roger

    Referencing the Feywild in 3PP supplements

    It seems to be broadly allowed; the SRD contains the word 'feywild' in: pg 26: Feywild Protection pg 36: Cloak of feywild escape pg 50: Feywild Alacrity pg 53: Feywild Tactics Given that, for example, the Channel Divinity feats that mention deity names are not in the SRD, I think that...

    Looking for a good paladin example (TV/Movie)

    Iron Man, from the movie, after he has his big change of heart. Cheers, Roger

    Starlock: AC too low to be playable?

    Just slap on some plate. He can live with a -2 to attack rolls. Cheers, Roger

    One off adventure Help!

    Just speaking for myself, but that's a bit too wide-open for me to suggest anything helpful. Cheers, Roger

    World Creator?

    The world/globe generation system in Dwarf Fortress is pretty slick. And it's free. Screenshot: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/screens/world_map1.PNG Cheers, Roger

    Tell me about the Harbinger Wraith

    Yeah, pretty cool, in my opinion. It's a bit on the large size for a Medium, I'd suggest. I think it'll do fine as a Witch-King. Cheers, Roger

    Playing Dhampyr

    A quick search in the Compendium seems to indicate that there are no Reliable Encounter powers. It may be a design principle they are unwilling to violate here. Cheers, Roger

    Playing Dhampyr

    It's a nice article all around. And thanks for the clarification on how Savage Bite is supposed to work. In my own campaign, I'd make the minor house ruling to allow a druid to take Blood Drain as a Beast Form attack (and let him ditch most of the vampire fluff if he wanted.) Cheers, Roger
