By assuming that the PCs (and NPCs who gain levels in PC classes) are special and rare, and that most people don't gain XP like the PCs do.

The Eberron hardback also led with the crunch. As for why the change, Wizards might see Eberron as the logical place to test any new styles of organization and content, simply because it is new, unlike the established FR line. I've gotten the impression (from SKR, I believe) that a lot of WOTC...

I view this with the same mixed excitement and horror that any fan of something has when hearing it's going to be turned into a movie. What really makes me cringe is the "photorealistically". I have images of "actors" that look like action figures, like in the Matrix Reloaded "Burly Brawl"...

Because 9th level is when clerics start getting invited to house parties at their deity's pad. Sorcerers and wizards have to crash, and that takes more power. J

The Mark of Making is not a prerequisite for the Artificer class - it just gives you some spell-like abilities that happen to work well with it. Anyone saying you "have to" have it is using hyperbole. J

I was thinking Indy for the skill set, not the motivation. Whether he's hired by a museum or handles things on his own, the skills he's going to want are going to be the same. J

Go out and collect them, as well as sell them? There's really only one choice: Rogue - just like Indiana Jones! Go for a high Int. Take the Education feat and drop some of your crazy amount of skill ranks into various Knowledge skills (which are now all class skills for you) - History is...

Given the enormous legal problems they had the first time around, they will probably not ever do this again. (Although I could be wrong - does Paizo buy electronic reprint rights?)

Fantasy Flight's Path of the Sword has two non-magical rangers - I believe they're called the Hunter and the Outdoorsman. You might want to check them out as well.

But then he wouldn't be using the artificer crafting ability, so he'd have to be a 12th level caster in that other class, and it would need to have disintegrate as a spell...so it would sort of defeat the purpose of having the artificer levels at all. See, the artificer's caster level for...

Try the second book (Cugel the Clever). The tone does change, and there is more story, and you don't have to have read the Dying Earth stories to understand it. But if you don't like the first Cugel story there is little point in continuing - skip Eyes of the Overworld as well (it's more of the...

1. I don't know many people that are willing to gamble XP on a 50/50 chance. On average, your scrolls would cost twice as much. 2. Even if he was willing to, he can't do disintegrate at 5th level, because it's a 6th level spell, requiring you to be an 11th level caster - and he's only treated...

I'd base it on the the weapon. For something that was shorter, like a carbine (for the Freeport stuff, the Harpy and Medusa), the lesser penalty. For a longarm (like the Gorgon), the greater. I might go the other way on the Medusa, though. Having just watched Sharpe's Rifles, I'm still...

I'd use the same rules for firing crossbows one-handed myself. I use the Freeport rules as well - they seem to be the most realistic in terms of both power and reload time of anything outside of Skull & Bones. Despite the reload time issue, they still see plenty of use, both because they're...

Two things: Cone of Cold has always struck me as being rather anemic for a 5th level spell. 2 spell levels higher than fireball/lightning bolt ought to get you something, and cone is just not that much better than burst or line. Aren't fire spells in 3.5 pretty much universally Evocation? Is...

The connection is that both talk about the Nexus - BOEM3 as a gateway form place to place, and BCD more as a gateway from plane to plane. BOEM3 has more detail - I don't think there was anything new about it in BCD. There's also mention of the Diamond Throne setting as one of the planes in...

You're welcome! I was looking for something along the lines of TextEdit or EditPlus on the PC (the latter is probably my favorite text editor, and a great tool for my Perl work), and Smultron is the closest I've come. J

Huh...what promos did they have in your area? One of the ones I saw was a 'commercial' for Lacuna (which obviously told what the movie was about) and the other was pretty clear about it as well. J

You'd find it in the Diamond Throne book.
