I'd charge them a move-equivalent action to prepare each potion - that is, to get them held correctly in the hand, uncapped, and situated so that you don't spill half of them down your shirt instead of your throat - and a standard action to drink them all. I'd require both hands to arrange the...

Hmm. That seems pretty front-loaded to me, honestly. I've seen feats that essentially halve the penalty for size difference in grappling, and this eliminates it for that and for several other features. You might say something like 'counts as up to 1 size category larger, if desired, for...

Perhaps that's exactly what they are trying to develop. J

I was vaguely disappointed that it wasn't as twisty as I'd thought. I was expecting .

Sounds about right from what I know - the warriors are dependent on their lord for their equipment. The serfs weren't sowing their own grain, they were sowing their lord's grain on their lord's land. J

Well, aside from an overuse of the words "roynish" and "vitriol". J

Ditto. BCD1 is one of those books that makes me want to start up a new game solely for the purpose of using it. J

The 'winged folk' I think you mean are from an old Dragon article, and were also called the 'Al Karak Elam'. J

You mean one that lets you trade BAB for AC, like Expertise? ;) You might want to check out class-based defense bonuses - several d20 games do it, including Star Wars d20 and (I think?) Skull & Bones.

See? It's so bad at being sci-fi/fantasy that you didn't even know that it was! ;)

CDs are 650-700 Mb, so you're fine there. Get the friend to download any of the other stuff you want from NWVault, too. J

Fields of Blood was delayed long enough that all of its competitors came out before it. I can't help but think that might have hurt its sales. J

The Odyssey: "A guy goes on a boat ride and gets lost." Lord of the Rings: "Two short guys drop a ring into a volcano." The Incredible Journey: "Some pets decide to go home." Travels with Charlie: "A guy and a dog drive around for a while." Around the World in 80 Days: "A guy goes around the...

Hmm. The Color Purple...Dangerous Liasons...The Screwtape Letters... The epistolary novel is a product of the times Brust and Bull were writing about, so I'd find it hard to call it a 'poor choice'. Still, it's a lot more enjoyable if you recognize what they're doing - just like Brust's...

Sounds like these would fit in great with AU and its focus on runes.

First off, don't underestimate the mage blade's casting ability - they get just as much casting ability as a witch or a runethane, both of which most people consider 'primary casters', so don't think of their casting ability like you would a paladin's or a ranger's. You could have quite an...

Excellent point. Definitely add 'thrown' and 'returning' to the construct. J Bolts? No, why would I need them?

Bad Axe Games' Heroes of High Favor: Elves has a spell construction system in it. I haven't used it but it's probably pretty solid based on Durbin's other stuff.

pimping help Here's what I wonder: What makes Acrohelion unique? Why would I want to use this over any other campaign setting? Midnight's got the Tolkien feel with the twist of the bad guys winning. Freeport has pirates (and what more do you need?) Iron Kingdoms has steampunk, FR has...

...until you find out that all of your extrapolations are wrong because the bad guy has an Int of 51 and deliberately planted that single sentence for you to hear, knowing how you would react. And now you've got to save the world. (Again.) J
