I'm not really sure. I'd like to continue, and I have copy of my character sheet around here somewhere. Its up to you and the others. Zero

I just think you're getting this from the wrong angle.... I'm interested in knowing why the fact that WotC has done something inventive instead of just reprinting material offends you so much? They didn't include it in a core book, and thus it is completely optional. You don't need to do...

I'm not really sure what you mean by wonky.... its a little bit out there as far as standard campaigns, but that is what makes it interesting. I can't say I've tried much of the other books mentioned, but Dragonmech is a solid set of rules (1-2 minor glitches, but they are easy to fix). The...

Thats the best lay out for a creepy Call of Cthulhu event I've ever read. Zero

I like Honorable Party Kill, meaning they had a fair chance but lost. Zero

I really enjoyed Heroes of Battle and Lords of Madness... I'm a hard back junky though, other then campaign setting books I have all but the Planar Handbook and Weapons of Legacy... Heroes of Battle wasn't exactly what I expected... its not mass combat rules. Instead its rules for mass...

I've had blind characters in my games before... one guy got on a "blind" kick and amde a couple of them. The Blind Archer was the worst, he missed like every shot he ever fired. Really, its gonna be impossible to play a blind character. Its like saying "I want to be a paraplegic monk," its just...

I'd also point out that my above statements don't conceed or support the "no damage is -- is not 0" thing. I think that for this purpose it would be easier to think of "no damage" as 0 this case and be done with it. Zero

I'll by that, although not with out a little grumbling. It still doesn't come close to the fact that by the RAW a normal bow used as an improvised weapon deals no extra damage for high strength. I don't think that this was an intentional implication, as it makes so little sense as to be...

From the equipment section of the SRD: Improvised Weapons: Sometimes objects not crafted to be weapons nonetheless see use in combat. Because such objects are not designed for this use, any creature that uses one in combat is considered to be nonproficient with it and takes a –4 penalty on...

Longbow: You need at least two hands to use a bow, regardless of its size. A longbow is too unwieldy to use while you are mounted. If you have a penalty for low Strength, apply it to damage rolls when you use a longbow. If you have a bonus for high Strength, you can apply it to damage rolls when...

I recall there being a Shocking Net in the Arms and Equipment guide. Not 100% sure on that. Zero

And your point would be? The point would seem to be that you've lost the perspective on this thread Patryn. If you are getting so upset its time to take a step back. I've been known to get in over my head with silly arguements and it looks like you just hit your limit with this one. Its just a...

By Smurf: Again, if the fire dealt 1d6 fire damage, it wouldn't be a problem. But the Flaming ability adds +1d6 fire damage to the damage dealt by the weapon. The whip doesn't deal zero damage; it deals no damage. The two are treated very differently in D&D. A character who can cast 0 3rd...

And that is why I feel uncomfortable working for PDF publishers. I'm working with one at the moment and everythings been fine, but they tend to be hobbist based "businesses" with little in the way of paper work. If you had any kind of contract you need to scan it and send a copy to that company...

This argument is out and out dumb. Smurf, you are arguing based on RAW in the most rediculous fashion, and ignoring half of the SRD in the process: Whip: A whip deals nonlethal damage. It deals no damage to any creature with an armor bonus of +1 or higher or a natural armor bonus of +3 or...

Thats freaking awesome. I'd love it for stuff that odd to happen to me :) Zero

I got going on this idea for a place in my campaign world, used a lot of cool ideas from the thread. Its not done yet, just a rough sketch... I'm thinking a city with squat colorless buildings, but with large brightly colored tents and awnings (in light colors so they are still obvious at...

In response to Zero's argument, I'm not entirely sure that a game will stagnate without new rules. It's still possible to create generic-setting adventures and supplements, GMing guides, NPC sheafs, and other such things. These don't require issuing new rules. The problem with this is one that...

I know, and sorry to go on the attack :) I really pounded that point out because I know its one that someone else reading the thread would need to have made to them. WotC can't stop making rules because that is what they do... the fundamental structure of what a D&D game is would have to change...
