I'm just hoping for clarification here, as I'm not sure where part of this is going. Let me double-check. 1) While trekking through the wilderness, the party encounters an orcish warband on its way to sack a human village. Combat ensues, and each and every orc among them is reduced from...

I think the big issue here is covered in Darkness' post above...UA suggests you could trade it for fighter bonus feats, arguably THE feature of the fighter class. Yes, they get bigger hit dice and whatnot, but...feats are really the "money" feature. I'm not sure that voluntarily crippling one's...

I fully intend to use it, just not at my machine (since it's about a hundred miles south of me right now), and have in fact used it for some landscapes in the past. So, in conclusion - it's a great feature, even if you get about 200 useless images for every 1 you want, but I'm not using it ATM.

Having read all the posts in all the recent alignment threads, I have but two, tiny, only-semi-on-topic statements. 1) If I wasn't already doing away with the D&D alignment system as written, I sure would be now. Attempting to apply it in any sense beyond "who gets the face full of blasphemy?"...

I went with what I discovered was the majority; unrealistic, but I like it. It's not as if the game is without unrealistic edges... - A rogue or monk can avoid being burned at all by a 20' x 20' ball of fire, and when the fire is over, they're still standing in the same place. Or, more to the...

That depends...to my experience thus far, and clearly, YMMV, amazon.com has actually delivered about 30% of the things I've ordered. Everything else I've had to send streams of emails after 6 months to get a refund. I'm not terribly impressed with their "Pay real money and never, ever get it"...

Was going through my dice bag, seeing if anything else jumped out at me, and I remembered the Combo Platter. It's a collection of the ugliest dice we have; 2 d20's, 2 d12's, and 2 d6's. They're mostly highlighter yellow with black numbers, except the hot pink 6's. Individually, they're nothing...

Agreed with many above. I don't think it should be a skill, but neither should sneak attack be mandatory for the new, 3.x, "I'm not a thief what are you talking about" rogue. Alternate abilities would go well. Hmmmm, bardic knowledge....a chance to get rid of the bard class....

Had to dig up my old campaign records to find some of these... Dirt road + rainstorm + sleep spell = fighter drowning in six inches of water because he landed face down in the street... Wizard 12/Cleric 12 (2e AD&D) fails a save vs. command - "Die!" - as cast by a 2nd-level kobold cleric, and...

As much as I'm not here to pimp sci-fi, Pitch Black is set on a moon orbiting a gas giant (IIRC)...there are some fine shots of what a gas giant looks like in the sky of a world. But basically, foremost...it's huge. Consider that with a (relatively) slight increase in mass, Jupiter could...

It's been a handful of years since I read the Dark Elf trilogy, but it's always stuck in my brain that dual-wielding wasn't that much more common in drow society than anywhere else. I may be wrong of course and I'm fully accepting of that, especially since I turned my copies over to a friend...

I'm with most of the others. Certainly sounds to me like they want to see him again, even if they don't know it now.... :D

On the subject of other games with ignoble deaths, there was a Cyberpunk fatality that will always stand out. Having just conducted a fairly effective raid on a gang safehouse (mostly to steal drugs and money...I don't engage in Cyberpunk games to have heroes), the group steals a car and takes...

Teggi Brushstumper, 10th-level halfling ranger. Took himself and his ability to survive very seriously. Disdained flying over the thaw-engorged Icedrift as a weak approach. Stripped most of the way down, stuffed his goods into the wizard's bag of holding, and dove in. Never seen again, thanks...

Absolutely. While I don't have dice that favor specific numbers, except for the magic "d7"; it's a d8, but you're almost assured a 7 when you roll it. It's also called the Cure die. However, I think the most notable are my blue-and-white dice. I bought a full tube of them upon dropping into my...

I think everyone's missing the obvious answer. An illithid with his tentacles painted white. Merry Winter.

I think this math is tricky because it's unprecedented - we have no basis (as far as we're aware) on which to base a life-friendly moon orbiting a planet. But, having started this conversation with a couple of people, I have a few thoughts to work on for it. Incidentally, this is a very cool...

Caveat, first off - I own no Eberron material, and I'm not really into it. However, I like yuan-ti, and I like a grim atmosphere. So if anything here doesn't work for a specific reason, feel free to ignore. Hmmmm. My first instinct is hallucinatory 'flashbacks', so to speak...let's presume...

A sudden upsurge in the market for platform boots, since 'core' D&D has almost every demihuman race shorter than humans. Gnomish rhinoplasty. A final answer on the "female dwarves: beards or not?" question. Half-orc suicides by the wagonload, except the few rich enough for a polymorph. Just...

*considers moving to Ohio just to play in this game* :D
