The digester, the flumph, the yrthak, the wolf-in-sheep's clothing, the terlen, and the nilbog. :lol:

Actually, there are long stretches of time during and between adventures.

Heh, I just like ragging on the races

Depends. Every month? No, not at all. Every once in a while, hell yes. I'd love to see some actual psionic adventures especially. Those are quite lacking.

Yeah, I dunno, "Whispering Cairn" was just a really cool module, dripping with hints of ancient history, hidden malevolence, and, overall, the promise of epic adventures to come. "There is No Honor" I guess, just didn't grab me as much, though the zombie pirate part is great. I do like that it...

Age of Worms, IMO, READS much better than Savage Tide, although, my opinion may change when ST is finished. I'm not sure that I'll ever run AoW, but damn if parts of it don't make me really want to! An assault on a city of giants? A gladiatorial match? A fight against THE dracolich and one of...

Deflection actually serves a purpose though, if you wanted to pair down the bonus types, you could easily choose a bunch of other ones (profane/circumstance/insight/etc)

You obviously don't get it. *mock mock* That good enough?

FIFY. What I want to see: Greyhawk 3.5 Planescape 3.5 Dark Sun 3.5 Expedition to the... um Rod of Seven Parts (needs a better name) Expedition to the Lost Temple of Tharizdun A Complete Book of NPC's (includes boatloads of pregenerated NPC's with notes on easily modifying them to other races)...

I rather like the Shapshifting variant in the PHBII and I'd probably consider using it as a standard replacement for druids. The mechanics are static, but it's freeform enough that 'predator form' can mean almost anything. Plus, it'd be much easier to churn out a pre-made statblock for it.

We wouldn't be having an argument if it were otherwise. I ran an encounter with, I think, a tendriculous in 3.0 which resulted in the players asking these very questions. Yeah, neither one is perfect. 3.5 kinda hoses cavalry charges, but I still prefer its simplicity to the stupid...

Yeah, polymorph needs to be looked at. There HAS to be a way to keep it as a flexible option without having it be a rules nightmare.

An exaggeration. An assumption maybe, not a well-thought out assumption when considering the oblong bases of 3.0. Because I use the 3.5 method. :) Maybe, but it's an abstraction, but IMO, a better abstraction than the 3.0 method. Yeah, but what are those corners? On the battlemap it looks...

How is it going to turn if PC's are surrounding it and what are the ramifications of it turning? Does it push characters out of the way? Does its head just switch with its back? If it doesn't turn, am I stabbing it in the side, the head, or the back? All easily answered if facing were in the...

That's fine, the zone of combat works better than the 3.0 method. If facing comes back, I'll deal with it, or I'll join the ruckus on the internet and complain about it like everyone else. And the corner case rule (ie allowing long creatures to turn as a free action) wouldn't be an abject...

That book was awesome. Now why did I sell it? :(

FIFY

Nope, well not exactly... When you have something that is 10 by 60 and it has a definite front and back, unless you are using a facing system, having the creature reposition itself during combat raises all sorts of questions. If the creature is facing one way, how can it bite a character that...

That would be cool. I could see basing the system off of the way psions are currently built. In every edition of D&D those questions always came up.... outside of combat. I ignored the facing rules even in 2e. :)

Would that be a called shot?
