Assuming a standard D&D world, this seems like uncharacteristically hardcore for dwarven culture. Duergar would maybe go with that kind of totalitarian stuff, but the baseline dwarf, not really. So yeah, I do not think springing that kind of surprise on you is fair*. * Provided there was no...

I too wonder how they'd look after a repaint or dipping. The sculpts themselves are a bit hard to appreciate on this kind of paintjobs, but it does seem the fur on the wererat looks... weird. It's a bit sad if Warhammer minis are the better deal, since the #1 complaint of WH players is the cost...

Yugoloths and Eladrin, at least, can work fine. There's no intrinsinc reason why, say, an Arcanoloth or a Ghaele should be silly. They might not be necessary, but they don't evoke the same feeling of instant lol as the tojanida. The arrowhawk isn't bad concept, I think their mistake was making...

I struggle to imagine why the Tojanida even exists. To have non-Elemental Water creatures in the core rules?

Daylight Adaptation was errataed. It's no longer a regional feat, and as it lacks a prerequisite, orcs are perfectly free to take it.

The question is a good one. For my part, there is one game that always deserves my unbridled contempt, and that is Cyberpunk V3, the sequel to R.Talsorian Games' Cyberpunk 2020, a game I grew up with and learned to love. V3 was more than an update or a new system, it took both the gameworld and...

I'm out. I reckon as of next week, I'll start planning offloading all my current stock of 3.5 stuff while they still have value.

Isn't that more than a little metagame-ish? The way I prefer to see it is that the fact that the rules don't make intuitive sense regarding some aspects of the world is a lamentable state of affairs, but one that shouldn't warp the entire scope of the game world so that it better conforms to the...

The more I read the forums, the less I like the book. When I first got the MIC, I quite enjoyed it, right now it feels like a colossal waste of money. Thanks a bundle.

Hm. I've never paid much attention to it, but that's a terribly vague description of the ability. If it was a (Sp), there would be a lot less amibiguity.

The average damage is the same, but 2d6 has a probability curve, the 1d12 does not.

Well, the Cape of the Mounteback wasn't the best possible example, I think, since its resale value is rather high. the Compendium is full of many interesting items that I could see a character wanting to retain the benefits of even if doing so costed more than going the BigSix route. For...

I think the idea the designers had for it was that you find a Cape, and instead of selling it for a Cloak, you imbue the Cloak's properties to the Cape, thus having your cake and eating it, too. The bonuses are also presented incrementally, so making the Capecloak a +4 now won't stop you from...

Hm. It seems the suggested additional properties cost exactly the same as the items do separately. So Cape of the Mountebank and Cloak of Charisma +4 together cost as much as the new Capecloak of the +4 Charismatic Mountebank.

Presumably because it's 3.0, which probably means its sales are lower than of the up-to-date later chapters in the series.

There's a one-page table of properties for exactly that purpose in the appendix. It contains the key properties of the "big six": ability boosts, natural armor bonuses, deflection bonuses, SR, bonuses to saves. Alas, I didn't look at it very closely, so I cannot quote you the numbers, but I can...

I quite liked the 3 charges/day items with stackable effects depending on how many charges you expended. I also liked the fact the least augment crystals can be put on masterwork items, and that they don't require their target weapons to be especially forged to use them. It gives a neat...

This is certainly an interesting idea. And if you keep the operating costs high enough, you'll ensure mundane goods will still have to be brought around by regular means, ensuring caravans will still be vulnerable to orc attacks, etc, so that 1st level adventurers have something to do. I guess...

My characters have always spent their money on objects outside their "job". It stands to reason they would want to do something else with their lives besides facing death every day. After all, if you dig ditches all day, would you spend all your pay on buying a better shovel?

What the hell is it with sanctimonious twits like you defining what is and isn't "allowed" in games? The point of RPGs is that they let the player decide what he wants to do. If you take away that freedom, you might as well be playing chess, Risk or go. Maybe not all of us are half-brained...
