I know you are just trying to be cute and throw my post back in my face, but if you reread what I've posted you will see no such assumption. I talk about moms and dads ... but I never say that there is one of each. All I merely say is that I've seen good dads and bad dads ... and good moms and...

No. All small creatures with a speed less than 30 do. I believe Kobolds are the most notables who are small and retain a speed of 30. There are others, though.

Actually, assuming that the OP puts gaming ahead of children, I think this is great advice. It is wrong to assume that everyone should think that children are more important than gaming. It is correct, however, to assume that those who have accepted the responsibility of children should put...

While I think some of the advice in this post is warranted, I am deeply offended by one significant point of content. Why do you assume that the poster is male? I don't see anything in the post to so assume. I agree that the OP's username and western culture implies that the OP is most likely...

One power? Unless you are talking about your revised version, perhaps. But if it only gives you one power, I'll take Expanded Knowledge any day. If it gives you the potential for more than one power, then you should say "1 power for each time after you ..." May or may not be difficult...

I've long since thought that random rolls were dumb. I've also thought it dumb that most monster entries dont give full hitpoints for the first level. That's dumb, too, but the subject for another thread. I use a 75% based on class level - not character level. So, 1st character level is at...

Since you are from Toronto ... Instead of looking at the Aussie thread in Meta, check in on rycanada's thread in meta. Much the same content, just geographically specific to you! :D

Henry already posted most of my thoughts, so if you've read his post, just consider this a vote for what he said. In addition to that, though, when you create a psionic NPC, remember how long you expect them to be a part of the game. If you anticipate them only being around for three rounds...

Heh. My parents were one of those 80's parents that could've written that "tract" comic that people occasionally post links to. I think they've grown a lot and are generally more accepting, now. Although, when they come to visit I'll still likely close the door on the shelves where my books...

Add me to the list of people who really like psionics. Given the chance, I'd like to dump spell level systems (vancian) and go with psionics - or some type of "general pool" system. These might encompass ToM ideas, too. In general, the tip above about making sure they stick to their...

Okay, here's another example of how to perceive scrolls. Think of them as the power cord to your computer. Unless the spell being cast is specifically good, lawful, evil, or chaotic the scroll is just a conductor. It knows how to plug into something, get some mojo, and operate what you want...

I think the fact that everyone posting in this thread - except the OP - is saying that the feat is too strong says something. Something like ... this feat is too strong. :D Add me to that list. I really like the idea above of one power per feat taken, and it can be swapped for free upon...

Well, I've stated this concept before and it has usually gotten good reviews. The only criticism it routinely gets is that it doesn't take optimal advantage of WF and WS for the deity's weapon. But, you can't have ait all. With your spells known, you can take all the Summon Monster 1-IX, a...

Ischarus breathed in quickly at the recognition of the name. “You know what? Forget what I said earlier. I think we can now safely concur that the wizard in Eberdeen is behind this all.” Brandt offered a confused look back to Ischarus. “You can determine this simply from hearing Theirin’s...

I also have always seen them as creative "errata." Of course, they aren't errata because there is technically nothing wrong with the original design. Well, nothing wrong in game mechanics terms. But I have imagined that these came about when a game designer looked back on something in the PHB...

Thank you very much! :o If you like the way my mind thinks and processes, feel free to read and comment on my Story Hours (See post 5 of this thread for links in the sig). They are completely fictional, although I do use D&D 3.5 as a construct for reality. What I mean by that is I actually...

Of course! Just because something is fantasy doesn't mean there isroom at the table for everything. You may have different limits than I do, but we all have limits as to how far our minds will be allowed to dream before we cannot participate realistically. I'll try to give an example. I once...

I've never bought any besides MM1. There are too many classed monsters and really weird monsters in MM2 - MM5. By weird I mean designs that ask me to suspend reality too far. Of course, there's nothing wrong with buying them, this isn't a critique. Just explaining why I don't buy them.

I enjoy seeing the game designer's viewpoints, but I hate writing in my books and I hate keeping track of the loose papers even more. So, I find errata academically interesting, but unimplemented in actual game play.

It was another day before Semeion woke up from his magical rest. Once Semeion regained consciousness and it was determined that there wasn’t anything lasting that was wrong with him, the acolytes underneath Brandt’s authority explained that the sleep which the party had been put under was a...
