While watching Troy (which I admit was a pretty good movie) I found myself wondering about its accuracy in regards to the stories and myths that the movie is based on. Exactly how closely does it follow the stories? I've read some of them several years ago, but my mind is fuzzy on details. Some...

Isn't there a PrC in CW that allows you to flank from multiple squares as well?

This question is short and simple. Can a property listed as Melee only be placed onto ammunition (arrows, for example?) IE, could a Wizard make 50 +3 Vorpal Arrows?

I remember hearing CoR came about when Vin Diesel decided he wanted to do a trilogy that he would be known for, much like Willis's Die Hard, Gibson's Mad Max (or I guess Lethal Weapon), or Harrison's Indiana. Originally, his idea was to make the series based on his character from Fast and...

I believe the article in mention was a DnD-ization of "real world mystical artifacts" I believe stats were also given for the Jewish Golem, and a few other real world items. In the article the Sphinx was actually some kind of massive creature that slumbered for several centuries, or some...

In a game that I particularly like, Earthdawn, to use magic items you had to attune with them. In Earthdawn I'm pretty sure you spent the XP equivalent to attune to magical items, but that wasn't it. In Earthdawn, all magical items were special. So to get to the first tier of power, you might...

Awesone Blow sounds ... well ... awesome! :p Where, pray tell, can this feat be found?

Heh. My players LOATHE spending XP on anything. Not once has one ever even CONSIDERED taking a magic item creation feat. Bunch of greedy munchkins! The above quote reflects a similar system which I plan on implementing in my next campaign, and which I originally got from these boards. Imagine...

I often subscribe to threads that I like or find interesting, and by default subscribe to all threads that I post to. But recently, I noticed I hadn't been receiving any email notifications. :( I checked and it says I have all of my threads set to instant notification ... and just to check...

I always assumed that somehow he had actually went to a different planet, or maybe a different dimension, so when he went back in time he found that he was still on Ape world. Alternatively, you could figure that his efforts in the future caused some Apes to go back in time and rewrite history...

I read a series of novels where a group of DnD-like game players were transported into the game world. Levels were based on an Alphabetical code, so, for example, Ralph was a class R fighter (pretty high) The characters in the books often thought that way, although they were really players in...

Ever since I heard the name of the new Vampire Slayer (Van Helsing) movie coming out, something has tugged at my mind in familiarity. Just yesterday, me and a friend finally knocked it loose. Van Helsing was the name of the Vampire Slayer trapped in an alternate dimension/hole in time battling...

I feel a need to point out the Rifts in d20 Yahoo! Group. Note, however, that most work here has shut down since Palladium came down on us and told us we couldn't post anything allowing for any conversions. It seems that company policy forbids them from EVER changing systems, or from ever...

I'll admit my example was quite extreme. In playtesting, maybe you'd be right, or maybe I would. Honestly, I have no idea 'cause I've never used this variant. My earlier post was just my guy instinct. ;) I am interested to hear how it plays out, however. My guy instinct might say it isn't...

Deities and Demigods I beleive.

Ah ok. That makes sense to me then. Variety is the spice of life and all. ;)

Return of the King - Pippin's song as Faramir and his riders charge to doom Braveheart - Wallace's speech to his army ... "Everyman dies. But not everyman truly lives" Braveheart - "Freedom!" Below - When the flashlight moves across the port hole and a face is there ... Fight Club - too many...

I can certainly understand your players point. When you're bring hit for 3d6+15 (the amount a Fire Giant [a CR 10 critter!] does with a greatsword before any Power Attack) 4/- DR doesn't do much. Sure you're only taking 3d6+11. But when he hits you twice and hits the guy next to you without DR...

Here is my girlfriend's background in a campaign I am running right now. Note that her character didn't come in at 1st but instead replaced her other character who I killed off ( :heh: sorry honey) when she was roughly 11th or so. A new character with this background would be a Sorceror, aiming...
