Do all Improved Familiars lose their existing Type and become Type "Magical Beast"? This seems illogical, if so. I mean, a pseudodragon all of a sudden isn't a dragon anymore? A quaist is no longer an outsider?

More or less. So your read is that this character would be able to have up to a 5 hit die animal of any kind and up to a 6 hit die cat. What about the precident with wizards and their familiars? If you are a wizard and a sorcerer, your wizard + sorcerer levels are used to determined the...

Shadowdancers' shadows are said to be the same as those from the MM, except for their alignment. However, shadows from the MM can create spawn if they reduce their targets to 0 strength. These spawn serve the shadow that created them. Shadowdancers gain the ability to summon additional...

I have a player who has a 5th level Druid/3rd level Catlord. The Catlord is allowed cat companion animal(s) of up to his hit dice x 2, even if he's an adventurer. Would this stack with the druid's animal companion abilities (thus allowing an 8 HD dire tiger or even an 11 hit die dire tiger that...

I suppose it never occurred to me that it might just be the way things were intended. It feels like a mistake. Unfortunately that's only effective for the first attack (or whichever attack the defender chooses--it need not be the first). Well, versus the person you're attacking. If there's...

I was reading the combat chapter closely the other day and noticed that on Large mounts, you are considered to be in the back square of your mount. For a visual representation, X will represent horse, O, man. Horse: XX --> (facing) Man: O --> (facing) Man on Horse: OX --> (facing) So my...

Re: Re: Old post reply The amount taxes would have to be raised would be minimal. If we stopped public funding of spectator sports, we could probably afford at least a couple of commercials. That'd be worth it. Anyway, the point is I don't think anyone who takes news seriously uses any TV...

Yeah, but the problem is that it "works". That is to say the characters' skewed perspectives on what all men and all women do in fact translates to the reality of the story. Furthermore, all of the characters share the same notions, or if they don't, they're learning that those notions are...

Again, can you provide examples? No. Of course. I just didn't feel comfortable letting an attack on public broadcasting to go unsubstantiated.

I mostly listen to NPR rather than watch PBS, and the majority of thier news, these days, is about war. PBS does plenty of work on war, too, and though I don't watch the McNeil/Lehrer News Hour that often, when I have, it's always about the issues of the day. I ask this this aggressively...

Nothing is off-limits in my game. That said, explicit sexual descriptions usually don't happen. No one role plays having sex. That's probably because it's all men, all but one of which are straight, and 1.5 of which have...

My problem with Jordan's gender roles isn't even the one you list (he's ta'veren (or however you spell it; it's been a while), and he's got that whole, "bending your will," thing and besides which, it fits a nice fantasy (not sexual) trope, the king with three brides). It's more that Jordan...

It was certainly inaccurate to label it as an accusation, since there wasn't any specific accusation, there was more a tone of accusation (in the way I read it). I thought you were exaggerating, but that doesn't mean it's not something you believe. The implicit message is that PBS has or would...

This is a pretty wild accusation without any backup.

In my last homebrew world there were plenty of male-only socieities and PrCs. The world was fairly misogynistic (in character), and women found adventuring would receive scorn in much of the "civilized" world. My orc variant sort of turned orcs into gorillas, where the males were much larger...

That read on the situation is merely a convenient way for you to ignore your own failing. Indeed, I fail to see how you can conclude anything else, since the truth, if you accepted it, would be ego-damaging. Here it is, nonetheless. It is not that you have an opinion with which I disagree...

The problem, therefore, is your mind. What do swashbucklers fight with? Chicken legs? No, they mostly fight with swords. So you leaped to a conclusion, then instead of adjusting your mind to reality, you decided it was reality that was all screwed up. You decided to invent your own...

Someone stop him, before he posts again! Won't someone think of the children?! Won't someone please think about the children???!!!

It is in keeping with the general daftness and cluelessness that you display in this post and in the rest of the thread that you miss the fact that the Comic Book Guy is meant to be a vicious satire of everything you represent.

As long as it's not being published. Out of the 5 ideas I sent to Dragon, this is the weakest, but if there's a shot, I'd like the chance to develop it more properly.
