I hopped into this thread to suggest fortification and pretty much agree with what Celebrim said. I especially agree that fortification could be divorced from armor and given over entirely to helms. I think 5% is too low for the baseline, however. I'd not go below 10% in order to justify the...

It is not at all unusual: the first thing a new competitor wants to do after suffering completing Iron DM, he wants to try his hand at tyranny judging.

That's exactly what we did in the revision. My original thought was that characters of varying DEX might benefit from the feat at different levels, but that distinction is not worth the added book-keeping.

Big push on Veteran's Day! GlassJaw and I are working today to make sure that all errata, comments, and clarifications are up to date, and Brad has cleared the decks for his own final push. (If I'm reading him correctly, he sent his wife and kids into exile so that he could finish!) Looking at...

He'll have to hit you harder in Pathfinder, because they nerfed death by massive damage! :p

Breaking the statues and peeing on the altars.

Keep your fingers crossed... Brad the Layout Guru says, "Within the week..." Brad is a perfectionist-- my blessing and my curse. But I think folks will be happy with the results of the wait.

Welcome-- and thanks!

That is the Godwin's Law equivalent of RPG discussions. Instant FAIL. But for the record, I agree 100% with this:

Sweet mercy at last... Good luck in the finals, IVV!

Glad to know everything is all right. You are not the first contestant to wither, and probably won't be the last. Lord knows it has happened to me. As I said early on (I think?), sometimes it's hard enough just crossing the finish line at all. My usual process is to get the ingredients, write...

No, I just didn't want to go with the usual Xenoxyxzyzy kind of beholder name. I wanted something a little more mobbed-up.

I don't know what's up with IVV, but I'm willing to be as accomodating as necessary to get two entries and a judgment.

UGH. I got called away today at work twice-- once to stand in as an extra on a video shoot, once so they could announce our first departmental case of Swine Flu-- so this is not as polished as I had hoped. A PERNICIOUS QUARREL An adventure of dastardly diplomacy for up to 8th level PCs...

None that I notice. I also have a BenQ projector (not sure what model off the top of my head) but it is really, really bright. I do suspect that by the time I own a home with a dedicated "Game Room" (fingers crossed everyone!) I am far more likely just to buy a big LCD screen and lay it flat...

Just, of course you know, be careful. Because if you do it wrong, your ass is mine.

Yes and no. I don't claim any particular copyright over the mechanics themselves (let's not get into that discussion), merely to the words as written. So just don't copy those words. (For now. See below *.) Anything else that's OGC from Ch2 and beyond, feel free to make use of your...

Leonardo da Vinci? I honestly don't know. But I believe in my heart that the ancient Greeks would have idolized their great thinkers (while keeping them distinct from their great mythological heroes, who I suppose enjoyed an adulation similar to what we consider Fame).

That's my setup. IKEA makes several good frosted-white tabletops. My setup however uses a mirror to increase the throw distance, which still isn't big enough for my tastes; has been known to get nudged by feet during play; and certainly isn't easy enough to set up and take down. It would be...

Fortunately I already have "Surly Unhelpful Old Man" and "Surly Unhelpful Old Woman" down pat. Although they use the same voice. Which is mostly just my voice. Only surly and unhelpful, which really lets me stretch my acting chops.
