I looked through the forums but didn't see anything about this posted anywhere, and I thought it was absolutely interesting enough to warrant discussion on the forums. Apparently the FBI had Gary, and TSR in general, under surveillance for possible connections to the Unabomber case. Here's a...

I'm pretty certain that yards/feet vis a vis outdoors/indoors for ranged attacks only affected range, not area of effect. (That's how we've always interpreted it.) The DMG explains it as being from superior ceiling height and visibility conditions (therefore you could arc a missile rather than...

1. 41 2. 15 3. I'm a boy 4. Hmmm... I really can't recall anything actually being difficult about it; it was pretty straightforward and I'd been wanting to play for a long time before I was finally able to find people to play with. Trying to think... actually yeah, that was the most...

Well whatever it was, my brain associated the yucky sick feeling and vomiting with the mayo, fairly or not. Not a fun time, and I still can't touch the stuff, as much as I'd love to.[emoji40] [emoji33] Sent from my VS880PP using EN World mobile app

OK, I'll preface my post by saying I haven't read all 93 pages of this thread, only about 3 pages out of every 10 or so. I have a very ambivalent relationship with the 'Realms. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I absolutely hate it. The Old Grey Box, I loved. That was a setting I could get...

I always liked the way the 2E Monster Mythology described Corellon as being both male and female since "he" is the Elven Creator God and thus has attributes of both mother and father as befitting the all-encompassing divine "parent" of the Elven race, and also as "he" represents all of...

Would that include books with smeared ink? With all of my core books, PH, DMG, and MM (from the very first printing batch, I assume, since I had them all pre-ordered them from Amazon and got them as soon as they were available) the first time I opened them the ink would smear whenever I touched...

I never remember Corellon actually specifically being referred to as a hermaphrodite, but always as androgynous, even though "he" was mostly referred to as male; in fact, "his" first appearance in the 1E Deities & Demigods consistently referred to him as "he" (quotation marks included) and said...

Gurney Halleck! I'm feel sorry for anyone who has never heard a song or bit of music that got their blood pumping and stirred their heart. Sent from my VS880PP using EN World mobile app

I'm really liking the War Mage Tradition. I could easily see an Eldritch Knight choosing to shift his focus into pure Wizardy later in his career and muticlassing into the War Mage Tradition, what with the same focus on Evocation and Abjuration magic for both Classes. The Theurgy Tradition...

Of course you can. All it takes is time and money.

Something like this might actually be able to entice me and my friends to give minis a try one more time, as I have been an avid Lego fan since I began collecting the Space series around 1984, and the Knights as soon as they started releasing that line. Just a few months ago I completed my...

Those kinds of names don't bother me, as they're just descriptive. Now, if they were rendered as "LanDark" or "FortIron" it would come across as incredibly cheesy to me. Not saying anything objective about, just my personal taste, and to me that feels incredibly twee. As for Nirvana, I...

I will admit right from the start that I genuinely despise everything about 4E, from the mechanics to the setting. But separating the flavor from the mechanics, one of the things that really made my stomach churn about the 4E setting flavor was the names, as petty as that may seem. Feywild...

As Blue said, the Spear Master Feat from the Feats Unearthed Arcana article takes care of everything you asked for, which I think is the best way to handle it. Those abilities of the spear are due to training and drilling with the weapon. My current character is a Favored Soul Sorcerer with...

In what way is it a prejudiced opinion? Prejudiced means pre-judging, as in asserting something is true without testing it. We have tested it, multiple times, and always found it to be lacking for us. That is the opposite of a prejudiced opinion. Also, I said To the people in all of my...

We never use miniatures. To the people in all of my gaming groups, using minis reduces the game to a tactical miniatures game instead of a role-playing game, a more complicated game of chess, and takes us out of our characters' minds and thinking "what would my character do in this situation"...

I read the Zealot and immediately thought of Samson.

Hmmm... I wasn't even considering archery or the problem of stacking with Sharpshooter, in my mind this was a melee only feat. I'll have to add that in, Melee Weapons Only (and I guess change the name to Melee Weapon Specialization.) And my thinking behind the way the Feat works was based on...
