If they want to encourage specific archetypes, then classes can have built in incentives to fulfill those archetypes. They don't need to be penalized for ditching the archetype, though, which is what the current proficiency system does.

Alright, if Hypersmurf's interpretation is correct, and I'm not implying its not, I want to be sure I understand the full ramifications. It sounds like the only restriction on movement is during the initial movement of a charge to an enemies position. That movement must be in an unobstructed...

A. And no AoO on the weapon. Side note, do Wizards articles carry any weight, or are they treated dubiously? A 2 year old article clearly allows multiple sunders per round, and sundering as an AoO. It uses the phrase "you use the attack or full attack action" same as Disarms, Grapples and...

"The subject gains a climb speed of 20 feet; furthermore, it need not make Climb checks to traverse a vertical or horizontal surface (even upside down)". Since taking damage while climbing causes you to make a Climb check, it depends on whether you feel the spirit of the ability is defined by...

After a long stint as DM, when I finally handed over the reigns and took my place in the players chair, I found out my dice were in bad need of some beneficial player mojo. Buddy of mine had an old 1E module signed by Gygax he was gracious enough to lend to me. I rubbed each dice over his...

Ken has apparently gotten a PDF publishing deal. He's selling V4 at RPGNow for $4. http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=5022&

A quick, free option available is Autorealm (download at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22266). The learning curve is pretty shallow. On the otherhand, its not as feature-rich as some of the other paidmappers out there (Dundjinni, Campaign Cartographer). I think its great...

The Scimitar doesn't have a link to a description, but it is included in the weapon chart: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/weapons.htm#tableWeapons (Martial One-handed Melee)

As much as I like True Sorcery, it likely falls in the "overwhelming" category. It's such a departure from DnD magic and is likely to be very jarring the first read through. That said, once you do learn it, its an awesome system IMO. The "spells" are really broad effects your character knows...

Valdier.com has some various superhero translations you can check out.

After three years, we're rebooting our campaign with a new DM. She has stated divine magics will be the standard for the setting and arcane magics will be rare. Access to new arcane spells have to be found, quested for, or otherwise approved by the DM. One of the players in the group is set on...

I threw in a 6. I try and stay in character with my actions and choices. But most of the other players in my game are 2's and 3's, so I yield to peer pressure to keep things fun for everyone and moving along.

For my TT games I generally end up doing rough hand-drawn maps on paper or our battlemat. If I do make a handout, or for all of my PbP games, I use Autorealm. I don't spend more than a half-hour with maps of either kind since accuracy is almost never an issue in either case.

Elfwood is definitely a good one. A couple others I've come across: Pen & Paper Art Gallery: http://www.pen-paper.net/artgallery/main.php Epilogue: http://www.epilogue.net/art/ Fantasya: http://www.fantasya.net/ Their fantasy art section used to be a good site. Dunno if they'll ever come...

We don't draw scale maps anymore, but we do draw map trees. It's very rare that the actual shape of the dungeon is an important enough aspect that a scale map is needed. Its generally enough to know where we've been, how we got there, and what areas still need to be explored.

Archus' site is the only one of which I'm aware: http://www.arcanearcade.com/wiki/index.php/HighArcana/AllSpells. There's some more good stuff on there aside from spells having to do with EoM, too. I'd be interested to know if there are any others.

I think only creatures with the Chaotic subtype would be unaffected. All other creatures would be affected in some way. On page 19 under the Effect Categories heading, it says most creatures count as neutral for purposes of alignment-based spells. The spells act on the Alignment Subtypes and not...

Awesome Dalamar! Thanks again for your work.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Quick question. In the appendix under the new Size Change enhancement for Transform, there is the following line: "A creature’s Strength score cannot be reduced below 1 this way, and its reach and speed obviously cannot be reduced below 0." In the paragraph immediately before this, it states...
