    Relax, Monte has it here.

    Book of Vile Darkness

    Corrupt Weapon became Distort Weapon (and Corrupt Summons became Distort Summons). Unfortunately it was not updated in spell lists. You can find a pretty comprehensive errata and clarification on Monte's site in the forums. edit: mispelled errata :eek:

    [OT] Which do you think are the best fantasy novels/authors?

    I read the first series but didn't really like them. I can't really say why, but they just didn't engage me.

    [OT] Which do you think are the best fantasy novels/authors?

    Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders series and her Assassin series are both excellent.

    [Extremely OT]: Engagement Rings

    I have to disagree with you here. The only reason not to go with platinum is cost. I have a white gold ring and a platinum ring. Both are just as brilliant and shiny, and neither has tarnished one iota.

    [Extremely OT]: Engagement Rings

    Let me reiterate other people in saying that you should pick out the ring together. You can still surprise her on when and where you ask. If you want to buy a diamond, shop around. Really shop around. And take the time to learn about diamonds. If you go to some place like Zales (or other chain...

    ANyone know where I can find a Plague Bearer Template or PrC?

    Pretty much exactly everything you want is right here on the WotC site.

    OT: Share useless Trivia!

    Re: Re: Re: A crapload of trivia. Really? Under what conditions? I can't think of a single word where W is a vowel. It would be cool to see some examples.

    OT: Share useless Trivia!

    Re: A crapload of trivia. No. See here. "y" is considered a vowel in this word. It is the only letter that can be either a vowel or consonant, but which is is depends on the placement and function in the word. Thus is rhythms it is a vowel, but in yak it is a consonant. You can try this...

    [OT] Giant bird spotted off Alaska

    Condors (although not native to Alaska) can exceed 10 ft. wingspan. The Stellar's Eagle can exceed 8 ft. The 14 ft reported cannot be taken as accurate, but it could definitely be a very large bird and the Stellar's Eagle does live in Alaska. And even though I am a scientist, I have to say to be...

    My problem with vile darkness

    I'm probably starting some sort of flame war now, but I have to know if you have already read the book so you can make such a statement that all the BoVD does is make evil icky & gross. After all, the name was chosen because it was the name of an item in the DMG. Monte Cook says on his own...

    The Book of Vile Darkness - it is mine, review within

    They could have treated it in the same fashion, but my point was that the books serve different purposes. One is to let you play CoC fully and completely. The other is to add evil to your villains in a standard D&D game (not epic or statted gods game). BTW, the players in CoC are not meant to...

    The Book of Vile Darkness - it is mine, review within

    But CoC d20 is a stand alone game. Investigators aren't supposed to be epic levels ever and if they do encounter the gods, it's only so they can go insane and die. CoC does have deity stats, but they are an abbreviated version of what's in Deities & Demigods. Furthermore, the gods aren't meant...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    I for one, still don't buy all of your complaints. If you buy the PHB you spend $30. Then you have everything you need because the bulk of the rest of the books are in the SRD. The PHB has the magic system already in it. You don't need to create your own. The SRD has monsters and magic items...

    OT Congrats Louisville

    The second half was a MUCH better game than the first half. Now, as long as Virginia Tech stops W. Michigan, my alma mater will move up from 5th to at least 4th in all the rankings.

    [BoVD]Well, since I can't seem to post this on Wizards forums...

    This I definitely disagree with. A character who is good or evil by alignment restrictions does not have to always make the choice that is good (or evil). Such actions that don't always conform to alignment don't automatically change or invalidate alignment either. Now some characters (paladins...

    [BoVD]Well, since I can't seem to post this on Wizards forums...

    That is assuming that the orc knew why he was being attacked. Maybe in your campaign all the bad guys realize that they are being attacked for some bad thing they did, but in RL and in other campaigns that may not be the case. The orc could think that there are just crazy adventurers bent on...
