    Need dark, gothic-feel music

    Well, I guess you could try Gregorian chants. . . They're in latin and have a definite lonely feel to them, especially if they were recorded in a cathedral to give the resonance of the building an important role. For something with actual music, I might suggest Henryk Gorecki. His Symphony No. 3...

    How EPIC is Epic-Level Handbook?

    The spells can also be found in the fourth volume of the Wizard's Spell Compendium. Amazon.com says they have 5 left in stock.

    What is considered ok for paladins in your game?

    I'm of the idea that good does not equal stupid. I can see most of these being used in some situations. I think most of us would allow the disguise skill. Sneak attacks just mean that you are able to strike precisely when the oppenent is vulnerable. Taking advantage of vulnerabilities isn't...

    What' your favorite class handbook?

    I agree that they're great books and extremely good for ideas. I would have probably thought Mercurials swords were silly if I hadn't read the book, but Wolfe does present it in a great way. I think if introduced into a campaign the same way (as a unique item, even if non-magical), it could work...

    War of Souls any good?

    Well, I've only read the first book so far, but will get the second when I can find it in a used book store. I thought it was rather good, but not quite as engaging as Chronicles or Legends. This might be because I never really cared for the 5th age stuff to begin with.

    Dragonlance since the Time of the Twins

    But Sturm was never a paladin, and he was only briefly a Knight of Solamnia. And Lord Soth already set precedence for the seductive abilities of the Knights. . .

    Speedy Halflings and Sluggish Humans

    I don't think that this is a good idead because mainly stronger and more dextrous people aren't necessarily faster at all. Dexterity is both hand-eye cordination (grace) and reflex (how fast you respond to a change in situation). It has nothing to do with base movement rates at all. And if you...

    Magical Aging

    Can't a ghost cause magical aging? Or did they remove that ability in 3E? I don't have my MM with me so I can't check.

    is there such thing as a good FR novel?

    I agree with this. I read the novel out of curiosity and the fact I found it in a used book store. However, all it really did was drive home the fact that Elminster really is Elmunchkin. From now on, if I want to read about anyone's "Oldest & Greatest" character, I'll read the old threads by...

    Blade Barrier

    Hmm, good questions. 1. Yes. Otherwise you wouldn't get a reflex save at all, which is a bit unfair. So extra movement is allowed. 2. Take reflex save and move immediately. If I'm going to allow the extra movement in case one because it is a saving throw, then I have to give the movement for...

    WoT-- Book 10 has a title.

    But is there any idea when it will be released?

    [WAY OT] PayPal problems?

    I've had no problems at all. I've used it to buy 3 different items and got prompt & good service.

    Wizards Custserv response on Total Defense

    Well, that's one out of 22 in that Dragon Magazine. Everyone is occasionally going to make a mistake. I would hesitate to call it falling down on the job unless it happened quite frequently. If you can point out one in each Dragon (or even 1 out of every three or four), I might be wiling to...

    Wizards Custserv response on Total Defense

    Well, I don't really know about the cust.serv people, but I would like to hear evidence on how the Sage (Skip Williams) isn't really cutting it. He might not have everything exactly right, but I think most of the time he does a good job. I also don't see your point about no concrete rules...

    Extreme MM Inflation

    Except that $22.69 is quite a weird price for a book to be listed at. I expect it's 26.95 and the first "2" is the mistake.

    [BADD] How would a Dragon MOVE its hoard?

    [OT, Olympics] Russia pulling out?

    In order to avoid any more of these controversies over "who got robbed" of a gold medal, I think the IOC should eliminate the silver medal and just award two golds. Now every country can stop whining. ;)

    Something You're Not Going to Believe

    I know you mean well when you say this, but I find it disturbing that a GM might actually read this game in an effort to get ideas for fringe groups, even pathetic and evil ones.

    Reviews reporting

    While in general I think it's useful to put up links to all the sites with reviews, I definitely don't visit all of them. Basically there are just a few sites where I go for my reviews simply because I don't have time to read all the reviews. However, if the review is for something I'm...
