    Catfolk or Goatfolk - which would make a better "charger"

    Just from the point of view of my own personal take on which race is more interesting... take Goatfolk, but simply eliminate the racial HD. I don't see any reason they couldn't function sans those HD. Additionally, after eliminating those HD, the Goatfolk are left with a Headbutt (d6), Pack...

    A Band of Vikings

    Bring in an Archer type, and a Mariner Leader type (viking ship's captain). For a spell caster, you might have a Skald (think Viking Bard), who chronicles the adventure. For this skald, you might make him a divine bard variant (which, for Nordic style, fits better than an arcane option, at...

    Orcs: How Important Are They?

    I love Orcs, although I fancy them more like the LE 1st Edition variety, battling goblins on Acheron in their afterlife. Roger Moore's old articles really formed the basis for my Orcs.

    What would make a Good *D&D* Movie?

    I would go for Story First... using only the vaguest references to D&D rules. A good plot that uses only a rough outline that matches a renowned module would be ideal... something like Against the Giants or Keep on the Borderlands as a basic backdrop, then insert some characters but don't try...

    FR Human Illusionist build advice

    Work towards Shadow Adept (in the Players Guide to FR, and originally in the FR Campaign book). Soon as you take one level, you effectively get 3 Feats, and the whole Shadow Weave thing works well for Illusionists.

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    Thanks for the praise. I have been derailed by some real world constraints lately, so progress has stopped for a time. However, when Bill (CleanCutRogue) Logan gets the forums up over at StarFrontiersman.com , I plan to move this disscussion over there where I might get more input like yours...

    Advice: How to get Charisma bonus to Saves

    Seconding the option of taking Paladin (or appropriate variant) to get Divine Grace. Charisma bonus to All Saves is awesome.

    Rogues - what do you do against undead and constructs?

    No.. I said a Holy Undead Bane Weapon (total +4, 32K) and/or Undead Bane Ghost Touch Weapon (+3 total, 18k). I was giving options, since I do not know the types of undead primarily involved (maybe lots of different ones). And on the subject of cost, loaner from temples or town they are saving...

    What features would you put in a custom gaming table?

    Put laptop areas at each place setting, but also build inserts that can be placed in that area if a particular player is w/o laptop.

    Rogues - what do you do against undead and constructs?

    Just get Undead Bane, Holy Daggers (+4d6 to most evil undead) to get by while you are in this necropolis. Maybe a Ghost Touch Undead Bane for the occasional incorporeal undead. Better than burning Feats for wishy-washy Sneak Attack options... better to use those feats more productively.

    What features would you put in a custom gaming table?

    For chairs, I suggest that you look to your local chapter of Freecycle (do a google search). It is a great site to get stuff like chairs and such that folks no longer need... and everything is FREE!! Just post a request, and let all the good natured folks contact you with their free stuff.

    Some Information on Gleemax social networking

    The color scheme seems to cater to the computer game crowd moreso than the rpg people. Hopefully they will have the ability to apply skins or change color schemes. I would not be very interested in looking at neon green on black for any length of time, and it might sound silly, but that would...
