Quests are okay. Especially for weapons. Armor, though, is a lot less frequently found as a quested item in literature. The only quested armor I can recall from fiction is the Armor of Bronze from the Drenai books...and even that came with a cool sword. And can you really seriously have a...

Notice that the Superior (defense) feats are generally always worth taking. In particular, the Superior Fortitude giving Resist 3/6/9 against Ongoing damage is pretty huge. Man, I may have to wiggle some feats around. Brad

Thanks! I'm going to go lie down and twitch spastically about some of the feat stacking one can do now. :)

While we're asking ignorant questions: You *can* use existing feats with Essentials stuff, right? Brad

I needed a name for a game, and, without any immediate source of inspiration, took two insurance companies' names and modified them. Brad

Exactly. I think there's often a disconnect between what a DM thinks is cool and what a player thinks is cool, and then the DM is shocked when the players disenchant or sell the item he thought was perfectly awesome and flavorful. The best example was a ring that showed up in our Birthright...

Yup. Same if you use the Butterfly Sandals. Brad

Also, the sorcerer kings have no vested interest in improving the situation. They're very much on top, and any sort of quality of life improvement doesn't help them at all. So, yes, they likely could make elemental forges that would smelt iron into steel with minimal use of wood, or transmute...

Well, the Tyr region is relatively small, relative to the planet's probable surface area. The mine at Tyr may well be the only deposit they can get to with Stone Age technology. By this point, garbage dumps have probably been mined out of any of their metal, and any metal has been recycled a...

Hrm, I thought I saw the DDXP goliath, er, half-giant had a metal greatsword. Brad

Of course, avengers aren't available in Dark Sun save for DM Fiat due to that whole pesky "no divine" thing. But, yes, that would be a both effective and potentially hilarious combo. :) Brad

Mine got sold a while back at the used bookstore in Woodbridge, VA. They actually might've sold, unlike my copy of the old Babylon Project game (which was still there, last I checked). The world book for Dangerous Journeys was pretty decent, though if you tried to read through it at once it'd...

Per the Capital Weather Gang on the Washington Post, it'll likely brush up the East Coast and hit in Canada about Saturday, though it'll depend on how other systems develop and how they push at it. Also, on how the Atlantean weather machines are working this week. ;) Brad

...that's what I was thinking, too. Never actually looked at Lejendary Adventures to the best of my knowledge. Brad

I enjoyed it quite a lot, actually. It was good, semi-mindless fun. There was a bit of a plot, but really it was an excuse to blow things up. Brad

My Shadowrun upbringing requires me to think of all elves as "Dandelion Eaters." For devas, I'd say "Featherheads" or something like that. Brad

Indeed. While I could put out some serious damage if all my hits connected, my rogue was horribly frail. (shudder) Brad

I know I'd've loved to've kept Healing Strike on my cleric. Brad

I found this quite useful on my cleric-pit fighter. It doesn't mark the target or anything, so it doesn't interfere with the warden's marking, but it adds in extra damage, and occasionally has come in INCREDIBLY handy. This is also quite fun, especially if you have a bard who can move you...

In my freshman year of college, our Shadowrun games had high levels of lethality, such that we'd typically have new characters every other session. One of those, Sid, was designed to fire full-automatic bursts of ten rounds from his Ares Alpha combatgun and still have a target number of 2...
