That sounds like a personal problem.

Yes, yes, mathematics is a science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity, shape, arrangement, and change. However, that's pretty clearly not what was meant. It seems pretty damn obvious he meant the functions that everybody gets taught in....say it with me....math...

Had been working on a cosmology featuring: Endless worlds in the Space Between, both deific and mortal. An Abyss that breaches the borders of creation. The Elemental Heart, the swirling maelstrom from which all matter was formed. A 'darker' and 'brighter' reflection of the world, though mine...

I'll take an evocative compound word - or phrase, or regular word - over some more unpronounceable apostrophe-laden 'ae'-happy fantasy names, thanks. It fits in better with a world largely unmapped and unknown, too - all the sages have is the name they gave it in a vain attempt to describe an...

Caution! Response to hypothetical outcome of hints only! Nice to see the rogue stealing some of his stuff back. And, it being the rogue, he can even leave the wizard alive to do it.

Having wanted pretty much everything they've said about the planes, from 'pockets' in an Astral Sea (even if you can't sail it, it sounds like what fantasy types might call it) to separated demons and devils (hell, even the Tharizdun thing works for me!), and in light of the increased local...

It's really about time this was brought into core. Everybody I know and their dog just house rules it this way anyway.

Oh yes please.

I continue to think that we'll see an 'artifice' power source come around, rolling up artificers and gnomish tinkers and alchemy, with warforged and gnomes as full player races to show them off. Nature seems likely, as well, and psionics are an obvious choice. I'm not totally sold on ki, but...

Yeah, given the number of 2e games with kender and pixie PCs (see also W:tA games with PC Nuwisha) I've played in, I'm perfectly willing to let "trickster" get phased out of the party roles.

Every message board says this about every mod they have. For all that, very few mods ever seem to actually quit. They just get killed and have their stuff taken. By broken gish Christmas Trees, as long as it's before 9:05 am. (I'm sick of it too, but nerd rage is hi-larious!)

I'm a big fan of in-character stuff, but no more so than not conducting fights with boffer weapons and hired extras.

This was all real interesting (if self-congratulatory), but I believe you've misunderstood. From my reading of the quote, it seems clear to me he's talking about homebrewing monsters for AD&D 1st and 2nd edition.

Saves-as-defenses is winning me over.

I'm on board with optional companions, especially the paladin's mount. If they're doing away with the most obvious part of the class - LG only - they should drop the half-hearted "mounted knight" thing as well.

When it comes to outsiders, 'a state of grace' is literal.

Personal theory: 'Rampage' relates to it being a 'Hulk'. No idea what the terms mean, but my brain draws a line through 'monster roles' and between those two.

Tedious prep work is tedious prep work, whether you think it helps or not. And while I'd agree with you that monsters aren't hard to design, they're monstrously hard to apply an appropriate CR to (let alone a correct\ one), and encounters can be hard to balance. Too hard, some say. Who ever said...

Well, I've only ever seen ONE PC use a double weapon (wild elf paladin w/double scimitar, drawn from the Valenar Bladebearer idea 4 years before Eberron hit) so I don't really care. It makes sense (though the cost is too high) for quarterstaves, chains, and the back end of polearms, and some...

Yeah, it looks like trying to describe a race with an unfamiliar name to a new player is hard. As long as you go to great lengths to avoid offering any actual information about the race, but that counts, right? Besides the contrived idea that while he's got no idea what an eladrin is (because...
