I ran a Ghostwalk campaign. It was awesome, though we never managed to finish it. The central plot involved an incursion from the Far Realms of kaorti psions (and their dromite and thri-kreen servitors) who sought to take the city of Manifest and seize the portal to the afterlife. I built...

Yes, and no. --G

The implied setting is different from all the settings they plan to release. AFAICR they never released a 3.* Greyhawk campaign setting. More importantly, they goobered Greyhawk everywhere in the spells, so putting default setting in the feats isn't quite the catastrophe you make it out to...

No. --G

Damn. I guess I'll have to hand in my grognard card since I only started playing in 1983. --G

And Scott, given who's saying that, it's really quite impressive. I've gotten the impression that Irda Ranger not so much on the fence as looking warily at it trying to decide whether it's worth the time to climb up on it. I could be wrong about that, but that's been my sense from his posts. --G

So here's my thought. Go with a pair of mercenary medusa sorceresses. Bump their charisma up high. Then, start hitting the squishies with petrification gazes. Take out the low fort save types and then focus on the heavy hitters. Lock down enough of the party and then give them the choice...

Why is capturing important? Who is doing the capturing? --G

I guess I should surrender my law license too? I suppose it's true: get three lawyers in a conversation and you'll get six opinions on liability. :) --G

So you're suggesting that if you reasonably relied on representations made by WotC about their release dates, and they bungled it up, costing you money and leaving you with product you couldn't release, you wouldn't have a cause of action? Because to me that sounds like you might have a...

You know, given that most of the smaller d20 houses have gone under, WotC may be delaying on the SRD/rules on the advice of counsel. When 3.0 came out, they could get away with being a little laid back about putting out the rules early (via the Gentleman's Agreement). When 3.5 came out, major...

It's been done. Spelljammer. Although in fairness, in Spelljammer, the hamster link was with the gnomes . . . . WAIT!! THAT'S IT!!! Drow are the new gnomes! --G

I don't know. I kinda like the idea of playing an infernal warlock who gets his power from an imp he beat up and imprisoned. Now, he uses the imp's power to fight for what is right and good. If the opportunity comes up, maybe he'll imprison a stronger demon. The beauty of this option is that...

It's not the size of your stick, it's how you cast your spells. --G

Gilgamesh was 2/3 god. Thor was a god. Cuchulain was half-god. Achilles was a half-god (and subsequently had a full body enchantment applied). These characters suffer from the same trait that Merlin and Gandalf have. They aren't good baselines for epic heroes from a D&D standpoint. --G

Did Keith state that in relation to 4e Tieflings or just 3e Tieflings? There's a major change occurring in what the term means. It may require a slight shift in the Eberron setting. --G

Provided you meant 7 fleeing, and 7 returning, I think you're right. --G

With all due respect (and a healthy dose of wryness): Who cares? That's one sacred cow that's been answering to the name "Cheeseburger" for too long! I'm glad to see the alignment system going the way of polio. Yeah, it'll still be out there, and when it crops up it'll be dangerous, but for...

But the whole wands, staffs, orbs thing was from September. Yes, it changed. Now, instead of needing implements for every spell, you get powers depending on your implement specialization. That doesn't sound like a major mechanical revision. It sounds like a minor tweak. We also heard that a...

First, we don't have an idea of what "constant flux" means. It could mean that they're considering a d12 mechanic. It could mean that they cannot decided whether the Purple Albatross school of feats will have 12 feats with each giving a progressive +1 to Dex Attack Bonus or whether there will...
