As many have stated before: I will be getting the core books. I have no doubt about that. Anything beyond that will depend on a variety of things: How much I like the system What my group is playing If I even have group I'm playing with Available cash and time Beyond buying enough books to...

Some people are better suited to certain types of characters. I don't think that is in doubt. Some people are better tacticions, some people can keep thousands of spells straight in their head and some people can talk circles around others at the drop of a hat. But the trouble at hand in the...

They'll wait until no one predicts it for at least 45 seconds. Then they will announce 4e and everyone will think someone really just said the sky is falling. We'll all be caught off guard when it actually does show up on the store shelf. No one will have actually seen it coming.

On the complete other end of my look at this from the marching band stand point; trombones also have a reputation of having a very mellow sound. I have played multiple piees of music where the trombone part had harp cues - the music had built in a replacement part if the band/orchestra didn't...

Flashy and dramatic. I know that doesn't narrow down a bard much, but look at large marching bands and their trombone sections. Since Trombones are brass instruments they reflect light very, very well. All brass instruments are (usually) moving back and forth in an effort to catch the light...

The vast majority of the time - yes, we use it as written.

As a trombone player I can attest to to how fragile the slide can be. On the other hand, if it does get shredded by a big bad the metal pieces that are left are very, very sharp - and hollow. That dire tiger will have to deal a very angry bard duel-wielding sharp metal tubes. The extra...

I am so glad to see this overhaul of the starship combat. When our group did a Star Wars campaign with the RCR rules the starship battles felt clunky.

Our group is in the middle of an epic campaign right now.

I always plan ahead. Usually to the next PrC or feat that has prereqs. Sometime farther out. My characters don't always get where I plan them to go. Sometimes they don't get where I had planned them to either. This may be because of something as mundane as a new book coming out or the...

I'm a player but my DM (who doesn't post here) is a DIY DM; so I voted 'yes' for him.

Our group has hit [Booming Voice] EPIC!!! [/Booming Voice] for the first time just a few months ago. No one has taken Epic Spellcasting because we just don't want to deal with the system. Why spend massive amount so gp and xp for spells that can mostly be duplicated with high level regular...

My DM likes having a cohort in the party as it gives him a voice into the PC's conversations. If we are all standing around having apparently overlooked something obvious (or at least something the DM thought was obvious) the cohort/DM can pipe up and slap the rest of us on the back of the head...

It's not just DMs and it goes both ways. There are cheating players out there (I've played with some of them) and there are cheating DMs out there (I've been lucky so far in this aspect). My DM is my best friend but he's not infallable when it comes to rules. Sometimes spells get confused...

I'm having trouble deciding what line was better: HEY! No kill-stealing! or We've been standing next to you for like four hours.

My group uses them all the time. It's rare that when characters get high enough in levels that a PC does NOT have a PrC. I can't possibly remember them all but here are the PrCs that I remember have shown up (in PCs) at our table: Human Paragon Chameleon Heartwarder Legendary Leader Green...

I wouldn't really mind it. And if they did that there may actually be enough of a size difference to warrant a zip compressin (especially for people on dial-up). This would allow people to flip back and forth between pages without having to reload them again and again.

In no particular order... 1. Spell Compendium 2. Magic Item Compendium 3. Player's Handbook II 4. Dungeon Master's Guide II Then it gets a litte fuzzy. Depends on what the campaign style is and what I'm in the mood for. So the Honorable Mentions that follow have given me a lot of fun...

This is how I feel. There is no reason to zip and gives me an extra step to do. There are times when zipping a file doesn't even save that much space.

Feel free to send the redheads my way. This is coming from someone with no drawing ability at all so first I want to say congradulations to the artist for getting his work into a D&D product. My own personal ability can't even come close. I really like the coloring. I like how the hair has a...
