    Savage Species feat - Fling Enemy

    The same according the SRD. Question: Can even the huge giants take this feat? I didn't think 'Improved Grapple' was a feat that creatures could normally take and that it really fell into the 'special' abilities category. Then again I don't have my books with me so I can't look this up...

    Rapid Shot analysis by Sean Reynolds

    It seems that you can't compare rapid shot to weapon focus. They are two different feats and the old saw has always been that all feats are not created equal. A fairer comparison would be to compare two-weapon fighting/ambidexteriy to point blank/rapid shot comparison. Even then there is...

    PCGen sellout

    There is nothing preventing you from creating your own data sets. The real limitation is the amount of time that it costs. I've created a number of 'lst' files for my own use out of a number of the MMII creatures and a large number of Green Ronin products. Now, I did pay for the books. I...

    PCGen sellout

    All of PCGen is still open source. You don't like the direction it is going, grab a copy of the source and run with it. Ysgarran.

    Slightly OT: Yea Gods I'm too powerful for my level!!

    If it was me that gave out such a powerfull item, I'd have something really cruel and sneaky in mind...like everytime you used the item you help concentrate the essence of Mesos the Titan into the ring. Eventually the ring would gain a certain level of sentience, become an artifact, and start...

    Official Announcement (e-Tools and PCGen)

    Re: hmmmmm Interesting catch about the fork... Although I doubt that e-tools would be ported to Linux but the agreement might have to do with how the data in e-tools is used. For example (my WAG), a tool might be available so that e-tool data could be exported into PCGen 'lst' files...

    Does LARP freak anyone else out?

    I only played in a LARP one time. I had an absolute blast, it was the most fun I've ever had at a convention. Having said that I doubt that the experience could be repeated very often. Most LARP stuff doesn't interest me in the least but the setting of this particular LARP really caught my...

    Pricey Book Question

    As always it is a question of what you want for your own campaign and what your preferences are. For me, it is the best d20 purchase I've made. later, Ysgarran.

    Going away for a few days

    Did you take the server with you? :) I've not been able to get to ENWorld for the past day or so. Ysgarran.

    How on Earth do you have a tightly controlled D&D world with normal magic (Long)

    Spells like this would have a tendency to increase the wealth but I think that some of the reasons you list earlier (Sorcerers raining fire on cities) would have the opposite effect. You have some incredibly destructive spells with their use being seen often enough to balance the positive...

    Official Announcement (e-Tools and PCGen)

    Re: Re: Re: Official Announcement (e-Tools and PCGen) So, what are you saying? That you will look at PCGen? If so, then that is just one step on the path... Ysgarran. p.s. As an early code contributer to PCGen (pre 2.6 versions) I remember the old discussions on both the ENWorld lists and...

    Official Announcement (e-Tools and PCGen)

    It strikes me that you need to add -PCGen's #1 Evil Marketing Assistant or -PCGen's #1 "I've got a secret and and I can't tell you" or -PCGen's Greatest Evangelist who converted Orcus edit: or in deference to Hellbound -PCGen's official mollifier of HellHounds ;) later, Ysgarran.

    Who publishes 'Path of the Warrior'? I found 'Path of the Sword' by FFG, if that is the one you mean. Ysgarran.

    [Poll] Character Age/Lifespan

    This poll needs to be re-done. Some people are voting 'yes' because while they would use the aging rules the issue never comes up because of the short duration of the campaigns in game time. Some people are voting 'no' because while they would use the aging rules the issue never comes up...

    Spectral Hand and DMs decision.

    I was really annoyed with a DMs decision last night and thought I would check if I'm off base here or not. A 12th cleric/3 Wizard had a Spectral Hand spell going. The enemy cleric/wizard moved that hand past all of the characters in the party. The DM ruled that only those characters who...

    Cartoon History of the Universe vols 1-3

    Anyone else familiar with these books? I've read the first two and just learned that the third volume was published late last year. I really enjoyed the first two and thought they were great for leading to other jumping off points for reading about history. later, Ysgarran. Edit: The Cartoon...

    So which monstrous character are you gonna play?

    Pixies have always been popular in my campaign and I suspect that they will be when one of my players gets a hold of SS. Ysgarran.

    Half-Elf fix In 3.5

    True enough, but I get the feeling that things are bit late in the process to really effect the final outcome of 3.5. Ysgarran.

    Half-Elf fix In 3.5

    You need to know the history, I think the context is that we are playing with what the best fix for half-elves in 3.5 would be. Now it is a bit of a conceit on our part to think that this will have any effect at all on the final 3.5 product but I would prefer that people allow us our...
