    D&D 3.x For 3.5, which race needs tweaking.

    Is there any information on this anywhere? The biggest licensing problem that I remember was the first printing of Deites and Demigods (i.e. the one with the Cthulhu and Melnibonean myths).

    D&D 3.x For 3.5, which race needs tweaking.

    Re: All of them +1 to thrown weapons seems to be one of those leftovers from LotR. Hobbits are described as having a good throwing arm. I can't remember the characters but there is a scene from the book where one of the hobbits beans someone in the nose with an apple core.

    D&D 3.x For 3.5, which race needs tweaking.

    Just curious. The half-thread got me wondering if everyone agrees on this. Which basic race in MOST need of an adjustment for 3.5? edit: I suppose I could have made the poll a bit more broad and added an option for which direction to tweak in. I'm guessing (and I could be wrong) that those...

    [OT] Post them WWII propaganda posters here!

    I saw a number of both japanese and american propaganda posters when I visited the D-Day museum in New Orleans. I couldn't find any copies of these in my quick search online but here is a link with a few black and white propaganda images: http://www.msu.edu/~navarro6/srop.html later, Ysgarran.

    Bad sign for 3.5E

    Yup, It is in the nature of the beast that there will be some number of errors in the final product. The real question is if you will end up with the number of errors that you had in the "Sword and Fist" supplement or if you will have something with a fewer number of errors. I'm mildly...

    Stop me from obliterating him!

    All I can think of is the quote that Airwolf currently has on his signature line: "Sundance is weird. The movies are weird - you actually have to think about them when you watch them." - Britney Spears Ysgarran. p.s. That quote also showed in the latest time magazine.

    best archer build

    Re: Tournament Legal Build Definately a problem for most campaigns. RPGA Living Greyhawk does not make you pay for breaking the spirit of the rules. You start off as non-lawfull (Barbarian), switch to a Lawfull alignment and then switch to Chaotic Good (requirement for Holy Liberator).

    Quicker than the Eye feat - broken?

    OK, it looks like I had a basic misunderstanding of a MEA. Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought that the whole point of a move equivalent action was that you could move while taking the named action. For example, if you draw your weapon (which is a MEA) you can still move 30' and attack...

    Quicker than the Eye feat - broken?

    I guess I'm missing something in the rules. According to the post the rogue can make a "Bluff check vs. the opponent's spot check as a Move-Equivalent action". The move-equivalent action means he can move 30', make that bluff vs. spot check and still get the sneak attack in. I don't think...

    Longest campaign you've run/played in?

    We have a campaign that was started in 1987. We don't play in that campaign very often but every once in a while we will get together to play those characters in a high level campaign. In fact, we just converted those characters to third edition and will be playing an epic level adventure on...

    [OT] Baby Troubles

    You have my heartfelt sympathy Mistwell. I really hope things work out for you. It brings back intense memories of my own son and the emergency caesarean section that my wife had. Not the same thing but the worry and concern about loved ones was there. I have some contacts in Ann Arbor in...

    D&D 3.5 Scoops from Savage Species

    The minotaur example (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20030202ex) has extra feats at 1st, 4th and 8th levels. Not 1,3 and 6. Edit: Bah, I see now. The feats are based on HD, not level... Ysgarran.

    Savage Species preview.

    heh, Maybe you are correct. I'll be curious how close I came to what shows up in 'Savage Species' book when it comes out. OTH, look to at my reply to jasamcarl. Getting the balance right on the first try is not an issue for me. Ysgarran.

    Savage Species preview.

    Kind of depends on your audience and your own skills, doesn't it? The PC in my game include two ex-Nasa engineers, one fellow who specializes in 'target recognition software', an actuary and one fellow who owns his own automotive parts store. The mechanics are the least of my problems as DM...

    Savage Species preview.

    I could see myself buying the product for other aspects, such as templates, PrCs and feats. If the feats and Prcs are provide a very good role playing aspect to them, that will be a big positive.

    Savage Species preview.

    It really comes down to a time versus value calculation. I read something like "The Book of Righteousness" and say to myself I could never come up with something of that high quality without a huge outlay of time and effort. It just takes to much work for me to write that well. I look at...

    Savage Species preview.

    I see it as a possible time saver for DMs but that is about it. This paying someone else to go through the drudgery of doing something that really is not at all difficult. The leveled special abilities are a logical progression of increasing abilities from weak to strong. The Gore Attack is...

    Savage Species preview.

    So far, I don't see what the attraction is for this book. The basic form of monster advancement was already in the monster manual and the SRD. Most of what is presented in the preview follows the current rules. From the SRD: Monsterous Humand: Hit Die: d8 Attack Bonus: Total HD (as...

    [OT] Naming a child Arwen

    I like it. I think you should go with "Arwen". Very pretty and definately has Celtic flavor to it. My daughter's name is Celeste and we sometimes get comments about elephants.

    Space Shuttle Columbia lost?

    Agreed. Other auctions keep popping up. I don't have an account on e-bay but people should provide the strongest possible negative feedback on anyone trying to sell the debris. Ysgarran.
