I'll admit to the gift of understating the obvious also ;)

No, I don't think anyone is complaining about shameless exploitation, my complaint is shameless exploitation done incredibly badly. When I saw the picture of the 'Ken'-'Aragorn' doll I didn't see or think Aragorn. What I immediately saw was the French version of a neutered King Arthur. The...

I'll admit to a bit of min/maxing here: I'm going to take another level of wizard, put four ranks into Knowledge(Religion) which will give me 8 total ranks and at tenth level take a level of Templar. Now, the campaign we run in is on the dangerous side so my character may not make it that...

There are other scams with regards to e-bay that attempt to steal your password. Never open an .exe or anything with 'active' content for that matter. Even when something appears to be coming from a friend, it is a good chance that it is actually a virus instead of something your friend is...

Well, one of my favorite methods for evil aligned nations came for 'Perilous Lands' (OK, don't mention the game system...) from Avalon Hill. The King had as many children as possible during his reign. When he finally died all the children were locked up in a maze of caverns, first one out...

Yes, knew that one. It is one of the reasons I was thinking 'Quick draw' might be nice.

If I had unarmed Strike...never enough feats. later, Ysgarran.

Improved Trip allows you to make a trip attack while unarmed and not draw an attack of opportunity. Would this feat allow you to threaten the squares around you while unarmed? For example, if an archer had the improved trip feat and someone tried to move past him, would that archer get to try...

At ninth level I'm looking at 55 hit points which seems pretty low to me, especially after I took a couple of hits (total of 40 hit points of damage) from a Hill Giant the other day. I like the idea of getting mobility at 12th which will help get me the heck out melee range when needed...

OK, I'm undecided as to what direction I should take this 3.5 character. He just gained ninth level, 3 Ranger, 2 Fighter, 1 Abjurer, 1 Arcane Archer, 1 Deepwood Sniper with the following stats: str 14 dex 18 con 12 int 14 wis 12 char 8 Current Feats: Alertness(Familiar), Combat Expertise...

It definately gave me some ideas regarding some battles that are going to be happening in my campaign. With such large bumps in combat ability who wouldn't want to have a bard like that around? I'm pretty sure we would have had some fatalities if we didn't have that Bard around.

This might be old news for some people but I just didn't realize just how much a bard could pump up combat abilities. We knew a fight was coming up so the 10th level Bard started with 'Inspire Courage', a +2 morale bonus to hit. When the fight started he dropped the 'Inspire Courage' and...

There is a chapter/section on 'good' poisons in the BoED. Basically what is says is that if the poison doesn't cause pain or discomfort then it is OK to use. The section then goes on to provide a number of poisons that good aligned creatures could use. By that definition using a 'touch'...

I would say your view is what makes most D&D campaigns rather bland when it comes to the question of good versus evil. The PCs run around killing evil, thwart the bad guys and collect the treasure without any kind of self-sacrifice and call it 'good'. The situation you provide is a case in...

Fields of Blood: The Book of War by Eden Studios It has been continually delayed but should finally be out by the end of the year. Ysgarran.

Granted, the situation described is a manufactured one but don't get hung up on the particulars. Generalize a bit about the situation and ask under what situation(s) would a Paladin grant the possibility for redemption.

Just made my donation an hour or so ago. Ysgarran.

Brian Forester Ysgarran - Hobgoblin of Consistency Order #: 48415

Yah, I thought that might be the case but I wasn't 100% sure. Kind of tough for the wizard to cast Nature's ally though. I haven't finished writing the encounter up, maybe I can add a druid. Do you think adding one level to the Animal Growth (bump it to level 6) spell is a fair trade off so...

Just checking that this is completely legal before throwing it my players in my campaign. Is there any reason I can't toss a Animal Growth spell on the 'Fiendish Dire Tiger' that has been summoned? thanks, Ysgarran.
