    They charge over $20 to ship to Canada, which kills the cost-effectiveness for me; unless I was to buy large volumes of minis -- something like 10 expansion packs. Which I guess isn't many for collectors, but it is for me. My one experience with GO wasn't good, but this was 1-2 years ago when...

    Is any one alignment intellectually superior?

    If you calculated the average intelligence scores of all the creatures in the MM's, sorted by alignment, I'd bet a doughnut that LE would have the highest average intelligence, and, despite popular opinion, N the lowest (all those animals and magical beasts). So I voted for LE -- the most...

    Charles Ryan speaks - Fantastic Locations

    I'm glad to hear WotC is considering more adventures...I can't get enough of those. Hopefully there will be a longer Eberron adventure path in the near future.

    Calculating CR's of NPC's mounted on monsters

    Keeping in mind that estimating EL's is far from an exact science (despite what all the online EL calculators and formulae would have you believe), I would eyeball this encounter at about EL 10.5, technically a 10 bordering on an 11. The exact value of the EL has no effect on XP -- that gets...

    Need help calculating Encounter Level - My players keep out!

    For an EL 10 encounter (which will likely result in the death of one or more characters even if they are quite careful), drop the cleric down to level 7, subtract 1 level from all the gnolls (making the Rgr1's into War1's), and drop one of the hounds. That gives you roughly an EL 10, though it...

    Spiritual Weapon

    From the SRD: "A spiritual weapon cannot be attacked or harmed by physical attacks..." so there isn't really a need to assign a square to the SW (unless you just want to put a token down to remind yourself that it's there) or worry about it drawing an AOO from entering someone's square or...

    Need help calculating Encounter Level - My players keep out!

    I calculate EL by grouping together monsters of the same CR into little "squads," each with their own EL. Then I add the squad ELs together like CRs to find the total EL. So, for example, if you were to throw all the creatures present in the camp at the PCs all at once, it would go something...

    Wild surge with psi-like abilities

    Well, applying the feats did sound a bit too good to be true, but I'm interested in what people think about the use of wild surge. Thanks, Hyp!

    Wild surge with psi-like abilities

    Anyone? Bueler? Is this really obvious? Has it been discussed before (I couldn't find anything...)? Any thoughts/comments are welcome.

    Hmm, this seems a bit off topic, but... 1. Try clicking on the pull-down menu called "display modes" then click on "switch to linear mode." 2. Look in the forum you posted it in...? 3. I believe so. 4. Nice to meet you, too.

    Wild surge with psi-like abilities

    A question for the psionic buffs out there: can the wilder's wild surge ability be used to augment a psi-like ability? (For example, can a maenad wilder augment her 1/day Energy Ray ability). Pg. 31 of the EPH states, "A wilder can choose to invoke a wild surge whenever she manifests a...

    The concept of an evil tree just kind of bewilders me...come to think of it, I'm not a big fan of plant monsters in general -- from assassin vines to Treebeard the Ent. That said, I'll read Root of Evil and The Amarantha Agenda with an open mind. Who knows, maybe they'll convert me into a...

    Seeking d20 Game In Kingston And Surrounding Environs

    Hey Kaodi, Just found your post today...I've been reading these boards for some years but just recently de-lurked. I just moved to Kingston in September and am looking for some D&D action myself, particularly of the Eberron variety. What's your gaming experience like? Have you ever DMed...

    Thanks! Maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit, especially with the Good Friday holiday interruption . . . but I'm really looking forward to the next few issues of Dungeon! :D
