    A class using inverted stats!

    Looks like it made it into Deities and Demigods, and from there, into the SRD.

    EN World GameStore - To answer some publisher questions...

    Because of comments from you guys at rpgnow that the "big vendors" wanted the site split so they didn't have to share screen space with the small vendors. Because of comments from Twin Rose that implied that the big vendors recruited for the ENGS wanted the $99 sign-up fee to keep out the riffraff.

    ENWGS FAQ - "Will it generate new customers?"

    It seems like it's related to load. Right now, at 11:00 eastern time, both sites are responding about the same for me. Sometimes during the day when the server is really busy, the enworld site as a whole loads slower, forums, front page, store and all.

    New Release - After Sunset: Werewolves

    A loophole is something allowed by the letter of the rules but against the intent of them. Morrus specifically said that his new rules only applied to publishers, not to users, because he didn't want to restrict commentary and discussion, this being a friendly news and community site and all...

    Charles Ryan speaks - 4.6 million Americans claim to play D&D

    Don't be dumb. Surveys and survey statistics are a well understood branch of math. You take a random sample of a large enough size, you get a reasonably accurate result and a margin of error measure. So they're not reporting the margin of error. Who cares.

    Help me understand M&M2ed 'Dynamic Alternate Power' rule...

    Yes. Also remember that it's a 1 point cost to make the base power dynamic, too (2 points for each alternate power, 1 to make them alternate and 1 to make them dynamic).

    Failing to meet prestige class requirements

    It would probably look a lot like the blink spell, only with shapeshifting and a lot more screaming and pain and stuff.

    Can the FAQ be used to issue errata (create new rules)?

    Why do you care? What's the difference to your game if a rule is an official rule, a kinda-official rule, or something the DM made up and wrote down on the back of a postcard? This is like that guy that came on the board a while ago and announced that he read that everything in Dragon was, in...

    A class using inverted stats!

    Problem with using the negative ability modifier is that the character is rather limited in his high end spell progression- he can't get higher than the 18-19 level on his modifier to save DCs (+5 at wisdom 1) and bonus spells, since at wisdom 0 he's unplayable. So his save DCs will never be...

    ENWGS FAQ - "Will it generate new customers?"

    I just did, and it says "&SRC=FrontPage", which I assume is rpgnow's tag implying itself. What browser are you using? Maybe it has wonky settings or something. Edit: Ah, nope, the cookie thing.

    Got M&M 2nd Ed, got a few questions to go with it...

    If you look in there, there's a whole forum devoted to people asking questions of him. You can find most any rules-related question answered there, and he also reveals somewhat of the design decisions that went into the second edition. I found it interesting browsing.

    Need clarification on "No Retailer Links" rule

    So why make them change sigs, and disallow reference to rpg sales sites even by name? It's comprehensible that you, at this point, consider rpgnow and drivethru competitors to your rpg shop and whatever else you're announcing this week. The message boards are not competing with rpgnow or...

    Need clarification on "No Retailer Links" rule

    This statement: (In reponse to, 'you're only allowing people advertise if they sell at your store') and this: (In response to, 'can I advertise if I sell at amazon?') are directly contradictory statements from you. Perhaps you objected to my use of "advertise"? Fine, I'll rephase: You...

    Need clarification on "No Retailer Links" rule

    This seems abusive. Enworld got to be a popular source of news, so many publishers send their press releases here, helping the site gain popularity. Now you're saying, "feel free to advertise here, but only if you sell at my store". Linking is how the web works, and is what makes it...

    Armor as Defense and DR

    I believe it takes armor of old value X to AC and gives it new values of X/2, round up, to AC and X/2, round down, to DR. So a chain shirt (+4 armor) becomes +2 armor, +2 DR. It would then be relatively easy to turn each static DR value into a die. DR 1 -> DR 1 or 1d2 (DM's preference) DR 2...

    Mutants and Masterminds 2E - I Have It

    Power level relates to the maximum level they can have stats, skills, combat traits, and powers at. In this sense, it works like level in D&D, where max skill ranks = level +3 for class skills. In MnM, skills max at PL +5, BAB and BDB at PL. Ability score bonuses max at PL +5, except for...

    Mutants and Masterminds 2E - I Have It

    At 1st level, no. However, in MnM, power level 1 is suitable only for minions and extras, the guys that a building falls on when the villain knocks it down to show how evil he is. Standard starting power level for MnM is PL 10, at which point, yes, you can be bulletproof, punch through a brick...
