    Wow, UK. Serious kudos on the cover; the action is great and the execution of the idea is (respectfully) much better than the Bestiary cover. How much longer on the update" Are you still aiming for the end of November?

    Simple: preheat a barrel-fire to ~1,800 degree F; slather XPH and 3.0 Psionics Handbook (plus any other desired psionic texts) with kerosene; insert into barrel; bring to a high roaring flame; rub hands together; enjoy the free space on the shelf and the removal of the dumbest thing D&D has ever...

    Yet more proof that psionics suck. :p

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    UK makes a good point: at least 4E promises not to be rehashed sacred cow meat. Good or bad, at least it'll be new.

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    For all the reasons that UK thinks dante is wrong, I agree, and not just because I always think dante is wrong but because all of what UK has said is my feelings about 3rd in a nutshell. The answer to people whining about the simplification of 4E should remember this: "A designer knows he has...

    FDR killed America, but that's not a discussion for the here and now. On topic, UK: has your 20 day break begun yet, or is that next week? Can we actually hope to expect some progress on the text, or should we just pack it in and wait for 4th Ed?

    Who's committing verbal assault? I should lodge a formal complaint; I'm sure attitude like this has no place here, let alone for no reason. Were you upset that I used a word like "fallacious", with has no pejorative connotation... or was it that you had to look up another word in those...

    hmm... still... no direct evidence to support multiclassing in integrated levels. Then there's UK's opinion on the matter, which if I remember correctly was that you can't multiclass integrated levels. What's that smell? Oh. It's dante.

    NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

    I'm pretty sure UK said something about multiclassing and integrated class levels in the threads. IIRC, the statement amounted to "no multiclassing" -- a sentiment with which I agree, as it is unheard of for outsiders to behave as multiclass characters. Thus, despite dante's fallacious...

    Last time I checked, you can't "multiclass" with integrated class levels.

    One of the benefits of the method I detailed earlier is that you can determine a very precise "item ECL" for each item. Let's take a demigod, again. ECL 60. Max Item Bonus +20. (ECL/3) Average Item Value 6mgp Gross Gold Piece Limit 24mgp Free Item Value 237.6kgp If we assume wealth is 1/3 the...

    Here's an idea: Instead of determining wealth/item guidelines strictly from a "you get 4" scenario, what if you say "you get an amount of 'virtual gold' equal to four items proportionate to your ECL"? So, an ECL 100 entity would have four-times the gold necessary to make a +33 weapon/armor...

    But it's largely the same idea, mercucio. Invest 10, get 1; it's just sometimes there's a third step: invest 10, net 1, use 1/10.

    there's a 10:1:0.1 ratio of exchange in IHB. if you put 1000 QP into an object, it only "holds" 100, and anyone using the item for QP would only benefit from 10. Likewise, if you want to 'make' a quasi-deity out of your cohort, he'd need 10,000 QP (net gain), which means he'd need a net...

    As 'wrong' as it could ever be to use a monster that hasn't been revised and that doesn't (IMXP) see a lot of table time. Well, (and my bad on this, all ye Pak-haters; I noticed this going over what notes I have on the matter), Melee Weapon Mastery and Weapon Supremacy were involved - feats...
