    GSL vs. no GSL Forked From: Where are all of the campaign settings?

    Yet at least for now, the official stance is that: Of course the last provision applies to a large part of any RPG's content. I think this aspect of copyright law is why WotC was ever willing to go along with the OGL in the first place. Make it really, really easy for companies to do almost...

    2nd level mage armor

    It had a material component (a small platinum shield worth 50?gp) in Complete Arcane. It makes sense that they removed it. It's not the price of Bracers +6 that matter, but the price of Bracers +7. :)

    Warlock/Rogue

    However, the designer of the class has stated that it would be very reasonable to have it up blast damage as if up to 4 levels higher. It's in one of the initial Q/A threads about the warlock on wizards forums.

    2nd level mage armor

    Just like to point out that this thread is a necro from 2002. Since then, the "official" version of improved mage armor is a 3rd level spell which gives a +6 bonus. It has a 50gp material component, too... I've never seen a wizard or sorc use that spell, so I guess it's probably...

    Ranged Sneak Attack

    Those articles have this to say about ranged flanking: Now because of how everything is phrased, I suppose you could weild a dagger and 1-H crossbow, be flanking due to the dagger, and thus get sneak-attack with the crossbow. That seems against the intent of the rules, but probably not overly...

    DM - Is this puzzle/trap too tough?

    If it's clearly some sort of non-sentient construct, it's not so much an issue.

    DM - Is this puzzle/trap too tough?

    If this were my group, we'd probably spend most of our time trying to save the guy. I mean, that seems the obvious solution to the puzzle, right? Even if we knew that the item we needed was in his heart, we'd spend at least an hour arguing about whether it was ethical to retrieve it, given...

    limits on leadership?

    Wait, do some PCs actually try to take their followers on adventures? I always got the impression that the followers were supposed to represent the "in-town" part of leadership, giving you people to run errands and wield political power with, etc...

    Injury & Death Variant

    I think you meant to start off Fine creatures with 10 MDT instead of Tiny creatures, then.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Gearing up for an Undead Assult

    The cleric has access to spells which give weapons the undead bane and disrupting qualities. That makes those particular enhancements less needed on your base weapon. In addition to death ward, Spell Compendium has protection from negative energy, which might prove useful against necromancers.

    Monk variant, balanced off warlock

    Hey, sorry for the late reply. If you want to translate it, go for it! Just please keep it under the OGL. :)

    Dumb Question About OGL Monsters

    Um, what?

    EN2 very much slower

    Sure, people are aware the site is slow... but do they know that enworld would welcome knowledgeable volunteers? @Sammael: Hide that block of death in a spoiler tag! :)

    Shadowfell Gloves and longer-lasting damage spells

    Ah, I forgot the rules were written in Lojban.

    EN2 very much slower

    Maybe this should be prominently advertised? This is something I was completely unaware of. I'm guessing very few people read the Meta forum and are even aware that the site could use some help. Put up a notice on the front page, and you'll probably get some volunteers who are competent in...

    Is Stealth the new Grapple?

    No. I don't give a damn about the rule technicalities, and still find them confusing. The RAW just don't make it very clear what the RAI are. I've played a rogue in 4e, and it wasn't at all obvious to me how I was supposed to use stealth. As pointed out earlier, all of this could be resolved...

    Dragonsborn Breath Weapon Issue

    Do you think this explanation would satisfy a player? I'd say allow it if you want, but make sure it's not an especially effective combat weapon. And maybe limit acid production to 1 or 2 jars/day. It sounds like the player just wants a cool use of his breath weapon; as long as it doesn't...

    Poison Pill v. Restraint of Trade

    Not necessarily... if I release my original work under the OGL, and you use it, the only part WotC plays is in holding the copyright on the text of the OGL license itself.

    Why are skill challenges "broken"?

    This is the key point of Kraydak's post: it doesn't matter how you set the DCs, the system is fundamentally broken. Way to ignore what is by far the most insightful post on this topic I've read to date. It's fair to say that you don't understand it, and ask for a "layman's explanation", but to...
