I'm actually sick and tired of how D&D actually rewards diplomatic solutions to encounters over sheer brutality. I mean, imagine our intrepid party armed to the teeth wanders down the hall and encounters 6 hobgoblins. In the good old days, that would be a few rounds of combat, 210xp, and 6...

Sages have a frightening amount of work to do. That's impressive. Werner

It'll keep the PCs guessing. :D I'd love to see the looks on their faces when they load up on Chaotic or Devil-bane weapons. :eek:

I don't typically like to contradict sages, but... here goes. Look closely at City of the Dead and you'll notice that all the undead created are mindless and uncontrolled, which doesn't work so well for creating an army. Also, the XP expenditure is sizeable, I think 3K per spellcaster (and...

I didn't do these, so I don't have an incredible bias on this. I'm also not familiar with OA, so I don't know the abilities in that book and don't know how some of the Technique feats might interact with those abilities. I don't think Alyeeth Kassuk is out of balance in the fact that they are...

All the Players Guides are 3.5 Compatible except, of couse, where they aren't ;) What I mean by this, is that in theory they are all 3.5 compatible. The earliest ones aren't entire because of several reasons. Because Fighters & Barbarians and Wizards, Bards & Sorcerers were designed...

Eryndel = Werner Hager It'll be cool to see the final product.

Now that's a cute typo. :p And for a shameless self plug, I included several options for reducing ASF in the Player's Guide to Fighters and Barbarians for Sword and Sorcery. The simplest is some magical enhancements to reduce ASF in armor (-5/-10/-20 at +1/+3/+5 IIRC) and an exotic material...

Version specific reply to follow: For 3.5 I'd just scrap it as an individual weapon and say a fullblade is a Bastard Sword made for large creatures with all the inherent effects that come with that. In effect, I would say that a medium sized creature couldn't use the Large Bastard Sword unless...

IMO, it's about the only redeeming feature of the A&EG.

I'm not sure if I get punished for naming non-SL products on the "Ask the Sage" Thread but a decent resource for trade (and evaluating earnings from trade) is from WOTC's Arms and Equipment Guide re: Trade Goods. My priest of Chardun/death-touched from Termana did a brisk business in trade as...

Just wante to post what I have so far. I still need to stat out Kallandrys. There is some backstory involved here, I couldn't help it. :D If it doesn't work with what you have planned, it should be easy enough to change it. I'll edit this post as needed. ----------------------------------...

Some of the most interesting sea voyages I've had in a game have been where the nature was out to get the ship. Historically the big allure and fear of sea travel was the capriciousness of the weather. I was in a game about six months ago that had a one session long voyage from Delis to Rahoch...

Here's a link to one review on this site: http://www.enworld.org/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=Simon+Collins&product=DDTFAB

I've heard some decent things about it and I've thought about purchasing it for introducing kids to roleplaying. It's strictly a European thing, I don't know if there are any plans of releasing in the States, so you'll have to order it overseas (and is about the only thing keeping me from...

Something I had thought of using for a low magic campaign was the Treat Injury skill from d20 Modern. I don't have the book in front of me but it allows you to heal a few hp with a successful skill check (more with the Surgery feat, but Surgery isn't really thematically appropriate to a...

Let me take 22 and 23. I'd like to make 23 a temple devoted to dark powers. Specifically, Blasphemy likes to maintain a cult of worthless primes to deal with the small stuff. Maybe this is why the guest room is on this side on the complex, so any visitors can see the pure obeisance that is...

And I have a "flair for clear-eyed analysis and explanations." Who knew? :rolleyes: Werner

Well, I don't know... depends if Kenzer is looking for a freelancer ;) Werner

I'm impressed this thread got to 8 pages without it devolving into a flamewar considering the topic. For those of you who consider this a bash-Kalamar thread I'd like to say that I think this thread has sold me into at least taking a look at the setting. It sounds like it has a lot of the...
