You're right, Nightfall, if you make it clear that they will lose and the party still fights on, I wouldn't pull any punches. Not to have this devolve into yet another thread of "To TPK or not to TPK", but I tend to avoid TPK's for simply selfish reason. Killing my party tends to screw up my...

Oooh, lots of fun stuff to play with. Some random ideas... IMO Mormo among all of the titans was most prolific in converting creatures to her cause. While titans such as Thulkas, Hrinruuk, and Golthagga actively created creatures, either accidentally or intentionally, Mormo tempted a lot of...

Cat's Claw -- Alas, I am but a humble freelancer, so I have to make due with what is on the website. Likely there's a file out there but I don't think it's been distributed in any other form aside from the PDF. Maybe send an email to Conrad who handles downloads and web extras. I think his...

I always used to pronounce it ah-SAH-thee. Then I wrote some stuff about asaatthi language in the asaatthi book like double vowel constructions denoting emphasis and being pronounced long, the double tth construction being a "hard" th sound. After submitting (and receiving the book) I'd...

So, I'm really hoping you missed the word "for" in there, cause I'm really not comfortable with you feeling me... :eek:

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's a good pic. However, it doesn't match the description I gave in the monster description. Oh well, it's not the first time he didn't follow my art notes.

Wow, thank you and thank you. Except I am a little disappointed in T. Truman messing up the picture of the Fierien :mad:

Sorry Nightfall, but I don't get your logic. The Githzerai live in Limbo, so I'm not sure how that makes them lawful. The Githyanki live in the Astral and IIRC they are CE. But, you're going to make me go up and get my book. ... Githzerai are any neutral and Githyanki are usually evil...

Not particularly Scarred Lands but the githzerai have monks and they are CN IIRC. I'm not sure if they break the rules because of there nature or there monks aren't really chaotic though the race is. Maybe that's what you're thinking of? Werner

I'm not sure, but I sure hope they do... I've sent a little note to Andrew and Joe checking up on this.

As a general rule, I wouldn't allow a lich to have a living phylactery. However, breaking the rules is where the interesting storytelling comes in. Imagine this: A lich decides to research the process of creating a living phylactery. He comes upon hints or legends of the procedure which...

I'm not sure if I see how distributing the OGC part of UA is harmful at least to what I perceive the plan was for UA. I figured UA was released mostly OGC in an attempt to distribute much of these house rules into the systems and settings of other peoples games, primarily other publisher's...

:lol: What a difference, the most use my miniatures get is when my three year old pulls them out to tromp about my Dwarven Forge stuff. He particularly loves the "Daddy Dragon" (Red) and all his baby dragons (crested felldrakes). Sometimes they even like to have tea with the Displacer beast...

Just wanted to weigh in, being someone who's worked with S&SS in the past though not on this book. I don't really criticize their decision to release this now at all. I think a fair comparison to the Player's Guides can be made here. Surely this book was developed (author's submissions in)...

I've got mine in this little compartmentalized box I picked up at the local store. It's similar to a tackle box but I think was geared more to holding fuse and screws and little hardware bits. It's about the size of a notebook and has maybe 80 compartments in it. So far we're only now...

Seems as if someone's trying to boost their post count. 'specially since he's posted to the last 20 threads. :uhoh:

For me, I generally do use Diplomacy rolls if a player can't act their Charisma score. This can happen if the player is sort of socially inept and is playing a high Charisma character but more often happens when I deal with people using Charisma as a dump stat. In this case, I have them say...

I disagree. If you shapechange into a pit fiend, you have the pit fiend's AC, DR, SR, immunities and resistances, and regeneration. Your attack bonus goes down by 9 (and you lose two attacks). Still, you have something like +21 to attack which isn't too shabby for a wizard. If you wish you...

Hi Djeta, welcome back to the boards. Just to skew your statistics some, women have been a significant part of the groups I've been in since about '88. There was a while in the mid 90s where I was the only guy in the group (we had me, my fiance, and 3 of our friends.) My wife has gamed since...

I'd change the CR's at the low end to base creature +1 because of the ability adjustments (and the burn ability and immunities) Sure the old version had those but I feel that adding ability bonuses tip it over to CR+1 IMO. I'm also not sure I like the flaming/flaming strike ability that...
