    Beholders and Blindess

    Blind he is, but you can argue that the AMF negates the Blindness for his central eye. Sure they work, I was referring to the suspended Blindness of the central eye in the AMF. But if the Beholder uses his central eyes eyesight to direct the blind eystalks, he can only "see" in the direction...

    Beholders and Blindess

    Hmm, Blindness is a permanent effect, so it is nullified when in an antimagic effect. The abilities of the exes will not be effected by blindness so the AMF should work. The Beholder can even use the other eyestalks with the central eye. BUT He has to shoot the rays in the direction his...

    Beholders and Blindess

    So my Players will fight against a Beholder. The Cleric had the idea to use Blindness/Deafness against the Beholder. Will this work? I think, if the misses his save he is blind, but his rays and the central eye still works. He has the normal 50% miss chance and so on. Or does this not work?

    GC 2006 - Ptolus Hardback $120!?!

    Today I had a look at the Ptolus Homepage and had to buy it. For me in Germany its 120$ + 40$ shipping, thats about 130Euros. But If you look into the contend (setting, adventure, DM guide for running city adventures) and see the great art and layout and consider the additional CD and stuff, I...

    Iron Heroes...what's your opinion?

    Hmm, I have yet to try out the Arcanist in actual play. I only read the rules and comments ond this and Montes boards. Maybe the Arcanist is a blast in actual play. I will have to see this for myself.

    No previews for "Year's Best D20?"

    Well, I think most of the smaller publishers out there just wait to see who contributed and how the product is accepted by the crowd. If it turns out to be successfull, I think, if Monte does the Best of 05´next year, he will have a lot more stuff to choose from. So I hope this will be...

    Iron Heroes...what's your opinion?

    Now I really love the combat mechanics. I haven´t played IH yet, but am preparing a one shot for my Players. What I do not like is the "unfinished" or "sloppy work" feeling the magic system has. This is the first time I feel like that with a Malhavoc product. And this leaves me disappointed...

    Iron Heroes useable in regular D&D?

    I have IH and think about bringing the Weapon Master as a NPC Class into my Campaign (trying to build real tough, magic hating Foes). I think if you compare an IH Class to the Core you have to build both of them with the implied magic items or lack of them. I haven´t done the math yet, but I...

    Are spell DC's too low?

    Isn´t it: 17 x 60% x 4 + 8 x 40% x 4 = 53,6 pts.?

    So Voldemort is a... (HP 6 Spoilers!)

    ...Lich that has no less than 7 Phylacteries! Why? because he can not be destroyed without all his Phylacteries (or Horcruxes) are also destroyed. This is a great Idea by Mrs. Rowling. Imagine the Players, having destroyed the obvious Phylactery but facing the Lich again....

    Green Ronin's Eternal Rome

    Though Eternal rome is rules light, it has some great mechanics: 1) The Gladiator is useable in Core D&D with a little tempering with the Fame rules. 2) Chariot races are BIG fun. You can recreate the Ben Hur (sp?) feeling. In playtest this was a blast.

    Orcs in d&d vs LOTR

    Yeah, that was one of the silly things in the Film that annoyed me without end. I looked like the smaller Orcs were working on a large stewpot and cooked the Uruks up. Gaa...
