Honestly, I dislike the change to the threat range AND I think Vorpal was not changed enough. Personally the only reason I think threat ranges were a problem in 3.0 was the fact that Vorpal was too powerful. As written, the property is more powerful than epic weapon properties, especially if you...

Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever played in a campaign that did not have at least one house rule. There is usually at least one rule that the DM or players really can't stand and will choose to fix. Personally I house rule a lot because there were a lot of holes and poor rules in...

:confused: How do you figure that? Unless I misunderstood, they don't gain any xp. I don't see where this "big pool of free xp", you mention is coming from. Tzarevitch

I both agree and disagree. "Well written and designed", it is, "evocative", it is not. It actually is amazingly bland for a setting that features ghosts and the afterlife so heavily and it most certainly isn't worth its hefty price tag. I agree with the sentiment that you should go find a copy...

Any chance that you could post exactly how scry works now? I am dying to learn that the new mechanism is. Is it a saving throw as was rumored and what modifiers apply? Thanks in advance. Tzarevitch

How about the misuse of "its" and "it's"? I understand non-native speakers confusing them because they ARE confusing and counter-intuitive, but I am not sure why so many people born and raised with english as a primary language still confuse them. I guess part of the problem is English is...

What I would like to know is 1) did 3.5 clarify how long it takes a sorcerer to cast a spell using a metamagic feat? and 2)have they cleaned up their definition of a full round action and 1 full round? (See below for my attempt to clarify my questions.) 3.0 seemed to use two definitions of...

The primary problem I have with paying to return from death is why should any god care that you want to pay money to return from death? The clergy might need the cash but the god certainly doesn't and the deity is the one actually granting the return from death. It fundamentally turns deities...

I can't remember if it is errata or an early 3.5 rule but wasn't there something about the caster actually being required to be able to cast a spell-slot of that level even if he has some means of not actually paying the metamagic cost? In other words he can't quicken a 9th level spell even with...

What is even more bizarre is that the Holy Liberator (the CG version of the paladin) IS a Prestige Class. Tzarevitch

3.0 Hold Person may be better, but not the 3.5version. A consistant +2 Hit and damage for 3 minutes is better than a save to avoid spell that allows a re-save the next round . . . and the next . . . and so on. Basically, you've used your action for the round to cancel your target's action for...

1) Personally, I agree that the duration on these things was too long. I would've opted for 10/min/lvl myself though I don't have a real problem with 1 min/lvl. 2) See #1 but I disagree with the idea that 10 min/lvl is too difficult to track. 3) Actually it encourages low level use because...

I always thought grenades targeted an area with a burst effect and a reflex save for 1/2 similar to a spell. Tzarevitch

Re: Re Maybe I missed it but since when has it been stated that the ranger is intended to be interchangeable with the fighter? Tzarevitch

You said it for me too. It seems like WoTC is busy solving a non-problem. Certain combos will be suboptimal. Just don't choose them. Arcane and divine magic are not related. Complaining that they don't stack well strikes me as being the same as wanting the best racecar and the best off-road SUV...

It always was. By the time anyone chooses to fight a dragon they almost always have a weapon or two to breach its DR. Tzarevitch

I must agree. None of these abilities are what anyone would call powerful. They are all either quite trivial or are in fact a slight mitigation of a penalty. Tzarevitch

Honestly, I love yuan-ti. They're just so . . . evil and cool, the rationale why they hated Manefest struck me as stupid. Unfortunately I just wasn't all that impressesed with Ghostwalk. Thankfully I read it at Barnes and Noble before I made the mistake of buying it. As much as I despise...

The class is quite good. It is one of the better classes for an arcane caster and it is VERY GOOD for sorcerers. The requirement for abjuration specialist is painful for Wizards but much less so for sorcerers b/c you have a limited spell selection anyway. Most sorcerers tend to "specialize"...

Personally, I agree with you. I haven't seen it used in a game yet but I have seen the old horrid 2e Chronomancer supplement which produced similar abominations. I haven't permitted ANY abilty that retroactively causes wide-scale time alteration in any game I have run since then. I banned this...
