I dont recall anything specific in RAW. In my opinion, UNPAID Sentient creatures count vs leadership because you are asking them to VOLUNTARILY follow you. I agree with RAW that familiars and special mounts should count because they are Intelligent (and thus should qualify for Classes with the...

presumably the Outer Planes are cosmically Balanced so an evil solar would represent what the party would face if the GM needs a Cr23 devil/demon (and vice-versa).

Volaran is correct: the specific overrides the general. The Familiar section specifically states “For the purpose of effects related to number of Hit Dice, use the master’s character level or the familiar’s normal HD total, whichever is higher.” All of the core sample familiars begin with...

likely the same reason Starcraft/etc are live-play competitive televised sports in Korea while we're stuck with ho-hum basketball/etc here in the USA ... lack of innovative sponsors willing to overlook a large lucrative niche market of active players.

In short, suppose a player really really wants to play his superhero-x concept, but the rest of the group is either wants to play/continue a d20/3.5 campaign so rather than make him conform or wait, the dm has numerous options of getting him into the campaign, but whats a corresponding power level??

Correct ... RAW states "A familiar is a normal animal that gains new powers and becomes a magical beast when summoned to service by a sorcerer or wizard.” Since nothing in the Familiar section (either specifically or implicably) states they are incapable of self-improvement, they would advance...

Yes. Familiars are essentially "equipment" and thus do NOT gain a share of the Party Xp/treasure, however can/should receive anything rightfully earned by themselves; advancing as an Magical Beast per RAW. Likewise their minimum Int:6 means they optionally advance either by increasing their...

MoxieFu Hard to say. However many stores began Holiday sales far far earlier than ever, skewing the year-over-year numbers by including far more weeks than ever, so while INITIAL overall sales were likely higher, they might not be had the timespan been held consistent. Secondly, we've yet heard...

francisca True and I suspect you're correct in WOTC is moving to 95% digital, with just the Core books available in print to lure new players. The past few years have seen them take several steps in limiting player's access to information (PDf's, free articles) in favor of moving things behind a...

typo??

hopefully (but doubtful) WOTC's decision foreshadows their eventual/long past due recognition they are part of Hasbro ... whose in-house subsidiaries have decades of experience producing high quality, fully positionable plastic "mini's" with replaceable equipment/accessories (ie action figures)...

Hopefully dropping the minis means/implies Hasbro is finally stepping up and switching over to positional "gi joe/starwars standard action figures" with swappable weapons/etc. The future lack of compilations is easy to "explain" -- WOTC cant prevent DDI-subscribers from sharing the compiled...

Grand Bishop here as well

yes. M&M is interestingly and highly useful ... however a true d20 (or at least a To<>From conversion would allow/ease the genre crossovers available via numerous means (gates, planar travel, spells, etc).

Question 1: Ring of Quickened True Strike True Strike is a 1st level spell with no material or xp components, taking 1 standard action to cast. Presuming a lenient DM allows your first level mage's Mentor to assist: Mundane Ring: negligible True Strike upon Command Word: Spell level(1) × caster...

As I quickly read it, Spell Combat requires the caster use a light or one-handed melee weapon whereas Spell Strike works in conjunction with ANY melee weapon.

simple: self-publish a related PDF thereby making your related gaming reference materials, thumb drives/disks, paper, etc used in producing it deductible from whatever profits you make. (I'd avoid expensing your pc/printer simply because you should have someway to prove how you derived the...

Interesting take on his question. You're right, if Magic can grant an item the ability to cast/duplicate any single spell effect, and temporarily grant any given feat (ie: Bracers Of Arcane Freedom = Still Spell feat) then there really isn't any reason why it couldn't boost ALL spells of a...
