    Torches in combat

    I know I've seen this info somewhere, but I didn't find it. So some questions inspired by random thoughts... Is it possible to do damage with a torch? If you have a torch in your off-hand and can take a full round action, can you attack with a sword and a torch? Is it a simple weapon? Can...

    Advice for a Con n00b

    Tables in gaming books

    I'm doing some layout work for a friend, and I'm having a hard time deciding the best way to insert tables into the document. Since many publishers have been known to lurk around here, I thought I'd see how some of you built and inserted tables in your published books/pdfs At this point I'm...

    Gaming catchphrases, expressions, and idioms--what are yours?

    Well mine comes from my high level game. I play a mutant dwarf who uses an Orc-Double Axe, gets massive attacks per round and is kind of the front-line party battler. A few years back when Star Wars Episode I came out there was a clip of the duel between Darth Maul and Obiwan and Qui-Gon Jinn...

    And here it is....the WotC contest Delay.

    I think that the delay was well-played, and I think it can only help the chances of well-thought-out entries that have more richness of detail. Whether that helps my entry or not, the end result should be better selections for moving into round 2.

    How do Bards acquire new spells?

    Howdy! I was re-reading the PHB (maybe I'm just dense and I missed it) and I really didn't see anywhere that described the process of exactly how Bards learn new spells. The question came up because of this text in the Harper Scout PrC from the FRCS And also does this mean the Scout may...

    Pirate Raid?

    ...bubbles erupting mixed with light foam filling, swirling into the air and getting spun up in the breeze, popping to mix into the frog of war... the tiny foam pellets begin the long arduous process of crawling back to the neo-vinyl casing chanting in miniscule voices...

    Pirate Raid?

    *pops his head in the thread, glancing about nervously, then scurries across the room in a hasty shuffle, his pants around his ankles and a long streamer of toilet paper stuck to his left heel. He scurries up to Akunin while buttoning his fly and reaches out for a card.* "I missed the last...

    Munchkin bashing [rant]

    Pulls up a seat... gets confused because he IS a seat... plops down on himself and cracks open a frosty can of Diet Coke.

    Jack, have you checked out some of the ships available at SWRPGNetwork? They are pretty well done, and there should be some that fit the bill... Sia-Lan Wezz

    (Episode II) Yoda makes me squeal with glee.

    Artoo Deetoo could fly in Episode 1, it just ended up on the cutting room floor. I think the CGI stuff blends more smoothly than it ever has, and it's getting better all the time. I'm one of the rare ones who actually enjoyed Episode 1 and I don't hold the same standards for the movies that I...

    Cross-Class question

    My new Bard/Cleric started with his perform at 4 ranks, he's now 1/1 but since the Max ranks for cross class skills at level one is 2, does that mean I can not increase the skill at all, even at Cross-Class cost? Also, is there a feat for characters above 1st level that allows a Cross-Class...

    A LG, LN, or NG Rogue?

    A rogue can be any alignment, this is simple truth. Examples of roguish characters who are not evil abound. I reccommend reading the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling for a great example of a rogue who works unofficially for the monarchy and the wizards of the kingdom in various tasks...
