Oh, good catch. That's something that's easy to get lost in the 'sudden shuffle' when a Warmage does a big blast.

Any of the books with character creation: Off hand, I can think of Palladium RPG, the main Rifts book. I'm not sure of what others. There used to be a website that had them but I can't find it anymore.

Okay, Selfish is another good replacement, too. However, again, it's not the way 'Chaotic' (IE acting in a random fashion - see the great OotS comic) is normally 'portrayed'. The fact that 'chaotic' is presented in multiple fashions - one as 'myself before others' and the second as...

I *really* like the 'movement point' option someone menitoned in another thread. Doubling the 'movement' value then going 2 MP cardinally, and 3 MP diagonally. It's much faster easier to just add numbers than try to remember whether your last diagonal was equal to 1 or 2..

The other issue is that the Alignment system itself is screwed up. I know the 'original origins' of the Law-Chaos axis, but the way they're described in current 3.x is more confusing than helpful. Law =/= Chaos. If they wanted Lawful to mean 'obeying the laws', then Chaotic should have been...

D&D minis are on round bases.. It doesn't matter how you rotate them, they fit in their alloted squares whether facing a side or a corner.

Um.. Again, I'm not seeing anywhere about *mapping* rooms at 1-1-1-1 whatever. A 20' room, whether drawn diagonally or not is going to be 20' on a side. Whether the characters can move faster across that room diagonally is a function of the 1-1-1-1 movement rule, not a function of the room's...

Right. DC 20 + Hide Check (which at that point is 0).

Because most people don't know how to play CN as anything other than "Chaotic Disruptive" or "I can be a total jerk to everyone because I wrote CN on my character sheet". The problem isn't with the alignment, it's with most of the players who choose it.

In LotR, Halflings were ~4' tall, which is how I imagine Halflings. They were half the size of one of the old human races (forget the name) which were ~8' tall, hence 'half' the height.

Unless they're invisible. Then being spotted is DC 20 + hide check (DC 40 + hide check if the invisible creature is not moving at all).

With all the other gauntlet slot items that are available? I'm thinking it might not be as many as you're thinking it is, either. And, I'm also guessing that there are many players and DMs who don't realize that a swallowed character is considered Grappled..

Right. But, how many players or DMs that have PCs that get swallowed actually know the rules? Because, my guess is that a *lot* of PCs are getting off a lot better than they should be.

They're extra nasty because of all the fire damage their tummy does compared to 'normal' acid of most critters. However, what's pretty funny is that we had a PC in our game this past Sunday get swallowed by one of them. He had about 85 hp and he lasted *three* rounds...

Yeah, but you were specifically set up for being swallowed. I'm interested to know how many Players and DMs realize just how screwed PCs who don't have P/S natural weapons or P/S light weapons in hand are when they're swallowed.

The same way it makes sense to automatically dismiss 4e without being able to view the final product as some are doing? And, doesn't *someone* have to end up purchasing said product to write a review or at least write well thought out impressions anyway? The thing is this though: Most of the...

And, there are enough of the big critters with Swallow, too. I don't think many people realize just *how screwed* the average PC is once they get swallowed.

Unless said PC *already* has a light piercing/slashing weapon in hand/readied or can do a lot of damage some other way to the monster that swallowed her, I seriously doubt that. Swallowed PCs are royally screwed.

Where's the mention of that -20 modifier, please? I can't seem to find it.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Just use a ruler and circular templates. Or, make some kind of 'standard distance' length flexible string or plastic measurement aids that you can 'lay out' for a travel path.
