    Is Bardic Knowledge = to a feat ?

    Then take out the fluff and make it a jack of all trades sort of guy. Easy.

    [SWSE] Are Jedi just plain better than everyone else?

    Which may have been around since 1977, just not mentioned in the films. Apparently Lucas had them in mind all along and included them in author's guidlines. Not to say that this is a defense, just that they aren't new.

    Eberrons bizzare maps

    That is for passengers, yeah. That includes food, water, possibly wine, a nice seat inside away from the sun and not having to do any work while you go. Commoners can't afford this sort of luxury.

    How do you see Darkvision?

    Me too. I got the idea from an image of a Mindflayer percieved through Darkvision. It was all texture and no colour.

    Eberron Questions

    As a fairly important aside, nothing in the novels is canon to the setting. The events in the Mark of Death series or Dreaming Dark trilogy or any of the other books are never assumed to actually take place in Eberron.

    Age of Worms ancient history

    Dude... did you SEE what happened to the Nazis? "Oh Pharoh, our priests have melted attempting to invoke the Ark of the Hebrews. Shall I have it destroyed?" "Destroyed?! Do you want to piss off their god even more? Just... just put it away someplace."

    DMs are too easy on their players

    Yeah, I think that is the main difference. When the party starts to win, the adversarial GM gets all frustrated and tries to start winning again. The tough GM is just proud.

    DMs are too easy on their players

    Tomato, tomahto. You look at that and say something like "hey, what the hell?" and I look at that and say "now THIS is what I've been missing." The only thing I really disagree with in the OP is "- You think that character is of an overpowered class? A broken class? Wait until you see my...

    DMs are too easy on their players

    You'd be surprised. There are loads of people who want this kind of edge to their game, or something similar. No punches pulled. Your enemies want you DEAD and will take all reasonable measures to KILL you. Not to line up in nice orderly rooms and wait for you to show up in a predestined...

    Drow as a LE race

    Drow have always been CE in my book because their byzantine law structure was put in place to encourage their treachery and sharpen their cunning, not to give them any sense of honor or respect for structure and authority. Lolth wants them to be viscious backstabbing, treacherous, devious...

    RIGHT! Right I forgot all about VII for a moment. Falls into the whole Gehenna/Apocalypse style of option book. THOSE I see the point completely, yes.

    To my knowlege no other bloodsucker except Cainites has generation, but this is a curiosity now instead of an actual concern. None of them are universal. Many of them are as supported and integral as any given human religion. Werewolf is a little tighter about this. The Father Wolf myth is...

    Compare oWoD w/ nWoD

    As an honest question without any snark intended or implied, was this an alternate and viable history of the 13 Clans that accounted for generation or was this a completely different variety of supernatural creature that happened to drink blood and hate sunlight? Because the Keujin were quite...

    But aside from the Kuejin the Caine myth was universal (and the kuejin were distinctly not the same supernatural race as Cainites.). Nobody had an alternate theory that held any water. Camarilla, Sabbat, Inconnu, Anarchs... all of them had at least lipservice belief in the Cain myth. Even the...

    Good thing it isn't an issue then. All of the factions have an interest in research and discovery. They argue a great deal because of the dreamstate of Topor, but they don't just wash their hands of it and walk away. The nature, history and origin of Vampires matters very much to a lot of...

    Lacking time, I'll cross post the antagonists bit from wikipedia to spark some discussion.

    No, they only have a group because they are all outcasts. They are explicitly outside the 5x5 model. Unbound, Ghost Wolves, etc are all generic names for individual people who don't have a social group to belong to. and even the iconoclast cultures (carthians, iron... masters? and the Free...

    Compare oWoD w/ nWoD

    The options are still there. Every branch has an outcast group as well as a loose association of iconoclasts as well as plenty of room to make your own groups to fit in various places. Social groups are not nearly as monolithic as they used to be and even from city to city the same general...

    Except for the fact that there are dozens of ways people think about magic. The basic principles are unified and unarguable, but the practices vary dramatically from population to population. Tools and techniques are still varied, even though each Path will always have two arcana in common...
