    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    I "bought" some stuff fromt he ENGames Store. Actually it was free products, but when you download anything from the store it creates a "bookshelf" for you so you can download your purchased products any time you want. It's pretty cool.

    It usually starts with a dinner party

    Cool. So if I want the Charm ability I have to take at least the Lesser, right? Hmm. As usual I'm hurting for feats. I'll see what I can do. :) By the way, can I post Caspar in the RG? I didn't get the official OK from you.

    Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    Krikit shrugs. "Sorry," he says, "but my own magical skills are fairly limited. I can tell when something is magical if I can see it normally, but mystically finding something is beyond my talents." He looks around at the others.

    OOC - Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    Naturally, Krikit is much more the subtle "sit in the middle of your web and wait" sort of guy. :D But I'd be up for an assault. Hopefully a stealthy one. Maybe we could stage a distraction of some kind. One or two of us could just walk up to the front gate and request an audience with lord...

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    I still need actions for Girble and Lucas. In the interest of moving things along I'll make assumptions for you if I don't get actions by this afternoon (Eastern US time). Thanks.

    OOC - Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    I had posted last among the players, so I was waiting, too. I think the server downtime threw everybody off. Let's get rolling again! :)

    Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

    "If we don't make an attempt to retrieve our things, what should our next step be? I for one could use a day's rest in a warm bed, but I doubt the local inns are much given to charity." Krikit turns back to Elandra. "Is there any way we could earn room and board here until we decide on a...

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    Heirs of Empire - An unlikely group of young nobles seeks to restore one of their number (who is Chosen of the god of Death) to his usurped fiefdom, while opposing the usurper's insidious necromantic cult whose tentacles reach into all levels of power.

    Strategy or role-playing game?

    The amount of role-playing in a game is far more a function of the group than the rules, I agree. Current D&D publications do, I think, encourage a tactical/wargame approach by devoting huge chunks of print space to rules mechanics alone. On the other hand, when I run a game rules mechanics...

    Weird e-mail received

    No, I think it was just a coding error, according to the second e-mail. Everybody should be receiving these e-mails once or twice. I'm sure it's taken care of now. Morrus might want to post an announcement, though. :)

    Weird e-mail received

    Oh, how annoying for them! I don't know how many times I've coded something != when it should be == or vice versa. Thanks, Wystan.

    Weird e-mail received

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes. I received the following e-mail from "c.johanson@centurytel.net" I am certainly not a publisher. And the one PDF product that I've had a hand in (as editor) is not this one. Can anybody verify that this is a legit e-mail...

    Fighter with spells

    D'oh! Can't believe I forgot the battle sorcerer. Rowport and Hecabus remembered, though. For a nicely formatted version look here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#sorcererVariantBattleSorcerer

    Fighter with spells

    The book you are thinking of is Unearthed Arcana. Arcana Unearthed (and now Arcana Evolved) is a separate d20-based game (not D&D but very similar) by Monte Cook.

    Fighter with spells

    The Hexblade is another option if you're willing to go non-core. His arcane abilities could easily be perceived as divine smiting. But as written the hexblade must be non-good. This might fit your idea perfectly... Core-only, I'd say go with a fighter1/Sor6 with a high dex. I know your BAB...

    Who would you pick to design Fourth Edition?

    S. John Ross would be my first choice. I like everything I've ever seen from him for both flavor and elegant mechanics. It's all been GURPS, but talent is talent. I've heard a lot about Steve Kenson's work, but haven't seen much of it yet (curse Amazon and their shipping delays!).

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    Yes, there is. There are stalagmites thickly gathered along the walls, becoming thinner, shorter and more sparse as you move toward the middle of the passage. You can choose from Cover (+4 AC) to total cover/concealment. Of course if you choose the latter you won't be able to attack either...

    PCs die when...

    ...it's dramatically appropriate.

    Phanton Steed

    I have an NPC in my game who uses PS a lot and some of these questions have come up, but I don't have authoritative answers. The PS is not an animal, so Speak with Animals is right out. As far as I can tell it's a spell effect and not a creature at all, so no mind-affecting spells, either. As...
