Eh? Now it doesn't make sense in the terms of the Shatterspike magic weapon. Would have made much more sense to ADD the first line to the description of shields. Jack

I read it straight out of the 3.5 DMG. Very first paragraph on page 222 under Hardness and Hit Points. I was overzealous in including shields however as they do not seem to have the same benefit. Jack

One thing that's been over looked is that a magic weapon or shield cannot be sundered by a weapon with a lesser enhancement bonus than it's own. (Which is why my Paladin's Adamantine Greatsword is also a Shatterspike weapon. :) ) Jack

First question, What does he already have? Jack

Very close to Bat Swarm. 4 HD (18 hp), +6 Init, AC 14, Fort +4 Ref +6 Will +3. Has Blinding ability instead of Wounding (which can be fixed with any sort of healing). Worse skills and Improved Initiative instead of Lightening Reflexes. I think it would be on the weaker side of a Level 4 Druid...

Hmmm.... I've never found Spring Attack to be all that useful. Generally it's most valuable when striking Large or large creatures as you can get to them without drawing attacks of opportunity and then get out of their threat range. Provided you have a tank keeping them in place it's a zero...

From my read of the abilities it would be: Longsword +18/+13/+8 Shortsword +19/+14 BAB is +12 STR bonus is +4 Weapon Focus is +1 (applies to both weapons via Tempest Ability) Longsword Bonus is +1 Shortsword Bonus is +2 Shortsword is Light so Tempest ability reduces TW penalty to 0 and can...

Hi Folks, I had an interesting idea and wanted to float it past you all. Do you think it would work to take a Murder of Crows (as presented in ToM) as an Animal Companion for a Druid? For those who don't have access to Tome of Magic, a Murder of Crows is essentially akin to a Swarm of Bats and...

Hmmm.... I was way outside the box. I thought "Bravado". Not sure how that was going to help find the lair but then I figured I was wrong anyway. :) Jack

And I'm a blind idiot. Thank you. Jack

Kobold Ninja... Especially if you use the Races of the Dragon web enhancement that nudges the Kobold up a bit. No other character will Hide like a Kobold Ninja. Jack (who's alll about the Kobold Ninja today)

OK, Ninjas get the ability to apply poison faster but DON'T get the Poison Use ability like the Assassin? Eh? Is this an oversight or intentional? Jack (who's creating a Kobold Ninja just because he can)

Well, As a simple house rule I would simply treat the target as if they were the size of the mount. This should fairly easily simulate the difficulty of grappling with a mounted opponent given the height advantage and secure position they have. Generally though a hand to hand opponent is...

I can't vote on this, I don't make characterters that are everyman or "kewl". I make characters that are interesting. If that happens to be a reluctant farm boy who'd really rather be tending crops than hunting down the goblins that burned down his barn, great! If that happens to be the last...

I would have to say, Wee Jas Law, Magic and Death. What's not to like for a grim SOB like me? Jack

FYI, Rackham just recently released tiles to support their upcoming Cadwallon RPG. Easily used for D&D as well. Jack

Have to agree, Steve Perry's Matador novels (The Man who Never Missed, Matadora, The Machievelli Interfase, Omega Cage, The 97th Step, The Albino Knife, Black Steel and Brother Death) are great popcorn fiction. He's just released a new one in the same universe called The Musashi Flex. I'd also...

OK, Only because I can't believe a board full of geeks like ourselves hasn't said it yet.... "You have no idea the power of the Dark Side!" Jack

Definately, Expedition the the Barrieir Peaks followed by Ghost Tower of Inverness. Jack

Hey, 2300 AD is definately the best from that list as far as setting goes. Especially when you're looking for a hard SF game. I would, however, second Turanil by saying that Transhuman Space would make a much better choice. It has a great setting and isn't stuck in an outdated view of the...
