    Turning feat thoughts

    There is, at least in 3.0, Heighten Turning. You subtract a number, up to your effective cleric level, from your damage roll (the total HD affected) and add it to your turning check (to see the maximum HD affected). Pre-reqs are Cha 13 and Extra Turning, but it only saw print in Defenders of the...

    GC 2006 - Ptolus Hardback $120!?!

    Well, actually, it's closer to $400. I'll be needing my fix after skipping this year's GC in favor of an actual honeymoon with my new wife. She understands, though. We went to GC '04 together when she was still just the fiancee. And as my local GS only carries WotC releases in stock (other d20...

    GC 2006 - Ptolus Hardback $120!?!

    Why do I get the feeling that there will be only a few pre-orders... until the Player's Guide gets its free pdf release in May?

    GC 2006 - Ptolus Hardback $120!?!

    Well, I had no idea the thread would end up this contentious when I started it, jeez. My big problem with the book's price is that 120 bucks is a third of my GenCon book budget. It's definitely tempting, but... I just can't justify spending 120 bucks on it at GenCon just to get an autographed...

    GC 2006 - Ptolus Hardback $120!?!

    According to the GamingReport coverage of the Malhavoc GenCon seminars at http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=18356&mode=thread&order=0, next year's release of the Ptolus campaign setting hardback is going to retail for $120 US! Has the success finally gone to Monte's head? Is...

    where is the spell to harden walls & objects?

    Hardening can be found in the Eberron setting book. 6th level sorcerer spell, adds 1 per 2 caster levels to the hardness of a metal or mineral item of up to 1 ft^3 per caster level (10 ft^3 per CL for softer objects). No nasty material components or such, so it looks like it's what you're...

    Which On-line SRD do you use?

    I subscribed to Hypertext just to get the downloadable version. I know Sovelier/Sage is downloadable, but it doesn't matter to me. d20srd.org is so much better, it's no contest in my eyes, and Jans' work is deserving of my support.

    Epic cleric feats /PrCs?

    Divine Reach is almost essential. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the Reach Spell feat in Complete Divine. Beyond that, though... Well, Mastery of Energy is nice if you face a lot of undead (+4 to turning and HD turned checks) But taking more than 2 or 3 levels in Hierophant? I dunno...

    max strength bonus for composite bows

    In 3.0 as far as I know, the max was +4. In 3.5, however, it scales upward infinitely, assuming you can find a craftsman to make it. Costs 100gp per plus in addition to the bow cost, so a +10 mighty bow would be 1000 gp beyond normal price.

    Mongoose Book Naming Competition

    Well, as I came up with the title for Tome of Horrors, I figured I'd try and enter my suggestion. As for what it is, well... think German silent horror movies that have inspired Rob Zombie videos.

    Intelligent Mounts + Handle Animal?

    From Rules of the Game: All About MOunts (Part 5) on WotC's website: Intelligent Mounts According to the Dungeon Master's Guide, a mount with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher acts like an NPC ally rather than a mount. Riding such an ally works much like riding an aggressive mount in battle...

    Races of Destiny: Anyone got it?

    Races of Stone, err, well, rocks. Your groan here. I really like the Goliaths. They fit a role that I had always wanted to bring into my games, that of something in between a human and a half-giant. (The "half-giants" in the XPH are a joke. I'm sorry, just... no. Dark Sun half-gaints are the...

    New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

    $20 via PayPal. Sorry it's not more, but being a full-time college student and getting married in March have eaten up most of my cash.

    Ragnarock for the Scarred Lands

    This doesn't shock me. Disappoint me greatly, yes, but not shock me. Now it looks like the only S&SS stuff I'll be buying is Malhavoc and the occasional high-level Necromancer adventure. Neither of which is really "true" S&SS stuff. :\

    A third Gith race - Githvyrik?

    The Athasian gith are a stunted, mutant version of githyanki, left in their primative state by a psychic "bomb" that was detonated early in Athas's history. At least that's what I remember from Black Spine. Anybody who wants to know for sure can go read it in closer detail.
