    Tuen-rin

    I was just playing around with an Epic level Paladin and trying to come up with ideas for mounts when I ran across the ki-rin in Oriental Adventures (and the CC, of course) ;) . This got me to thinking - what about the Tuen-rin, the more powerful, female version of the always-male ki-rin? Has...

    Books you didn't expect much out of -bought anyway- and got a lot of use from.

    Quintessential Sorcerer. It was an impulse buy at GenCon this summer. Thought it was going to be a typical Mongoose book, which generally IMO are overpowered, poorly written, very poorly edited (come on Matt, your company can't run a frelling spellcheck through the text?), and a general waste of...

    Iconics

    There are two different iconic human psions, Ialdebolde the male telepath and Alexandra, the female nomad (focusing in Psychoportation). At least I'm assuming Alexandra is human. She might be a half-elf, although she doesn't have pointed ears as I can see. Kazak, the dwarf, is a savant (focusing...

    What is the dumbest way you've seen a paladin lose his paladinhood?

    Well, the dumbest example I've ever seen was in my relatively long-going(getting up near two years now) online game. I play a paladin/divine champion of Mystra, and no, this is not about me losing my paladinhood. This story concerns another player in the game, who shall remain (relatively)...

    Slaad-a-palooza!

    There's nasty, there's Epic nasty, and then there's this. I'm not sure whether I would rather have to face one of the prismatic slaadi or an atropal. Right now, I think the atropal has the edge, but not by much. Not much at all. Very cool.

    What's your magic level preference?

    I can't really vote for High or Average... I'm somewhere in between.

    What ECL a half fire elemental?

    The DMG lists both half-celestials and half-fiends at ECL +3 (pg 22) There's no change in the DMG errata AFAIK. The Dragon article lists them at ECL +5, though. (The CR mods from the MM are +1 for half-celestials (HA!) and +2 for half-fiends.) Since the half-elemental templates don't have...

    A question of religion in FR

    Personally I find the idea of ANY cleric in FR without a specific god to be offensive. It just doesn't feel right, you know? Anyway, if one takes Faiths and Pantheons into account, there's only one or two gods in FR who actually offer the Death domain. (Kelemvor, Jergal, Osiris, and Urogalan...

    Most interesting Epic Character?

    Epic Rogue with Sneak Attack of Opportunity and Improved Combat Reflexes as well as the Karmic Strike feat from Oriental Adventures. Ooh, so you want to hit me? OK. *BAM* 14d6 sneak attack.

    Most interesting Epic Character?

    Doh! I could almost smack myself. Then as soon as possible, get yourself a Holy Devastator. Double Smite damage.

    Most interesting Epic Character?

    If you reach level 25 of paladin or level 20 paladin and level 5 Divine Champion (FRCS) then you'll have the BAB pre-req to take the Divine Emissary prestige class and get a further two more Smites per day at 27th character level. If you take the Divine Champion PrC you can add Divine Wrath and...

    Keen and Vorpal

    Keen and Vorpal can IMO, be applied to the same weapon, it's just that the random weapon creation tables in the DMG prevent one from ever occuring without a specific design. (You can get a randomly rolled Keen weapon, or a randomly rolled Vorpal weapon, but not both.)

    Is Disintegrate a "Death Spell"

    Well, in terms of affecting undead, Disintegrate does affect them since it also effects items. That, and all Death magic spells will have the [Death] descriptor tacked on after their school, but Disintegrate does not.

    Eva d20 and The Movies Have any of you actually ever seen the movies? They almost (almost, mind you) make Eva make sense the first time you see them. After about the fourth time you see them, go to this site. http://www.evaotaku.com Look through that, read the pages. Then tell me if it...

    (OT Computer OS) Which Should I Use Win2000 or XPpro?

    XP Pro Gotta go XP, if you ask me. The main thing is reboot time. If you update your video drivers as soon as new betas come out, it doesn't matter which one you use, you'll need to reboot. The only difference is that rebooting 2kPro takes about twice as long as XP. And as far as the silly...
