Another vote for the Keith Baker books. I'm re-reading the first one and it's great stuff. Tim Waggoner's book is also very good. It takes place in the Lhazaar Principalities, so it has a different feel than the books set in Sharn or on the mainland. Also has characters who have that "shades...

I like most of the same authors the original poster mentioned. I've heard good things about Steven Erikson's "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series and also R. Scott Bakker's "The Darkness that Comes Before". Right now I'm re-reading Keith Baker's "The City of Towers", the first of his Dreaming...

Divine Might, Divine Vigor or possibly Combat Brute. Since you have Turn Undead attempts that (I'd imagine) usually go to waste, I'd go with Divine Might or Vigor.

I have mixed feelings about Kelemvor. His hatred of undead is a nice change from the typical Evil God of the Dead who encourages his priests to turn every shabby corpse they find in to a zombie. The potential for conflict between Kelemvor and Jergal could be interesting (but hasn't been up to...

My reaction was similar. I found it to be in bad taste, but also hilarious. Ok, maybe not quite the same as your reaction. To answer the question in the thread title: It's exploding panties, what else?

Well, if you are going to be the primary arcane spellcaster, that pretty much rules out the Duskblade. You just won't have the area effect spells (our good friend, Fireball, for instance) or the utility spells. Duskblade gets you a spellcaster with better armor class, better BAB, better...

You say that like it's a bad thing. They're very tender.

Sean K Reynolds wrote a book called "Curse of the Moon". As you may have guessed from the title, it's all about lycanthropes. I was actually just going to post a review of this product either tonight or tomorrow. It presents a very cool way to make lycanthrope characters playable, with a...

I would like to write a review of Sean K Reynolds Games "Curse of the Moon". Could someone add it to the product database? Thanks!

It's too bad to hear that, since I think the first one was a great book too. I guess it's not surprising considering Monte's announcement that he's changing his focus from RPG products. I'd be interested to see if another company steps in with a product like this. Just not sure if the same...

It would be a bummer to find out, several seconds too late, that the Weaver actually wanted 38 Green Salads... Anyway, can't wait to see this issue since I absolutely loved Perdido Street Station. It might be cool to mesh some Bas Lag stuff with the Etherscope campaign setting. Anyway, sounds...

I doubt Elminster will be eliminated too. Still, I'd hope that the ranks of the Chosen of Mystra would get thinned out a *bit*. There really are quite a few of them. I certainly wouldn't want the designers to kill off every high level good-aligned NPC in the setting, but it would be nice to...

Do you mean Eberron? :D Anyway, as a longtime FR fan (and more recent Eberron fan) I think the new trilogy of adventures sounds pretty cool. My Realms lore might be a bit off, but it seems like the last HUGE Realms event was the Time of Troubles. PCs playing in Rashemen or Damara may have...

Hmmm, so many choices for crappy base classes. ;) I'll go with: Arcanist: Warlock "I'll just be over hear, blasting. Just don't expect anything flashy like a fireball, or any useful party buffs. So, yeah, blasting." If Warlock doesn't count as an arcanist, Spellthief will do. Warrior...

I'm using a bunch of PHBII stuff and will soon be using stuff from Complete Mage. I don't get to play as often as I'd like, so it's hard to take advantage of new material sometimes. My current character was built around obtaining a prestige class in Complete Warrior, so I don't really have...

Sounds like a cool trilogy, and I'd guess it has something to do with Paul Kemp's new novel "Shadowbred". Still, every time I read the words "Tearing of the Weave" I can't help but think about the violent removal of someone's hair-weave. I'm even mildly interested in the drow book, based on...

I'm pretty excited about the Eberron Last War book since it's been something I've been hoping to see since the setting was introduced. I'll give Complete Champion a look, mostly because I found Complete Divine to be kind of average and uninspiring, while the later Complete books have, IMO, been...

I haven't read an RAS book in ages, but as I recall wouldn't plain old Drow Fighter be a good start? Granted, I haven't read any books with Jarlaxle in them since the first Underdark trilogy (whatever that was called) but he seemed to just be a very skilled and clever fighter. So, fighter with...

The Twilight property for armor reduces ASF. It's in the Book of Exalted Deeds and reprinted in the PHB II.

Yeah, Dark Horse Comics is re-rereleasing the Lankhmar books. I think Book 2 is coming out in March or April.
