Elves may get weapon familiary in the elven thinblade (1d8 damage, 18-20, Weapon finesse-able, medium). Andy Collins created this weapon and he seems to be doing alot of work on this revision... same goes for the halfling and the skiprock.

Use Rope is weak? You're kidding, right? In 2e this was a very often taken proficiency, and it is very useful in 3e too. Many times my characters have been at teh top of a cliff with a rope. They tie the rope and start going down... if that use rope check aint good... well.. bad things happen...

I noticed this as well, and was planning on putting up a scoop (someone really needs to) since it involes 3.5e. I am pretty sure the skill points in the monster class chapter are correct.. 8 for outsiders and 4 for undead... just makes more sense that way, and its far easier to misprint on a...

I've been flipping through Savage Species trying to decide what sorts of creature I want to play and came upon an interesting idea for a campaign: Touched by an Angel. Imagine an entire party of celestials who pop into a situation and have to help out someway... they might not always know...

Assuming it was well done and fit the book, I would probably be more likely to purchase the book if it was done in an anime style. Good anime can be exceptionally beautiful and could really make for a nice looking rpg book. I've found that some of the best Dragonlance art that I've seen, for...

Re: Re: [MEG] PDF discount for Tournaments, Fairs, and Taverns? Sounds good. TF&T is a very fine book... thanks for releasing it in print and for giving a little back to its PDF fans :)

I remember on previous releases Mystic Eye Games has given a discount on their website to people who purchased the pdf of a print book equal to the cost of the pdf... will you all be doing that for Tournaments, Fairs, and Taverns as well?

Neither do I. Nor do I trust the double Strength bonus in both weapons, but it could be there. I have a strong feeling that the two-weapon fighter will get errataed by Chris Thomasson... guess we'll just have to wait till he posts it to see.

Ghostwalk, the old secret project "g" from Monte Cook and Sean K. Reynolds, a campaign setting wherein the players play in a world of ghosts, is coming out finally in June after long delay. WotC has announced that certain products will be forward compatible with D&D 3.5, but most have been...

I reported before that the rat familiar in Life's Bazaar had a special quality called "minor scent". I just checked through the web-enhancement, however, and noticed that a weasel familiar has "scent". Does this mean that a weasel is considered better at scenting than a rat? If they are trying...

Looks like I missed one detail in my "detailed" analysis. In Yuathyb's statblock, the following skill is listed: "Pick Pockets (Sleight of Hand) +4" I am assuming this is a double listing of the same skill, giving both the 3.0 name and the 3.5 name so that the adventuer makes sense to users...

Just make Trapfinding a feat (the ability to find traps with a DC higher than 20) and make Trap Sense another feat that requires Trapfinding as a prerequisite. In my own d20 game, I have Traps (the 3.0 name for trapfinding... cf. the PHB) as a feat availible to non-rogues that lets them find...

Possible, but I doubt it. Making rogues wait till after 1st level to detect magic traps seems a bit nasty. And why would it be called "sense?" I'd expect "improved trapfinding" or something... "sense" implies that this is intuitive to teh rogue. Of course, perhaps the designers feel you have to...

Unfortunately, the adventure only provides level 5 rogues and level 1 rogues, so its impossible to gauge when trap sense sets in, but I would think it'd be closer to level 5 than level 2. I agree trap finding can be tedious, but I'm not sure I want everyone with just one level of rogue being...

It could be that the penalty for using two non-light weapons is harsher still, but it seems odd to have separate stats for two light rather than a light and a non-light. Frankly, it may well be that there is an error in the stat-block. Or maybe they decided to balance Two-Weapon fighting not...

How can someone know the rules better than an epic loremaster? Or do you have a rules deity in your group? --- Put your pole down, Billy! Canoeing is a row playing game, not a roe playing game.

Thanks Eric:) I just wanted to post it where others could reply to it and discuss it... I guess the best method is to post a new thread and also post a scoop. Think it's best to post the whole text in the scoop or a link to the new topic? Btw, I'm also known as Antrion from the old boards in...

I recently posted my analysis of Life's Bazaar for new 3.5e hints, figuring that'd be a good place since other scoops in there got filtered through to the news and the 3.5e info page. Mine hasnt yet, however, and I analyzed and posted that stuff to contribute to the 3.5e mining operation, as it...

Well, I just got the new issue of Dungeon in the mail and did some scouring of my own in Life's Bazaar... I found these interesting tidbits: All rogues in the adventure have a Special Quality called "trapfinding". This seems to be the new name for the Traps ability in the PHB that allow rogues...

Forgot to mention that I removed all the fluff text that went with this.. originally I had these things presented in the contexts of books that could be found as well as an NPC Conjurer that had compiled them, but for this I decided to just publish the crunchy bits. Zappo: Yes, conjuration is...
