I just got Black Ice Well as it was a meaty 70+ page adventure with unique creatures in it. I figured if I could get just one night out of it in the future it'd be all worth it. Hell, just as an entertaining story it paid for itself several times over. One question, though: Who cleared this as...

I thought Sovereign Stone did a pretty good job of it with Codex Mysterium. I like the core casting stuff except I think some way to keep Clerics and Druids from automatically learning a metric ton of new and exotic spells every year needs to be put in place.

Eh, your core casting stat is Charisma yet for some odd reason you don't get enough skill points or Charisma skills to be a really good face. Sure, you can face it up if you really try but other classes will put you to shame on it for the most part. Spell limitation is a huge bummer, too. You...

Dammit, got beat on the Talislanta thing. Atlantis is a fun world.

Awesome with the Mike Modano thing.

No, sports would end because mixing of races screws with the games totally. Flying with basketball? 15+ foot reaches making dunks routine? Though I would like to see a Thri Keen who idolized Chocolate Thunder really put on a show with dunks from the rafters. Everyone seems to think that the...

No, trained riding dogs would be used to control the cat menace. Riding dogs are scary to 1st level characters.

The moral nature of someone could easily be deduced and lies easily discovered. Society would come to end.

Screw Mind Flayers. In the pants. Aboleths are stronger, easier to advance, and not as played out. In fact, they're criminally underused.

Lots of people wanted the Beholder to get a Dispel Magic effect. Could this be an extension of the power of the main eye or should 1 of the eye tentacles abilities be turned into Dispel Magic,Greater?

If there is a spell that deals Dex damage that would be the spell to go with.

The racial bonus to the Eye Rays save DCs is sticking in my craw. The Beholder is underdiced and understatted because it had Finger of Death, Flesh to Stone, Charm Monster and Disintegrate. Well, now that all it has is Disintegrate as the "big poppa" spell its time for more dice and better...

Prismatic Beholder? That sounds awesome! What CR would you shoot for with something like that?

The Beholder seems weaker because it trades some very powerful abilities for the ability to have smaller abilities hit harder. Except for the Disintegrate ray. This thing would be scary for any class with low HP to fight against.

I like the whole tempting thing, but not when its blatant. To me a DM deliberately goading a player into losing powers is one of the biggest dick moves in the game. Sometimes could all these armchair philosophers just let a paladin kick ass in the name of the Lord?

Why aren't there a lot of threads about DMs revoking Druid powers? I feel that true Neutral is far harder to play than LG. I guess mileage really varies. Never see threads about Clerics getting their powers suspended, either. The treatment of the subject is that there is no leeway at all for a...

What? They sing battle hymns and war chants to pump up their enemies than lay the spell and shortbow smack down. Are Savage Bards "lovers"? Bards are the Enkidu to the measty character's Gilgamesh, not namby pambies. Oh, and if you give a Bard full BAB I'll never play a rogue again for as long...

The Sorcerer thing is like, whooptydoo, ya know? Someone can either take 2 weaker feats and get 6 to 10 strong prestige class abilities and not lose any casting ability or they can get a +17 to detect dragon turtles! Come on! There is no incentive to stay straight sorcerer and until there is a...

Why shut it down? The underlying question in the OP are still interesting, and people should be able to talk about them. Plus, I'm figuring the note should be able to whip up at least another 10 responses. Here's one: I think it was pretty chicken, and you've got more than one problem player in...

Duh. They look good on paper, but I've never saw somebody play one. /I put on Dunce cap. Wait, it was already on!
