    (Mongoose) Reformations, Corrections and Apologies

    And that is something that has gained my respect, they know about a problem and actually do something about it, If I can pick the first printing I will actually feel a lot less sorry about it. Congratulations Mongoose, your move is surely to make up for the customers and will most often than...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    Okay guys, we now have two issues, unless I have forgotten any other here, if I did, forgive me, as it was a good lot of posts to read. 1. The undetectable trap. When I raised this issue I was stating that a search check has its limits, and that is by the rules, they state clearly that a skill...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    Pielorinho, I agree that there is a threshold for the impossible, the epic level handbook took the possible actions to swimming up a waterfall, climbing a perfect smooth horizontal surface (when one is below it) and the like. To me that is what one could never do without magic, as I doubt...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    Thanks for the answer, Darkmaster, you almost got the portuguese right too, and it is that thank you! ;) I really can picture what you said, although I can see with some ease where Pielorinho is coming from, this will serve me well while designing traps for specific locations and also, when...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    Darkmaster, I do the same with the hit and descriptions, I think that your idea might work well, if the situation needs it, would you use that for the door thing I described? i think it surely does a chance to the player... For instance, how would you handle two of the situations I described...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    I will say that I can agree with this, but I never said that a player should roleplay his way out of a encounter, a trap or anything, I just said that I think that making them rollplay it all the time makes the actual thing less interesting, I dislike it and do not enjoy that kind of game, that...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    I never stated that I use one in place of the other, I said that my game still has roleplaying around when the skill check could be the only thing to be done... your actual statement make me want to discuss less because you taek what I did not say and then make things out of it, much like a lot...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    Okay, it seems I triggered a flmae trap! ;) Guys, as I see it nowhere in the search skill it says that searching is a purely eyesight thing, one has to interact, if the wall is hollow how can a character actually realize that? By knockin on the wall, if the panel of that holds the actual...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    Okay guys, it seems I was mostly misunderstood and for that I take all the blame, my point is that while they can search for things from some distance that should not always be the case, as is implied by the generaly word in hyp.'s post, else they will know that it always work and when you place...

    Monte on covers

    The core rulebooks holds the highest standard exactly because it used a real building and made it by hotographing it, this can get pretty awesome results, I can tell because my father is a photographer. ;) And on the cover for the neewest book of the XRP, I must say that it serves the purpose...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    That can be right, but consider that when Joe searches the door for traps, he doesn't find any (he is sure there is none) then he goes take a look at the upper part of the door, that is when he hits the trap pressure plate, it is sprung. You can always consider what you said to be true but as I...

    Search and taking 20: the problem

    Traps? take 20 to find traps? Sorry... if there are any you will find it, when it is sprung... take 20 considers that you fail your tests, so if there is a trap it is sprung... bad luck on you huh! And on time. yes, it takes a hell long to search everything, try a 20ft square room, now add...

    Monte on covers

    Hey, and how about the actual material used in the cover? I think none is as durable as 2nd edition's complete books, I had one atacked by a dog once, a friends was with it, the cover got some damage, the inside pages suffered nothing, except for the first page, the one with credits and the...

    Unearthed Arcana 3.5....where besides Kazaa?

    Yes, that is true, as the actual amount of money they would be willing tpo pay would vary a lot, I rarely get pdf products myself but if I would download it from Kazaa for use and it was available for U$5, then I would go and pay for it, that is a price I can pay anyway, and it supports authors...

    Unearthed Arcana 3.5....where besides Kazaa?

    Here in Brazil they would, else they would be creating a very problematic standard that they could not keep for long and still have a legal security in the system itself... The creators are not criminals, much like the weapon makeers aren't, that scientists can't be blamed for the atomic bomb...

    Unearthed Arcana 3.5....where besides Kazaa?

    Kenji shows some quite good law knowledge, not the legal stuff and text in itself but the very thing that make any law legitimate in the first case, I totally agree, if there is a law forbidding something that is common practice it is certainly not a law anymore, only rigid and dogmatic people...

    Unearthed Arcana 3.5....where besides Kazaa?

    Just to add something, who here uses a legal copy of Windows, office and every single porgra installed in your machine? Because I certainly don't... in fact I think I have never bought a Microsoft program and never bought programs from many computing companies there... On the P2P, sure it needs...

    Non-Magical Ranger and Bard class variants

    There is a non spellcasting bard in Dark Sun fansite athats.org, although it has some poison focus that might drop the feel of it for some people.
