Generally the (1) lose level, (2) gain XP sequence is more advantageous to the PC. On average you'd prefer to lose half the XP from a lower, less-XP level than a higher one. That is true only half of the time. Specifically, when you are in the bottom half of the level. Consider character A...

The quelzarn is a giant (up to 60', but usually 30'-40') water snake. They can cast hold monster (range 60') once per turn (10 minutes). This is how they pluck sailors off of ships. Immune to electrical attacks with 40% magic resistance. Hit dice varies from 5-10. 1 bite attack for 3d4 and...

Bump BTW, where is the link to the submission rules and forms again?

Go ahead and usethe Arcane Trickster. Change the requirements to: Access to the Trickery domain and divine spells of 3rd level or higher, but keep the other requirements. Change to a medium BAB and a good fort save and you're good to go. Given how divine spells compare to arcane spells it...

There would be no charge action. Instead, PCs would walk toward thier target in slow motion, the wind causing thier cloak/robe/trenchcoat to billow out behind them. As they calmly stride towards the enemy they would casually use one hand to draw thier weapon (even if it was out before) and the...

I'm glad to hear that people did take advantage of that, but I never did get that ($4 or so) credit from Amazon. It's enough to make me want to support my FLGS.

No. You only get one credit per book, regardless of the number of buddies who buy it off of your reference. You also have only 30 days to use your credits. I would also like to note that while I have always gotten the 10% for receiving the love, I have never gotten the credit for giving the...

I have signed up for all of the stuff that the RPGA ocassionally gives away. I still haven't gotten my copy of Fright at Tristor. Nor the free battlemat. Nor any of the player rewards cards. I really like the idea of the Fist of Emirkol. I doubt I'll see that either. And yes, I am bitter.

If you have the time, leave the magazine in your car, preferable in direct sunlight. The amount of time it takes depends upon where you live (southern, hot climates - like Tucson! are best), but eventually the glue will melt/disintegrate and you will be able to pull the sheets off one by one.

Not a character sheet but one of those 32 page booklets that lets you record just about everything about your character. There are several on the market: Green Ronin, Fast Foward Entertainment, Mongoose, and Mystic Eye Games. I was thinking about using them for my Living Arcanis characters...

I use the various levels of fear: Shaken: -2 moral penalty on attack rolls, saves, and checks Frightened: as shaken, but will flee until out of sight or hearing, or fight if unable to flee. Panicked: as shaken, plus will flee, or cower if unable to, plus a 50% chance to drop held items. A...

I just ran across this and I have to post my own similar story .. . It was, I think, in 1992. I was on my bed reading late at night, when I noticed that there were lots of things crawling on my arm, and on my lamp and on my bed. Looking more closely I realized that there were hundreds of...

If you're trying to build a bomb, there are easier ways of doing that. But your idea would work if you could get the magic and physics right. If you're trying to make an eight-pound ball, well, that would work too. What are you trying to do?

Yes it can. Two that come to mind are Star Trek the Animated Series and X-Men Evolution. (Although I wonder if the comic book sub-genre can be called science fiction. Oh, wait a minute -- The Flash, Wonder Woman, The Hulk, Superman, Batman, Mantis, Mutant X -- Yeah, those could all be science...

Has there been anything really new about drow in the past 10 years? In this book I expect to see: Prestige classes, maybe core classes, spells, magic items, and feats. You know, the usual. Plus stuff on the various drow houses. Plus stuff on that spider goddess of thiers. Maybe some new...

At least our Coke tastes better than yours. Bottled coke tastes like crap in the States for some reason. Canned is okay, but in bottles it tastes off somehow. I noticed this every time I travelled for a conference, and thought it was just me being strange so I smuggled in some Canadian...

Here it is: Quoted from Dragon 311, p10. Quibbling Somebodies I would like to take this opportunity to send all of you that are working on my favorite magazines a note telling you all to keep up the good work. It must be very difficult to work with the constant annoying buzz of Internet...

A real quick and dirty way to test this is to roll the die about 10 times for each side that it has. Roll the d20 about 200 times and the d6 about 60 times. Each number should come up 10 times but can vary from 5 to 15. If you get results exceeding that range you'll want to do a chi-square...

Please, please, please put in a chart (or something) indicating the appropriate Summon Monster spell for each of these guys. If you do, I promise to buy the book right away (instead of buying it later :)

[Anyone know what the average distance from Earth to Mars is usually, in the last 10 years or so? Just for comparison's sake. [/B] It actually varies a lot. Sometimes Earth and Mars are on the same side of the Sun (about 35 million miles) and sometimes they are on the opposite sides (220...
