Oft forgotten rule. Like the one that a person wearing both a ring of protection and any other protective item (armor, amulet of natural armor) is constantly surrounded by a faint distortion of the air.

Of course. Clerics: Now color-coded for your convenience.

Radiant is not just from good. It comes from clerics and paladins, neither of which have to be good. So your cleric of Pelor may use a holy white light, while a cleric of Asmodeus may use a corrupt, red light, and a cleric of Bane a baleful green light.

I think we should compare the current stats of the angel of valor with the angel of valor from Dungeons of Dread. Don't have time right now to transcribe both stat blocks, but from a quick skim it looks like nearly every stat is different in small ways. A major change is the HP, going from 57 to...

Favorite use for a dull grey ioun stone: Paint it yellow, with a smiley face. Ignore its existence. Ask anyone who comments if they need to lie down.

Darn! Thought for once I had a scoop. Oh well, probably deserves its own thread. I like how despite all the white space and the massive chapter opening artwork, it still manages to pack in a lot of info. Compare the amount of info we have about the Ranger in 1/2 page compared to the same amount...

Don't know if this is old news or not, but it's news to me: someone managed to sneak three photos of the PHB at the GAMA trade show. I find the middle one the most interesting. It shows just how short a Paragon Path is. No wonder they were able to fit 30+ into the PHB! Also, almost...

I've always preferred playing defenderish characters, and been SORELY disappointed with them. The appeal to me is the appeal of standing up at the front lines, toe to toe with the enemy, no backing down. It's a knock down drag out, either him or me. Also a bit of "YOU. SHALL NOT! PASS!"

I can attest that it is. In my playtest, through judicious use of this (combined with an unnaturally bad rolling streak on my part), the halfling was immune to damage. Also, I have to hand it to the player. His usage of it was in such a way that it annoyed me and caused me to make mistakes. I...

The difference is that this time the additional races, classes, etc. are being planned from the beginning. PHB1 is being written with PHB2 in mind, and likely PHB2 will be written with PHB3 in mind. This is being done so that fewer toes are stepped on and niches are preserved. For example...

At least one of the G's is probably goliath. They have the best traction out of all the Races Of... series. Dromites have a certain charisma to them, I could see them being the D. The H is either a half-something or a new race. The S...I'm going to be different and say Snakemen, unless Yuan-Ti...

remember that martial is "not entirely non-magical." It's a world permeated with magic, it stands to reason martial characters would at least be acquainted with it. The feat just means they know how to use it in rituals. As for which ones seem most useful to a martial character...probably all...

Orange Juice Can Syndrome, at least that's what I call it. There's a part of your brain that tells you how long things should take. It starts blaring klaxons if something is going to slow. It also resets itself when exposed to a faster way to do the same task. A good metaphor is an orange...

Can it? Can it really now?

I'm surprised no one has commented on the Acid Wave power. My first thought was "don't cast the brown acid wave." Dude...far out man...

You like kittens burst? O_o

I found it on teh wiki. It's a misspelling of "kensei," meaning roughly Swordsaint (though other possible translations include Fist Saint, Sacred Fist, etc). Often the founders of a dojo, generally considered a fighter of great skill and purity who devotes their life to perfecting their art. And...

Remote control. Where's my $5? Edit: Ninja'd!

Shoop da whoop!

Give it time. If it becomes common enough usage, it becomes English. Betcha didn't know that the word "honcho" comes from Japanese, being so intimately associated with westerns. Or the word "skosh," being stereotypically yiddish. But that's a debate for another day. It seems like the Martial...
