Hey, that might actually be a great idea! When you hit level 20, you start over again "rewriting" your lower levels as gestalt. With the addition of some choice epic feats, that might be a much more interesting system than the current epic rules. Hmm...

Hmm... And do you have an intrinsic problem with the comic dealing with "a textbook bad railroad plot enforced by a super-NPC"? I still think it could work out well, though my initial reaction to the latest comic was also not really a positive one.

Well, perhaps, but that's not really a fair critique of the comic. It was pretty much clear from the get-go that the DM in charge of this (literal) farce was semi-competent at best. The storyline is another matter, of course. I could potentially be okay with this development depending on...

Yep. The latest comic seems to support the "annoying DMPC" interpretation, if anything.

That makes sense. What's a good price per word, then? Maybe like 1/75 to 1/100 of a cent?

So what's a reasonable price per page for a pdf? For one that also exists in print (hardbound or perfect bound)? I'm kinda wondering this myself as I try to figure out why my book is priced the way it is ($10.95 for 165 pages, or ~6-7 cents per page). Some mention was made of a reluctance to...

Richard Garfield is the creator of Magic: the Gathering, which of course has five colors that amount to humors - they're elemental forces associated with certain bodily and emotional traits. See, that's an example of a joke that's just a bit too clever. Wish I had thought of it. :D By the...

Hola. Author here. I just wanted to say that I'll be around to answer any questions anyone might have. :)

Hurray! It's ready! :D You can check out the o-fficial press release right here. And thanks everyone who showed interest, lurkers and posters alike. It was good to get to talk about my work. I'll be heading over to the press release for the book proper now, so anyone who wants to ask me...

Why? One of the nice things about magical items is that they can, in theory, do anything at all. So you can put a gold piece price to anything, really - I don't see why permanent feats would be any different. You'd just make them too expensive to pick up really early without major sacrifice...

I wouldn't generally recommend it, though, as that'd be another -5 attack penalty on top of the tower shield's -2 all feeding off Rogue BAB. The nice thing about the tower shield, actually, is that it comes free with a Fighter level and does most of the work a Rogue wants Combat Expertise to...

You can also plow a bunch of points into Diplomacy and its slightly less useful relations, and make a social rogue. Plus, you could even use Int as your dump stat, since you aren't trying for the full Rogue skill package, so to speak.

Get yourself a tower shield. Sure, the armor check penalty is massive (-10), but a chain shirt plus tower shield is equal to full plate and doesn't decrease your speed or max Dex a bit. Plus, you can use the shield for total cover when you absolutely, positively need to not die right now...

No, I meant "Nah, you're not safe from being hoovered up into a dangerous world of sorcery and things with big pointy teeth by virtue of your asthma." :D Gah, you can eat those things?! I think I'd rather try my hand at untrained Survival checks to rustle up some kobold babies to eat.

Nah, you're not safe. You'd probably be mysteriously healed in the crossing-over. That's how these things work, you know. ;)

Jeans, a green T-Shirt, a wool pullover from the University of Edinburgh, and my fearsome boxer-briefs. That's it. I think I'd be in trouble. :uhoh: On the other hand, I have my books within easy reach, and I could see my various monster books coming in very handy. EDIT: Well, okay, I have...

Shadow Conjuration (and the rest of the chain) I love this spell. It's so useful from a mechanical standpoint, allowing you to pull out a trick of some sort for almost any situation. Anything that gives me that moment of panicked searching for options followed by a moment of glorious triumph...

Ah. Well, the default assumption is that it uses a decidedly fantastic (not real-world) physics, chemistry, etc. to which magic stands in opposition - only devices below a certain tech level are sufficiently resistant to magic to function normally. Technologists, for their parts, have to...

In not sure what magic you're referring to. Do you mean what explanation do I use for how and why the devices work?

Hmm, I thought RW was going to post here. Well, I'll tell you what he told me - the book's taking longer in layout than anticipated. I'm supposed to now say that it'll be done when it gets done, but rest assured I've been pestering RW on and off for the last several weeks about it. You know...
