    Hordes of the Abyss.

    What would really suck is if FC2 has CR30-42 Arch Devils. THAT would make the FC line unforgivable...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    See post #414 4. DaDg along with PoF are the other two books in my "will never use it" trilogy.

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    1. "dumbing" down is a bad term. It implies that the only reason one would not use the ELH is because one was not smart enough. 2. Limiting your level advancement at 20 is completely reasonable as the ELH really kind of sucks. 3. My opinions of course.

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Well, I think it would be because of the plane. You could say that the demon lord is the manifestation of his layers of the abyss. I would say that demons know this, and thus they feel compelled to obey. I see it like the CR 23 Orcus or whatever is the interface where the layer/layers of the...

    The Return of Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    I disagree. After reading the original howard stories as printed by DEL REY, and then reading the First two books "Ill Met in Lankhmar" and "Lean Times in Lankhmar" the film Conan the Barbarian has more in common with Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser than REH's Conan. Largely the film is a seriously...

    I am very interested in the possession rules and if the shadow demon is present under a different more demony name...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    This is pretty easy. The thing I had in my mind was somthing where when a demon prince is deposed the deposer starts off as himself, but eventually turns into the demon prince he just deposed. The universe needs orcus, so the demon that just deposed orcus becomes orcus. At firs it looks like...

    Now could someone please answer my question about the SHADOWDEMON AND THE POSSESSION RULES? Thx.

    QFT. This is sigworthy, and will be added. And those who know me know I am not fickle with my sig.

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Possession, I want to know about the possession rules, Joe, you never covered that in your review. How does it work? Previous possession rules have been lame. Also, is there a shadow demon in there? I loved the sheer violence of the 3.0 shadowdemon, do we get new stats (and maybe a new...

    D&D 4E Is there a shift toward 4E in the community ?

    I think there is a point in a games run where the players start to figure out how things can be done better. in 3.0 we saw about 2 years before the flaws really started to be common knowledge. We got a revision to 3.5 in 03 and now we are approaching that point for 3.5. I would expect rules...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    TOC us Joe! Then we can get over the nerfing and see what other things are in there. I could care less about demon lord stats. The way I see it, demon lords are quasi divine. I would say divine rank 6. I would say (like for Orcus) that you have three incarnation variants of a demon lord -...

    D&D - historical or fantastic?

    My hate of the monk is mechanical, not historical.

    Sell me on...

    I would go with Conan, Spell Compendium, and Bards Gate before I went with PHBII. Of the three, Spell Compendium is the most useful. I don't play Conan, but Atlantean Edition is nice, so I would say it is a toss up between Conan and Bards Gate. So I think you would get the most use out of...

    Plane of Shadow -- does anyone use it?

    I plan on using the wilderlands concept of axeing the ethereal in favor of the shadow. Before I even read the wilderlands CS I never liked the ethereal. The way I would do it now: plane of shadow and the ethereal are the same place. Its where ghosts live and where you are when you are...

    Is your D&D campaign a game or a story?

    Is your D&D campaign a game or a story?

    ALL story ALL game. As it is a game that tells a story. The results of the game dictate the story. It is not good to assume that to have story you need to sacrifice game or vice versa. I tend to go with the Col's point of view on this, except I would modify it to say that the story is not a...
