Basicly I find that many gamers have a case of kettle black syndrome when it comes to the behevior that they exhibit. Typically I find that many gamers hold on to their sectarian clique that they were forced into in junior high/high school. Generally they were forced into the social group...

Akrasia, Let me clean up what I am trying to say. You are right, the elves remained elves an the humans remained humans, he never actually made any changes. The thing I read, and I have no idea where it was, he stated that he wanted the elves to be higher beings but thought that "elves" were...

uhoh. (grabs shovel, starts digging out of trouble) I was refering to a letter that he wrote late in life where he stated he regretted tieing the mythology to legendary creatures because too many hippies had asked him about elves durring the 60's. (leonard nimoy probably did not help either)...

I do have a very good idea of what I am talking about. You simply are misunderstanding what I am saying. [Edit] That was just a really unclear sentence. I just realised that I missed a 'not' I have gone back and fixed it. In a letter in his later years Tolkein expressed regret at calling...

We know that the Lord of the Rings was intended as a sequel to the Hobbit. But while LotR requires the events of the Hobbit, the Hobbit does not require the sequal of LotR. And for that I am glad. In a way they could be two stories from two different worlds. I like the LotR. But I kind of...

Rowlings Potter novels have some clear D&Disms in the monsters. There are certain takes on the monsters that are not backed up by their mythological versions but have traits they did not normally possess until EGG made the changes in the first MM. At least thats what I see.

One thing that always drove me nuts was Tolkeins Ret Conning of his own work. For example, when he wrote the hobbit the elves were elves and not the same species as humans. But later he comes in and say "well I should have not used the word elf as they are simply higher humans...." or somthing...

No, not as written in the XPH. We throughly believe that the Sorcerer Class was created as a weird magic catch all, including psionics.

SC seems to railroad a little bit in the later parts, that is the challenges are linear. A.

An update to the Demonologist PrC (we sold our soul for rock and roll!) ORCUS ORCUS ORCUS (just has a better ring than hast...) 3.5 WotC Shadow Demon. I will be happy. What do you want in the fiendish codex I?

Necromancer (Abdul AlHazrad) (Black Cauldron) Demonologist (Faust)(Abdul AlHazrad)(demonic Pact)(Elric and Arioch) Evil Dude in Armor (Anti-Paladin)(Black Gaurd) These three just seem sort of staple to me. What does everyone else find to be stape?

Well of you think about it it is a great way to get a few extra points of Wiz, Cha and Int. Granted if you go the venerable route, you loose 6 in Str Dex and Con. Still, if you use the method of char gen that I use in my campaigns you could use the aging rules to rescue a character that is top...

Carl, do you know about charting by cannon? That is the crew fires a cannon and going by the echo can determine where land is, if it has trees or not etc just by listening to the echo. If you know about it, OUT WITH IT MAN!

You will be surprised at how much you can see at night just by starlight when there are no other lights nearby within miles. A lot of it was done that way. Light has traditionally been put through red glass, thus allowing for tasks that require a little more light like reading compass or...

HARDWARE Max Headroom

They give you everything you need to use the weapons without WoL. They explain when the abilities come into effect, how much the rituals cost, what the rituals are, the abilities of the weapons. You can still play it and not ever have to crack WoL.

Nope not resistant, I think it is just looking for simplicity and not over engineering things. The way this works is, you don't look at it as individual wealth, you look at it as party wealth, because when it comes down to it, those potion of healing and some of the cash move around the party...

Was just running around here and noticed that they have added the stuff from UA to this version of the SRD. http://www.d20srd.org/ I think that is very nice! Aaron.

Yeah, weren't these supposed to be tournament mods anyways? Wouln't that make them very difficult? I have the same peeve. Do it direct. Rules based balance only works for things like character abilities.

Slowed treasure aquisition actually makes sense as such a weapon as blackrazor would likely put the players on the move and attract all sorts of higher level attention! So the abiltity to hunt down and gain significant wealth would be hampered as the campaign becomes more of a "refugee" lifestyle.
