Hello Mark, I was going to email you, but if you're reading this thread anyway... I only found out about your awesome site on this thread a few minutes ago. I've just started to look at the content, but one thing that struck me about the list of publishers is that I didn't see Green Ronin...

Yeah, as a person who falls into that 35+ category, I had the same thought when I read Spinachcat's post. :) But it's true, learning gets tougher as we get older. I've dabbled with 4e but it hasn't caught my imagination. I started playing in a campaign with KotS, but after two sessions I was...

I don't know about buffing, but if you're looking for a great skill-monkey then a factotum (from Dungeonscape) can be fun. At 12th level, assuming your Leadership score is high enough, you'd have a 10th level cohort. If your DM is kind enough to let you create your cohort character, then you...

Page 284 of the DMG in the description of mithral : "Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light." Only seems complicated if you're going spend too much time parsing words and thinking about it. I never even considered...

Hey there everyone, I was looking for a way to use a spell-like ability that has a range of touch at a distance. I looked at spectral hand, but that specifically only applies to spells, not SLAs. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I might accomplish this. I'm looking to get my...

One time, at band camp...these seniors were playing D&D and I was a curious freshmen. That was nearly 30 years ago, and D&D is still my favorite hobby. I generally think of other games as things I do to fill in time between D&D sessions. I love D&D! :)

Hey, you're right! In my excitement I forgot about that. I'm looking forward to reading Metamorphosis, too...

So I stumbled in from my game tonight and spied a package on the step. I picked it and checked out the return address...Lulu!!! :D I've only just begun to flip through and look at this amazing production, but my first impression is...well, impressed! I am impressed. :cool: Thanks to...

Actually the definition of blindsense references acute smell and hearing as examples of the types of nonvisual senses which make blindsense possible. It doesn't say "only", it says "such as". Bats using echolocation would avoid a wall of force, and I'd rule that dragons flying towards a wall...

Truly a thing of beauty. :) Not to be the sole selfish b*st*rd of the thread, but is there an ETA on when those pre-orders may be shipped? :) To all who made this happen, congratulations and thank you, keep up the awesome work!!

There's an interesting default assumption running through this discussion which is touched upon but not explicitly stated. That is that destroying an evil creature ultimately and unambiguously makes the world, on the whole, a better place. More "good". But I think that in a realistically run...

Yep, you're right, I'd forgotten that caveat. So what you'd need is something with an instantaneous duration, right? That way the effect would be "done" before the splice ends.

As I read through this strip I found myself recollecting the old Doctor Who (Tom Baker era) story arc, "Genesis of the Daleks". The Doctor is transported to Skaro as Davros is just creating the first of the Daleks, with the intended mission to stop him before he gets started. The Doctor...

I need to reply to this in two parts. I agree that the customization options of OGL makes it more difficult to standardize some of the basic experience of the game from group to group. If you employ some, most or all of the WotC products alone you're going to have a significantly divergent...

That's looking totally sweet! :) I was wondering, do you have any information on the type of binding that will be used?

Although it's not directly related to languages, if you're character is going to try to talk their way out of most situations, an eternal wand of glibness might be useful as well. (see MIC, p. 159)

Are you allowing the use of Complete Arcane? One "trick" that I like is the use of contingent spells. Especially with such powerful creatures as your aboleth savants, a contingent True Resurrection would be a nasty surprise for players, as well as making the baddies that much worse :] As far...

The answer is that I DON'T have the time, although I do task my cohort with the primary mission of crafting. I've actually begun doing some amount of research into planar knowledge to find a location with flowing time that runs much more quickly than the material plane, with the intention of...

Good point on the "guidelines", I did kind of overlook that. If you use the spell emulation rules and want to create an item that has a 20th level caster and a 9th level spell, and turns that spell (with a rounds/level duration) into a continuous item (so x4 factor for market price), then...

Hi, I'm running a warlock in a Shackled City game and he has the leadership feat and an artificer cohort. I've been starting to look at items I'd like to create at higher levels, like 15 or so, but I'm bumping into the 200,000 gp limit for epic items. Has anyone run a high level crafter in a...
