    Misspelling rogue as rouge - enlighten me

    I don't know; it doesn't bother me much. What I get irritated at is seeing the word "lose" misspelled as "loose." Whereas "rogue" is a relatively uncommon word, "lose" is very common. And it's not even anywhere near as complex as the they're/their/there or your/you're problems! I crumple up...

    Damage Resistance for Good and Evil

    What nameless said -- that rule only applies to creatures with DR magic or epic. I can't think of any balance issues in particular, since for most parties it's rare that they'd fight both good and evil outsiders. The main issue I see is the flavor issue -- is it alignment DR, and if not, what...

    Flying Races?

    Avariel (statted in Races of Faerun) can indeed fly, but it has LA +3. As Dr. Awkward said, the natural ability to fly is something that is considered to always grant LA. Races of the Wild looks like it's going to have a flying race (raptorans), but considering the goliath and illumian they're...

    Where do you shine?

    I like to think I'm good at making interesting NPCs (not always likable, but interesting), weaving characters into the campaign as a whole, and creating interesting plots. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at running interesting encounters too, when I put the effort into it. As far as what I'm...

    Another "real-world" choice: Pick one feat...

    Nymph's Kiss :D Oh, book limitation (and I'm not exalted, so I couldn't take that anyway). Then hmm, there's not much that's actually useful to me as a non-combatant and non-spellcaster. I suppose I'd go with Night Haunt too. Negotiator would also be cool, and maybe Endurance.

    Casting at less than full power

    To me it actually sounds rather clever. It requires that all in the spell's area of effect have energy resistance of the same type and that type being the same as the cast spell (which may require preperation), and for the lowered caster level to be efficient tactically as far as the enemies'...

    What's your screenname mean?

    I hadn't yet discovered D&D when I first came online in '97, but I had been a big fan of console RPGs for the previous few years. So, I took Crono from Chrono Trigger and Dekar from Lufia 2 (both SNES games) to come up with the nickname Crono & Dekar, which was later shortened to CronoDekar...

    Cave Druid?

    Maybe the Metal Master back in Dragon #311?

    3.5 or d20 Modern?

    I suppose it'd depend on how much you need the core books versus how much you want d20 Modern. There are plenty of SRDs online with most of the info from the core books (my favorite), so if you didn't need it that much or don't have any problems with printed pages, then you might be able to...

    Targets: One creature/level, no two of which can be more then 30ft. apart.

    For me, saying "x creatures no two of which can be farther than x feet" is actually easier to work with, because it doesn't require me to start having to set a center of effect and determine the oddly shaped area of effect (supposing a square grid map -- hexes are fine, but for various reasons I...

    Eberron: Where are the bodies stored in Sharn?

    What dravot said, plus on the map of Sharn on pg10 it's in the NE corner.

    Second prestige class for an Invisible Blade help

    If you wanted to free up some of those feats, the author of Invisible Blade (Sonofapreacherman) mentioned that he'd probably change the prereqs of Invisible Blade to Weapon Focus and Finesse, since the CW Invisible Blade doesn't focus on ranged attacks (the original version was ten levels and...

    if you could run or play in ANY campaign RIGHT now...

    While I'm always up for various styles, I'd probably most want to play (not DM) in an Eberron game now. I've got at least three PC ideas that would work well in the setting, and I want a chance to try them out. An intrigue-based campaign would be nice, but it's only necessary for the Sivis...

    What races do you allow in your Eberron campaign?

    Currently, one of the PCs in my Eberron campaign is an elan (XPH) and the other is a goliath (RoS). Modified the history and background a bit on them (goliaths IMC are from Mror Holds, so they don't have to worry about giants), but I think it's worked out well so far. Nobody really wanted to...

    The 7 wonders of the (homebrew) world

    From my old homebrew, which I ran a few years ago. Some of these are more wonderous than others, but these are the prominent locations that I can remember: Aligara - The Incarnation (the keeper of the Region of Dreams, similar thematically to Fillein et al. in Sepulcrave's world) saw the world...

    Morality in your D&D - b&w or gray?

    A little from column A, a little from column B. I certainly like campaigns with moral ambiguity, but sometimes I just want to smite the half-fiend lich that kills babies and puppies. As long as it's a good DM I don't mind either way, really.

    Teamwork Feats and Abilities???

    Others that come to mind... Summon Earth Elemental in Races of Faerun which can be used cooperatively, but unless you're using a whole bunch of svirfneblin that's probably not too useful. Cooperative Spell (T&B, republished in CA?) for spellcasters, but that one's really meh. S&F has Dual...

    Races of Destiny: Anyone got it?

    I'm not sure what fluff Races of Destiny gives, but does anyone else think it's odd that half-orcs get paladin as one of their racial substitution options? I mean, playing a half-orc paladin could be cool, but when I think of common themes for orcs I don't think of paladins. Ah well. And I'd...

    Anyone mind listing the online shops you know of that sell RPG products?

    I used to go with www.buy.com , but recently discovered www.overstock.com, which has D&D books at nice prices even with S&H if you have buying habits like be and buy your books en masse. ...though now that I price compare, it looks like www.amazon.com 's cheaper than I remember it. Used to be...

    What knowledge skills do you never use?

    We've always used Arcana and Religion most often with Nature and The Planes bringing in the rear -- the rest of them hardly get used at all. I'd probably take History, Local, Dungeoneering, and/or Nobility and Royality for a particular char concept or appropriate campaign, but I doubt I would...
