Some people like to stick to the rules. I personally don't always, but I think it's important to know the rules, so that if and when you change them, you know that you're doing it. That may be, but 'object' and 'creature' as part of the game rules have specific meanings. Not actually a...

One thing you might do is draw by distance, but put the grid on by travel time. That way the 'squares' on the mountains are smaller, the 'squares' on the roads are long and thin, etc.

It targets an object, not a creature. However, you could have used mage hand on something glass, ceramic, or stone to scoop up the slime and carry it. J

This is the only one of the three I've actually played, but it's so big (and openended) it's almost overwhelming. One of the very few games were you can completely ignore the main plot, play for months, and still not run out of things to do. J

Not what you said, but how you said it. While the internet is imperfect for conveying tone, it's difficult to read "you're probably seething with insistence that you're a unique individual" as anything but insulting. So you're cutting them slack on the art and layout, right? ;) You have...

Yep. Most players hate to waste an action, and readying to counterspell has too big a risk of that happening - the guy might cast a spell you don't have. You might blow your spell identification roll. He might cast a spell that you don't want to waste one of your own spells to counter. He...

Jump in the air. Everyone knows that explosions can't harm you if you're airborne when they go off.

Even then, this feat becomes useless once you get enough tumble to ignore AoOs even on a '1' - your addition just makes that happen two levels earlier. Perhaps a better solution is to use one of the Tumble variants that makes it an opposed roll vs. the opponent's attack roll. This doesn't...

I eagerly await the metagame expansion that allows you to also play Joel (or Mike) and the 'bots, gaining XP for making comments and cracking jokes about the game.

I think that's what I remebered! Thanks! I kept looking through Quint Druid at the store and not seeing it... J

I thought it fit just fine with the whole Warhammer 40K vibe I got. But then again, I may have gotten that by conflating Necromongers with Necromunda. J

I'll check those out, but I'm pretty sure it was a variant core class, not a prestige. Thanks!

The sound you just heard is the joke sailing over your head on its way to parts unknown. J

Don't forget spells with material components like "500gp worth of diamond dust". J

Somewhere, I seem to recall seeing a druid variant focused on caves, earth, and/or the Underdark. I mentioned this to a player who was considering playing a druid but hesitating because of a heavily urban/dungeon-focused campaign. He is intrigued and wishes to know more, but now I can't find...

Yeah. Same with that Herbert guy. I mean come on, Dune? For a desert planet? Laaaaaame. And whoever called this state 'Pennsylvania'...Penns' Woods, there's a lot of woods, yeah, yeah, we get it, especially when we have to rake all the leaves. ;) In some ways, it makes a lot more sense than...

Still got an hour and 15 until I head to the maternal unit's place, so...here I is. J

For the name, I think "lorethief" flows better. That said, I've got to agree - compare this guy to the bard. He's got better spellcasting (including some non-arcane spells), as many skill points, almost as good a class skill list, bardic knowledge, and a host of special abilities. Not only...

Plus, the mentor figure has to be removed from the picture for the hero to achieve his full potential. J

You can turn down the attitude if you want to have a reasonable discussion. Thanks. J
