The boots got both cheaper and less effective. Which makes sense. Unless your combats have no kind of tactics at all, a 10' increase in speed is a considerable edge. But if your combats do have tactics, an increase of double normal is way too much. I've been there and used them to ridiculous...

I can't see why anybody would want to develop such an item. If you have an item that can block 3 crits a day (or 200 fire damage, whatever), why would you want to share it with somebody else? It would be better to make another such item for that person, so you both are protected 3 times a day...

*nod* You can add me to the fanatics of Midnight rallying under Ashrem's banner. Even though I can't stand Tolkien's work (I know, a fantasy gamer disliking him is blasphemy), I love Midnight. There's no doubt where they got their inspiration from, but they did some good work with it. Despite...

601 Immovable Rod (Relative to its absolute position, not that of the rotating/orbiting planet, so it'll zoom off at dozens of thousands of miles an hour and rip your arm off. The sonic boom is also quite impressive.) Hmm, too wordy? edit: numbering

2 points? Did you never use bucklers or small shields? And in AD&D2 shields only added 1 point. Are you refering to some really archaic edition I am not familiar with? Why would they waste pages on something that is of no use to new players? Isn't there a conversion manual that covers your...

1: 5 players, though 4 or 6 can also work out. Strangely enough, my current Exalted chronicle (which has the potential to become my best game yet) seems to work best when only 3 out of 4 players are there. Time to change my standards? 2: In an ideal world? Never, because I'd really be out there...

As a Tiny creature, the halfling can enter a square occupied by a hostile creature. He provokes an AoO for doing so. Alternatively, he can choose to overrun the wasp, but still suffers an AoO from the wasp. I'd like to note that the wasp should be size Fine (no wasps are as big as toads, I...

If the races are more distanced from eachother than in vanilla D&D it's fine. Mountain dwarves, for instance, will find it harder to adventure with humans in the surface world. But if mountain dwarves are supposed to stay in their mountains and be all exotic and alien like, no problem.

Fight in a 5' corrider, and then try to do that sidestep... I think the rule is set up this way for flavor mostly. I don't see any reason why this should be seen as a bad thing.

Q: what about spells? Do "generic damage" spells (fireball, lightning bolt, etc.) give special penalties like critical hits? What about spells which can also deliver critical hits (shocking grasp, enervation, etc.)? Remind me to never take a critical hit Disintegrate to the face when...

1: Cleric Unstoppable. They can heal, they can destroy, they can wear armor, they can fight better than fighters. While some Sultan of Smack might be able to out-perform him in any given area (but I doubt it), nobody can match the sum of the parts. 2: Wizard Spells, spells, spells. With these...

1: I have 3 groups. One group has 7 people, though we usually game with 5 or 6 of them at a time. The other has 6. The last has 4. (There is some overlap between the groups.) 2: I do not currently DM any D&D campaigns, though I do GM 2 other kinds of RPGs. (Alternity and Exalted) 3: There are...

Very true, deafening is 'teh wimpy'. However, it has the longest duration, and sonic is already very strong because almost nothing is immune to sonic energy damage. If the almighty sonic attack was given a seriously debilitating power (like sickened due to internal vibrations for example)...

Not bad, I like the general concepts, Anabstercorian. But I'd do it a bit differently. Polar Ray: Damage as normal, plus (if any damage is taken from the cold) Fortitude save or be effectively blinded by snow and ice for 1d3 rounds. Volcanic Ray: Damage as normal, plus (if any damage is taken...

Is this due to some firewall or due to the settings of the browser? If it is the latter, you should be able to fix this by going to: Extra > Internet Options > Advanced > And then toggle on the "display images" thingy. Uhh, not that I condone messing with the company's computers or anything...

Planescape D20 would be awesome, but I doubt it. They would not throw such a big fuss about it, since a lot of their gothy hardcore fans don't like the D20 system. "Their hate of d02 know no limit", so to speak. It is more likely some kind of during & after Gehenna/Apocalypse/etc book.

Genshou I like that VP/WP thing you've got there. I was already planning to start a 3.5 Midnight campaign with VP/WP incorporated. How do handle regeneration and fast healing? By their sound, they should only cure WP. Should there be a new category of "rejuvenation" that rapidly restores VP also?

"Will you kids just shut up?! Some people have to work in the morning!" Showing off your deodorant won't win you any friends, no matter how fresh it smells. Archeologists have discovered that prehistoric gamers also stacked up their D6s into dangerously wobbly towers when they got...

Nice picture, and it is definately "blast from the past". More D&D than D&D is right now. Personally I prefer the new style though. Monks doing a sonic boom whenever they run, wizards calling down hellfire, and all that with hyper-realistic looks? Nah, a little more stylistic goes better with...

A computer analysis on what Micheal Jackson would have looked like today, had he not received plastic surgery. PLUS Only now Harry Potter realizes that hunting demons for "phat lewt and xp!" was something best left to grown-ups. AND ONE MORE Guinness Book of Records: most blatant...
