    Monster Manual 2: How long before the pirated copy appears?

    On 4chan somebody was already busy scanning the MM about a week ago. I saw a few hastily (and poorly) done pages as evidence that he was really doing it, showing some dragons and other beasties. So frankly I'm surprised it's not all over the web already.

    Planescape was Handholding. Forked from Plane Next Door/

    Well... yes and no. Y'see, the "weakness" of the Lady is only hinted at. It can be used to alter the city Sigil drastically, and maybe it can kill the Lady herself too. But the Lady stops this bad event from happening every time without fail, and the adventure even says she can do so "without...

    Planescape was Handholding. Forked from Plane Next Door/

    Oh dear, you misunderstood me. I wasn't saying it for the sake of Mustrum or my "projected issues", but for your own sake. You were making yourself look ridiculous with that post, and now again by so totally overreacting. Projected issues? Really? Do you really think you're such a great...

    Planescape was Handholding. Forked from Plane Next Door/

    Dude, go a little easy on the throttle. Not every statement the guy makes is an attack on your position, nor is every statement he makes a position you need to attack in order to keep your cred up. You are very obviously missing the bat here. I see you are unfamiliar with the Oberoni Principle...

    MM2 art gallery- AWESOME!

    I for one love the gnome picture. The guy is a bit too "rawr" but the female's look in her eyes clearly says that she's not funny, she hasn't got a lair or a badger, and she's going to royally :):):):) you up now. And all that without abandoning the gnome look or resorting to chainmail bikini.

    MM II Identity Parade

    It was not an example to be taken literally. I don't have the Realms books either so I wouldn't know what they say about sphinxes. I do know the 3e Eberron books included details about many critters, often with wildly different fluff than is default assumed (e.g. drow, dragons, all aberrations)...

    Pathfinder 1E Elephant in the room/thread Forked Thread: Pathfinder - sell me

    Ah, but then you haven't actually done as I asked. I asked you to think very carefully about what 'rogue' means. And 'rogue' means something utterly antithetical to a member of a team that in unison ventures out and has to trust their lives with eachother. The word 'rogue' can't apply to a...

    MM II Identity Parade

    I like fluff in the critter compendium, provided it's limited to setting-specific books. I like the Monsternomicon books for the Iron Kingdoms campaign setting, for example. As they're part of an established setting they're an important facet in fleshing it out. But default D&D only has an...

    Pathfinder 1E Elephant in the room/thread Forked Thread: Pathfinder - sell me

    God, the "Mr Shouty Man" argument again? Didn't we bury that even before 4e was released? In a Sell Me On Pathfinder thread no less? And what's the problem exactly? Think carefully about what the words 'rogue' and 'warlock' mean, and contrast it to how D&D uses them. How come they get a pass...

    Forked Thread: Hybrid classes (4e playtest)

    No need to gå agurk, Jack.

    Forked Thread: Hybrid classes (4e playtest)

    Uh, no. You must spend a feat to multiclass, which gives you one skill and one diluted power. This is generally considered one of the more useful ways to spend a feat. However, it's just dabbling at this level. The fighter is not suddenly a fantastic spellcaster, he just has the Arcana skill and...

    Pathfinder 1E Interview with PATHFINDER lead designer Jason Bulmahn

    Honestly, not all that much. It started with some of Bulmahn's preferences and history, which isn't very interesting for me to read about. The latter half was about some things in Pathfinder, but I got the feeling I already knew most of that stuff. And I don't follow PF news all that closely...

    So, after the Green Ronin announcement, I am...

    Chris, now that we have you here, a lot of the nay-sayers are wondering the following: Will Green Ronin's Dragon Age ttRPG offer more than just another medieval fantasy world? This is what worries most of us, me included. The BioWare website stresses things that are a given in tabletop games...

    New player asking for some advice/help, please. 3e vs 4e. Which one is for me?

    Don't you think you're misrepresenting my position just a little? I'm not talking about knowing how attack rolls are made, I'm talking about knowing that the maximum range of Insect Plague cast by a 13th level cleric is 920'. And I stress that I talk about KNOWING that. Looking it up or making...

    Awesome: Shroudborn multiclass

    Isn't that pretty much identical to the Orbs of Sequestered Conflict, from AV2 and previewed in Dragon 370?

    MM2: Bebilith, low damage?

    That is my thought as well. Danger Sense looks a lot like Tiamat's "Quintuple Actions" ability, which specifies that each head has a standard and a minor action. Possibly a typo in the copy-paste-edit?

    MM2: Bebilith, low damage?

    I don't understand why Flaming Web is a minor action. Its Danger Sense ability clearly states that it has two turns, but on each turn it only has a standard action. So using its "minor" action requires it to give up its standard, which seems contrary to the point of minor actions. tl;dr If...

    New player asking for some advice/help, please. 3e vs 4e. Which one is for me?

    Well then we'll have to agree to disagree, because I think that's utter nonsense. Note that I said that you'd have to look up a lot unless "you know by heart what exactly" they do. Do you know exactly what each spell in the PHB does? Including the exact range, area, duration, special limits, and...
