+4 to checks to resist being disarmed, you can wield the weapon in a grapple without penalty and use it as normal, you can add +5 to all your attacks after the first when taking a full attack, you can take 10 on an attack roll once per round, and you gain a +1 AC bonus.

I use the Great Wheel cosmology as well. In addition, there are several events from past campaigns that have permanently affected the world. These are all pretty small, but they're there. For one thing, at the crossroads of Trade Way and the Delimbiyr Route south of Ardeep, there's been since...

I got my copy as well. I like the book. The feats are very good. Most of them are logical extensions of the feat chains presented in the Player's Handbook, and the high-level feats are quite welcome. I also like the spell selection. The base classes are solid. There's nothing mindblowingly...

Here we go again, the only instalment lost in the database crash. I endeavour to have another up soon, but I'm currently studying for the university entrance exams and most of my time is being taken up by English philology. I'll be soon starting up a Rogues' Gallery thread. The party's stats...

Best Moment in a Role-Playing Game: The three limp-wristed wizards in the party, all with serious Strength penalties duking it out unarmed, while mind-controlled by a fiend. I recall grappling and pinning the grey elf, but the high elf punched my lights out. Worst Moment in a Role-Playing Game...

I use Living adventures mainly as a source of inspiration and occasionally a place to lift stats from. I've occasionally pondered using some old RPGA modules in my home campaign when I don't have time to prepare anything more fitting, but haven't yet had a chance to do so. Besides, I have a...

Nothing directly gaming-related in my stockings. A DVD collection of Monty Python films is the closest that it gets. Then there are a couple of gifts that can be converted into gaming items in the proper place of business. I'm thinking Player's Guide to Eberron looks like a very good late...

Okay, admittedly not quite "within the week" as originally promised, but stuff got in the way. Christmas, real life, other gaming. I'd apologise, but it'd be insincere since I've got no regrets and a new girlfriend. Here's the next installment. I'll make no promises about the next one, but...

The current kill list for my Living Greyhawk character, Xaylen Ambedor (NG male human wizard 6/divine oracle of Boccob 1): Half-orcs: 3 Spider swarms: 3 Orcs: 11 Ogres: 1 Carrion crawlers: 1 Modrons: 1 Warriors: 6 Rat swarms: 1 Bullywugs: 13 Priests of Hextor: 1 Red Brothers: 1 (after all the...

China Miéville's Perdido Street Station, while otherwise very far from the traditional D&D fantasy, had some adventurer characters which were pretty much a direct reference to Dungeons & Dragons. I think it even mentioned they were in it for the gold and the experience. I haven't read it, but I...

As I recall, the MiniHB came out about a month or two after the 3.5 books. It was the first 3.5 accessory, unless I'm mistaken. I guess they still haven't found anywhere to reasonably reprint the marshal. I do not remember if the favoured soul or the warmage were given errata when they were...

The MiniHB is most definitely 3.5. From the back cover: "The Miniatures Handbook maximizes the impact the v.3.5 editions of the D&D core rulebooks and the D&D Miniatures line will have on your game." In addition, the marshal's class skill list has Survival. Edit: Also, you don't necessarily...

Marshal is 3.5, actually. Whoops, you're right about the bonus. Strange typo and bad maths. Incidentally, the cleric domains Mind and Community from Complete Divine both grant +2 to Diplomacy.

Skip the wizard level, take marshal instead. Skill Focus (Diplomacy) is a bonus feat at first level and you get the minor aura Motivate Charisma, which gives you a bonus equivalent to your Cha modifier to all Cha skill checks. The build I whipped up got a total of +49 at third level. If I used...

Uncompromising. That is my neutral good wizard/divine oracle of Boccob, who holds two allegiances above all: first, his deity, and second, the Principality of Naerie, his homeland. In the name of the latter, he, among other things, actively works against the chaotic good church of Trithereon.

Now going through Philip Athans' Annihilation, the fifth book of the War of the Spider Queen. I'm of two minds about the novel. On one hand, Athans' prose is sometimes jarringly bad and his combat descriptions overly gory and explicit. However, there's plot is strangely gripping and his action...

Most Used: The Complete series, since they're the first place people go looking for stuff outside the core books. For one thing, most prestige class picks come from there. After those, it'd be Player's Guide to Faerûn, since I mostly run FR and everyone has to at least check out what it says...

I started this campaign some three weeks ago, when only three people showed up for my seven-man Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play campaign. For the second week running. I drew some quick conclusions about this, drafted one new player immediately over IRC and then proceeded to improvise a lead-in to an...

Well, after watching that... The movie can suck. The acting may be wooden and the script can be a commitee-written, sanitised roll of toilet paper. But as long as they've got that music, those special effects, and that dual-wielding centaur who was fighting that minotaur, I'm going to be a...
