    Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand? (Off Topic)

    *nod* That's what I was trying to convey. I guess my result made it seem like they had little control over either, instead of decent control of both.

    Cosmopolitan - did this change in PGtF and how?

    Yes, the region list is expanded a little bit I believe. It now only grants +2 bonus to Bluff, Gather Info, and Sense Motive. No more free class skill.

    Expanded PsiHB Excerpts

    Remember in DS you rolled 5d4 for stats instead of 3d6, which is part of it. Half-Giants had a +4 Str modifier before however, and they had a rather annoying roleplaying balance mechanic (beyond being in Dark Sun). Potentially having to change their alignment at least once a week. It doesn't...

    Expanded PsiHB Excerpts

    The Rudey is in fact, a Dragon-only class. And I think the Char-Sheet page lists all the base classes (including all the Psionic Specialists).

    Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand? (Off Topic)

    Not actually the secret power behind the Sabbat. Simply another power organization whose influence in the sabbat is almost entirely the 'False Hand'. They have as much direct (and indirect) control over the Camarilla as they do the Sabbat. Not quite, they had ghoulish mages who were sorta...

    Retroactie Effective Spellcaster Level? [UA Paragon Classes]

    Well, it looks like by the letter, it prohibits retroactive application. So I got another thing to drop into my House Rules document, since I kinda dislike most class situations where "Order of Acquisition" is a significant effect on the end product.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 revisions caused by prestige classes?

    Which kinda defeats the purpose of this discussion then. As all 3.0 books are considered 3.0-compatible. At least that's what I recall during the hype before release from WotC. Effects/features with duplictious names are also kinda irrelevant, as they exist even with the smaller "Explicitly...

    The deadliest CR 18 in the world, courtesy of WotC

    Erm, well the quickened silence I believe wasn't [Gah typo fix to reaffirm meaning] explicitly being readied, just 'available as an option'. Although the ability to employ a Free Action/Quickened Spell Out of Turn is probably in question. Enlarging whiel in a forge cage, hmm I'm not sure how...

    Revision Reviews

    Hmm, I'd say review the product as if it existed on its own for terms of a 'point result'. And include comments regarding it's value as an update. At least, unless the book it was just an 'update book', like the D&D Update Booklet at Wizards.com. I don't know of anyone who has released...

    Expanded PsiHB Excerpts

    1) Non-Psionic Thri-Kreen hada +1 LA (ECL 3) and a Psionic Thri-Kreen had a LA of +3 (ECL 5). So in fact, their LA went down it appears, most likly in part due to no longer having Combat Modes (mediocre) and possbily losing some of hte PLAs (possibly Lesser Metaphysical Weapon if I had to...

    D&D 3.x Incorporeal vs Blindsight (3.5)

    Hmm, unless they are [Force] descriptor vibrations, I'd say it'd fail completely (they'll just pass right on through the incorpreal creature being my justification). In fact, the only ones that I think would even be typically able to 'work' would be Dragon-Sense and other magical forms of...

    D&D 3.x Incorporeal vs Blindsight (3.5)

    Heh actually it unforunately doesn't make it easier. As each blindsight instance requires a specific definition of the nature of the blindsight :( (which is why I asked about the spell). Lemme look up the spell though and consider that one at least. Well the spell is fairly generic and...

    D&D 3.x Incorporeal vs Blindsight (3.5)

    Erm, not sure. But a quick question before I answer, where is this Blindsight spell?

    D&D 3.x 3.5 revisions caused by prestige classes?

    Slight problem here is that BoVD is actually a 3.0 book, and unforunately so, one that isn't addressed by the 3.5 Update Booklet. Hmm going to check the larger update document. Further, the extrapolation that it works 'without adjustment' in 3.5 is a bit question, as the description of Iron...

    Retroactie Effective Spellcaster Level? [UA Paragon Classes]

    Considering the UA paragon classes that provide effective spellcaster levels for certain races/class combinations. Something I considered/thought about. I know if you don't have the appropiate level when you (first/initially) gain the benefit, it is of no effect. But what if you take a level...

    Skill/Save "Take Character Level" House Rule Concept

    JimAde responded why :). Under stress isn't normally possible for Take 10 except for Skill Mastery benefits. I can see it working if you're in a "High Powered" Skill-focused game, just expect needing more than 'some' adjustment to account for some of the more troubling 'take 10 under stress'...

    The choice to be raised from the dead

    Well, that justification is a bit more difficult for folks who may go to Ysgard, or any of hte more 'eternal battlefield' places. Ysgard is alot better to adventure in than the Prime, what with the "Everyone gets True Resurrected after a day of being killed" thing.

    Special quarterstaves?

    DM perogative. I personally see MW Q-Staves as metal-enhanced (Generally).

    The choice to be raised from the dead

    Depends on their alignment I think. So you get a nice parity going on. Evil folks tend to want to return to life to escape the hell (especially as they typically start at the bottom of the food chain in the Lower Planes). Good folks will most often want to return to life to fulfill some...

    Mad Mad House

    Still watching. Don is coming off more and more as a poseur as it progresses to me, so I don't know what to think. Next week should be interesting for that at least. It's entertaining to see some of the 'plotting' going on amongst the guests at least.
