    FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

    Best answer to this problem I got was the one given in Defenders of the Faith. That other gods grant those spells and powers on behalf of the Arch-fiend. Although the 'Abstract Evil represented by the Archfiend' works nicely too. And yea, it's frustrating period. Given that they want to...

    None of them. You will need the FRCS to use the FRPG. And Faithes and Pantheons is not antiquated by FRPG. FRPG does update relevant (PLAYER) information (ie, spells, domains, etc) from Faiths & Pantheons. Silver March is effectively Untouched by the FRPG.

    To Psi or Not to Psi?

    Hmm, actually I suspect the opposite, with the Soulknife having the advantage of certain Power Buffs (possible combat boon), while being limited to effectively one weapon. But again, I do see the Soulknife most likly only getting 4 skill points/lvl (maybe 6).

    Military Themed Campaign Advice?

    I'm considering running a military/mission themed campaign soonish, and I'm just curious about others who have done so and their experiences. I've already gotten a suggestion in that writing up a Code of Conduct beforehand is a Good Idea. My world is a bit high magic, but in terms of actual...

    Keeping racial benefits when Feral?

    He should maintain his racial benefits as a template is applied. The implication is just that the Feral Dwarven groups also trained/etc to fight giants. Just so happens 'train' takes a looser meaner and may more likly refer to more barbaraic practice rather a regimented training formula (ie...

    [PGF] Spell Enhancer, Counterspell deterent?

    Hmm, after looking at this spell, it seems a bit odd. [ Sor/Wiz 4] The result is the next spell you cast be harder to resist. After you cast this spell, you can cast another in the same round (as if it had been quickened) at +2 caster level. Now some oddities. 1) It would effectively keep...

    3.5 Spellcasting Prodigy and Adjusting to new material

    Spellcasting prodigy only gives you the psuedo +2 for consideration of bonus spells. Mostly, consider it and decide if I want to use it or not. For revisions, if it affects the current game world, it won't come into effect until the next campaign.

    Another interesting change to the region system. At least I think it is. Every region now has Bonus Freebie equipment (like FRCS). However, it isn't restricted to class. You're also able to take a 100 gp option at any time.

    To Psi or Not to Psi?

    THe Psy Warrior outclassed the other warriors in the same way the Cleric did in 3.0. It remains to be seen how the revision affects it, but I suspect that the PsyWars one weakness will be largely diminished (Psi Combat was a liability). The only specialization niche that is solely the psions...

    FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

    I hate laptops, anyway. Human Ethnicities are about as addressed as they were in FRCS, with of course, more region data in the FRCS, so I'd imagine the Races of Faerun book to have more information/data. The Player's Guide works nicely as a big link between different WotC products and FR...

    No more anti-outsider. They lose Knowledge (the Planes) as a req, but retain it as a class skill. Rest is the same.

    FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

    Pretty much, although it may be closer to specialist priests than the spheres. I like the idea of the Initiate feats, but then, they are a bit more powerful than regular feats (Spell Knowledge + usually a Domain-grade ability), and stacking them on top of the arguably 'High end of the Balance...

    To Psi or Not to Psi?

    I seriously doubt that they will introduce any new significant 'role' to fill that couldn't already be filled by either a straight spellcaster or a multiclass spellcaster/other class type. Their added benefit is for the most part, just greater versatility in what they can do with their powers...

    FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

    They no longer can specialist benefits if they weren't a specialist before. Regardless of their prior specialist state, they must choose another restricted school. They get 1,4,7,and 10 bonus metamagic feats. 2nd, By making a DC 18 + [3xadjusted spell-level] spellcraft check, they can apply a...

    The Justicar gets a bunch of Smite Chaos type boons, full spell progression for a divine spellcasting class. Reqs 2nd level divine spellcasting. Spell Focus (Lawful spell) (Effectively). Maimed God's Boon: Add Cha bonus to all saves with the chaotic descriptor, and against spell-like + su...

    Warped Binding in the FR Player's Guide to Faerun?

    Suspected as much (for fixing). And it might just be my timing/perception, but it does seem like Wizards are getting a bit sloppier with the QC on the books? Or might just be that they're pushing out more hardcovers. I know my UA came with pages ripped :( (got that fixed nicely at least).

    And at 8th level, the Morninglord can at the start of the day, cast heal on themselves, cast Restoration (without component, or cost, single attribute), or remove any poisons or diseases... The restoration bit can possibly be applied to other party members as well. It does take an hour though...

    Not sure what I make of the changes to Incantatrix. Gets more free feats, and a bit more Meanie Potential (wresting control of a spell away). The cooperative metamagic mechanics also seem to result in ... well practically never being able to make use of it, to even heighten a cantrip, it...

    Stargate season finale

    They just aren't predisposed towards the idea of disposal weaponry I believe. I think it may just be the humans just design better weapons than the Asgard, except they don't have the tech backing for it.

    Warped Binding in the FR Player's Guide to Faerun?

    Got my copy of the Player's Guide yesterday, and every single copy that my FLGS got in had warped binding. Warped as in it looks like a magazine was stuck inside the covers for a few monthes before being shipped. Just kinda curious if other folks had similiar, or if my location/area was just...
