Oronis as said earlier, could give power to Paladins just as easily as other SKs give to Templars... He is one of the original champions and has since survived (well possibly not in the 300yr+ setting portrayed in Dragon), and at that, an Avangion. And he is disturbingly enough, Lawful Good...

I believe talents were removed because for the most part, they were other powers 'downsized', and it was deemed more appropiate to just use a single power and have augmentations handle the scaling issues. Also it is a small item of distinction between Psionics and Magic, while minor, it's...

Clarification, the Soul Knife BAB progression is in error (in that it misses the 3rd iterative attack for a range of levels 15 to 19, not in the actual BAB rate), and will be in the errata. R&D already posted as such to the Psi boards @ Wizards.

Interesting on the DK note, more proof that DK was a "Meta-plot" mechanics book, anycase :). By the letter, I don't believe so. It's a problem for paladins in any game where there's an evil/self-serving corrupt leader. Or where slavery is common/legal, and not a problem exclusive to Dark Sun...

It looks like some stores are breaking street (intentional or not :P), but anycase, some other links here http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=216851 http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=216734 Can find a quick cursory item of some of the changes to the Psion...

Well that's why I used the comic book reference, because the same bit happened there... Look at the artifically created "collectors" value items, higher production value copies, emblazened with the "limited edition" spiel on them and other such gimmicks most often specifically related to the...

Hmm, I had thought that the transformation spell is what bound the living vortice to the SK. Anycase, that still leaves Oronis as a possibity, unless he's dead in the time frame of the issue. Very true, and probably another source of 'discontent' is the lack of rules for Desert Madness. With...

In the same way 'limited edition' comic books were 'valuable to collectors' in the past. It's an artifical construct that usually collapses on itself. At least with leatherbound books, however, it tends to last alot longer, and be more fit to 'last the test of time'. With that said, I doubt...

Just some fun hypothetical answers. 1) Why not the Avangion? After all, the Dragon-Kings gave spells to Templars. 2) Well, the only ones I see violating the code are if they go the Lawful Stupid intepretation of it. Any first level paladin is going to die/fail their code of conduct if they...

I'm going to guess Greatly increased price (~50$) Leatherbound Authenticty Card [ add ] It's been my experience that the special editions are rarely anything more than just a better binding. Possibly with some bundled extras... Especially true of RPG products.

The Psi-Crystal seems to still exist. See the feat list... Kinda neat feat there that lets your Crystal hold Psi-Focus for you at least.

For the edit issue. Paizo may not be entirely to blame. I'm uncertain if Paizo/Dragon/Dungeon articles have to go through D&D R&D in the same manner as any website feature, but it would make sense (for the same reason they do it for the websites) given that it's considered offical wotc...

Not that I necessarily disagree with your post, but this part here intrigues me. What does Forgotten Realms take away? What does Greyhawk take away? And what did Planescape take away? From what I can tell, Eberron is more "adding" to the core assumptions (or more accurately, extrapolating...

300 years after the events of Prism Pentad, I can see Paladins about. Especially with the emergence of Free Cities. Making a non-spellcasting bard variant for DS may have been a 'better' idea, if not for the issue of space. Especially given that Defiling magic is detailed in another issue...

Racial feats still exist I believe. There's a text block covering over Stoneblood, Stonwalker Fist, and Swarmfighting (urdunnir dwarf, urdunnir dwarf, and wild dwarf) says that they're just feats available to any of the appropiate race. Not having Races of Faerun, I couldn't say specifically...

I think the flavor of Psionics in DS/2e is impossible to obtain in 3e without breaking balance significantly. Some of them specifically Powerful Wild Talents : It's just not 'good' balance to have significantly powerful Wild Talents. The upcoming Wild Talent feat may do well to 'emulate' the...

The comparison might be better off against a metallic however, as some of those points are simply distinctions between a Metallic and a Chromatic dragon [notable, the two breath weapons aspect]. Even with that, the Great Wyrm Steel looks alot more impressive than a Very Old Brass (CR 19). The...

Hmm, kinda curious now. If you ready an action to "disrupt a spellcaster" (ie, "If She Casts a Spell, "), can that readied action trigger if the 'target' is instead using a Spell-Like Ability, instead of Casting a Spell? I'm of the opinion that it does count, but I can see the other side...

Negative on that. Sun Elf, FRCS, +2 Int. No LA. It is possible though.

Not really Alertness, just another Primary Sensory Method.
