Not to start a he-said/she-said but I've heard this before and am of the opinion that this is a mistaken belief, due to part of a name of an ingredient, that has taken on the life of an internet urban legend. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/eraser.asp I just figure, in the interest of...

I'd really like to see the opinion of an open-minded person who sat down at 5th level, got or put together a Legacy item, and played through five or six levels of actual weekly gameplay with it. And hated it, and was willing to talk about his time at the table playing with the item and why he...

IIRC, that spell IS errata'd. They switched the levels on it and Shadow Word ... Nausea or something? A 4th level spell. Look through there for a 4th level spell you'd never think of casting. That one should have been 1st level. SWP is supposed to be 4th level ... where it goes from being...

This is powergaming, nor are we in it. :) Personally, I think the "encouragement to powergaming" could also be called ... "having options". Previously, honestly, earlier versions probably encouraged more "bad behavior" about stats than this edition primarily BECAUSE there were fewer options...

That rocked. Seriously. Well played, clerks ... well played. --fje

Nice. Very quality. Now I've gotta go get my gun and force the Birmingham crew to play Dark*Matter. --fje

Another addendum ... I do think that some of the provided WoL are ... subpar. Design-wise. They actually serve to HEIGHTEN the gag-factor for players because, as shown, they'll do something like ... give a +1 Resistance to saves ... then give a -1 to saves ... which just says: "I'm churning...

For real-world (as opposed to On Paper) gaming, I've been considering the Oversized TWF to go with double longswords ... Why? Because you find an awful lot of magical longswords in dungeons. Especially published modules. Not so much the spiked chain or double-bladed sword or light pick...

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to the rescue! It'll take hard work and elbow grease and probably most of an eraser ... but they're like fifty cents, so, worth it. I was careful around the grid lines when I erased my stain, but I'm honestly not sure if the eraser would pick it up. Acetone will also...

Well you said in your original post you just wanted to get him moving so as not to be left behind, "even if he can't to melee" (sic). :) That's what I was showing would be right there within the rules, without spells or magic or anything else. --fje

Well, I don't have Sidewinder, but I imagine that under their OGL the feats are OGC. Pretty much most/all are. So check your copy. If they are, indeed, OGC ... then you're free to reuse them in your own product ... which could be a PDF to be dissiminated for free to your players. No theft...

Well I think the idea is the cruicible of adventuring increases life experience by leaps and bounds ... while not adventuring ... doesn't. So thousand-year-old elves that sit at home end up Commoner 20. Or something. :) Generally, I do whatever I feel like I need to do to explain things...

A character with 0 Strength is not dead, merely helpless. If he's in bed, he's probably not going to die unless somebody kills him. Additionally he'll return to 1 strength after a day, doing whatever. Next morning, he's got 1Str. If he's doing nothing but bed rest (and a guy helpless in bed...

The book isn't perfect, sure. But it's a full hardbound book that was professionally put together that covers ground that, until that point, had mostly been covered by feats, articles in Dragon, or part of a chapter in a book devoted to other things. I think it's ahead of what's come before...

I'm liking the new leveling speed from the player end of things. We're in one of the adventure paths, AoW, 1-20th. People were in a mood for some D&D. But we're also the kind of group where everybody there wants to GM, and wants to GM something different ... every day. Right now I, myself...

Dodge Bonus works against only one person, but stacks with other dodge bonuses and all other bonuses, but is lost flat footed. If that armor bonus, as you say, stacks with your bonus from armor ... it then applies to all attackers all the time other than touch. Just the "all attackers" or "one...

I'm playing a Barbarian 1, Cleric 12 with the Destruction and Strength domains. I have the feats: Extra Rage, Extra Smite, Divine Vigor (among others) We are adhering as closely as possible to the PHB wealth guidelines, but we're in an Age Of Worms campaign so sometimes we're low and...

Certainly. That's what I maintain. It's opinion, not fact, that the penalties "suck" or that it requires an investiture of feats to "make it any good". People hold out that the penalties have kept them/their players/their mother from ever having actually played in a normal every-day game with...

I always rule that part where it says "as if the creature’s size had increased by one category" to then cause subsequent checks for die increase from Monk levels to check "as if the creature’s size had increased by one category". YMMV, but once I've established it works I'm not going to be a...

Not very telling at all. Those bonuses are mine, from spells, and most of them have redundant back-ups in the form of feats and class abilities. :) My attack bonus is X ... then I enter Barbarian Rage, it increases. I leave Rage, it decreases below where it started. I cast Bull's Strength...
