    The Heroes of Icemist (SmallBeginnings 2)- Interlude update 2/21/2008!

    Are those the kind that come in sexy six-packs? Or is that more of a The St. Pauli Girl Does Dayton kind of thing?

    A question about swords

    This is what I was addressing with that bit about guantlets with no palm: That opening sentence colored my reading of the rest of your post. So when I saw the bit about the quillions, I kicked into "that's not right at all" mode even though I agreed with the last 75% of the post..

    A question about swords

    Some bits of misinformation in the above: Guantlets traditionally didn't protect the palm. The best you might hope for is thick leather the thickness of a modern leather work glove. Therefore, guantlets couldn't protect the fingers from a sharp edge. The sharpened point and business ends...

    Hoggoth and his hoary hosts, and all seeing Agamatto. ;)

    Names of pre-gens from Original D-series

    Did they change the pre-gens between the G series and the D series? Becasue I don't see Redmod Dumple or Frush O'Suggle in there...

    The Heroes of Icemist (SmallBeginnings 2)- Interlude update 2/21/2008!

    By the way, a lot of you might be long term enough readers to remember when my son was born. Well, taking a page from Rel's book about roleplaying for toddlers, my wife and I have begun helping him through his own little adventures before bedtime. So far they're very simple (sneak past the...

    spells you think are the wrong level

    I think you can make the arguement that about 50% of the spells in the PHB are lower level than they should be based on the (now) accepted rate of advancement. I also think that it's just this side of impossible to have a discussion about spell levels without talking about the advancement rate.

    Two-handed fighting (not TWF)

    I really don't think this is something that needs to be fixed with gear or build, but with tactics and appropriate use of PA. The greatsword fighter is already decked out with right feats (Weapon Focus, Specialization, and Improved Crit), his damage per hit is tons better, and his attack bonus...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    My guess is Dark Eye is another of the Emperor's Black-Goo assassins.

    Wolfgang Baur Re: Copper Bits and Gleaming Hoards

    I think his article steps over the "my way of gaming is better than yours" line the moment he calls plot coupons "lame."

    Who rules the githzerai?

    The guys over at Planewalker.com came up with one possibility for how it all went down. You'll likely end up doing a lot of reading on that site, as there's a lot to slog through, but it's got some juicy stuff. 'Course who knows what really happened.

    Two-handed fighting (not TWF)

    Power attack is one of the best feats around - after about 10th level. This is why: - Power attack is unaffected by an immunity to critical hits - Power attack only requires one hit to rack up the damage (not as dependent on full attacks) - Power attack multiplies on a critical hit - Two-handed...

    Lightly Armoured, Martial Q-staff Fighter Ideas

    Ditto. The free feats make it worth it. Go Ranger/Fighter 11/9 or 12/8 in order to get Greater Weapon Focus. Something to remember is that Q-Staffs are one of the more versatile weapons in the game. Shifting back and forth between a two-handed, power-attacking strike and a double weapon full...

    Advice on 9th level Monk doing 6d6 damage per strike...

    I think this is one of those instances where RAW isn't as useful as a quick judgement call. Personally, I'd nix the "Goliath = large for the purposes of unarmed strike, but allow everything else. However, since the benefit provided by the Fanged Ring is effectively the same as that provided by...
