There are some other huge changes that you haven't mentioned, such as adding 1/2 your character level to damage, and saving throws getting a 1 time class bonus (that can be exchanged for a better one if you multiclass or take a prestige class, but you don't add the class bonuses together), and...

Even then, though, the other 2 feats are better, since you get the +1 Ref AND either increase your unarmed damage or get +1 Fort and Will as well.

I just got it yesterday, and while some of the ideas are very interesting, the balance in some of the feats seems way off. For instance, compare these 3 feats: Improved Defenses, which has no pre-req and gives + 1 permanent bonus to each of your 3 saves: Ref, Fort, and Will. Martial Arts I...

Thanks for the advice. But in this case, the amount is simply not enough to be worth bring in a collection agent or attorney. We're not talking thousands (or even many hundreds) of dollars here. I have done work for many other companies in the past, such as Clockwork Golem Workshop, Eilfin...

I have sent the publisher a strongly worded email stating that this was my final attempt to contact them and try to get payment, and if no response is forthcoming (like my last 3 emails), then I would do my utmost to spread the word to both fellow freelancers and people considering buying their...

This is a great idea. For past work or any other work not initially generated through the system, I'd suggest the following: The publisher or artist can voluntarily submit a review, and the receiver can choose to have it posted or not. Now, that would pretty much rule out any negative...

Exactly... the amount is not a huge sum, and an hour or 2 of an attorney's time would consume most or all of it. At least in some cases we have "loser pays" here too, but it can be a gamble, because if they get a much better attorney and you happen to lose, you have to pay for their attorney as...

I wasn't sure if this thread was best suited for the art forum or the publisher forum, but here goes.... I'm a freelance artist, have been for many years. Until recently, every company I worked for paid me what they owed me. Sometimes the payments were very fast, other times they took a...

bump... Does no one have an answer, or maybe I should have started a new thread...?

Rather than start a new thread, I though I'd post my question here. I know it says "you can use an immediate action at any time", but just what does that mean in game terms? Say I'm a Psion able to manifest the Energy Adaptation power (which is augmentable to an Immediate Action) facing a...

About what percentage of the book would you say is entirely new, not reprinted from another source? And same question for the Spell Compendium.

2 weeks after the original post and my FLGS is still telling me the book is not available yet. He said it had only a limited release in the midwest, and that it was never sent to west coast distributers. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone on the west coast seen a copy in stores? Any idea...

I'm actually playing a Tinker/Techsmith gnome right now, and I love it! The lil guy is a bit insane (it helps with the inventing...) and drives the rest of the party nuts sometimes, but he's a blast to play and very useful to the party.

I voted "Not worth buying"... I play a spellcaster, but one with a limited and proscribed spell list (AEG's Tinker class). Plus I already have all of the books used as sources (but not the Dragon magazines), so I have 90% of the content already. Slightly more ease of use and some errata on...

Well, I hadn't bought oWoD in many years (Changling was pretty much the last book I got), but nWoD has got me back into it and buying books again, so it has worked for me... I like it.

Damage saves require some sort of "Hero Point" system to go with it. MnM heroes don't usually fall on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc failed save... they spend a Hero Point to reroll it. In 1e, the reroll cannot be below 10... any result under 10 is automatically raised to a 10. In 2e, any result...

There have been tons of cheesecake covers... I've even done a few myself. Figured I'd give the girls (and a certain few guys...) some beefcake in return. :)

Good review! I wanted to correct 2 points though... first, I (Tom Miskey) did none of the interior art. It was all clip art and characters taken from Mongoose's Fantasy Hero art collections. Second, I was not told the exact contents or characters that were included in UB when I did the...

Most of the new books are 32 fewer pages (160 instead of 192 for $30) ... that may be part of the reason why they seem thinner. I've become pickier now that there are fewer pages for the price, and if the print size is increasing too, that's even worse.

One thing to remember is that constructing a power in MnM is far easier and faster than Hero. There is no "Multiply for Active points, divide to find Real Cost". You simply figure out the price per rank, buy the ranks, and then add on the cost of any stunts. Done.
