And? Hwyrrd's Herald is Neutral Good. Is your statement based off of something you knew about the basic plan for the Scarred Lands or simply that the Gray Man was Neutral Evil? Which, for me, doesn't matter too much, anyway. If the explanation for the change isn't provided, it shouldn't have...

You're kidding me. Even as of the last book they still insist on screwing around with the setting and making more contradictions? How very lame.

This really isn't any more then idle fancy on my part, but perhaps that in and of itself is a small glimmer of hope? As it might mean Wizards is at least considering doing something with their old settings if they're no longer contemplating licensing them out. Not that I necessarily think they...

Well, keep in mind the difficulty that promiscuity would bring to a female paladin. The male one would have to worry about neglecting children he may or may not even know about; on the other hand, the female paladin who winds up getting pregnant has a few other problems. Either the paladin needs...

Well, one thing I, at least, do, is if I'm interested in a few different books and one of my friends already owns one, I'll probably pick up a book that isn't already owned. Generally speaking. However, a few books are typically owned by most of my gaming friends. Core rule books obviously...

Don't suppose a review might be forthcoming in the near future? As I've long since had my trust to blind-buy from the Scarred Lands konked over the head with one bad book too many and the last book, while tempting, has done nothing to revive it. I'm sadly dreading giving it a read, though I've...

Suffice to say, this doesn't enthuse me much. Particularly since it at least sounds like reneging on that entire "The Faithful and the Forsaken was optional!" claptrap and seems to help confirm my opinion that it was only back-pedaling on Sword and Sorcery Studio's behalf after the backlash of...

Sadly, though, thus far, that's been lacking. Midnight has the fan-made Tome of Sorrows. Planescape has its own devoted fan-base and a great deal of fan-made material. Before Ravenloft was licensed out to White Wolf, the Kargatane created a good deal of setting material. Thus far, however, the...

Typically, I attribute essentially "free love," to put it simplistically, as being rather chaotic. Nothing necessarily wrong with it, but generally more of a pleasurable, personal thing that can, to a degree, be disruptive to society. So while not exactly the sort of thing I'd have a paladin...

Calastia actually made it rather clear that it was a decent place to set up shop; so long as you don't try to rebel, it's not so bad. It's about as oppressive as Hollowfaust in its laws; excluding Virduk himself and a few others, most of its leaders are lawful neutral. Termana's also the...

Chaotic good human bard. Not surprising at all. Fighter came in 2 points behind bard. Also, I may be reading it wrong, but negative scores in some places? Seems to be the case. Which, if that's how it is, I'll also take some pride in a -2 evil score. With that said, I don't think I've run...

Eberron could be aptly described as a common magic, low power setting. Magic is abundant, but powerful NPC's are rare enough that cat's can be swung in the setting without smacking one. Spellcasters and non-spellcasters alike. One of the better things about it is that the rulers of its nations...

Farscape wasn't a failure because it just recently had a mini-series come out. It's had its obstacles, but wasn't a failure. Firefly wasn't a failure because, last I heard, it does have a movie coming out at some point. So, while it perhaps still has some obstacles, it doesn't look to be a...

Cancellation's just as good as failure as far as I'm concerned. The setting may have still been making a profit, but if that profit wasn't enough for Sword and Sorcery Studios to continue its production, then it still failed at something. With that said, here's my own thoughts on why it...

Sure it is! I said regularly, not always. Heh. I avoid giving outright definitive, no exceptions allowed kind of statements. There's almost always an exception, after all.

Seeing as how the initial poster asked whether we allowed monks in our games, thus meaning a no is a perfectly valid answer despite what some who didn't read the full first post might say, here's my own input. No, I don't allow monks in my games. It comes with a certain amount of Asiatic...

If I can get my hands on mithral breastplate, I typically will. I like the concept of the light, more mobile warrior and it certainly helps with that.

1) Depends on the prestige class, really. For example, the Archmage and Heirophant are fairly generic prestige classes for powerful mages and priests respectively. It would make sense for most any high level caster to take one of those, whether it was a straight wizard or a wizard/red wizard. By...

Of course, that's almost precisely saying the same thing as the sorcerer being redundant in comparison to the wizard. The differences between the favored soul and cleric are probably greater than the differences between the sorcerer and wizard.

The various optional base classes mostly seem appropriate to the setting; the cleric has it built in that it's essentially a "trained" sort of class, so the favored soul definitely works for priests of less hierarchal sects, like those of the average chaotic god, whereas the healer is perfect...
