Yeah, I'm not seeing the stone goblins, either. Storm goblins, though. I'm also with Telperion on this one; I'd just stat them up as normal goblins that are called storm goblins due to tribal matters and their previous worship of Lethene and now Enkili. There's only so many variants on a species...

Eh, doesn't seem necessary. If a Darakeene book comes out, I'm sure the War Colleges will be brushed up on a little bit more, but other then that...not particularly necessary in my opinion. A lot of those benefits and what not are simply the sort of feats and the like they train in; after all...

All right, haven't read the Quintessential Fighter, but here's essentially how it works in the Scarred Lands Fighters and Barbarians Guide. There's about 3-4 pages that detail the major schools of Clayborn, Hammerdale, Plague, Glamerhill and Wake. Each takes up about half a page. Following...

Heh. Well, let's see. Forsaken elves would still be forsaken elves and Jandaveos would still be That Which Abides. Not only would the slarecian's still be a mystery, but there'd be no psionics altogether. The elemental seals on the djinn cities would have stayed there. The thought came...

Might just be because those who scored lower, aren't too willing to share their scores. There's a fair share of intellectual types amongst gamers, but both real life and on-line, I've found there's also a fair share of less than intelligent sorts... Anyway, I nabbed myself a 1330. 760 Verbal...

Yes. They're gone into a bit more in the Scarred Lands Player's Guide to Fighters and Barbarians. I think the only major one of them, though, that has a prestige class, is the school that teaches the use of the spiked chain.

Depends on the product, actually. Take for example, the Ravenloft and Midnight Campaign Settings. I'd almost always prefer black and white in those instances. It's more appropriate to them, in my opinion. As a matter of fact, outside of the map in the Midnight main book, I find the first few...

Yeah, campaign settings are definitely the furthest thing from "must buys." They're fairly narrow, defined books, for the most part. I personally love campaign settings - but that's me, and I generally have a good idea of what I want. Campaign settings tend to provide some story and flavor to...

Good.

Nearly never. I think I cheated on a Swim roll once and that's because I didn't want the ignominious death of drowning. So sue me. Even as a DM, in the past four or so years, I rarely ever fudge the dice, and the one time I remember doing so was to a player's benefit. He missed a saving throw...

Yeah, it really depends on the setting. However, for the most part, I see gods as being intrinsic to the very fabric of the universe. You can no more kill the god of honor then you can honor, for example. You'd have to completely eradicate the concept of honor from the universe for the god...

Personally, I prefer starting characters at 2nd level. This helps explain any multi-classing the character might want to do. It eases certain concepts in better. Although apprentice classes can do that, too, of course. But then, they eliminated those from the revised Dungeon Masters Guide...

What in the world is Eberron doing on that list, yet not Ravenloft? Or for that matter, the Scarred Lands? Nothing against Eberrron, but it's been out all of...less then a month for most people? I've also a number of opinions on Spelljammer and just why Ravenloft should most certainly be...

I'm with Umbran. The poll is rather, in my opinion, vacant on a few more pertinent options. Like detailing sects. Cults. Origin myths. That sort of thing. All of which are integral to a good book on deities. Those are what should come first. The sorts of things that the characters will...

Peace and no pain, sometimes the best we can ask for. I never knew him all that well, but found myself worried all the same when I first stumbled across a thread regarding his condition however many months back, and even found myself checking his livejournal here and there over the months to...

Having not read the book, I still think it could be said about the slarecian's controlling the mind flayers is that, while the slarecians are only +3 LA, most of them have quite a number of class levels. In regards to the first few that were created, they probably had a good deal of class levels...

Just as an aside to those with worries about the Scarred Lands products, while there does seem to be a woeful dearth of them in the days to come until December, Joe has mentioned he's in development on the setting still, and currently working on a new Scarred Lands project. Whatever it may...

In general, I prefer them right up where their stats first matter. As has been mentioned, page flipping is obnoxious. I particularly hate losing my place when I still need to see what's on that first page while I'm skipping around for the one with the monsters stats on it. Now, if a monster...

Quite the amusing post there, Eryndel. But, now for my own comments back towards Grumpy there and input and answers to the matter. The moons of Scarn do not, in fact, influence the tides of Scarn. Leastways, not directly. The goddess of the sea for the setting, Manawe, has control over the...

Not to throw too big of a monkey wrench into this discussion, but I hold to the opinion that a chaotic character can, indeed, hold to a code of honor. The point is, though, that it's a personal code as opposed to one from an outside source; i.e., a guild, knightly order, war college, etc...
