Before anyone jumps on this, I think it best to posit that Scott probably means "may not" as a probability reference ("It may not come to that," "He may chop your nose off, he may not," etc) rather than as a prohibitory thing ("No, you may not do that.") Of course, only The Rouse knows for...

This part is interesting, for sure. Sounds like 4E Spycraft and other such things might be feasable after all.... Hmmm, on further reading it sure looks like the $5000 early buy-in fee has been dispensed with. Iiiiinteresting.

That last one -- wouldn't work so well in the campaigns I run (well, at least not with my group). There's always one character who'd enjoy that item far, far too much.

Dancing girls. When in doubt, the answer is always "dancing girls." Whaaat? ;)

Oh, good god, yes. Please sir, may I have some more? Hmmm, alternately: "Think ye that this will grant all which you desire? It may not end as ye wish. I could tell ye the tale of a young woman many years ago who acted as ye. A woman who found herself tied by fate to the object of her...

I've had a world fragment in my current 3.5 semi-campaign that's much like yours, though I think I took it a bit farther. Some things I've done to flesh 'em out and make things more distinct: 1) Most people are clean-shaven and bald, even women. This is a preventative measure instituted...

Hmmm, about the Dragonborn breath weapon.... If I had to guess, I'd hazard that the type of damage is chosen on character creation, and isn't something that's chosen each time it's used. Along with that, it may be that certain types of breath weapon attacks are associated more strongly with...

This. Hell, I've even preordered via my FLGS, as I don't wanna wait for Mister Postman to deliver it -- and yeah, I know it'd be delivered to my doorstep on release day, but why chance it? Besides, this way there'll be no risk of anyone looting the box as it sits forlornly on the porch. Now...

Uh-huh, riiight. All I see here are a bunch of unsubstantiated pessimistic assertions without a scrap of proof to back 'em up. Come on, give us rules citations -- especially ones that say that PCs don't have to have a good reason to use what would apparently be an unrelated skill just 'cause...

I think I'd go with throwing sand/salt have an effect something like (cheesy name intented): True Grit With a quick scoop from the ground, you throw dirt in an opponent's eyes. Encounter, Martial, Range 1 Dex vs Ref. Hit: You and all allies have combat advantage against your target & the target...

I think you left out the sub-title: the whole thing should read: Dungeon Tiles 18: Follicles of the Underdark: Where the Sun Don't Shine :uhoh: And now I offer profuse apologies.

Still more from the blog -- from today even: Here's where I really can't reveal anything, because if someone official hasn't already explained how it works, I sure shouldn't be spilling the beans. However, I will say that the way non-combat magic (rituals) work creates a far stronger foundation...

Hmmm, I would think changing that clause to give Wizards "nonexclusive rights to use" stuff posted on Gleemax would be a better thing, but then again, I ain't a lawyer. :)

Once you realize that Quarry is a replacement for the 3.x Ranger's 'Favored Enemies' mechanic, it naturally follows that the damage is a boost to any attacks the ranger makes on his chosen target. Gone are the days of Rangers being specialists against classes of enemies -- now their favored...

Hmmm, with this I could also see Raise Dead perhaps used as a curse -- a high-powered ritual inflicted on a late-heroic character, ensuring that he not only dies a lot but comes back from it in the most agonizing way possible. At that point, you have a character who finds himself perhaps...

As mentioned in the first thread on this some months back, probably Eladrin Paladin of the Raven Queen. Mind you, I'll most likely be the DM at the start, but fortunately we've got at least two other talented DMs besides myself. HUZZAH!

I'm amazed I didn't see any reference to the Mayfair rules.... As an old friend once taught me, any time you think a system sucks, it always looks good next to Mayfair. ;)

You are a sick, sick man. But then again, so am I.... :lol:

Ha! Irony -- I like! :lol:

Except that Sleep doesn't cause damage. At all. It slows, and then it renders unconscious -- and that's it. So it's a question based upon a completely erroneous premise. Sure, there can be inferences read both ways pro- or con- but they all need to be based on valid readings of what we've...
