I caught some of this yesterday, and was really astounded at how much I liked it. Good, solid stuff... did it ever get released on DVD?

ScreenName: jcfiala Real Name: John Fiala Sorry - didn't realize this all was here. I assume I pick this up at the enworld booth? Looking forward to the con!

The 4-6 slot on Friday? I'm willing to help out, sure. How 'Dress nicely' are we talking about? Decently clean tshirt? Decently clean shirt with a collar? Help me out. :)

Geometry nothing. It's a general idea of where the characters are. He doesn't keep track of exactly where everyone is, he just keeps a general idea of where people are. After all, even without Attack of Opportunity, if you're doing mapless combat, how do you figure who gets hit with the...

I've played several times without minis. You just have to describe your movement a little more - instead of saying "I walk over to second orc and attack him", you say "I walk over to the orc that Kalish is attacking, but I make sure to not walk right past the other one." It requires a little...

Hey. I didn't notice this area until now. I'd love to stop by for the picnic, and may bring my wife along too - barring her own schedule. She went online and bought tickets for Indy, whereas I'm mostly just winging it all weekend... and running stuff for FUDGE at the Grey Ghost booth. Not...

Additional hit points equal to 2* Hit Dice, +2 for Fort Saves. Some critters have poisons whose save DC is Consitution-based. For the Rules as Written, you're pretty much stuck to that list. If you're playing in Eberron, there are some feats that open up new critters that can be summoned.

I've recently been running a Conjurer in a game, and I had a lot of fun with the Summon Monster spells. I grabbed Augment Summoning, and then another feat (from FrostFell) which allows you to summon your monsters as Cold subtype creatures with +1d6 damage on natural attacks. It's useful to be...

These are the three I'm expecting to end up at the end, although it does seem like the Scout has a chance.

So, this is a floating mystery use - if as a 4th level shadowcaster I've got 4 first level mysteries, and an int of 14, then I can use one of those first level mysteries twice? I really like the feel of these changes. They sound like they'd be more useful.

I'm fond of AoO myself - the generally make sense to me, and the don't take that much more time in combat, I think.

Well, that depends on how powerful the magic items are. Assuming the PCs magic items aren't too much more than they should have for their level, and assuming no one item is more than a third or so of the expected gold value that level, they're probably safe. If they're higher in magic value or...

I like the idea of a Sorcerer, but I agree - a few more skill points and a bonus feat now and again wouldn't kill them. I like the ideas of Eschew Materials and Highten Spell as bonus first level feats - I think the Heighten be more useful at 5th rather than 1st level, though.

I've been reading them myself, and they're really good - I've picked up the first two collections so far.

There doesn't seem to be much, power-wise, to keep a wizard in the wizard class, I agree. I voted for the Rogue (among others) because they get abilities pretty constantly up to 20th level - a high level rogue connecting with a sneak attack can be a scary explosion of dice.

They may not be balanced. I'm not sure how well an 11th level bard would do up against an 11th level Cleric to begin with. But the Bard Satyr will have some pretty strong Perform checks for the Cleric to save against, and although I admit the Satyr has lower hit points, the DR he has is going...

Yeah, when I see that, it gets my goat.

Well, if it's one thing that Satyrs are good it, it's pressing the flesh and kissing the babes.

Well, I'd admit I wouldn't want to play a NINJA satyr. But an 11th level Bard Satyr sounds pretty cool. 9 hit dice, high bard-like skills throughout, decent stats, and some Damage Reduction to make up for the missing hit dice. I'd want to take Practiced Spellcaster to shore up the magical end...

Actually, the LA for a Satyr is +2, so that's an ECL 11 character. And now I want to play a Satyr in a game. :)
