    Shamans?

    FYI, OA lists all outsiders as of the spirit subtype.

    Best (and worse) new base classes from WotC

    FYI, spirits in Complete Divine reference the OA book. In the OA book, outsiders are defined as spirits. Since Summon Monster x summons a celestial or fiendish animal (animal with a template that changes it's type to outsider), they are spirits that the Spirit Shaman can affect.

    The Dragon Compendium

    The lupin and diabolus are races from the old D&D game. They were in recent Dragon magazines.

    Best (and worse) new base classes from WotC

    The scout in my campaign does more of a run up, hit, run away (not back), rinse and repeat. He is constantly hitting from different angles and directions, thus setting up the skirmish damage. If the player is doing the back and forth routine, well, that is just poor playing and can be solved by...

    Am I the only one who thinks Incarnum is hokey?

    In my homebrew, Incarnum is the name given to magic in an isolated section of the world. Is it a different type of energy from regular magic? No, but my players may not realize that right away. Incarnum is all about enhancing yourself, not about affecting the world around you. Totally different...

    Spell resistance and robes of the archmagi

    I believe the wizard could accept the spell without having to roll against the SR if he wanted. YMMV.

    Which variant rules do you use, and why?

    Let's see, you want the list: 1: Action points (from Unearthed Arcana and Eberron Campaign Setting) 2: Armor as DR (from Unearthed Arcana) 3: Weapon groups (from Unearthed Arcana) 4: Magic rating (from Unearthed Arcana) 5: Reputation (from Unearthed Arcana) [hasn't really had an effect yet] 6...

    What's your favorite D&D character sheet?

    HeroForge is the best I have found. Hopefully we finish with the betatesting of the new version soon. You'll see what I mean then. :D

    How does Magic of Incarnum compare to

    From what I have seen of Prestige Races, there is really no way to compare the two. I like Magic of Incarnum, the classes seem interesting, the powers are distinctive and not overpowering. The races are a little bland fluff-wise, but that can be fixed.

    Opinions on the non-PHB races?

    One of my players used a Shifter (outside of Eberron), very interesting. Another is going to be using an Elan, should be fun. I am modifying the fluff text for a number of races (Illumians, Skarn, Rilkan, Elan, Warforged, Kalashtar) to make them fit my homebrew. Interesting mechanics, the fluff...

    Things a GM should not be allowed to do.

    A while back I found this List. Sounds like someone out there has been busy again.

    Warforged and the Monk - doable?

    Races of Eberron has a warforged feat called Unarmored Body that might solve the problems with going monk. Takes away the armor bonus and fortification and armor check penalty.

    How well does Armor as Damage Reduction work?

    I am using Armor as DR from the Unearthed Arcana book and it works fine. The players are a little more cautious about combats, but that is a good thing imho. So far the campaign has only reached 4th level but they seem to be enjoying themselves. The only problem I see right now is how to handle...

    Epic Class True Dragon Diciple

    It's epic. There is only one attack progression at epic levels.

    Looking for some info on 'the Ghoul King'

    Has anyone thought to combine the Ghoul King with Mordiggian (of CoC)? I'm thinking of this and I was wondering if anyone had thought of this.

    In Praise of Cheetos

    Let's see. I started in 9th grade and we played in my bedroom (yes, I hosted the games even then) with the 1st ed (1st printing) AD&D books back in 1979. Inner dork? What is that? I'm a geek and I have Weird Al "In the Box" on my computer (mp3s, silly :)). Oh, and Mountain Dew is nasty. Give...

    Dual DMs?

    I watched a dual-GM game once, (was going to join, but they didn't have room) it was a husband-wife team, she handled the city encounters and heavy RP sessions, while he was great at the outdoorsy combat heavy style. Seemed to work great. It helped that they seemed to be able to read each others...

    Ever had a Player Threaten you Like This?

    Sounds to me like one of the other players told her that you hadn't followed thruogh on your promise. Maybe even joked with her about not getting any XP. I have had similiar stuff happen before. Chalk it up to miscommunication and let it go (unless it happens again).
