No map here, but as I recall, Mezro is one giant maze, an extension of the religion practiced in the area which considers life a giant maze-like puzzle unique to each individual which must be properly solved to gain entrance to their god's afterlife. I seem to recall it being exceedingly...

My normal group gives out a roleplaying bonus (100xp) every session, awarded by the players' majority vote. This prevents any accusations of DM bias.

Unearthed Arcana has indeed not yet been released. It is due to come out early next year. What I believe you're after is Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed, the alternate PHB with a similar name.

"Justinian Stealth" Used to refer to a character who was the lost prince of an empire currently with an oppressed populace. He would respond to NPCs talking about how much the government bugged them by paying for things in platinum pieces and making sure everyone knew that 'something was going...

I believe it was an effort to bring consistancy to the realms in 3e. I seem to recall Seak K. Reynolds talking about this shortly after the FRCS came out, though in reference to Calimport's listed population dropping by 90% between the 2E Calimport product, and the 3E FRCS.

Silent Hill 3. I liked that the second game took a much more personal approach of the horror in regards to the main character, leaving the player unsure of how much of it was in James' mind. However, the continuity in the third installment of the series as well as the...urgency of moving about...

Good luck to you Ashtal! I myself was on a break for several years just before 3E came out. Didn't stop me from working part time at a game store...or continuing to accumulate hundreds of dollars worth of gaming books every year. Right after 3E came out, I was invited by a customer at said...

At first glance, I thought this was a mean thing to do to a PC. But, it doesn't seem to be quite the no win scenario that I thought I'd glanced. The good NPC could be any number of types who'd come to Lord Death's attention. Possibly a good lich (in the vein of an FR archlich) or maybe...

Heh, bumping this up, as my stance has changed. My current game seems to have fallen through, as a small break has dragged on for more than a month, with the current DM currently swamped by work and spending the little free time he has with his fiance (which makes sense, as the best route to...

If arrows in excess of two are what get to you, perhaps reduce the associated penalties rather than allow further arrows to be added. For instance, the initial penalty is -4. Perhaps at BAB +11, the penalty could be reduced to -2, and at BAB +16 there would be no penalty. A little like the...

Well, the event in question took place in "Elminster in Hell", which he wrote. I presume that he is at least in a place to explain events in his own novels.

If I were taking Waterdeep, and had to deal with the magical defenses (assuming I had some kind of meta-knowledge), I'd make a deal with Halaster Blackcloak. Split the remaining territory down the middle and offer assistance in expanding his Undermountain complex, or whatever might tempt him...

That would be Face Off Cards and Collectables? I should also note that I'm shocked no one included the blood pact one must make at Pendragon...as well as the standard beating for the privillage of shopping there.

Thus far for my ranger my GM and I have made the following alterations. -rerolled hit dice This actually worked out fairly well for me, as over the five level conversion, I only lost nine hit points -skill point redistribution Extra two points are retroactive, and I got back my skill points...

I'm just taking a look through my new PHB, and I've noticed the descriptions for favoured enemies, ranged attacks aren't specified as needing to be within 30 feet to benefit from the damage bonus. Has this changed, or is it listed somewhere else?

I would not mind being on such a list. Make it so.

Student and airline lackey myself, but my regular DM and a few other people I know work in there...hmm, not sure what the brand is now that I think, but the division that does tech support for a broadband company in the states. From his description, Converges sounds reasonably full of gamers of...

Darth Shoujo, I noticed on your profile you list Fedex phone lacky as your employment. Do you by chance work for Converges on their Fedex contract?

Add me to the list. Not looking for any games just now though.

As an option, I seem to recall Kalamar doing something you may enjoy. They took the whole, "Divine Right of Kings" concept and actually translated it into game mechanics. Every 'rightful' noble between...I believe the ranks of Baron and Emperor are actually granted some amount of divine...
