    I'm strangely comforted by the new edition arriving on my birthday.

    [SPOILERS] Andromeda TV General Thread

    Actually, the latest episode seemed to involve an overall story arc. It seems that Trance's people, who are apparently manipulating events, have decided that the new Commonwealth will simply not be enough to handle the Magog ship. So, they've thrown their support to the Pyrians, and are...

    Awakened animal companions and class levels

    Well, my DM seems to be nodding having read that. I think he's probably just going to let the ECL be its present hit dice, which I'm fine with... As a player, I'm glad to know about the changes to animals for skills and feats. Always glad to know my character's best ally is more dangerous...

    Awakened animal companions and class levels

    Indeed, my DM had allowed the ritual from ritual from Masters of the Wild that increases the hit dice of an animal companion. My character had thus far performed this once, then the Awakening was taken into account. Thanks for the assistance Edit: New question from the DM... "See, just...

    Awakened animal companions and class levels

    Hello. I'm playing a ranger for the first time in 3rd edition, and his animal companion has recently been Awakened by an NPC druid. My DM is interested in having the wolf in question begin to gain class levels. He has Savage Species on order, but for a quick answer, knowing that ENWorld is...

    [Dragon] Discussion of Issues #1-306 Here

    Well, I must credit you. My friendly local game shop had their copies of #306 in well before the month the magazine was for, which was unheard of. Usually we get them about halfway through the month...which is why I'm sitting here with both March and April. I hope that keeps up. That said...

    How does one destroy the Weave?

    This could also be used to anger Shar, by accident. Assuming the Shadow wizard locates such a spell, and uses it to please his Mistress...well, Shadow Weave users become more and more disconnected from the Weave. Who's to say that a Shadow Adept would even be able to target the right weave?

    Oh boy...

    Yes, but they already screwed with that when they had Seven's parents be human scientists obsessed with Borg before they had been encountered by the Enterprise-D.

    A request for input on the FR Nations and their relative strength

    Possibly because parts of Amn were annexed by two ogre mages and an army of humanoids and all efforts by the council of six to be be rid of them have been fruitless. Even with interests as far as Maztica, a war within a country's own borders will reduce influence.

    A request for input on the FR Nations and their relative strength

    As long as it has to be done, Gez's way seems pretty practical. You might even want to rate all the countries by various factors before one globbed together power factor. There are also differences to consider when rating a country vs another type of organization. For instance, Waterdeep and...

    Alignments...

    Hmmm, one of the things I've always thought gets misplayed is the Chaos/Law axis. Specifically law. I see a lot of discussion revolving around lawful characters obeying the laws of the land out of habit, ect. To me, the Law in lawful represents universal law, or to put it another way, Order...

    Asking for pointers on a psi-warrior

    Well, the psy warrior in our game is very mobility focused. High Dex, Dodge, Mobility Spring Attack, Up the Walls, and multiple Speed of Thoughts and Mental Leaps. He's been pretty effective, and the player seems to have a lot of fun with his path. Add a Weapon Focus (longsword) in there so...

    A request for input on the FR Nations and their relative strength

    Hey Edena I'm not really sure I can help out here in terms of deciding things. There are obvious power houses in the realms, but I don't think everything can be raterd in an x > y manner. That said, I thought I'd mention that Neverwinter is part of the Silver Marches, and probably shouldn't...

    Party Conflicts and Different Moral Agendas

    Such an argument for Axel did spring to mind when I read the post, but it leaves itself open to counter arguments like: "It is well known that men, elves, dwarves and others of the 'good' races can be tempted to wickedness or cruelty. If you ascribe evil the power to corrupt the pure, as well...

    Looking for information on Hell...

    While there are numerous products that can give you a good grounding on the natures of the devils' home plane, I would suggest you check out Sepulchrave's Story Hours for a good grounding in the feel of running infernal politics.

    "Alternative lifestyles" in your campaign world

    In the campaign world I play in, it varies from region to region, but among the sentient races, it is exclusively a trait that shows up among humans. I don't recall if our DM has mentioned why precisely, but I sort of assume it is part of humanity's only consistent trait being diversity. As...

    Rationalizing Savage Species

    I'm reading Savage Species now, and I note that on page 27, there is a section on multiclassing a character with monster levels. I guess the standard ruling implied in the book is that a character cannot multiclass out of a monster class until they've finished progressing in that class. The...
