Well...

That would be it, I'd say. They are descriptors, and not all auras have obvious names. It seems a bit easy to miss, though. Maybe the frenzy should be above the standard attacks?

I spy... A maneuverability rating for flying. A tiny bonus to saving throws. An action point! Ability descriptors and use information in the first line. :) A monster that summons, after all? :uhoh: That speaks... Supernal? Wears a noble signet ring. :] And can grant wishes by way of ritual...

Ion't know about you, but I Shiva at the very Thoth. Yes, I'm that a-Freyad. On a more serious note, while this particular example is not from real-world mythology beyond the names, more famous names can help set some of the mood of the setting, for example. Also, their presence might help in...

Yeah, I bet the Randomized Blank Quest Cards product will be a great hit. Seriously, there are areas where a C*G approach can work wonders. Miniatures is one. Most people can't create actual miniatures, many can't paint miniatures for various reasons, some people want out-there figures while...

Does this help? Or what about one of the first playtest reports where the wizard was pushing around enemies? Artillery is one kind of battlefield control, but obviously there are more ways, and the wizard has access to more than just artillery. Of course, Wepwawet is right that one shouldn't...

Blarg. Still alive. I'll post something on friday.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the 3.5 SRD and the Modern SRD were available pretty soon after launch, unlike some other SRD additions and unlike the 3.0 SRD. Also, it seems that it is the plan to have the SRD available pretty soon after launch (those posts were made when the...

The Deluxe PHB was first added to Amazon as coming out at the same time as the regular PHB, which has since been corrected. So no, not odd. If there were any oddity, it would be that the Deluxe PHB is up so early when no other book between the MM and the Deluxe PHB is up already, but we have an...

Among others, pages 88, 116, 142, and 147 of the 3.0 PHB (and equivalent sections of the 3.5 PHB where they exist) identify Mialee as female, so from the start, her gender was known. :p

Well, I'd be glad if I misread danbutler1 so much that your reading (and thus my suggestion) is actually what he meant. It would make much more sense. :heh:

Well, we could start by looking at what famous/iconic creatures were not present in the 3.X Monster Manual, which would include things like catoplebas, dao, flind, fomorian, marid, phoenix... it really isn't such a departure from 3.X, really.

That sounds more like a recipe to disaster than a great business plan, unless you want 3rd party publishers to fail... :\ Here you're asking the publishers to make an unneccesary purchase. First off, there'll be a SRD, free of charge. Publishers can (and should) use that. Early in the d20...

I suspect (and hope) that is not what was meant, for exactly the reasons you and Manzanita provided. Plus, a player in the adventure or a 3rd-party summarizer simply won't have access to the stats. Rather, it should be the "fluff" that was mentioned in the adventure, and if the DM is writing the...

Just posting to note I'm still pretty busy (helping with a move), but we should be done this week.

Yeah, I was speaking from a 3.X viewpoint, there, what they get now. :)

I feel gates might work as a supplement to travel rather than a substitute, if the destinations of the gates are far away enough, and gate cities rare enough. Say one of the main cities has three gates, and is one of the rare few cities that has this many gates, and the gates lead either to the...
