Continuity is over-rated. Think of your favorite TV series - how contiguous are they, really? How much do you notice when small things change? And, in the end, does it really annoy you that much?

I managed recently to have an NPC villian return not once, not twice, but four times! I was very proud of myself. The character in question was a lich spawn - basically what happens when you apply the lich template to a low-level character and reduce a few of the DCs. And, his phlactery...

I believe in balance of fun and time in the spotlight. If everyone is having fun, then everyone is balanced. that being said, i think the classes should not be totally disparate in their powers and effectiveness. I chose option 2, but I really think there should be a middle ground. jtb

1) Pay attention to _HOW_ you learn. There is much more opportunity to explore your own learning process in college than ever before. For example, I learned about myself that if I go to all my classes and pay attention, I don't need to take very many notes, and they won't help me study. I had...

Never - it's the cardinal rule of improv. Always say yes. Even better, ask a question - even in response to another question. (This can become an improv game in its own right). Really, that is one of the only guides to improv at all. Much of the stuff said here is really good advice...

no - I am assuming that the act of channeling the energy of unlife - which I think equates VERY WELL to the Dark Side of the Force - is an inherently evil act. I mainly asked because I have a good cleric as an character, who has a wand of inflict moderate, which he is using more or less as a...

HA! That doesn't even buy a CONDO here... *sigh* Mrs. theBard and I would really LIKE to own our own place... but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. That's what I get for living in a San Francisco suburb. jtb

Base level 1 - smart hero +1 for graduating high school as the head geek of the drama club - charismatic hero +1 for graduating college with a dramatic arts degree - charismatic hero +1 for finishing grad school with an MFA in computer arts - smart hero +1 for turning 21 and studying aikido -...

Amen to that! I would likely have set my game in their world, or adapted a LOT of their stuff for mine, if it had come out by now. As it is, I'm left with little teaser bits and nothing to really sink my teeth into. Disappointing, for a company that started off so strong right out the gate...

EMPEROR From here you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance, and the end of your insignificant Rebellion. Luke is in torment. He glances at his lightsaber sitting on the armrest of the throne. The Emperor watches him and...

1) All of them 2) Six, counting me. Although calling it regular is stretching credibility a bit. 3) One, counting me.

#3) a room or corridor where water is quite obviously flowing uphill.

According to the SRD: Aaaannnddd.... So, even though inflict spells and Harm are not listed with the evil descriptor, is casting them an evil act? By extension, is casting a cure spell or Heal a good act?

Tell 'em, Large Marge sent ya'!

"In which case it was beastiality, which is also prohibited by your church. Turn in your holy symbol and holy avenger and enjoy your suspension."

I saw that stuff, and I really liked it. If I hadn't already incorporated the Iron Kingdoms stuff into my campaign (with heavy modification) I would be using that. Oh well, next campaign. jtb

In Europe, at least, the sword was beginning to fall out of favor as a weapon of war during the period of the musketeers - 1600 or so. Their name means, essentially, one who carries/uses a musket. They still used the sword extensively in close quarters, but warfare was starting to be held more...

Diplomancer and Eldritch Master and the alternate bard are all in the Book of Eldritch Might, vII, Songs and Souls of Power. Also, Song Mage and Knight are in there, which are two other bardic PrC's. It's a pretty decent supplement, esp. for the price. You don't need to buy the complete book...

It sounds interesting, although incredibly high-powered. As for the magic missiles, if that were the case (instead of random spell generation for the general populace), I think Shield would also become extremely popular, thus negating the magic missiles. It's just the normal arms race of...
