    soldier instead of warlord

    To paraphrase myself from a different thread, any Player who decides to have his Character give anyone orders based on what class he's chosen should get his ass bounced to the street. Leadership, in an adventuring party, comes as a gift from the party to the "leader".

    soldier instead of warlord

    How about "Veteran"? It has that "military" feel that so many seem to desire, without the "rank" or "tyrannical leader" aspect that many of us find objectionable (even though I, too am a big fat Travis Morgan and John "Warlord of Barsoom" Carter fan), and it has history with the game as it was...

    Eladrin, warlords, and unnecessary D&Disms

    Good one. If we can come up with decent names, why can't WotC?

    Eladrin, warlords, and unnecessary D&Disms

    If some dink thinks he's the leader just because he took "warlord" as his class, he should get his ass bounced out to the street. Better if WotC avoids all that by using a more generic name. I'd recommend "Champion" or "Stalwart" in place of "warlord".

    I just realized what bugs me about Warlords . . .

    "Champion" is OK; what about "Valiant"? "Chevalier"? "Daredevil"? "Firebrand"? "Gallant"? "Lionheart"? "Stalwart"? "Bantam"? "Intrepid"? "Surehand"? "Dauntless"? "Steadfast"? "Bulwark"? "Fire-Eater"?

    D&D 3.x The 4E Monster Manual -- what 3.5 monsters need the axe?

    Cut none; I want every damn critter that there is, whether it's from 1e, 2e, 3.x or Metamorphosis Alpha! Combine every extant monster book into one ginormous tome, with a portable digital version included gratis! I want my beholders, grell, flumphs, rust monsters, piercers, illithids and...

    So, about those halflings...

    Much prefer the hobbity flavor. As for humans being widely traveled for no reason, that isn't true at all. Humans need to earn money, desire more living space, have to hide from the authorities, ditch an unhappy marriage, cut the apron strings, whatever. Those are reasons, good ones, why...

    Any Art Shrine Links?

    I've been searching for links to AD&D art pages, particularly any devoted to DAT, but either they don't exist or my Google-Fu is weak these days. Any help would be appreciated, yo.

    Chopping off Body Parts

    Ah, the sword of sharpness! What a wonderful device; in 1e/2e I cooked up a sharpness matrix that allowed for everything from decapitation to severed limbs to the loss of a finger or two. Plus a critical hit chart covering extra damage multiples, broken bones, incidental severing, pierced...

    I voted Greyhawk, Al-Qadim, Mystara, Kara-Tur and Other (Spelljammer is my Other of preference).

    Personal Preference (P)for PHB Pronouns?

    Another vote for "Genderless He". Anything else to me is jarring and clumsy.
