The Soprano Sorceress series by L.E. Modessitt. He's one of my favorite authors. I've read all the Recluse books and just started this set. (Is it Recluse or Recluce... I can't ever keep it straight) And, in preparation for Kingdom of Heaven coming out this weekend, I stumbled across John J...

Have you seen Cooley's "Buy the Numbers"? Well worth the purchase price of the PDF, even if you don't ever use it. He split out core class features and assigned XP costs to them. PC's then buy whatever abilities they want, when they want. Customize to your heart's content.

Proposal: get rid of the Remove Disease ability, and give a bonus Divine feat instead at each increment of the Remove Disease ability. Is this overpowered? What else should be tweaked to make this balanced?

Another vote for Civ 2 being better than Civ 3. Civ 2 is ALWAYS on my HDD. The best game ever. Every few months I'll obsess over it and conquer the world one more time. Kohan and Age of Wonders series are 2 of my all time favorites. I still dust off Diablo 2 once in a while. Medal of Honor and...

You a bountyhunter? Man's got to make a living. Dying ain't much of a living.

OK... if I rephrase to "Is there a RAW on this issue" does it get to stay here? ;)

I really like the alternate turning rules in Complete Divine (1d6 damage/cleric level to all undead within 30'). How would you re-do the Empower (or Heighten) Turning feat with this alternate? 1d8 damage? +1 or +2 points per level? (Does this belong in House Rules instead?)

IIRC, it's a red dragon. The followers are a mix of races--orcs, kobolds, a minotaur, some humans. The dungeon is not huge--several caves in the side of a mountain. I particularly liked the way the levels fit together: ups and downs, different elevations. I enjoyed the backstory and the way the...

Clockwork Orange ruined Beethoven for me for almost an entire year. And that REALLY irritated me. I still can't listen to Singin' in the Rain. That movie put scenes in my head I wish I could purge. "Disturbing" is not a strong enough term.

Most impressive.

Thanks for the response... but I was hoping to use it at a lower level. No shield bonus, but it adds the shield AC to all flank and sneak attacks. Is that fair? You don't get normal (full-time) use of the shield, but it helps in a pinch. This, I think, goes to the purpose of wearing it on your...

You may accuse me of getting this idea from the movie Troy, but actually looking at Schleich Knights (awesome toys!) got me thinking about this. Some wear shields on their backs for added protection. Achilles did it in Troy, and the battle-axe-wielding-Schleich Knight is wearing it like that...

+3? That seems high. Heck, just do a straight +3 bonus (to hit and damage) and that'd be even better (until you have Wisdom 18+, but would you rather have +5 hit/+0 damage or +3 to both?) I'd say +1, but that's too low, so how about +2? But that's just a gut feel approach, not based on rules...

Sean Reynolds had a variant rule for commoner's on his site (maybe it's still there), giving them a CR1 encounter worth of XP per month. This worked out to them being about level 9 by age 61 (IIRC). If you use his logic, you'd have to have some REALLY hard months/years to get to 20 by "normal...

Truly excellent work, Bobacus! If you would, I'd like a picture of Tharan Kuranas Arbrandt. Unbeknownst to him he is the son of nobility, taken away in the night before his father's enemies slaughtered his family. Tharan began his career as a fighter, but incrementally has become a Paladin (a...

Once again, Knightfall, thank you for sharing your creations with us!

Very nice! Did you use mapping software (which app), or just a draw program (which one)?

Cry for Dawn! I haven't seen any of those pictures in a while... is that still an active comic?

There's an old Dragon article, I think titled "Healing Herbs" that gave game stats for the healing properties of various plants and such. I read it years ago (like 15 years ago) and I've always remembered it for some reason. Maybe I should dust off my Dragon CD and go find it... If you have...

Hypersmurf... call me crazy, but Druss is my least favorite Gemmell character! Waylander and Tenaka Khan come before Druss. And Connavar, and Bane, and Decado, and... I REALLY like Gemmell's books!
