I find it funny and amusing how everyone is getting worked up over something that 99.999% of people don't ever bother to read and won't ever be affected by. You could read the fine print of your mortgage or car insurance and be equally "outraged." It's legalese folks. It's for lawyers, not you...

Is set VI called Lost Tombs or Mysterious Lairs??? http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/216470000

Same idea but it was definitely more recent in 3.0/3.5.

I remember seeing (somewhere) a generator for creating random demons (or maybe it was hordelings?). It was a number of tables for different limbs, heads, tails, wings, etc. It might have been Dungeon/Dragon magazine. But now I can't remember where I saw it. Anyone know what I'm talking about...

"Asking the creature to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell." Case closed. It's an "obviously harmful act" to suggest attacking one's comrades. The spell doesn't say harmful to yourself. The spell also uses the word "influence" rather than...

Ahhh, thanks. I went looking for other threads but must have missed 'em. I don't understand why people seem to think that the Christmas tree effect is limited to ability-enhancing items. Just doing away with those doesn't solve the Christmas tree effect. As I said above, it just changes the...

So I read the posting preview about 4E magic items (on the EN World home page) and I'm left with the following question... 4E is reducing PCs' reliance on magic items... how exactly? All I see is reducing the ability to use rings and some optional rules to limit magic items. Everything looks...

With all the hype surrounding the LotR movies, there must be something seriously wrong with the Dragonlance Chronicles for a studio not to take a chance on it. They made Pathfinder and Dungeon Siege for Jimminy Crickets sake!

Bingo. But I saw an updated version in Drow of the Underdark. Thanks!

I remember seeing a monster in a WotC book that was simply a tangled mass of spider legs with no body; the legs simply sprouted out from its centre. Does anyone know what book this monster is from or what it's name is?

I don't buy the argument that Dex should replace Str for melee attack rolls. There may be cases where that's true (e.g., with light weapons), but there are cases where having sheer strength enables you to score a hit when you might not otherwise. But I agree wholeheartedly that realism should...

Because if you're half-something you're more likely to see the viewpoints from two different perspectives than someone who is "whole." This is advantageous when it comes to negotiation (as any good negotiator will tell you).

Ditto. I wouldn't pay $10-15 for the stuff we used to get for free from WotC. To be honest, I wouldn't even notice/miss it. To be even more brutally honest, I have predicted and continue to predict the the D&D magazines will eventually make their way back to print. They'll die a pretty ignoble...

Having a standing army of drones attracts a lot of attention. Especially to the guy at the centre of their attention. That's usually bad for a vampire. Subtlety goes a long way when you're a vampire.

I'd make the #1 tenet of the Ravenloft world uncertainty. I'd keep all the domains but drop the idea of them being "joined" like a jigsaw puzzle. If you head into the mists, you have no idea where you're going to end up. Maybe you can get a Vistani to guide you but otherwise you have no way of...

I don't think it's contradictory. Protection from evil doesn't prevent the subject from being affected by the spell, but it does prevent active control of the subject by the caster. So if the protection ends before the dominate person, then the caster can fully utilize the domination for the...

But it won't just be a few. As soon as you do it for some gods, they'll pop up like weeds all over the place. I don't think the niche specialty priests fill is big enough to warrant more separate classes. 3E became bloated enough without 'em, and I'm sure 4E will eventually go down the same...

I don't like the cover b/c it's certainly not what I would expect to find on the cover of what will be the highest selling D&D 4E book. To put it bluntly, the cover sucks. Get that tiefling out of there. And the chick's nose looks like it'll take an eye out. Bad cover. That being said, the 3E...

Templates. All the way. But WotC should get its act together and have template generators readily available (and accessible) online. Need a halfling zombie? Click. Need a dinosaur skeleton? Click. It doesn't get much easier than that.
