    Rifts gets Disney and Bruckenheimer deal

    Its about time this was announced. I first heard about it back in 1999 or 2000 or something when I got together with Kevin & Maryann and its been hard keeping my mouth shut. :) I originally heard that Ridley Scott was interested in directing, and that he was a big fan of the Juicer OCC. I seem...

    Angel Season Finale (Spoilers)

    Would you mind going and editing it out of your post so other people who don't want to don't see it? Including it was incredibly thoughtless. Some of us don't want to read spoilers, and if you were right, you just ruined the series finale to one of the best shows on TV. Thanks. :mad:

    Close Quarters Fighting

    Yup, like Eldorian said. Its also reprinted in Races of Faerun, if I recall correctly. I've had it for about a year now with one of my characters, a half-orc falchion specialist. It basically gives me a free attack on anything with Improved Grab and I don't think I've been successfully grabbed...

    Angel (April 9) Spoilers

    Since I knew from one of the previews that Fred would be the only one to break free, I spent a lot of the ep trying to figure out how. So when Jasmine was talking about being named, I thought that it might have something to do with that. You know, a "name the evil and you have power over it"...

    Retention of Paladin and Monk multiclass restrictions in 3.5ed

    Yes, there is. Anyone who plays Living Greyhawk (and there are thousands upon thousands of us) has to abide by the Core rules. We don't get a choice about house ruling it. Buy that?

    Retention of Paladin and Monk multiclass restrictions in 3.5ed

    Considering that most of my 3e experience has been in Living Greyhawk, where we follow the cores rules (except where we don't ;) ), I'm really disappointed with this decision. That sort of decision should be up to DMs and be dependent on background and the campaign world. (and I've got to agree...

    Movie: The Gamers

    I'm actually pretty disappointed. Not in the film, but in the fact that I was planning on watching it at a recent con but didn't have time because I was busy volunteering. Sigh...

    Improved Grab, Sneak Attacks, etc.

    Thanks for the input, that does make sense. I just had this great visual of a poor sap all tied up in her coils and getting shredded. :D Actually, that 50% chance is only for shooting into a grapple. And it isn't technically 50% - the rule actually states to "roll randomly" to determine who you...

    Improved Grab, Sneak Attacks, etc.

    LOL... Don't worry, she isn't really an NPC that should be tangled with until epic levels, if ever. She's one of the generals of the Lower Realms and basically started out as an experiment in advancing a monster into epic levels. (Two great feats for multi-armed creatures are definitely...

    Improved Grab, Sneak Attacks, etc.

    But what about the fact that when you take a -20 penalty you aren't considered grappled? I suppose that could mean while you aren't considered grappled, you are still grappling, so they'd keep their Dex bonus vs. you. I didn't consider that. Monster Manual II actually talks about movement while...

    No one has any comments?

    Flumph! Er, bump.

    Improved Grab, Sneak Attacks, etc.

    One of the things I've always had trouble with in 3E is grappling (who hasn't, right?). With the release of Savage Species and the Multigrab and Improved Multigrab feats, I revisited one of my favorite NPCs, a Marilith Blackguard. Now, if I'm reading this all correctly, the marilith could hit...

    "Gaze Monsters"

    So I just picked up Savage Species and noticed all the feats applicable to Gaze attacks. Obviously, I want to make a nifty NPC who uses lots of gaze attacks. So what to use? Medusae are all over the place, bodaks look stupid (okay, they don't according to the description, but look at the...

    Thanks for the summary, that made things a lot easier. :)

    Divine Power and High HD Creatures

    Huh, must have missed that one. Thanks! Edit: Apparently I'm still missing it. Which one was that in?

    Divine Power and High HD Creatures

    So what happens if a creature with high Hit Dice casts Divine Power? For my example I'll use a Famine Spirit from MM2 with 7 Cleric levels, for a total of 39 HD (32 HD + 7 class levels). Divine Power states you get the BAB of a Fighter of your total character level. So would it get: a. BAB +39...

    Tactics Primer

    Another nice combination is whirlwind and improved disarm, especially if you're using a weapon that gives a bonus to disarm, like a chain.

    Angel 1-29-03 (Spoilers)

    Knowing the mantra "characters who are happy are dull", I knew something was up and I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. At first I thought that the Beast was just a setup to release Angelus, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was wrong. Favorite quote: The Beast - "Is that what I think...

    Winter Fantasy Starts Next Thursday! Who's Going?

    Probably not, I don't plan on judging the Vault (although I considered it :D). I'm judging Return to the Isles and Fury of a Cold Man's Heart, plus the Fiesta slot.
