I avoided DriveThru RPG like the plague after the whole Watermarked PDF fiasco. As a consumer, I'd like to be reassurred that I will have an easy way to identify watermarked PDF's so I can avoid buying them. As an observer, I feel that a 1-day notice that a publisher's online store will be...

Another sad day for the gaming industry. Even though most of GoO's products weren't my cup of tea, I mourn the loss of another publisher. As a big fan of the Amber DRPG, I wonder what its final fate will be with the collapse of GoO.

When has Champions ever had classes? HERO is the ultimate expression of the point-buy philosophy.

I'm surprised that several people dislike Supernatural. It's the one show my wife and I watch together every week. Decent plots, and they're obviously doing some research on the various legends instead of just putting random drivel in to explain them.

I'm still enjoying the tidbits on the normal site (the http instead of the https): Active Projects: The Hanso Life-Extension Project The Hanso Foundation Electromagnetic Research Initiative The Hanso Quest for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence The Hanso Mathematical Forecasting Initiative The...

Actually, I can buy that. Maybe priests aren't considered to be using 'magic' - they're calling forth miracles. In Ismir, maybe what they call 'divine magic' is simply using the same principles as arcane magic, but powering it with the will of the gods. Example - Silver Pyromancers from...

If they were acting on instinct, or savage rage, there were a LOT of targets closer and easier to get to. Serenity went right through the center of the Alliance fleet. Targeting Serenity doesn't make sense if the Reavers were acting rationally, and it doesn't even make sense if they were...

In other words, shock value. Yes, realism. Realism that a reaver ship not only specifically targeted a ship that was unpowered and obviously going to crash (which would have been a no-survivor crash had Wash not activated the backups at the last second), but followed through said unpowered...

I disagree. Doyle's death was a heroic death, where he chose to die to save everyone else. Wash died for shock value, nothing more. I've watched most of Buffy, all of Angel, and Firefly several times over, and I like Joss as a writer. But I really hate this tendency of him to kill a...

M, N, O, P As I recall, the original version sounded like "mahnahmahnop". It was only years later that I realized it was teaching part of the alphabet - M, N, O, P....

Actually, I'd put Season 3 as the weakest one. The main problem with Season 4 was recovering from the mess that was Season 3.

If you take a level of Archmage, the choice is a lot easier. Arcane Reach turns the Dance into a spell with a 30' range.

Page 132 of Races of Faerun: Racial Feats: None, but centaurs can acquire the Spirited Charge and Trample feats (ignoring the prerequisites) and apply the benefits to their own melee attacks.

Found one more, from the Quintessential Wizard: Goggles of True Strike - Allow the character to cast True Strike 3 times per day. Good for getting that enervation or disintegrate spell to hit.

The Pocket Guide rates well for portability and price, but I think the PHB is better as a quickly-referenced resource. It's much easier to find things in the PHB - the synergy table in the beginning of the skills section is the best addition WotC made.

Thanks for the list. To be honest, I'm more interested in magic items since feat selection is rather tight for most spellcasters. Warlocks are even more restricted. I also prefer a constant boost than the 3/day abilities like Heighten Spell-like Ability. I'd rather save up money to buy a...

I find it funny that everyone bagged on Skip when he was the Sage. Now, it's Andy's turn to be the bad guy in these 'sad times', implying that Skip was better. Honestly, it seems like whoever is running the FAQ, there's some sort of WotC mandate to flip a coin to figure out the answer. They...

Well, still digging through books, and I found one more item: Arms and Equipment Guide - Sorcerer's Hand A light crossbow that increase caster level for ray spells by 1, and adds +2 to the attack roll for ray spells. Also, for warlocks, there's the Chausible of Fell Power and Warlock's Scepter...

I'm currently playing a Warlock, but this question applies to any spellcaster who uses ranged touch attacks. What magic items will boost a ranged touch attack (bonuses to hit, bonuses to damage, giving the Precise Shot feat, etc)? Feel free to cite any D&D source, from Wizards of the Coast...

Okay, how about the following situation: DM: "The archer appears to be covering you with his bow, ready to shoot if you cast." Player: "I use my Bluff skill as part of a move action to start speaking nonsense words and wave my hand around like I'm casting." (Roll) "My Bluff check is a 20."...
