    Open minded from XPH

    It's not cheap at all--you're using a feat, a precious feat, to get those skill points.

    QFT. I forgot how much they all like pie. Thanks for the reminder! :)

    Well, there go my plans for treating everyone to Sauerkraut Custard from Milwaukee! ;)

    Colossal Red Dragon

    Thanks for the pictures, Kae'Yoss. I really like the "size comparison" photo. :cool:

    Colossal Red Dragon

    I just saw it up close and personal and I gotta say.....the wings look horrible. You know how they used red cellophane to make fire in old View-Master slides? That's what the wings reminded me of--red cellophane. I am seriously thinking about cancelling my amazon.com order. First the...

    wishing for a permanent skill modifier

    Give them +10, plus the ability to always take 10 on the skill check, even in stressful conditions, distracted, or endangered. That should suffice for most swim checks without adding god-like numbers to the skill or actually giving them a swim speed.

    Making Favoured Classes Count: A Gestalt Character Idea

    Gestalt characters really do increase the complexity of the number-crunching and the potential of MAD, but the power level doesn't go up that much. Despite all the advantages, you don't get any extra actions per round, which will continue to limit options. In the gestalt game I'm running for...

    So what Huge Miniatures would you like to see in the next Huge set?

    Hydra. But it's gotta have extra heads to take on & off, as needed, to match your in-game creature exactly.

    Colossal Red Dragon

    Awesome! Congrats on getting such a great deal. Yeah, that description has damped my enthusiasm for the mini just a bit. Thanks, frank! :p

    Colossal Red Dragon

    I thought the exact oppositie. It looks o.k. in a picture (maybe it's just my brain, imagining that the dragon spewed fire and what we see in the picture is the split-second captured on film). But up close (at GenCon), it looked horrible. You could have pre-ordered at amazon.com for about...

    I need a Pot!

    Your link doesn't work--it has an extra dash at the end. Starr Pottery should work, though.

    I need a Pot!

    Sadly, his website appears to be no more. So, unless you're travelling to/from/through Bramwell, West Virginia, I do not know how you'd get a pot from him. :(

    Gen Con Reports?

    Cool! Now you can run it at the Chicago Gameday.....in the post-midnight Slot #3! :D

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    Just for that, my new character in your home game will be a wizard. Specializing in Web, Evard's Black Tentacles (a.k.a. Anti-Climax), and raising people from the dead! :p

    Cleave with a touch spell?

    No. Even though the feat does not specify that the initial attack must be made with a melee weapon, the text does state that the Cleave attack is an "immediate, extra melee attack" that is "with the same weapon." A spell is not a weapon. Besides, what spellcaster takes Power Attack and...

    My Cthulhu Campaign

    A great read. Thanks for bumping it, ledded.

    Starting Worlds Largest Dungeon - general suggestions, and jazzing up Region A

    As a former player in WLD, here's my suggestion: Reduce the number of Fiendish Darkmantles! Way too many of them--it became quite boring to fight them over and over. In fact, just cut about half of them out, leaving dead ones in their place (someone already killed them). Level A just seemed...

    Gen Con Reports?

    Hey, mods! Shouldn't the profanity filter catch such strong language?!?! :p
