Mr. Ryan comes through again with a speedy resolution to the problem. I gotta say I love the support that the system is getting from WotC.

It's like finding the first scratch on a new car... Flipping through Urban Arcana, I come across the much ballyhooed Bicycling rules. Check this - for a top of the line, aerodynamic 10-speed bike (first cue there - when was the last time a top of the line bike was 10 speed?), the maximum...

Or, you could use the rules exactly from Urban Arcana, but make it so everyone knows about Shadow. There isn't anything in the system that requires the "veil". It is just a way to use the world as we know it with only minor modification. If you do away with the obscuring aspect of Shadow, you...

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I caught this one already - phonetic spellings, but woefully incomplete. None of the words I need is included therein... I thought of naming the BBEG "Where is the bathroom?" and the party's NPC ally "Good evening, father", but it just didn't feel right.:p

Here's one I heard today: If a man makes a decision in the woods and his wife is not there to hear it, is he still wrong?

Heya, I am working on some names for an adventure I am writing, and I need some help with the Arabic translations. I tried the illustrious masters of the Web, but sadly the online English-Arabic dictionaries all seem to give the translations in Arabic script, and since I don't speak Arabic, I...

Two of my players have taken cohorts in my game, and it was generally pretty fun. The downside is that the party got really too big (6 PC's and 2 cohorts, plus an occasional plot-driven NPC or two tagging along). For GM's who are comfortable running large parties, I don't see where it would be...

Is it just me, or is there a dearth of good feats for creating a Grapple specialist? As far as I can see, Improved Grab is not available as a feat. Close Quarters Fighting (from S&F) is good for avoiding grapples, but useless for starting them or doing well in them. Clever Wrestling (from...

My Fiend Folio, purchased from Amazon, was fine. My D20 Modern is a bit warped. I looked through a stack of A&E Guides at a con a couple of months ago and almost every one at this one vendor's table was warped. I ended up buying a non-warped one from a different vendor. I'd say there is a...

Well, I don't think many people really plan to kill Scots or Englishmen, but if the situation came up, and I had to, I think it'd be stylish to use a Claymore. :) I bought a replica of El Cid's sword in Toledo, Spain, from a reputable smith. The price difference between the balanced one with...

Not that I am overflowing with disposable income or anything, but I was thinking of picking up a replica of a Scottish Claymore sometime in the not-too-distant future. There are a ton of companies on line that sell such things, but I hear that their quality varies considerably. For example, I...

If there is enough of his lower arm left that his bicep is still attached and functional, he could get a prosthetic that could be quite useful for climbing. I know there were quite a few times when I was climbing that I lamented the limitations of flesh and bone, and would have preferred a...

First of all, plenty of well-expressed support for free speech and open minds in the posts thus far, so let me just add a nod, an assent and a thumbs up to that. I feel I must add a small reality check for those who are deeply concerned about the reputation of RPG's among the Normals. It...

The class is a great NPC class, or a good PC class if you are starting at a higher level. Surviving the low levels of suck that you must endure in order to prepare for this class is not easy or a lot of fun. When my PC's were about fifth or sixth level, I threw an eighth level Fighter/Lasher...

I'm waiting for the evil dictator bunker to be found with posters of Simon from American Idol plastered all over the walls. We need to do something about that guy... -B-

I see your points. I will stick with the strict definition in Tome and Blood. It does irk me a bit that the designers of the feat chose to limit the spells function by a rather arbitrary aspect of the spell description. Did they go through the PHB and say yeah, the personal range spells...

The Persistent Spell feat states that only spells of fixed or personal range can be made persistent. That seems to specifically exclude touch spells cast on one's self. I don't think this is ambiguous, but I'm curious as to the rationale. I don't really see why Persistent Spell shouldn't just...

There is a template for a mummified creature in Savage Species.

I believe Korin is on the money. It is the only interpretation that does not assume a massive inconsistency in either the PHB or S&F. The Cavalier Full Mounted Attack (quite a misnomer since there is nothing full about the attack) ability is not a readied action, but is a normal, standard...

Did any of you notice the "future of advertising" theme in Minority Report? It was an interesting vision. Bottom line is that American culture, and I would imaging English culture or any other generally wealthy culture fundamentally based on commerce, is all about getting people to want (and...
