That, IMO, would rock. I hate building or upgrading characters as a player and having to pull out the DM's book to do so.

On a serious note, based on the move to online material we're seeing for 4e, I won't be the least surprised if 5e never sees paper at all (i.e. entirely electronic edition).

'You detect no traps -- in fact, that last post looks like CANDY!'

There is only one logical conclusion. I must have briefly died sometime in the mid-80's, thus awakening my clones. :nod:

19 years, same as bento -- & almost the same ones ('85 to '04 here). *eyes his evil twin suspiciously*

39) All PCs are from the same village, which has been cut off from the rest of the world for longer than any of the PCs can remember (including the one who had to be difficult & play an elf). I've done #12, though it didn't run long enough to see how it went.

You lost me in this paragraph. Firstly, I disagree that Law is 'commitment to a set of principles for action' while Chaos is not -- to my mind, the difference is in which principles each commits to holding. My own view of Chaotic alignment is one who advocates the importance of the individual...

Hrm, I didn't realize that dragons had a baculum. Interesting.

Probably already said by others (so sue me for not reading the entire thread)... I almost always play human because I've yet to be convinced that the racial bonuses of other core races outweigh the bonus feat, bonus skill points, & freedom from multiclass XP penalties (yes, some DMs do use...

In addition to kin selection, we should remember the complexity of competing selective pressures. As an example (unfortunately another 'disease' one, but an easy one to grasp), the gene for sickle cell anemia, when present in an individual as only a single copy, provides greater resistance to...

That does sound great. IIRC, doesn't HoH have some rules about haunted locations which would integrate well with this? I'd also consider having an area linked to something belonging to the victim -- could be anything from a truly safe space where allies of the party could reside, to a safer but...

Barring the odd case where they are fertile by parthenogenesis, that is. By the time they're laid there's no chance they will be -- avian fertilization occurs before the egg is laid. They're not feathered fish (of which some have internal fertilization, but not most). :) Hmm. If a chicken...

Re: Daniel Radcliffe: I think him appearing nude on stage in "Equus" is a pretty strong opening move to counter that. Completely unrelated, but he does turn 18 tomorrow according to imdb.com. *cough*

I give up. Where the heck is the link to this catalog?

1) Inspired by D&D, I took fencing in college. My instructor was so impressed with my form that he had me demonstrating to the class & asked if I'd ever considered competing. 2) Although a housecat almost killed my 1st level paladin once, I've fended off an alligator IRL. 3) I've traveled to 5...

The fight that got to me was in the BG1 expansion when the BBEG was slinging death effects. I beat it a few times, but it took forever to win with 0 party losses (which I just had to manage).

Now I'm totally picturing an adventure where the BBEE (encounter) is a pack of wolves. Could set it up so that the party has to travel through a wintery forest with a deadline in place. Have them come on a bloody kill, then slowly start to work in the fear -- the wolves were still nearby... &...

Too many points scattered throughout to use spoiler tags, so skip this if you haven't seen it. I actually liked AWE better than DMC... possibly even better than CotBP, though it's really too close to call there. I fully enjoyed the fantasy nature (I kept thinking 'oooh, that'd be cool...

I tend ever so slightly toward odd pronunciations & spellings, so bear with me on the pronunciation notes; 'zh' is like the 'z' in 'azure' & 'sz' is a somewhat hard sound partway between 's' & 'z' (but not quite as hard as the 'ts' in 'tsar'), in the pronunciation notes vowels are long if...

Actually, I prefer the idea of using clear Jell-o (tm). That way you can push the character minis in when they get engulfed. :cool:
