Giant's might doesn't make your weapon's damage dice larger, it just gives a straight +5 to damage.

I already preordered the book. How about a vague hint about what the battlerager build does? ;)

What does the Battlerager Vigor build give a fighter? What does a fighter give up to get the battlerager or tempest builds? What do the new polearm feats do?

The Savage World of Solomon Kane is a standalone game that also fits very well. It uses the Savage Worlds RPG as its base, tailored to fit Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane, one of the great classic S&S heroes.

I've been thinking about recent superhero movie trilogies, and noticed that they all seem to fall into a predictable pattern. Movie #1: Good Movie #2: Possibly even better than #1. Movie #3: Sucks wet farts out of dead pigeons. This definitely fits the Spider Man trilogy, and definitely fits...

The 2e Forgotten Realms gods & religions books, Faiths and Pantheons etc. The game balance of the 2e specialty priests was extremely dodgy, but the flavor and ideas were excellent. My favorite 3e book is the Tome of Magic. For occult flavor and art quality, it can't be beat. I don't know if...

I agree. The powers are roughly equivalent. Some of the powers available are excellent. In addition, the character can pick and choose which powers he wants from the entire class list, so he can fine-tune the powers he gains to the character. It seems equal. The real problem with paragon...

I'm going to agree with the others: Talk to her about it. You should also ask her if there are any kinds of roleplaying scenes that she would be interested in. Not all "roleplaying" is created equal. For example, I find "talk to the villagers to find out what'd going on and/or persuade them...

I'm reading the Lies of Locke Lamora. I also just started reading a nonfiction book called The Corpse Walkers. I was at a Neil Gaiman reading on Wednesday, and he recommended it. It's a collection on oral histories (interviews) with many people at the lowest rungs of modern Chinese societies...

Agreed. This ECG picture would be okay for a monster manual, but it's lousy for a campaign setting. It has no background. I know it's supposed to be the mournland, but "vague orange background with a couple rocks" isn't very evocative as the mournland or anything else. The EPG is similar...

The Wee Book Inn? Wow that brings me back. That's where I found my copy of the original Deities & Demigods book... about 20 years ago.

IMO, DMPCs should never steal the PCs thunder. They should support the PCs, not take the glory for themselves. For that reasons, I would use DMPCs for leaders primarily. Warlords in particular are able to make the rest of the PCs more awesome without taking the credit. Their powers buff the...

That's a great idea! Make it a skill challenge, involving most or all of the PCs in some way. It makes sense that a ritual involving many participants could work faster than one person doing a ritual on his own. In addition to Arcana, you should include Endurance (to channel the magical power...

I'm very surprised that they haven't errated Dwarven Weapon Training and Eladrin Soldier to only give proficiency in simple and military weapons.

Double swords don't give much to a rogue other than +1 to AC (from the defensive property), because they don't have any two-weapon fighting talents. With a rapier, you can still wield a dagger in your other hand, for when you need that extra +1 to hit, or when you need a ranged weapon. Edit...

That's an awesome observation!

I don't think anyone has listed the Paragon and Epic feats, so here goes: - Demonweb Spiral (warlock) - Enemies damaged by your Darkspiral Aura (dark pact boon) are immobilized. - Distant Swordbond - call bonded weapon from up to 1 mile away as minor action - Double Aegis - Mark two targets...

It's a PP from Shade, with stealth and concealment powers. 11 - When you spend an action point, you and adjacent allies gain concealment until the start of your next turn. 11- gain resist necrotic 5 +1/2 level. When you use a swordmage aegis power, this increases by 10, and melee basic attacks...

I got mine yesterday, and overall I love it too. The art is beautiful and evocative, and the game mechanics all seem quite sound. I have two disappointments though. The first is that the "background" section lacks several regions and countries that PCs could come from, like Evereska and...
