Sadly, I don't have high hopes for an 'Incredibles 2'. Disney owns the rights to the characters. Once Pixar's contract is done, they won't be doing any more Incredibles movies. Disney may try to churn out sequels without Pixar (in fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't), but we've all seen...

You know, I don't think I have... I've seen were-sharks, were-crocs, and were-eagles in other games/media, but I don't think I've ever seen statted-up non-mammal weres in a d20 book. Then, my library of 3rd party books is far from extesive, so they're probably out there somewhere... Come to...

I can see where casting prone would be a plus in certain circumstances... You get the +4 bonus to your AC vs ranged attacks when prone. Wizards and Sorcerers are better off staying out of melee anyway, if possible, and casting from afar. So, you let the meat-shields run off ahead, drop prone...

I was thinking maybe PsyWarrior/Monk, but haven't actually statted out any level projections or character build or anything.

You're right, shilsen. There's a big difference between "ranged touch attack" and "melee touch attack usable-at-range". Thanks for the validation, all. I've got a cohort coming to my wizard character, and I thought a mystic theurge apprentice might be fun (even if it's not the best tactical...

I'm pretty sure this works, but if someone knows any specific rulings for or against this tactic, they'd be appreciated. The Spectral Hand spell allows any touch-range spell of up to 4th level that you cast to be cast at range. It never says it has to be an arcane spell. A mystic theurge (or...

Love it! Then again, my tastes tend towards the blatantly cheesy, myself, so I could be biased. More dour players may groan at the A.C.A.D.E.M.Y acronym, but you've got an established villain with a flair for the melodramatic! It's not only cheesy and fun, but it's IN-CHARACTER! That's the...

Are they having fun? You say they don't blame you personally for the havoc, and they're experienced gamers. Could it be that this is just their playing style? They like the light-tactics, kick-in-the-door, shout 'Huzzah!' and make with the hacking kind of game? They may not have a problem...

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, yet, but there was a story on Yahoo News this morning on the new Extended DVD that got into some details about the new scenes. The relevent bits:

When I was actively DMing, I used "setpieces" similar to this, but a little different. Rather than mini-scenarios like you've got, I would plot out locations as setpieces. The abandoned, ruined crystal city, whose ancient Automaton guardians are still keeping watch over the broken shards, was...

Right now I'm playing a summoner wizard with an air mephit familiar, through the Improved Familiar feat, and it's almost embarassing how useful he is. Darkvision, good stealth abilities (small size and high dex), a good fly speed, and is humanoid, so he can do anything a normal character can...

So, I'm trying to figure out what a powerful outsider (say, a Balor, 3.0 version) could do while trapped by Planar Binding inside a calling diagram. The rules say that "none of its abilities or attacks can cross the diagram". This is pretty straightforward. But, what if it had some item with...

Wasn't Ryan involved in some kind of disagreement with the rest of the Board on the direction GAMA was going in? I vaguely remember hearing about some unpleasantness on some message board or another, but I don't remember the details...

That's a great bit of meta-plot from your player. I say it definitely has potential. Let him play out neotiating for the actual numbers. One stumbling point I see, though: you said the Lawful Neutral dragon felt it was the lawful ruler of the land and was just excising a rightful tax on its'...

Do some scrying/divination/whatever kind of research and find out what specific fiends and demons the PCs have royally ticked off over the course of their adventures. Then Planar Bind or Gate them in, and give them a chance to hunt down the heroes and tear into them. BBEW: "Greetings...

Funny...I was about to post a very similar question. I have a wizard character who will probably be getting Leadership next level, and I'm not sure what kind of followers to take on, either. I'm not even completely clear what types of NPCs are elligible to be followers. Do you have to stick...

Careful, there. I don't have the book here so I can't say for sure, but I'd be real surprised if WotC didn't declare artwork as Product Identity. Just because it's an online-only document doesn't mean the rules of the OGL change... But, anyway, probably the only way to get Unearthed Arcana...

So the character is a godless athiest that has suddenly gained stats that rival or, probably, surpass the gods themselves? Here's how I would play it out. He casts his epic spells, gaining an instant, unfathomably high boost in his perception of the universe. Play out the Transcendent nature...

D&D is a great thing to have on a resume. I've had a couple of so-so interviews turn around when I was able to steer the conversation over to the d20 system. Talking for a minute about the legal issues behind the d20 and Open Gaming licenses is a chance for you to sound really smart about...

I've heard some good things about Gene Wolfe's new book "The Knight", but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. It manages to be innovative by trying to ignore all the fantasy subtypes; it's supposed to go back to mythology before Tolkien, and re-examine fantasy archetypes from a more...
