I think this could potentially be a very clever thing on Wizards' part. They see that the Pokemon card game has lost all its' steam. Nintendo starts making moves that they want to start up their own Pokemon card game. Wizards sues, and gets some kind of settlement (notice that the article...

Bit of a hijack, but I've found this is a great way to give characters who have fallen a few levels behind the rest of the party some bonus experience. Have a caster on another plane summon the character for a big fight, and give them 1/2 XP for the encounter (only 1/2 because the character...

I gotta' agree. Nwm's got a great technique. He sits back quietly while the rest of the party makes waves, but when someone really, REALLY needs a swift kick, he unleashes, like the force of nature he is. It's not that he's got more Big Bang spell potential than Mostin (he doesn't, I'm sure)...

Has anyone else been having trouble getting into Wizards' website? I tried to check out the Book of Exalted Deeds stuff this morning and it looked like it was down. Tried it just a little while ago, and I still couldn't get in. Anyone know what's going on? Or is it me?

The BBEG used to hunt vampires. Use that in the party's favor, if (when) things go bad for them. MAybe the BBEG has a kind of a death wish? He devoted himself to destroying vampires for so long, maybe part of him wants the PCs to succeed, and he pulls his punches somewhat. The vamp throwing...

There's a cat outsider, a crocodile outsider, and some kind of elephant-guy, all grouped together. It sounds to me like it might be some kind of new template. Animal Outsider, or somesuch. I doubt they used Bastion's OGC. But the four-armed cat-man is a pretty unique image. We'll have to...

Combat Tasting Benefit: When eating particularly spicy Chilis and currys, you gain a +4 to your concentration checks to avoid running around like an idiot yelling "Hot! Hot!" and looking for water. In addition, you suffer no attacks of opportunity due to snacking in combat (drinking a potion...

Maybe you can build your Summon Ally spell (special ability?) more like the Planar Binding spells? You contact an Expert weaponsmith, summon him and work out a deal, and he crafts you a new sword, and vanishes back where he came from when he's done. You aren't bound to a "rounds-per-level"...

How about "magical" smiths/craftsmen? They're so good at what they do that the weapons/arrows/armor/whatever that they make is imbued with special properties, which get more and more powerful as they go up in level? Hmm...that sounds like it could be a fun prestige class even in a "normal...

Oops. Missed that. Must remember to pay less attention to work, and more attention to ENworld... *hangs head in shame*

Do you mean you've looked at the GenCon preview in stores? I didn't think the actual book was out yet. If it is, my <idle specilation> bit in my last post is pretty much definitely wrong... I can't imagine anybody being taken surprise by this book. If you're not offended by the concept, you...

Speaking as a reasonably-well-informed layman, and not a copyright lawyer, I don't think you're wrong about how the licenses work. According to the license agreement, you have to destroy all existing stock, and have everything pulled from distributor's shelves. And eat the cost yourself...

I haven't got the 3.5 books, so I had no idea they added these kinds of descriptions to them creature entries. I like the idea IN THEORY, but I from what I've heard in this thread, it sounds like they bungled the idea. Flavorful, narrative descriptive text that a newbie DM can read verbatim is...

Hey, Woodelf, any idea when your "D&D done right" supplement is going to be finished? Is there any chance it will hit the streets before UA? I imagine you're right, and you'll go a lot further from Core than Wizards will, but it would be nice for you if it could go public before UA comes out.

I'd say the most interesting thing about the preview, to me anyway, is the Marshal. Pretty cool class, I can definitely see where it would be useful, but it fills a very similar niche to the bard, only without spells. I have to wonder how much fun a Marshal would be to play. Granting a +2 to...

Yikes. One hit from Athan and Greppa went down? What ARE those glowing spears he's using on you, anyway? Or is it just that post-celestial Athan is a total combat monster? At any rate, there are worse places to fall down unconcious than at the feet of a friendly healer... Great update...

Is it just solids, or is he gifting you with liquids, too? Male cats (especially cats that haven't been neutered) will pee on everything and anything if they're stressed about their territory. A new baby, and a change to the routine would definitely cause that. But it sounds like it's just...

I'll add another "we understand, Morrus, do what you have to do" to the chorus of support. As we all know, ENWorld is a pretty friendly place. And we like to see our friends happy. So, go be happy. At least now you get to commiserate with Mr. Noah about the joys of reclaiming your amateur...

Unseen servant. That's pretty much what that spell was designed to do...housework and drudgery, so the mage doesn't have to. And you can do wonderful things with the cantrip Prestidigitation.

Yeah, the picture of the 2nd edition PHB doesn't say "2nd edition" becuase it was the repritning of the 2E books. Originally all the 2E stuff said "AD&D 2nd edition" in the logo, but when they reprinted, TSR decided that since this was the ONLY edition of AD&D that they were putting out, they...
