    Dragon #308 previews new ranger and barbarian!

    But then if I really wanted twf, it would probably be better to just take the feats sooner with my normal feat progression and get the bonus feats as archery feats instead - feats that I might not really want. It would work if they set up the prereqs of the feats so that the earliest level you...

    Dragon #308 previews new ranger and barbarian!

    I'm not sure yet that I like this. With twf -- if you want it you'll already have it by levels 6 and 11. If you want to focus on archery, you'll probably have everything you need by level 11 (6 feats already for non-human, 7 for human). It seems like you'll just end up taking something you...

    gaming and nutrition

    We are at a strange point in history where high calorie foods, sugar and fat, can be manufactured more cheaply than other types of food. Our physiology craves these substances because this high energy was, in the past, not as common and thus a very valuable source of energy. Convenience food...

    Thanks for the clarification Serge! It is much more clear what you are referring to now. As regards what you addressed to me... If you keep the statements in context, they are referring to this one, single monster and a comparison of why I like the old one better with several concrete...

    New marilith/balor pictures

    Who are you talking about? Name names. I mentioned preference for the 1e artwork but I also adequately clarified why I preferred it without even hinting at nostalgia -- or does the Hindu religion count as nostalgia? If nobody knows who you're talking to, it's kind of hard for them to respond...

    If A Rogue Has The Ability To Use Any Magic Item...

    Yeah, the bard is a much better healer than a rogue. I think he's the second best healer after the cleric. He can use healing magic items, use magic device skill for stuff he can't access, like raise dead, and if he takes the healing spells at each level he can spontaneously cast all of them...

    People are only honest if they agree with you? Interesting, but I suppose it must be true since your opinion is always, indeed, pure fact.

    gaming and nutrition

    I'm somewhere in between the first two. I try to eat some healthy snacks when I can, but I also eat lots of junk that I don't normally eat too.

    Looking for other options for XP systems

    Riddle of Steel's spiritual attribute system combines both of these in a really cool way. I'm not sure how the best way to convert it to d20 would be. Basically, you define five character traits that define your character's motives, so it might be something like: conscience faith (Pelor)...

    New marilith/balor pictures

    Yeah, I thought of that. With what they've done to creatures like the manticore though, there are far fewer straight half animal creatures now than there are spikey emaciated ones. You've got a great point though. I think it was the whole Indian feel that really made it stand out for me...

    Deep Water and Shoals - A Swashbuckling Campaign

    Vemuz stands silently, leaving his arm to hang loose so that Mr. Lang can not tell that anything is wrong with it.

    [OT] MS is in the toilets..

    *bang* *bang* *bang* "Hey, I have to go. You've been in there 20 minutes!!!" "Go.....away! Just.....another.....minute....." Yet another reason to not want to touch the keyboard. This has to rank among the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. Maybe it's just a publicity stunt?

    New marilith/balor pictures

    I think I have a better grasp on why I dislike the Marilith now. 1. It used to be a very distinctive monster, a six armed woman with a snake's torso. It was very unique and the only monster that looked like that. Very memorable. Now it's just another random scaly/spiky creature like all the...

    http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rs/20030506a I assume the fiend pics at the bottom will be in the revised monster manual. What do you think of them? I think the balor is absolutely fantastic but the marilith just ruins the monster completely compared to how cool the 1e edition one was.
