Oh, one more comment: I think that the "most recent reviews" are simply the 10 most recent reviews. There have occasionally been spurts of activity that push a review from as recently as yesterday off the list. Why not have that be a three or four-day window, instead of the last 10? Then you...

Really nice start! I really dig the streamlined interface. Fast loading, too. Clicking on "Top Reviewers" to get to "Browse Reviewers" is a little confusing. Is loading the list of publishers to start a search necessary? Why not have it broken out to a link? In fact, having all the Browse...

In the past, MotB have been reluctant to tie these franchises together, because they don't want to dilute the Magic brand. I think that the logic goes something like this: "We don't want to lose our profitable M:TG players to our D&D franchise." Asking couldn't hurt, though. :)

Hi Morrus, I read plenty of the reviews that you link. Why not release this burden to the community? Like Eric said above, for each product in the d20reviews database, have an external review list that isn't weighed in. Let the community take care of this stuff, or at least a few volunteers...

Hi, all. Please educate me. :) Of the four standard reach weapons: Glaive: 1d10, x3, reach 10' Guisarme: 2d4, x3, reach 10', improved trip ability Longspear: 1d8, x3, reach 10', can brace against charge Ranseur: 2d4, x3, reach 10', improved disarm ability ...why are there none that do similar...

I'm quite happy to agree on disagree on the CR topic. :) Let's get back to the stats. How many of those other animals would share statistics with something we have? For example, you list Turkey next to Chicken. Would they be similar enough to share stats, or are we just tweaking them for the...

On Domestic Animals and CR I agree that wild animals need a CR, but disagree on domestic ones. It's not that catching chickens and slaughtering pigs correctly isn't hard, it's just that these activities are the exercizing of skills (Profession(farming)), not the same kind of "overcoming...

Krishnath, I was on the fence about mice being vermin/animal. MythandLore suggested that they were vermin, and... I've had mice in my apartment, and I agreed with him. :) But I guess that you're right, they should be an animal, since the MM describes Vermin as invertebrates. So, MythandLore and...

Counter Collection I: The Usual Suspects is a collection of cardstock counters similar to the type found in their other products. Also included is an eight page adventure. Physical Description / Criteria for Review: The package contains many sheets of 450 full-color cardboard counters (more...

I'm voting for a smaller page template. My biggest problem with the reviews page is that the server seems to be swamped at many points during the day. Instead of listing all the companies and reviewers and the Top 10's on every page, simplify the design. I don't look at that information every...

The Living Greyhawk Gazeteer is a book describing the world of Greyhawk. Greyhawk is a typical D&D campaign setting of low-fantasy, where the world is described as "tough". Physical Description / Criteria for Review: The book has a nice picture of an iconic Greyhawk character on the cover. It...

Typical Animals v1 Hi, all. Been trying to post this all day, but the boards have been loaded. Here's my first shot at these creatures. I'm open to suggestions. Refresher course on Animals: [BAB: as cleric, skills: 10-15, feats: -, good saves: Fort and/or Reflex] I made a note on the animals...

Does the character in question have the metamagic feat, or is that part of the wish?

MythandLore, this is a great start. Are these the average speeds for each animal, or the fastest clocked speeds?

Galfridus: Mounted penalties only apply when the horse is on the move. (other than the ride checks necessary) Thanks very much for your collective reassurance that this is, in fact, balanced. I feel better. :)

Thanks for all the feedback so far, I just want to nail down other issues before they come up. Could Warhorse take a 5' step back after their Full Attack actions, preventing the Enemy 5' step and smack Rider option?

I think I'm mistaken. You're right (Artoomis, Crothian), double thanks. :) But my original post should have said: the campaign is levelling off at levels 6th/7th. The "ambush the archer" tactic works once, but he's in a party of four, and he likes to use this all the time. Won't the player get...

Thanks for the reply. 1) The horse will survive for 30hp. Long enough for a few full-round actions. And like I said, we have a low/mid level game. 2) I think you're mistaken. The square you start from is unthreatened, but when you move through a creature's threatened area (even with a 5' step)...

Hi. I run a game, and one of my players is using a tactic that's perfectly legal, yet I'm finding it to be unbalancing. "Rider" is a bow-specializing fighter (a Monte Cook ranger, actually), and he likes to fight from the back of his Heavy Warhorse. When an enemy approaches to melee him, his...

MythandLore, that's a great idea! Falcon (most mysterious omission since it's listed in PHB) Elk Ram Also, the Deer in the Creature Catalog (thanks BOZ) moves at 30ft. I had always pictured a deer being able to outrun a human, but I'm not a deer enthusiast and I can't find information online...
