    The Concept Is... he DOESN'T use a sword.

    Yes, but in terms of D&D statistics, the longsword isn't particularly better than the battle axe, the heavy pick or the warhammer. A longsword has a better crit range, but: 1) The battle axe and the warhammer inflict exactly the same base damage and have a better crit multiplier. 2) The pick...

    The Concept Is... he DOESN'T use a sword.

    Sometimes, I get sick of the preponderance of sword use among warrior types in D&D. Don't get me wrong, I like the sword as well as anyone, but I get tired of seeing swords & sword-like weapons being used all the time. So, I find myself creating fighters (paladins, whatever) who dress in...

    Mongooses' Sheloth: City of The Drow - Anyone get this yet?

    Yep. Nothing impresses me more than watching a company take a cheap shot at another company. Patrick Y.

    Best Current RPG Artist?

    Well, she's doing a book of fairy stuff for Larry Elmore productions, with B&W full page illostrations and accompanying d20 character stuff. And, better (for me, anyway) she's doing all the art for my own Summerlands rpg, some of which can be seen at the-summerlands.com Patrick Y.

    Dragon #311 Summary

    Interesting. I'm presuming Jeff Quick is an assistant editor, and that he transitioned the article to reflect the revised rules. I'm curious to see how they changed the article. It was purchased well over a year ago, and was written with 3e bards in mind, to better shore up the class'...

    Dragon #311 Summary

    Can you tell me who wrote the Musical Masters article, and what the names of the prestige classes presented within were? Patrick Y.

    Good assassins?

    To me, this argument always seems to come down to strict definitions versus broad interpretations. In other words, do you see the word assassin and read "person who kills for money", or do you see the word assassin and read "person focused on the silent kill". In my experience, the people...

    So what is the new "Safe House"?

    The Ram was very good. Excellent food, and they definitely wanted the GenCon crowd. To my mind though, it just doesn't have enough wacky atmosphere to really replace the Safehouse. The Slippery Noodle is really cool, and the beer and mixed drinks were good. It also has one other thing in its...

    Martial artist updated for 3.5E

    I dunno. It's up to the Mongoose guys to make that decision. I think the book has sold out, so I suppose it's a possibility. Heck, if they do decide to do it, they might just do it themselves. But yeah, I'd do it. An update job like that would be just the thing to help me restock my...

    What dragon are you?

    I'm the second one of these, but I'll repost the info, since the other fellow is on page 1: I am a A Dragon of Illusion! Hey, I took the http://dragonhame.com online Inner Dragon quiz and found out I am a Dragon of Illusion on the inside. In the war between good and evil, a Dragon of...

    By God, there's a joke there. It's just waiting, eagerly, to be typed. But I won't say it, oh no... but I'm thinkin' it. Patrick Y.

    [/snarky mode on] New Character Closeup

    Str 16, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 14 Yeah. How, uh, dreadfully.... overpowered? Sorry. Just not seeing it. I see absolutely no problem in challenging a character like this with bog standard encounters. My wife, a novice DM, had absolutely no problem mulching characters like...

    High Charisma=Obsessed with sex?

    New Nymph Illo

    Nah. As always, Charisma =/= beauty A character with Charisma 19 might be as ugly as, say, the Red Skull or the Phantom of the Opera. Patrick Y.

    High Charisma=Obsessed with sex?

    I would guess that for a lot of people, it's all about wish fulfillment. Put frankly, gamers aren't known for their ability to get laid by attractive people. Therefore, for some gamers/DMs, a high Charisma character is their way of gettin them a piece. Patrick Y.

    Rapier wielder, what feats, books, would you recommend?

    If you can wait for a little bit, you might check out the Quintessential Sorcerer. There's a prestige class in there intended for use by more martially inclined Sorcerer types. It's called the Arcane Blade, and it has all sorts of nifty bonuses combining spells and weapons. Quite nasty...
