Ye gads... I am fast approaching 1500 (though at least a couple hundred are TSR's). Hi, my name is The Sigil, and I'm a PDF junkie... --The sigil

I could be wrong, but I think your sentence should read, "(w)hen criticizing grammar or spelling, BE SURE that the critical post is without blemish." The noun in the second part of your sentence is "post" - this is the noun being modified by the derivative of the verb "criticize." The post...

I'll add two things... 1 - The PCs need to decide how they will divide the loot ("auction method", "everyone takes turns grabbing a magic item method" or whatever). 2 - The PCs need to set a "marching order" and elect a party caller (to use bD&D parlance) - outside of combat, I only listen to...

I'll hit the original question first, and yes, the revised version is completely updated to be compatible with 3.5e. There are more spells, more feats, and more music abilities than in the previous version. As to how complex things are, well, the simple answer is "you don't have to use...

Word, dawg! 8) (That's the correct response, right?) --The Sigil

IIRC (it's been a few years), I did have Benford - I think it was in my senior year and was High-Energy Plasma Physics (which has a pretty healthy dose of E&M in it). I myself prefer to put the cap at about 3 more than you did (I like the idea of a 5th-level character who has devoted his entire...

Yes, that edit is helpful... I'm just trying to clear up the misconception that "P2P is illegal" or "filesharing is illegal." It should be "copyright infringement is illegal, and often P2P is the vehicle by which infringement is done." There are some really great legitimate reasons for P2P and...

Bzzt! Wrong! I have here a set of all the PDF works I have published. I own the copyright on them. It is legal for me to make them available via a filesharing network. I have also a copy of the SRD, complete with OGL... and a copy of the latest Linux distro, complete with GPL. Because I...

Personally, I don't buy this argument... at least not if you read it as "being released now" (instead of "already released"). When d20 was first released, there was a wave of garbage released. However, as time passed, people got more and more discriminating in what they purchased, and in...

I found the original article interesting, but there was one thing that rankled me. It's nice to get up on your high horse, but this psychological issue was addressed over 150 years ago... (emphasis below mine) As I said, I'm not condoning piracy, but I understand that once the "big wigs" poison...

I'm not going to construe it as a "good act" myself, merely pointing out it CAN be construed as such. However, ultimately, in my opinion, the question at hand is, "was killing the halfling an evil act?" The SRD states that killing an innocent is an evil act (emphasis mine). It does not say...

What was the time frame between the assault and finding out the halfling was involved in the assault? If he found out the halfling was involved during the assault, it could be construed as "killing to protect others." Ah, but "unnecessary death" is not evil by the RAW. "Killing (or harming)...

Arravis, here's another bit from the SRD: I would submit that the paladin's wife (and without getting into a possible religious flamefest here, I'll say possibly also the unborn child) are examples of "innocent life." She/They has/have been assaulted, and need protection is needed...

Again, require two checks. The first check is the Int check (or Knowledge check) to see if the character knows the trivia or can recognize the pattern inherent in the puzzle; i.e., to see if his mind holds the key at all. The second check is the Wis check, which allows him to realize he HAS...

Disagree. A *player* with, say, a 15 Intelligence should not play his 3 Intelligence barbarian CHARACTER as a master tactician. Conversely, a player with a 3 Intelligence playing an 18-Intelligence wizard should not make repeated uninformed decisions. Intelligence in D&D is defined as (a) raw...

*shudders* Gads, those were awful. "Your characters get swept along, and watch all these really important NPCs - none of whom can be killed because they have uber-powerful-super-DM-magic protecting them - do all the cool stuff while you are just hangers-on." Yuk. The classic example of "the...

Borrowed DA1 - Adventures in Blackmoor for my first adventure, played with 12th level characters using only a borrowed Expert Rulebook (didn't have the Basic Set at the time). You can see vestiges of this adventure in The Burning Sage's Demesne, which I wrote years ago for Eric Noah's Adventure...

The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art has the "good" enhancements from HoHF: Dwarves and HoHF: Elves (thanks again to Benjamin Durbin, who was gracious enough to work with me on including the ones from Elves, even though Elves was still "in development" when I approached him about it; I...

Linky to a very long post addressing how I conceived of addressing the problem of undead (and evil/negative energy) from a cosmological point of view (a couple of years old now): http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=808188#post808188 Note it does not include accounting for...

God bless, Keith. Why is it we never seem to hear about these sicknesses until after the passing away? I understand the "don't want pity" thing, but I for one would have liked to be able to tell Keith "so long, and thanks for all the art." :( --The Sigil
