If I read it correctly, diviners would only have to choose one forbidden school. That isn't so bad.

Criminey. How many knights/paladin-like figures in books as well as novels have had cherished mounts that would charge right in when called, or whom would show up at opportune times to help out (or ride off to save another day)? There's been a few. All this is doing is adding a little more of...

Re: Paladin's Warhorse Consider the number of stories and fantasy films where a paladin-like character could seemingly call his/her horse at a critical time and there the horse would be (or those instances where the character couldn't call and the horse instinctively showed up)...That is what...

I was initially against the idea of XP cost, and for a long time only grudgingly went along with it. However, it is a mechanic that does help explain why spellcasters aren't popping magic items out their wazoo willy-nilly. At the same time, I can see where someone might question why it should...

E-B definitely hit the nail on the head with that analysis. *nod* Currently I'm playing with another idea, that the specialist wizard's two 'forbidden' schools should merely reflect the minimal training and understanding regarding them. Besides a DC penalty and a -2 on Spellcraft checks...

For what it's worth, methinks I may go with this: 1) +1 DC to all spells from the specialist wizard's chosen school; +2 on Spellcraft checks relating to the school; +1 on saves vs. spells from the chosen school; -1 DC penalty to spells cast by the specialist wizard with regard to two other...

I won't deny that specialist wizards who have more combat-orientated spells get to benefit more but that's always been the case. In the case of abjurers their protections are that much harder to dispel, and one could say the bonus would also apply when an abjurer attempts to dispel/bypass...

What about trying specialist wizards in this manner? 1) By choosing to specialize in one school all spells of that school are cast at +2 DC. All other spells have a -1 DC penalty (-2 on 7 schools is a bit much); or 2) Specialize with one school (as above) but instead of having *forbidden...

Die, tinkers, die! *stomp stomp stomp*

I don't think Fyodor would be mentioned in an obscure manner, more like Wulfgar was in "The Silver Marches"---that is, I guess I'm asking if there's any NPC's mentioned in a substantial manner (in Wulfgar's case, he was included in a 'side bar' that took up 2/3 of a page). If they didn't include...

As for specific FR personalities, Fyodor of Rashemen (of the Starlight & Shadows trilogy) comes to mind. Some people have worked on a version but I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe he was included. Perhaps you can answer that one, thanks.

I think WotC handled it rather well. Let's hope this makes a profound impression upon FFE. I'd like to see their material improve to the point that it's worth my time to give them a chance when it comes to new products in the future.

Auld, me bucko, RPGNow, as SVGames, is merely the distributor. the ones doing the scanning are/were people at Bastion Press. I've had dodgy downloads as well and it p****ed me off to no end because I'm the sort who buys as soon as it shows up on the site...I chalk it up to a scanner or two who...

Hmm... Sp Ambidexterity's gone for good or...?...I can still see where people may be ambidextrous without favoring TWF. but whataver works. Hmm, no changes for the paladin? No improvements in order to bring about a better progression? Tsk. :(

Hmm, why no derro? They'd make for a decent RoF web enhancement, at least.

That's a fair question. I'm probably being a stricter judge than I normally am, in the sense that a 3 to me = the product does what it's supposed to (without making any unforgivable blunders or omissions, etc.). If there were some aspects of the work that I found sub-par or distracting, but it...

This may be a long review to read, folks, so be forewarned. Eldest Sons: The Essential Guide to Elves is a RPG race sourcebook published by Paradigm Concepts. It's part of the OGL Interlink series that both PC and Green Ronin Publishing have contributed to. Eldest Sons was originally slated for...

Well...have you acquired "Way of the Witch" yet? I'd like to hear how it fares against this one.

Plot & Poison is the latest in the OGL Interlink series of 20 race books, which is handled jointly by Green Ronin Publishing and Paradigm Concepts (GRP publishes theirs as "Races of Renown" while Paridigm's is called "Races of legend"). Plot & Poison was written by Matthew Sernett (an...
