I'd love to see Greyhawk, Eberron and Planescape (not necessarily in that order). Although I never played in Greyhawk (but did run a short campaign once, in the Duchy of Tenh), the setting always fascinated me. I love the feel of Eberron, the the story, and the pervasiveness of magic. And I've...

You could re-flavour the mindless/low-Int undead as guardian constructs or animated statues. Just tweaking resistances and vulnerabilities a bit should do it, I think. Make them semitransparent instead of skeletal, wreathed in radiant sunlight instead of flames, shining instead of rotting, etc...

I've been without a proper, regular, pen-and-paper D&D game for close to three years now, so I'm pretty happy with HoN... I've even begun re-reading my D&D books again :) So, as ROland 55 said, it's a gaming lite experience, but (for some of us) it's beter than no gaming experience ;)

I find it funny that the only image in the article shows a hippogriff, and yet there's no mention of hippogriff steed in the text itself (celestial pegasus is the closest thing) :D Regards.

I'm afraid you're a bit late for the parade, guys. If you read the thread past the first couple of posts, you'd have seen that we sorted it all out, and I was shown the errors of my ways ;) To sum it all up: my original assumptions were wrong, Str/Dex combo can deal more damage than the...

Ah, yes. I haven't had the time to check the OP boards for any optimal builds, and, having no practical experience with high(er)-level play, I missed on the various feat/ability/whatever combinations. My fault. I officially withdraw the part about out-performing the Str/Dex build :) I do still...

Gah. I missed that bit, but (in my defence) only because I kind-of assumed the gladiator theme gave the free proficiency, when it's in fact the arena fighter build that does that. I'd go with proficiency and Melee Training at level 1, and then take Master at Arms at 2nd level (which would mean...

It seems you misunderstood. It's not that the slayer outdamages the base fighter, it's that a slayer "build" based on a single feat (Melee Training, which has been "nerfed" since its original appearance in PH2) outperforms the "standard" slayer.

Yes, it does. And that's the brilliant bit. Attack bonus breakdown: +5 Dex, +2 proficiency, +1 untyped (slayer bonus), +1 feat, +1 level, +1 enhancement, for a total of +11. Damage breakdown: +2 one-half Dex modifier (Melee Training [Dex]), +5 Dex (Heroic Slayer class feature), +1...

I don't know whether this has been covered before, and if it has, I appologise. I just had to share :) A player in our group has made a Slayer to replace his shaman character in our Dark Sun game, now at 2nd level. In short, he made a human slayer (with a gladiator theme, but that's more or...

I haven't seen the Rules Compendium, so I don't whether they've been changed, but dwarven and elven scripts can also be found on p. 24 and 25, respectively, of the Player's Handbook. Draconic script, AFAIK, didn't appear until Draconomicon (p. 24 :) ). Regards.

Seems we're thinking along the same lines here. Those are the ideas I've been considering :D Thanks for your help!

I'm toying with a character idea for an upcoming Dark Sun game where I'll be a guest for a session or two. I've already got a couple of ideas on what the character might look like when finished, but I think picking the collective brain might provide interesting results :) Here's the basic idea...

I'll be going home for two weeks at the beginning of October, and it might just happen my gaming group will gather for the first time in a long while. We'll be giving the new, shiny Dark Sun a shot :) I'll only be "guest starring" for a session or two, but I'm really excited about playing D&D...

Hmm, there are no class updates, so either they left those for the October update, or some of the changes we've been hearing about are Essentials-only. I'm specifically thinking about the Mage's spellbook and encounter spells. Regards.

Fiery Dragon, is there anything in the Mage builds suggesting different builds favour different implements? I don't know whether it's just me, but the Implement Expertise feats combined with the three Mage builds remind me of the wizard as was previewed before the designers settled on the final...

Yes, please! That would be beyond awesome, to be able to carry everything I need for a game on my Kindle (plus, obviously, dice and a character sheet). Gaming collection in a paper-bag, if you will :) Regards.

I was thinking on getting it on my Kindle, but Amazon doesn't have it in electronic format yet (to my knowledge)... but now, after all these less-than-stellar reviews here, I'll have to think about it (once it's available). Regards.

Eh, forget it... (tried to make an argument while missing the important bit which completely made it just wrong)
