    Rakshasas hiding in Arcanix

    While I love the idea of them replacing the casters that could detect them, they already have specific identities they are playacting. (Reminds me of FaceDancers in Dune) Thanks for the input...I guess I was really wanting a sanity check before continuing to design the plot background.

    Rakshasas hiding in Arcanix

    Arcanix is the home of a floating magical college in Eberron. My game has been treating it a lot like Hogwart's. Being a center of magical knowledge, I figured that there would be a few wizards that were high enough level to cast the spell and was trying to figure a way around it. But as you...

    Rakshasas hiding in Arcanix

    Hmmm...even more complications. Would like to stick with the idea, but not sure how its going to work. I read some more...they are Outsiders (Native), so the Protection from Evil wouldn't affect them any differently than any evil person (which I assume that Arcanix has a few). Dismissal and...

    Rakshasas hiding in Arcanix

    So, I need some ideas on how a pair of Rakshasas (Rakshasi?) could pose as professors in Arcanix. I put in rules because it mainly deals with how they could stay hidden when True Seeing can see through thier Change Shape ability. So far, all I could come up with is that they use mundane...

    Drow - good for anything?

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he'll be playing a bard. That should more than balance him :)

    Drow - good for anything?

    I've got a player planning to play one in my game. I let him drop the LA altogether if he spent a feat and dropped the SR. May not be totally balanced statswise, but I intend to make it balanced due to roleplaying considerations (prejudices etc).

    Would you buy D&D mini singles from WotC at a premium price?

    I voted No, although it doesn't really fit me. I like the status quo...randomized minis for fun and third party vendors when I gotta have it.

    HBO to make George R.R. Martin' SoI&F into a series...

    I would say that they are too focused on BAD Science fiction. They need to stop wasting money on thier straight-to-nooone-watching-movies like Mansquito.

    HBO to make George R.R. Martin' SoI&F into a series...

    Yeah, they could do it pretty well. I would love to see Michael J. Anderson get the work, but he's not really what I had in mind for Tyrion.

    HBO to make George R.R. Martin' SoI&F into a series...

    Good point, although they tend to get popular afterwards. I wouldn't worry too much about the children, if HBO's track record with cancelling shows shows anything, it probably won't get past Clash of Kings. But I will still be happy with whatever appears. (Sorry, I'm bitter over the recent...

    HBO to make George R.R. Martin' SoI&F into a series...

    Well I freaked and posted it in the wrong area. Doh! I wonder who they will cast for Tyrion?

    HBO buys rights to Song of Ice and Fire

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    I'll have to dig out my old books to check it out. I like whips myself, but they are hard to use as a main weapon normally. (Unless you go with a whip-dagger, which imho is just a dumb idea) Another question, which may serve as a bump. How was Grey-Wolf's sword handled? Did it get xp to...

    Toys for use as minis

    Just confirming the Heroscape Minis...one of my players bought a ton of these. Equal or better than DnD Minis.

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Quick question: What rules are you guys using for whips? I noticed that Dranko uses his magic whip against armored foes, which wouldn't do damage normally. Is it a house rule, or a special Lasher thing? (I ask because I've tried emulate it in a few games, but the GMs generally shoot the idea...

    Buff Cards?

    Bard Spells, but no non-spell buffs.

    Buff Cards?

    Just counted them. There are 90 spells on the non-Mass pdf.

    Buff Cards?

    I bought them. Looks like all the buff spells in 3.5 (I've only skimmed at this point). There are 11 pages front and back (22 total pages). There are separate pdfs for the Mass Spells. Now Im just trying to figure out the best way to print them.

    Erik Mona's Lo-Fi Experience System

    Darn good question. In the case of outsiders, I usually consider them by the alignment in the MM, because they are representations of those alignments (imho). The same applies for undead. For divine casters, since they channel the power of thier faith, they use the alignment of the higher...

    What spells do you get tired of seeing wizard players take? Cliche's, etc.

    If the player is having fun with the standard spells, who are you to tell him he's wrong? That's the one I'll never get about some GMs. They go out of thier way to interfere with the one and only thing a player has control over, his character. Don't you have enough control with the rest of...
