    Spellless paladins and rangers. Bonus feats worth giving up spellcasting?

    It's just another option. Of course the problem I had with the CW spell-less Paladins/Rangers is that they're swapping out access to spells for spell-like abilities. "Gee, I'm not really casting magic!"

    Spellless paladins and rangers. Bonus feats worth giving up spellcasting?

    To use them when you're wearing Medium or Heavy Armor (or load heavier than light). But at that point your Weapon Style becomes redundant.

    Spellless paladins and rangers. Bonus feats worth giving up spellcasting?

    It might be worth giving up depending on what you roll for ability scores. I mean the Paladin needs a bunch of good stats as it is. Forgetting about Wisdom (or at least settling for a 10) in favor of Str, Con, and Cha is okay.

    Complex underpowered magic items in Magic Item Compendium

    Clarification: Relics work as is as long as you're within one step of the deity's alignment (you don't even need to worship them). It's the deity-specific special ability that you need to worship the appropriate deity and have either the spell slot or feat to qualify for it. As for item levels...

    Complex underpowered magic items in Magic Item Compendium

    Re: Augment Crystals At first glance, they do seem powerful for their costs and the fact that they're interchangeable. Here's some notes I have on them though: 1) If they're cheap, they were designed that way. If you listened to the recent Podcast interview (which does cover IMC), augment...

    Experiences with Psionics in 3rd (and 3.5) Edition

    3.0 Psionics Handbook watch out mainly for the elaborate Psionic Combat Modes, especially Mind Blast (+8 to DC if I remember correctly to flat-footed non-Psionic characters). Expanded Psionics Handbook a great accessory =) As Merric said though, if you're just having 1 encounter/day, psionic...

    Mouseferatu unable to get to EN World?

    I suggested to Mouseferatu to try switching DNS (http://www.opendns.com) but it doesn't work so it's probably a problem with his IP address being blocked (since he can access the site from his mother's computer/house).

    Ravenloft: Dominion - aka Ravenloft novels outside Ravenloft

    Hope Ari doesn't mind me cutting and pasting some of the inquiries regarding the novel: The Monkey King: Oh, that sounds a-MAZ-ing! Congrats on such a fun premise and period. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Given the amount of AQ I wrote, though, you'll have to forgive me if I cheer a...

    Ravenloft: Dominion - aka Ravenloft novels outside Ravenloft

    From Ari's livejournal post, he couldn't access EnWorld for the past week. So until that's resolved, we won't be hearing from hin anytime soon (hopefully I'm wrong!). He replies to inquiries at his lj: http://mouseferatu.livejournal.com/473545.html

    Enough with the PDF table of contents already!

    1) The text is barely readable. In my computer screen, I can read it, yes, but with difficulty. A PDF lets me zoom in/out without degradation of quality (unlike jpegs which gets pixelized). 2) Content size (i.e. lots of text vs little text) is irrelevant when it comes to file sizes -- it's the...

    Enough with the PDF table of contents already!

    There's a difference between a 9 x 11 inch (my estimates) book and a 1200 pixel screen. The former will take up more space than what you just did. Of course having said that, it's by my estimate you can keep the file under 1 MB if the resolution is around 100 dpi. But my issue is that you still...

    Enough with the PDF table of contents already!

    Yes, that's true. The only other way to show the table of contents (complete with layout) is to convert the pdf file into a JPG, although for the text to be readable, this would need to be a huge jpg (in terms of occupying space in your monitor).

    2nd & 3rd level Prestige Classes?

    Back in 3.0, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes and Iron Will were Fighter bonus feats so you could take the class at 2nd-level if you were a 1st-level Human Fighter. Actually Forsaker was a class you wanted to take as early as possible as its value deteriorated at higher levels (when you'll...

    2nd & 3rd level Prestige Classes?

    In Races of Stone there's the Stoneblessed which you can qualify after 2nd-level. Basically makes you the "adopted son" of either a dwarf, gnome, or goliath, gaining some of their racial abilities. Would I like to see more? Sure, if it fits the flavor. (The Stoneblessed and Master Specialist in...

    Previews for May and Beyond is up

    I'm more of neutral in my stance when it comes to classed monsters -- doesn't appeal to me but I can see the situations wherein it helps (helps time-constrained GMs get monsters, etc.). I can also see where it helps in terms of actual layout of the page (so that each monster entry exactly...

    What Would You Get From This Pile?

    Okay, that's great. It's a better method. =) Will try to obtain the modules/boxed sets and inquire about the shipping next week. My Saturday will be consumed by a 14-hour concert we're organizing so...

    What Would You Get From This Pile?

    I have the money and the space if you just want one of each. Don't know what the owner is asking for everything though. You can ask her when you drop by. =) Grodog seems to be getting a bunch of the boxed stuff though. P.S. Somebody should educate me on how Western Union works. =)
