Several months have passed since you've seen a post about a new issue of Knowledge Arcana. There are many reasons for this, some pretty, some ugly. Generally, though, the delays have been a result of two things: 1) negotiations over KA's place in a Gleemax-centered world over at WotC, and 2)...

Sorry, this is totally off the cuff and hasn't been thought through... What if, for each class, the benefits for gaining a level were the same as every other level? In other words, a fighter would always get, say, +1 BAB, +1 Fort save, +1/4 Ref save, +1/4 Will save, +2 skills, and +1 fighter...

Everyone, Some of you are interested in KA, others aren't (some don't know what it is--it is a community-run magazine for WotC products, but, it could turn into something more). I encourage you to read and consider the following threads. http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=937351...

I was thinking that, while someone with a high Charisma might be able to Bluff his way out of a situation, or be particularly Diplomatic, I was also thinking that a smart enough person might be able to accomplish a similar feat (pardon the equivocal use of that term), or a wise enough person...

I understand the change in DR X/magic from 3.0 to 3.5, but, I'm curious what others have found. Dragons, for instance, tend to get DR to magic at some point. And, at that point, it's almost impossible that the party lacks magic weapons. I'm not really sure what the point is in having DR...

From the New York Times website: At least 22 people were killed today, some of them students, and more were injured during shootings at Virginia Tech, some of them in a classroom on the campus, the police said. The gunman was also shot to death, officials said at a news conference, but details...

Yay! Issue 9 (filled with some April Fools goodness, a little late), is out. Articles from D&D to DDM to A&A to Magic and lots more. http://wizo.wizards.com/ka/ Dave

It has been my contention, pretty much since the ELH came out, that there was a better way to handle epic spells. In fact, I've pretty much always had 10th and higher level spells in my own campaign, and, while I've tried to make epic spells work to that end, it hasn't worked so well. I have a...

Combat Maneuverability Prerequisites: BAB +6, Dex 15 Benefit: You may replace any of your iterative attacks with a 5-foot step. This can only take the place of an interative attack (i.e. if you have two attacks from Flurry of Blows, or two weapon fighting, or any other reason, this feat doesn't...

The thread on paladins making magic items got me to thinking about another issue. I thought about tweaking their spell progression by turning the capacity to cast paladin spells into feats. This has probably already been covered by someone else, but here's what spontaneously popped out of my...

Everyone, Knowledge Arcana continues with its 60+ page format. Issue 7 was a D&D themed double-sized issue, and now, with the 8th issue, we're sticking to the larger page-count. Enjoy! Dave

Edit: Some minor changes have been made, so a few of the following posts won't be entirely accurate regarding certain points. How outrageous would this curse be? (As per the Bestow Curse spell.) You have a rusting touch. Each iron (or iron-composed) item you own that you touch takes damage...

Which feats, in your view, that currently do not allow stacking, would not be broken if stacking were allowed? For example, in a campaign I've been running since 3.0, I've allowed the three saving throw feats to be taken multiple times and having the effects stack. But, in all that time, and...

Everyone, The promised full-size maps for the adventure in issue 7 are now available for download. They're a bit on the hefty size (together they're around 55 meg), but they're worth it. You can find them here on the right side of the page, beneath the thumbnail of the issue. Dave

All, Please take a moment to go take a look at Knowledge Arcana's latest issue. Issue 7 is a special double-sized, D&D-themed issue. We have a full adventure in the issue (excellently themed for Halloween), and lots and lots of other goodies. There's even a nice (and long) interview with Ari...

Well, it's not Halloween, but the timing isn't too bad. Maybe I'll wait a few days to post again. :D Dave

Here's my little pre-release blurb for the magazine. First, KA7 is a double-issue and it's D&D themed. The magazine should hit the virtual shelves at the end of the week (around the 20th, I'd guess). I have a pretty good sense of what's in it and here's what I'm 99% certain of: 1) A full...

I'm holding the Epic Drizzt. I figured I'd post in General as it's a GenCon news item even more than it's a minis fanatic item. Cost 235 points Commander 5 Level 13 Speed 8 AC 23 HP 150 Melee +19/+19/+14 (15 magic + 5 cold) Com. Ef: same as non-epic Warband building: same as non-epic...

Howdy folks, Knowledge Arcana's 6th issue, as well as KA's redesigned site, is now up! http://wizo.wizards.com/ka/ There are articles from A&A to D&D to why the dinosaurs really went extinct. Want to see the Colossal Red Mini on the gaming table? Turn to page 36. Enjoy. Oh, and issue 7...

Knowledge Arcana magazine is always on the lookout for submissions. Issue 5 is currently available (see my sig), issue 6 will be released shortly, and issue 7's deadline is upon us (issue 7 is a special D&D-themed issue). As our number of downloads per issue continues to climb nicely, we see a...
