I sort of found out by accident, but didn't believe it until I read it here. The world's worse off without him, but at least it can be said that he made an impact while he was here. I can honestly say I would not be the person I am today if not for E. Gary Gygax, and his passing has cut me to...

It has a duration of 2d4 rounds rather than permanent, so it would seem to me to be a penalty.

I'm 23... not that young, not that old. I feel adequately average.

This is a tricky one. I played my first few games at the houses of a couple friends in the late 80's, none of which really went anywhere. I had a couple more opportunities in Scouts in the early/mid 90's, but those didn't get much farther than writing up the character sheets (although in one I...

What about a variant on the Chink in the Armor feat in Song and Silence? I'm not familiar with the armor DR variant, but maybe halve the DR for anyone with the feat as long as they use a piercing and/or slashing weapon, possibly restricting to light weapons.

Another bonus for going the VoP route.

It means that warlocks are expected to have a starting alignment that is either chaotic or evil. Should the character have a change of heart or unfortunate mishap with a magic item, there is nothing to say that their abilities disappear or cannot be improved. I don't find the alignment...

Hmmm... I guess it is pretty much like Scorching Ray in that regard (and I wouldn't expect multiple sneak attacks in that case). I originally thought "no", looked over the description of Eldritch Chain, and changed my mind. I think I'll change it back. :)

Separate touch attacks are required for each target, so I'd say yes. The blast doesn't just jump from target to target like Chain Lightning, you aim it from target to target. I'd still apply the 50% damage penalty to the sneak attack damage though.

Cannot be changed as in you pick the persona when you choose this invocation or cannot be changed until you dismiss the illusion and recast the invocation?

Which brings into question the use of other metamagic feats which do not affect spell level. The Sudden feats are on page 83.

It only says that Warlocks are often chaotic or evil (or both), not that they have to be. I'm partial to chaotic neutral warlocks myself, but there shouldn't be a penalty if his (her? both?) alignment suddenly changes to something else. Any decision to the contrary would be a house rule.

Ahhhhhhhh... this was the part that threw me off: All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by one-half. The +1 (or what have you) is numeric but not variable.

It means you would roll 1d4, then add 50% of that, then add 1. For example, if you roll a 2 then your missle does 2+1+1=4 damage. If you roll a 1 then you do 1+0(round down)+1=2 damage.

I was just wondering about this myself, as I was considering the usefulness of Deflect Arrows to a rakshasa PC. I knew that it wasn't covered by the rules per say, but I was wondering what others would think of essentially the same house rule above.

I think arcane trickster sounds about right, but it kinda feels a bit obvious.

Rapid Stunning Benefit: You may use one additional stunning attack (or other special attack that counts against your daily limit of stunning attacks) per round. Normal: You may only attempt a stunning attack (or any other special attack that counts against your daily limit of stunning attacks)...

Hello. My name is Felonious Monk, and I'm a gamer geek. "Hi Felonious." It has been a long time since I've actually played a PnP RPG (about 10 years or so), and probably won't be able to again for a long time, if ever. Between work, school, and the baby I don't have the time to hunt down...
