    Imix and the fire grue

    Hello everyone. In Monster Manual 3, the entry for Imix and related cultists keep referring to fire grues. I can't find the fire grue stats anywhere (including the compendium), nor is there a correction in the errata. Am I overlooking something or are they missing?

    One kingdom protecting another sovereign kingdom - does this make sense?

    I was hoping to get some input on my homebrew regarding an area that I've been trying to work out and an idea I had - for now I'll call it the Northlands in this post. The Northlands are bordered by the kingdom of Bressia. Bressian cavalry is famed across the world. Bressia is also a vassal...

    [OT] Ultimate gaming family complete!

    On Thursday, Owen and Oliver were born. Along with their older brothers (also twin boys) Wressey and Jackson, I now have the ultimate gaming family! :) They've got at least 7 years or so to figure out who gets stuck with the cleric though...

    Are they fixing medium armor in the revision?

    Anyone know if they are fixing med. armor in the revision? It doesn't really have much of an effective purpose right now as far as I can see.

    New marilith/balor pictures

    http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rs/20030506a I assume the fiend pics at the bottom will be in the revised monster manual. What do you think of them? I think the balor is absolutely fantastic but the marilith just ruins the monster completely compared to how cool the 1e edition one was.

    Best magic system to represent numerous and diverse cultural occult traditions?

    I'm wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on how to implement various magical traditions without having to write up a dozen or more new classes or PRCs. Ideally there would be one alt.magic system that can capture this kind of thing with minimal effort. Basically, what I am...

    You've got links to pornography/erotic art on your main news page

    Is posting some of the links in the press release on this site (front page news, no less) even in keeping with the Eric's Grandmother policy? How come Anthony Valterra can post links to fetish erotic photography and I can't -- even if it was had a fantasy theme? I hardly think Eric's...

    Opposed checks - group versus individual

    How do most people handle group versus individual checks for opposed rolls? Here is how it seems would be the expected method to me. 1st Situation: The party rogue is trying to hid from a group of ten orcs. Method: The party rogue makes a hide check. The orcs make a collective spot check...

    Revised PHB allows you to build stronger, more balanced characters?

    http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=7705&mode=thread&order=0 What does this mean? What does "stronger" mean and why is it a marketing point?

    Strange but true animals

    A thread on the Lejendary Adventures board pointed out the existence of goblin sharks. What a strange creature! Perhaps some of the stranger creatures of our real world can inspire D&D monsters: http://www.postmodern.com/~fi/sharkpics/ellis/goblin.htm...

    Moving everything to skills -- BaB, saves, and armor class

    Has anyone considered making the system more streamlined by turning BaB, saves, and armor class into skills? If you wanted you could have a few categories: Combat Skills ----------------- Blades (str) Axes (str) Bludgeoning Weapons (str) Reach Weapons (str) Thrown Weapons (str) Unarmed (str)...

    Tower Shield and Shield Bearer

    I will have leadership soon. I wanted one of my minions to be my shield bearer. Basically, he will hold the tower shield while I shoot my bow from behind it. Since he is my shield bearer I would assume that I could have two hands free and fire my bow. Normally, my enemies would get the same...

    Where to submit scoops? Kenzer's "State of the Union"

    Where are scoops submitted these days? Dave Kenzer updated us on the state of affairs at Kenzer Co. as well as announcing a bunch of new products coming down the pipe: http://www.kenzerco.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=KalamarGeneral&Number=156857&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1

    FFG, Twisted Lore, Shapechanges, 3rev, oh my!

    Aren't shapechanges being changed to a subtype in 3e revised? Man, I really don't like this transitional period.

    Famine Spirit, Fatling, Corpulent - in poor taste or not?

    These creatures are all based on the concept of something indulging in gluttony to the point where they become massively obese. In the case of the corpulent PRC, as he increases in level he can absorb people into his giant belly and suffocate them. I think all of them are described as eating...

    Sundering armor?

    Does it make sense to attack someone's armor in an attempt to destroy it? Is it worth the bother? Any ideas on the hardness and hit points of armor types?

    Making combat move more -- pressing attack, lunge, losing ground, and the like

    D&D combat by default tends to sit in one place. What can be done to make it more like Erol Flynn versus Basil Rathbone fighting up and down the staircase in Robin Hood, or like the Dread Pirate Roberts' sword fight with Inigo Montoya? In fencing, I believe that you fight you tend to drive...

    Letting all players design their own custom classes

    The "what classes do you allow" thread started me thinking. I don't see why one wouldn't much allow pretty much anything as long as it fits the campaign setting and is balanced. Taking this one step further, has anyone tried freely letting players make their own classes? How did it work for...

    Anyone have Swashbuckling Arcana?

    This book isn't listed in the review section yet (although perhaps it's the same as Magic of Theah - which is listed as not released yet?). I browsed through it at my local store and it looked like a very interesting way to do magic -- full of great flavor and had some really great ideas for...

    Do you like the "edgy" 3e art style?

    Do you like the "edgy" 3e art style? Do you read comic books? I'm just testing for a correlation here.
