Not sure I agree with the 3.75 out of 5.0 score. The minis are all high quality. You know what you are buying ahead of time, so it's not like you are going to get blind-sided with randomly packaged minis you don't want or need. I'd give them a score of 4.0 or 4.5, with a 5.0 score reserved for...

Looking thru the Complete Warrior book, something doesn't make alot of sense. There is a feat called Sharp Shooting that says that opponents who have cover against your ranged attack only get a +2 bonus to AC instead of +4. But... in the Players Handbook (3.5) Improved Precise Shot eliminates...

What is the consensus on the Wiz/Sor spell WEB? Is it too powerful? So far it seems to totally hose the bad guys everytime it's used. The DC20 Str check it near impossible to make, and the PC's all break out missile weapons, followerd by burning the monsters stuck deeper in the web by setting...

First, does anyone know if Skeleton Key Games is still in business? Thier website is still up, but doesn't look like it's been updated in a while. Second, I just downloaded all thier free dungeon tiles (which are awesome, BTW), I'm just wondering how I should proceed with them. I printed...

For those of you who like Dwarven Forge Master Maze pieces, check out the Mystic Blocks site here: http://home.comcast.net/~drakedavis1/index.htm These look great, and they seem to be MUCH cheaper than DF stuff. I ordered a couple of pieces just to check them out. If they are any good, I...

Anyone point me to online retailers that sell Dwarven Forge products. Mostly looking for individual pieces, not the big expensive boxes (I have enough of those! ). Thanks!

Who here is in Houston Texas? I'm supposed to be flying there tomorrow, but I hear there is a hurrican about to hit. Is it going to be a big pain in the butt to be there during all that or will it be no big deal since Houston is so far inland? Im thinking of postponing my trip if its gonna be...

How can i keep my mailman from bending the crap out of this issue in order to try to get it to fit in my apartment mailbox??? Am I going to end up having to buy a second copy in the shops to make sure my screen is not destroyed???

I just saw this new module in the stores (Midnight: Crown of Shadow"). Anyone picked this up yet? I couldnt find any reviews for this anywhere. Just wondering if it is any good, is it useable in a non-Midnight campaign, etc.

For a cool Half-Orc Monk miniature Check out... Crucible 91-211 "Orc Outcasts (2)" It is a very muscular orc with foot and wrist wraps, and a "loin-cloth" like shorts. One fist is outstretched foreward, the other is bent at the elbow and close to the body pointing upwards and near the head...

*Toughness [General] You gain 4 additional Hit Points, and a +5% toughness bonus to your roll to stabalize when dying. *Improved Toughness [General] Prereq.: Toughness You gain +1 hit point per character level (or Hit Die) retroactively. You gain a +10% toughness bonus to your roll to...

Metamagic Mastery [Metamagic] When you use a Metamagic Feat on a spell that causes you to use a spell slot higher than the spell normally would use, you may reduce the spell slot level by one. Example, Quicken Spell normally uses a spell slot 4 levels higher than the spell normally would use...

I read in the new Dragon mag (and a few other places) that in D&D 3.5, the Endurance feat will now also allow a character to sleep in Light or Medium armor without being fatigued the next day. (Fatigue = -2 Str & Dex, cannot run or charge). This sounds nice... but, looking thru the 3.0 PHB, it...

I'm working on a new campaign, and I want to tweak the character creation rules a little. Normally, I like the PCs to start off at 1st level. For stats they can roll 3d6 six times and arrange the scores to thier abilities. If they are not satisfied with thier ONE chance of rolling 3d6 x 6...

First of all is this rules legal? 1st level Spellcaster casts True Strike on himself, next round he takes a 5' step and attacks with his quarterstaff in an attempt to disarm a 5th level fighter with a long sword. Second, is this a "cheesy" combo that goes against the spirit of the True...

I have been pondering a whole slew of house rules for my campaign. During this process, I recalled that VERY FEW cantrips are ever used in combat. Even the low level spell casters usually have better things to do than cast any cantrips. How often have PC's (or NPC's for that matter) used...

Why must there be fiction in Dragon magazine? I'm not argueing about the quality of any of the fiction that has been published. Just the reason it is included in a "Dungeons & Dragons" magazine. There are many, many, many outlets for fiction and short stories. Anyone looking for fantasy...

I've been reading thru the witchfire trilogy modules lately, and I'm a little foggy on one of the main plot points for the first module "The Longest Night". If the Iron Kingdoms accept Wizards and Clerics and such, why is "Witchcraft" illegal? What constitutes "Witchcraft"? Is being a Sorcerer...

I know this has been debated many many times, but what was the final verdict? Can you use Expertise and Fight defensively in the same round? Dodge bonuses DO stack. I think no, but what is the semi-official verdict, if one exists?
