[QUOTE="Delemental, post: 2534344, member: 5203"] Wow, lots of questions to answer! Better sit down to a Meal-in-a-Pill before I start in on this... there, done. It's still compatible, though of course if you plan to use 6E to play in either V:tS or W:tP, bear in mind that 6E does not come bundled with a month's supply on methangstphetamines, as do the WW products. Though some don't care, WW purists insist that it lessens the RP experience without them. As for the trials, there is an oblique mention on page 1344. They reprinted the old classic "silly somatic component" cartoon (where the wizard is dancing around beating himself with a cane), but the letters "UNCTC" (which stands for United Nations Court of Thought Crimes, of course) are now emblazoned on the wizard's robes. 1. Yes, you are. And it's now 53 novels, though to spare you from having to trudge through novel #51, [I]Drizzt Experiences Intestinal Discomfort[/I], I'll just tell you now that the keyword in that book is "purge". 2. Well, if you can't find it on AmazEbay, you might be able to find a copy by going to a local parish of the Church of the Two Scimitars, though likely the Salvatori monks who preside over the sacred libraries would have purged all the raunchy sex scenes. That might be easier, actually, since according to the last census the Drizzt cultists outnumbered Presbyterians. 3. Unfortunately, the release of both Wraith and Changeling were delayed due to technical problems at White Wolf's satellite offices. Something with the gyroscopic stabilizers nearly causing re-entry. Personally, I think it's just a cover for another internal shake-up. 1. The Oghaelome is no longer a player race in the core rules. However, it was just announced that Necromancer Games ("Sixth Edition Rules, Fourth Edition Feel") was given permission to include it in an upcoming product. 2. Well, given that Gr:):):):):):) is now a forbidden topic, I can't confirm or deny such rumors. I will say that the rumor does keep popping up, and from some very interesting sources. It could be that with Elminster already ported over to Eberron as a Warforged Ninja, WotC felt that importing another cross-realm archmage so soon would seem unoriginal. . The SRD4 has already been updated. In fact, they've already posted version 6.15. As for the Rand system... well, I'd best not get started on that old debate. Last thing we need is another "Rand sux/Rand rules" flamewar around here, and the last thing I need is for the mods to have to disturb Morrus in his hermetically sealed vault so he can give me another CoC warning. As for bonuses, yes. They have devoted a full 50 PPE to the subject, complete with charts, diagrams, and a little AI robot that looks like Lidda that will sit on your shoulder and help you figure it out, and will tease you if you do it wrong. THe advice she's already given me on calculating bonuses that "agree to disagree" has been invaluable. And while I understand your argument about flavor, the truth is that it does speed up gameplay.
