Dragon #354

bah, not so scary - the way some fellows drool over the female drow, it's just as well if she has a little fun with boy-toy eye candy.

Yeah, there's really no difference between the male and females when it comes to lusting over fantasy figures. My wife thinks yuan-ti are sexy (the purebloods mainly, of course) and she had a dream of a handsome half-red dragon/half-human figure. Strange dreams that one gets when she sleeps. LOL

I liked the art in the modron article, but it's not going to do much to convince people who think modrons are silly-looking that they aren't. The artist was going for whimsical rather than "stern beings of perfect Law."

Well, for the base modrons anyway. The hierarch modrons ought to look sterner.

The image of Regulus on the article's opening splash page is gorgeous, however, and should impress anyone.

I agree.

Oh yeah, so far I've seen 3 of the 5 grails.

they certainly did in 1E.

I like the artist for the modrons, very Tony D in look which she says she based it on - but I've seen her other stuff on D.Art - her work should get used more and more often as far as I'm concerned.

I just got the issue but I'm disappointed with the stats of the exiled modron. It has Level adjustment +1 but I can't for the life of me figure out why. It has several disadvantages, such as slow reactions (it remains flat footed for the first round of combat) and no corresponding powers to make up for it. Can anyone say why they are LA +1?

That was my reaction as well. The Exile should have no level adjustment.

 

[Nightfall]

Maybe because they gain the living construct trait? Who knows?

I'm still upset over the reply in #355 about the Hierarch Modrons. Their whole "if, but most likely not" answer to doing them. I sure would like to know the point of being teased with the Base Modrons with no looking forward to the rest of the race.

That was like Fiend Folio 3E leaving out the other three of the rilmani. :\ I say if you do an outsider race, do all the ones from 2E before moving on. You'll just get a lot of disappointments if you don't.

Is it the idea that all races (except those that slip through the cracks) that could give a mental ability score bonus require at least a +1 LA? That is what happened to the Blue in XPH, to my disappointment.
