Dragon Magazine #318 not your typical April issue

[Ranger REG]

Maybe Hollow World is just a cover for Eberron? Aren't there dinos in the new pulp noir fantasy setting?

All I know of Eberron environment is like "Dinotopia meets Dune" or "Morrowind meets The Lost World."

Got in the new Dragon #318 yesterday, but thanks to work and the auction just getting to see it now. The theme is Ninjas, Pirates, and Dinosaurs. This is not the typical humorous April issue.

These last two sentences are mutually contradictory.

Everyone who's been on realultimatepower.net knows that pirates are the greatest enemies of ninjas. But hippos are the ninjas' best friends.

I have to say I'd be much more excited about this issue if there was 11 extra OA pages, and no dinos. :\

 

[Douane]

BTW, ninja don't fight all the time. They spy.

Heretic!

Go and read Gez's link!

I should count my blessing that I have not visited realultimatepower.net. Thanks for the warning.

The Ninja - covering levels 1-20 (rogue BAB, d6 hd,, good Fort save, 6 skill points, +1 AC bonus at 5, 10 15 & 20th levels)

Ninjas ought to have d12 HD, fighter BAB, all good saves, 8+Int skill points, the unarmed combat, AC progression and speed of a monk, a ranger's fighting styles, a fighter's bonus feats and a rogue's uncanny dodge, sneak attack and evasion in order to be historically accurate.

For example:

Level BAB Fort Ref Will Special

1 +1 +2 +2 +2 Sneak attack +1d6, Unarmed damage +1d6, flurry of blows, bonus feat

3 +3 +3 +3 +3 Sneak attack +2d6, Unarmed speed bonus +10 ft.

Sounds like it might be useful for Hong. Our group is currently in Buccaneer's Den, which is full of pirates AND ninjae. We're beating up the ninjae at the moment.

Not to mention I'm using the OA classes and spell lists as well. Gotta get this issue.

So... Pirates and Ninjas?

I think a friend told me they were natural enemies, or something.

Maybe he was referring to this:

Wow, this will be the first issue ina while that I can't use something from.

I'll buy it anyway, of course. It must be mine!

Edit: Aha (or should that be ahar?), Pirates! NM
