Got my PHB3

[coyote6]

how strange - that is the *exact* rationale I used for psionics in my 3e campaign nearly a decade ago!

It's also the same reason I used for supers emerging in an M&M game I ran a few years ago, where the PCs were the world's first superheroes. Great minds, what?

I think I've already read everything I was interested in about PHB3.

How are the Dungeon tiles? How does the 3d stuff work, and what components in the set are 3d? How many outdoor tiles does it have?

Maybe you could also post small images of the tiles like the ones in Thanee's thread...

Is there still that feat that allowed the goring charge as an OA at will?

Not that I see by just going through the feat tables.

A bit more about the shardminds (or crystalfolk, as I seem to want to call them), if you please. Do they come in different colors (or change color, like a mood ring)? What are they like, culturally? Racial personality traits?

It doesn't talk about the color options but I see no reasons why they couldn't. They do have an inn er light that they can turn off to hide and the picture has a consistent color scheme between the two drawn. They are logical, emotionally distant, naive to the ways of society. I'm not sure they have much of a culture, though they do mostly have a drive to rebuild the Living Gate.

I'll see about opening it up this weekend when I have more time.

do we already know if you can wield a superior implement in your offhand and still benefit from its superior properties when attacking with your mainhand implement?

Doubtful, it doesn't say anything about allowing it.

I have a set of harrowing Halls tiles.

Two sheets have all the 3D elements. The other four sheets depict house interiors. There is an 8x8 tile with a small round tower on one side, the other a big wooden floor. The other 8x8 tile depicts a manor entrance and the other side a festhall with a big U table.

The two 4x8 tiles show a barracks, kitchen, bar and open floor space.

The four 4x4 tiles show a small dining room, a lounge with two sofas, a small office, a bedroom, a front entrance and two empty rooms.

There is one 2x8 tile with empty floor space on one side and rope bridge with the standard gray flagstones on the other side.

The 2x4 tiles are small empty rooms and empty floorspace. One tile is a small bathroom with a bathtub.

The 2x2 tiles are empty floorspace on one side, the other sides show a doublesided fireplace, a small table with four chairs and a magic circle.

4e's reason for psionics

It is in response to the first invasion of the Far Realm. Either it is energies from the Far Realm that has changed people or it is this realities response to the Far Realm and getting rid of it. There is a small theme of psionics defending the world against the threats of the Far Realm.

Interesting. I guess the credit for this one goes to Bruce Cordell, Mr Psionics at WotC, who not only produced some pretty good source material for the Far Realm in Dragon #330 (on my desk in front of me now, thanks to this thread), but wedded Psionics to the Far Realm* in his work for Malhavoc Press.

* sort of. It's referenced more generically, as the plane/realm of dreams/nightmares.

Close, the pact is with Wizards of the Coast. They send me review items.

I was hoping the difference in gravity between Ohio and where I live was how you were two weeks ahead of me (time being relative and all that).

I would like to know if Zuoken's Centering is in the book, and if so, is it Githzerai only?
