Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 6058324" data-attributes="member: 27780">Dragon Issue 300: October 2002part 10/10Sage advice: Can I be a human cleric of bahamut (Yes, actually. He's progressive.)Do greater deities do everything perfectly. (Almost. They still don't always crit. Small mercy though.)How do you stat out your own deities. (Read the book, follow the formulae. )Where do paladins of helm get their spells from (Good question. There is some definite metaphysical drama there. ) What's the point of voice of the siren (Even more bonuses. Rockaroo. )How many domains does an oracular adept have (The usual. You lose your old ones. Don't try and double up like a twinky monkey boy.)What happens if you get arcane domain spells (They're simply divine for you, pouffles.)How does slime wave work on large creatures (Lots of surface area = lots of suffering. Take that tarrasque down.)Does divine might take up an action and use up a turn attempt (no, yes)If a domain spell boosts caster level, can you use that to make powerful magic items ( Yes, at the usual extra cost.)Where in the roll do you apply turn resistance (All points. Break the powah!)Can command set someone up for a coup de grace (No. Self preservation is stronger than a puny 1st level spell.)Do you need a hand free for a divine focus. (No, you can just be wearing it. Isn't faith a wonderful thing. ) What's new has Dixie take charge, still on a heroic kick. Seems to be going pretty well for her at the moment. This issue is very disappointing indeed, especially when compared to the breakout experimentation of issue 100, and the turn everything up to 11 extravagance of issue 200. It makes it very clear how much more limited the topics they cover have become, and how much more formulaic the ways they approach them are. Top that off with the specific theme being approached in a manner that simply doesn't give it the gravity it needs, and you have a complete damp squib. Not one I have any real desire to come back too later. Let's hope that with the pressure off, the next issue won't choke quite so badly.</blockquote>
