Common sence...let's see...is that a class-skill or cross-class-skill???

An epic-level feat for the Gamer epic prestige class.

Strangely it's the only class with a BAB that gets lower as you take more levels.
However, its Ultimate Curmudgeon and Whine on Message Board abilties are really overpowered. C'mon WotC! :\

Actually, it's the only class that decrease one point in an ability score every 4 levels.

Seeing Skip go is the end of and era. I will miss him since he was around when I got inro D&D. But I'll reserve judgement on Andy until I see how he does...Although I do have my reservations....

I've been skipping sage advice for a long time, but I think it's time to start up again. Everything Andy Collins says about game design is comedy gold.

What formula?

Dwarves, if given a -2 Dex instead of Cha, should get a +4 Con because Con's not that powerful...

i don't believe you are wrong.

Actually, IIRC Jean Wells wrote some of the first Sage Advice columns, though Gary may have predated her.

edit: looks like Melan beat me to the punch

i believe Jean was very short lived in the role.

maybe partly why her version of B3 (the one written and illustrated without help) was so interesting.....
