Quote: Same reason it was done in 1E and 2E. It always amazes me that so many people never understood, or liked if they did understand, the different xp requirements for the classes. I think it is a far more "real" way to balance the classes rather than make them all equally "super&q...

The Midnight campaign setting looks cool as hell (after all, Dante did portray the depths of hell as being cold )!

Quoted from WotC (supposedly an official answer) : Quote: Q: A human assassin sneaks into a nobleman's bedroom.

Quote: For a while now, I've tried to convert my old half-giant gladiator from Dark Sun to 3e. Long story short, the task was nigh-impossible since a) half-giants in 3e aren't anything like the Dark Sun version and b) his psionic wild talents didn't convert well without giving him several levels of...

Quote: I must say you have really improved the lay out of your rules. Much "cleaner" I think is the best way to sum it up. Thanks, the bookmarked table of contents and titles were a much needed addition to my file. Quote: Have you had anyone play a Necromancer yet? The reason I am asking ...

<t>The Improved Invisibility spell doesn't bother me one bit since it has a 1 tn + 1 rd/lvl duration and it's also a 4th level spell. Powerful spell effects are to be expected from level 7+ casters.

Is this spell abused in your games because of its permanent duration? It sounds incredibly potent to me for a 2nd level spell.

Is there any hope or is it expected to be released in 2008+?

<t>How do you guys handle your players' discovery pace for the effects of their new found magic items without relying on the Identify spell? Do you reveal their effects as soon as they are worn/used or do you keep them secret for longer periods and leave it to trial/error?<br/> _________________<br/...

CS, I don't think The Grey Elf is going to let it go anytime soon. Go back to work!

I've added size effects in my house rules but I think Gribble pretty much covered what is to be found in the PHB.

<t>1. From what I understand, they are rebuked instead of turned which would mean that they will cower from the evil cleric but won't flee. I don't know if I would allow an evil cleric to benefit from a bonus to his rebuking attempt though. As for the example in the PHB, good point (it sounds like e...
