The bard can comprehend languages, has a vast amount of knowledge (reflecting an unusual education), moderate combat abilities and the capacity for public speaking (instead of performance).

<t>I prefer the cromagnon type since in my games orcs become Wendols (13th Warrior movie), that is, some kind of neanderthal brutes.<br/> <br/> However, when it comes solely to minis, the pig-headed orc (Gamorhean type) is great, and if I see one in the LGS I will buy it! On the other hand, I don't ...

<t>I am really not convinced by this class. First it appears underpowered, then I would rather use the Knight class to portray nobles (at least in traditional medieval settings). Also, why a noble wouldn't be a cleric (in the middle-age important ecclesiastics were often of noble origin) or a wizard...

<t>This is an excellent question IMO. There is a long thread on ENworld (this thread about demographics), that provides interesting food for thought on this subject.<br/> <br/> My opinion is that the arms race about levels between PCs and foes, distorts what would be a coherent view of a "believable...

<t>I am not concerned with Paizo doing their own version of D&D3.5, since I have discarded it. So, I won't care about any 3.75 out there, as much as I won't care about any 4e. What I would like to see is publishers producing more systemless material (adventures, settings, etc.), so players can u...

<t>I think I will do this for Mithral:<br/> <br/> 1) Looks like silver, costs 5 to 10 times as gold.<br/> <br/> 2) Same hardness as iron (so doesn't give special non-magical bonuses to weapons and armors).<br/> <br/> 3) Much lighter than iron (half the weight)<br/> <br/> 4) Like gold, mithral is tas...

Yamo wrote: However, since the entry says that the armor is made of mithril, is it also intended that I should add the nonmagical +5 bonus described in the main mithril description a few pages earlier? First printing of MT p.89 has a typo there. It reads "Adamantine armor..." instead of &...

<t>Gandalf is not from a D&D world, he certainly uses a sword, but also doesn't cast fireballs or teleportation around. In fact, looking at what he does (for exemple: Turn Balrog), in D&D terms he would be best represented as a cleric. <br/> <br/> For your player I would instead suggest to m...

Is this supposed to be satirical? Personally I didn't find much to laugh at. Just me though.

Ditto. I didn't find it funny, despite I have nothing against making fun of Tolkien.

Turanil, have you used this service before? Do you know anybody that has?

No, sorry. Just saw this on the internet... (But when I win the lottery, I will send all my minis to them for painting. )

About plate armors inducing penalties to dexterity and movement, let me just post this wiki info on amors where it says: Quote: "While it looks heavy, a full plate armour set could be as light as only 20 kg (45 pounds) if well made of tempered steel. This is less than the weight of modern comba...

Just curious: did you ever see inmates playing pen and paper RPGs? I guess it's unlikely, but curious nonetheless.

If the gaming store has C&C printed stuff, I will prefer the LGS. However, most rpg things I buy are small PDFs products a LGS is not likely to sell. So, most of my gaming money won't go to the LGS.
