Perhaps, "4 days of adventure"? A Gen Con kick off?

Thanks for the suggestion, Vascant.

I like that idea-it sounds feasible and it would put off the inevitable(but will 4e suck or soar?)

A new monster: 4e-the suckorsoarus

(damn!I did it again)

i have a beef with throwing out "turn undead".
i don't mind trading it in for equally powerful abilities by individual clerics but it seems to me that most gods, as representatives of 'the natural order of things' should be outraged by undead and want to return them to their graves as a matter of course...

We're not actually throwing it out. I can see how it could look that way, though. We're basically turning it into a feat which you can select for free. So, those who want it can select it (and you can build a normal PHB cleric) and those who want something a bit different can select one of the other divine feats that already exist and are powered by turn undead attempts. That way, any cleric of any god could still have turn/rebuke undead, but if they wanted something a bit different, they could. We're doing the same thing with spontaneous cure/inflict spells. You can choose that, or to spontaneously cast spells from one of your domains.

oh,well that's alright, then

-wouldn't Olidammara approve of a cleric with sneak attack?-

Sorry to interrupt with a grammar / usage note, but it WAS asked for.

Regarding "correct" past tense usage: Coup de grace is a noun. Now, while most words in English, even SAE, allow for differentiation in part of speach, coup de grace is still French and not SAE. It can ONLY be used correctly as a noun. Thus there is no correct past tense usage for coup de grace.

One could say, "the BBEG broke out da WHOOP ARSE and "performed" a coup de gracey on dat sunovabich wit a Sphere of Annihilation!" But not "couped de grace" or "coup de graced."

-W. E. Ray

i agree but I'm still wondering if anyone has a more realistic yet game balanced rule for'stepping on the neck' of a helpless enemy---maybe Torn Asunder:critical hits by bastion press has the answer I seek...

Uhhh, I don't mean to call you guys historically challenged, but I think Hyboria predated The Mongols by about 10,000 years, so...Conan said it first.

Query: why waste a spell on a coup de grace when you can step on their neck?

correct me if I'm wrong but that doesn't look like an autokill

maybe unrealistic but i believe this is the RAW

Ooh! iPhone! How is it?

Oh, and 8 Pages? Do we all really have this much time on our hands that we can turn a three page argument with a troll into an eight page discussion about whatever pops into our heads?

iPhone and apple stock nearing the $200 mark-2 more signs of the impending Omega Culmination....oh yeah, and the increasingly frequent births of 2-headed walruses...with great cleave as a free feat....coocoocachoo

In college, some of my friends would actually do that whole, "Greetings! It's a..." roll d20... "PLEASURE to meet you!" It had started to evolve into a fairly convoluted system by the time I graduated.

Steve Buscemi wears purple socks. The cosmos is a masterpiece of interconnected oddities. We call this weave The Freaky Spiral Quilt, and sometimes Giggidy.

"F$%^c it, dude. Let's go bowling."

here is part 3 of the episode featuring GG, Nichele Nichols, Stephen Hawking, and Al Gore (yes those are really their voices)

CLick Here!

you can watch part 1 and 2 first if you like-the Gygaxian part is in number 3

there once was a gnoll from Verdun
His fur was ochre and dun
he didn't know why
He must post on the fly
But eventually his wit became fun

In addition to his upcoming picture in Dragon #359, he's also got a picture in Dungeon #150.

Basically... start with a scorpion. Put three stingered tails where his head should be, stretch out his body and add a bunch of legs, then where the scorpoion's tail should be, put three vaguely skull-like faces with a vertical mouth running down the middle and add a long red tongue with a stinger at the end.

YAY for existing-and the number 9(but 6 and 9 are so cute together!)

Here is the image from the Fiendish Codex that some of the Paizo team wrote.

kiss me goodbye
pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i try
swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"the shallow drowned lose less than we"
you breathe the strangest twist upon your lips
"and we shall be together..."

"kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me"
and face pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips and dissapear
the ripples clear and laughing break
against your feet and laughing break the mirror sweet
"so we shall be together..."

"kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep
it's lower now and slower now the strangest
twist upon your lips but i don't see and i dont
feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes and in my eyes your
smile the very last thing before i go...

i will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you
forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will
kiss you and we shall be together...

It's really gnarly just like the description in the adventure. Look it up in Fiendish Codex 1 or send me an email at sayler3003atyahoo.com and I'll send you a pdf

Page 6? Am that not where people from country with bad teeth put up pictures of half naked women for men not to look at? Me visit country with bad teeth often, so me am not knowing.

Bought it last night from the Paizo store. Loved Wolfgang's editorial and interview with Erik the most. Not that the rest wasn't very cool. It's very old school looking. Very reminscent of the early days of Dungeon and Dragon magazines in a whole lot of ways.

I look forward to the future of KQ. It's got a great editor at the helm with some of the best writers in the biz already submitting stuff to him and ready to lend a hand at making it great.

ok - I just now read Rich's announcement from 7/7/07 and He's definitely got my prayers. Russ, leave the guy alone! You may be right that his business may suffer and that is bad enough so don't give him extra grief. We need to support professional artists as much as possible because the world is in a sad state when art is valued less than war. Maybe we can help by sharing information about alternative and/or complementary therapies that can help even with "incurable' conditions. Rich, if you're reading this check out http://www.zeropointresearch.com/

!!!

Here's a fanboi/carebear idea for ya:

Why don't we all(and by we I mean as many thousands of people as possible) check oots every day at least once and pray that Rich is well. If there is a new comic we will know that we helped him with our prayers!

seriously, i think it would be cool if people had a positive thought like that when clicking. It's much better than " let's see if the bastrad managed to get out of bed today"
( is it ok to say bastrad on these board?-you know like a bastrad sword?)

The sad thing is that even with the combat pad, i still skip players sometimes! OOps! I'm lucky they love me.

Seriously,it's a great product that has improved my game and I'm sorry others are having to wait to get it.

Oh . . . Bizzarro not really excited thinking about energizer bunny and care bears!

Bizzarro also not chagrined at all that he accidentally put extra z in his name when registering for the boards. Bizzarro not relieved at all that no one point this out yet.

Bizzarro not confused because him own head Bizzarro voice sound like Grimlock from Transformers. Bizzarro not need to spend more time developing his internal monologue.

Another option (for sleeping in armor, anyway), is the Restful Crystal, also from the MIC. 500 GP and your armor crystal slot gets you the ability to sleep in any type of armor without being fatigued.

And you can switch the crystal out when not sleeping.

I meant that in terms of being cleared of blame or suspicion as is " I can see how you might have been confused"; not in terms of being proven correct.

Sometimes angry people(wether justified or not ) just need to feel heard.

My wife was looking at a Chaos Gnome from the Races of Stone book for her next character. Unfortunately they are a +1 LA and I would like to avoid that if possible. I was thinking of taking off the +2 Con bonus and instead adding -2 Wis and maybe removing the bonus to Chaos spells. Do people think that's enough to make it a +0 LA?

sounds OK to me

if, however, you feel you need a further disadvantage to balance the mechanics, a -2 to will saves would reflect the chaotic nature of the race...

Anyone know when Jubilex--which I remember from 1st edition--became Juiblex, and why the spelling change? Just curious why the "b" and "i" got transposed.

It was always Juiblex. I just checked my AD&D 1st Ed. MM.

The letter combination is not a common one in English, so it's pretty easy to read it incorrectly.

While I don't own the 1st ed. MM any longer, I don't believe my memory is that bad. There are other products that listed it as "Jubilex" (e.g., Monster Mythology/1992 by Carl Sargent), as well as a reference in Polyhedron #43 (article "New Rogues Gallery: Hodgepodge" about 4 NPCs waging a war against Jubilex).

Doug, I wonder if your copy of the MM is a later printing? I can't explain it...I suspect a chronomancer holed up at Tovag Baragu has been having a laugh at us all...

"Isn't he an evil god of insects and plague mentioned in Ghostwalk?"

Well, 2 geek points for Google for knowing the answer and 1 for me for having looked it up...
