I hadn't heard anything about it until I went into class on Wednesday and everyone was talking about it. I go to a bilingual campus in Toronto and so there were quite a few people from that area and it was very solemn. I read the paper later and felt sick to my stomach when I read about it. My condo...

Also from Gaz 1, the hit points for he Dire Raven are wrong. They are listed as: 1d8 (4) but the Dire Raven has a Constitution of 14 so it should be 1d8+2 (6).

Gazetteer 1: The Fortitude and Will saves for the Dire Raven are off. It should be +3 for the Will save (+3 Wis, +0 base because animals do not have a good Will save) and +4 for the Fortitude save (+2 Con, +2 Base as animals have good Fortitude and Reflex saves) Page 126. The Reflex and Will saves a...

Another problem with this system is that it adds a bunch more dice-rolling. I know that in my group, my players get so caught up in dice-rolling that it slows things down and it doesn't have the feel it should so I have made alternatives for it. For any other groups who do not like large amounts of ...

Here's a question. If you are illiterate, how does one become "literate"? How many skill points would it take, etc.
There is always the Literacy feat from Heroes of Light.

*Body Squeezing (Down the Tubes): 5th level Necromancy, target's the Caster, duration of 6 rounds +(1 round per two caster levels), witnessing the caster squeezing through a gap causes a Horror/Madness check. Why would a character take this spell when they could cast Shrink a few times or cast Dime...

Linguistically, in this case it is for emphasis so the line could read 'Seventh time the son of suns rises' and have the same meaning. Using 'doth' is just stylistic in this instance.

Many 'vampire experts', especially Dr. Bob Curran believe that vampires started out as an metaphor for sex and rape because you could not write about sex in the time of Bram Stoker. This fits with the neck as it is typically known as an errogenous zone. Also the idea of the mental dominance has some...

North American television has much more strict guidelines and as it stands, Hellsing Ultimate would have to be redone for North American audiences and it is not in anyones best interest that that happen. Kohta Hirano wants his story shown in a way that does justice to it and follows the manga. He do...

PHB II

Yes, the time for sequels is upon the Dungeons and Dragons community again. I was looking at the WotC website and it says we should expect Player's Handbook 2 next month. Here is the description: "A follow-up to the Player’s Handbook designed to aid players and provide more character options. T...
