Yeah, EA's gonna destroy DICE for sure now.  Expect the company's next game to go much like ME:A did, and then EA goes on a feeding frenzy to salvage what they can and write off the rest.

Looks like DICE might be EA's next sacrificial goat to get destroyed by the company ...

I have long forgotten which thing EA did to get me to start boycotting them years ago, but that doesn't really matter, as they find reasons every year or two (or multiple reasons this year alone) to keep that boycott alive and well.

EA Fired Plants vs Zombies Creator for Refusing Microtransactions in Sequel

EDIT: Is it wrong that I kind of want some sort of congressional committee hearing regarding loot boxes, microtransactions and gambling?

This is the kind of crap that's why I still boycott EA.

I did look at them, but I've already got tons of dice, and 99% of my tabletop gaming nowadays is done via Maptool.

Unstable Unicorns  A card game where you build a stable of unicorns, and kill off the other players' unicorns.  5 days left to get in on it.

The Purify Spell metamagic lets you AoE with impunity, so long as your allies are also good.  And it does bonus damage to evil outsiders.

Aligned Spellcaster ACF is pretty good, too, if you have a familiar you can get rid of.

Just a little added perspective for point 10: I also remember a superhero story where the hero kept building newer and more powerful suits of power armour over and over and over, slowly assembling a massive collection that he eventually turned into a small autonomous army.  Each suit was obviously more powerful and expensive than the last, so that sounds exactly what he was describing.

(I'm referring to Iron Man, if you didn't guess)

Sine Tempore, a sci-fi boardgame centred around trying to prepare a planet for terraforming and colonization, but it's inhabited by a hostile alien species.  It's got some great looking character designs, and they're adding KS exclusive heroes that are a big nod to Spaceballs!

Are you thinking of Trapfinding rather than the much less useful Trap sense, Kethrian? So far other than one 12HD+5LA Fiend Folio Critter (Cuprilach) I don't think anyone's found a legal way that's not a class feature specifically.

Yep, I was.  Sorry.  It was late last night.  Should've waited until after I slept before trying to answer.

While it is not true trapsense, if you simply want a way to detect traps without taking one of those classes, Find Traps is the spell you're looking for.  It won't qualify as Trapsense for the purposes of prerequisites.

Yes, yes.  Pixie special arrows.  Which not only DO NOT have any pricing or crafting rules, let alone whether they can even be given to others, and are COMPLETELY UNAVAILABLE TO PIXIE PCS.  And don't go quoting 3.0 rules as having relevance, when the pixie has been rewritten in 3.5.  Because 1) the rules for them have been updated, making all 3.0 references obsolete and worthless, 2) the 3.5 version of the sleep arrows are more powerful, and 3) nowhere does any of it state that they use RHD for those save DCs instead of spell levels or the like.  Completely invalid.

Once again, SorO, you have to resort to attacks against the person, not the argument, to try and sound like you are right.  You have not proven your side of the argument, you have not disproven mine.  Both are possible outcomes for this thing which has nothing to compare to.  You just sound like you can't accept that I could have a valid point and might possibly be right.  So therefore, since any further attempts to try and hold a somewhat civil discussion about this are impossible, I am dropping it now, having made my point.  SorO, you can bitch and whine all you like.  I won't listen to it any more.

A manufactured weapon uses racial hit dice for DCs?  Never seen that anywhere in D&D before or since.  And because it is not stated by RAW, you cannot prove that it does.  All that can be proven is that the DC is 17 + Constitution Modifier for both sand giant stat blocks.  And that the sand blaster is a manufactured weapon, not a racial special ability.  In fact, the stat block for it also does not include the requisite (EX)/(SU)/(SP) that all special abilities have, further proving it is simply a weapon, whose calculated DC happens to be listed in the Special Attacks row on the giants' stat blocks.  That the DC appears to be calculated by RHD could be a coincidence.

So, because there is no evidence anywhere else in the game of a non-racial source using RHD to calculate save DCs, it sounds like that is the path to homebrew.
