Is it ever mentioned in the posted articles or documents how a Critical Failure/Success is defined? On a related note, I find just rolling a 1 or a 20 to be more boring than having it be based on a margin above or below the target number (DC), but I've also found when I tried adding it to my...

as for truename magic, Tome of Magic has a system/class for truename and shadow magic though i'm not sure how good they are

also, he's a warforged, so shouldn't the magic effect be less effective? it's all magic that works worse with warforged, not just beneficial. i think you should let him do so, but make him pay for the new hand (the metal to make it, the fibers within, and artificer's fee, since he can't do much...

I'll check at next meeting. Good idea, thanks!

The party is currently composed of barbarian (1/2 elf), wizard (human), and summoner (halfling). The alchemist and rogue are a completely new players (started making characters this most recent session). It turns out my idea for the summoner was to hard to roll play, so I will be switching to...

The DM has a very clear, if a bit complex, idea for the world. The group agrees with his idea, but until we get to that point we are using generic campaign. To answer your question, we are not waiting but spending time developing our characters. At level five where the campaign alters itself...

Jester Canuck, that sound a bit too much like a computer rpg.

A fire/dragon cult seems most appropriate here. 1) The 18th birthday could be the approachment of the age of ritual sacrifice, or the age of joining if you want a twist (a distraction for the king to exit unnoticed). 2) The dragon may want it as tribute for it's aid to the cult to protect itself...

I think much could be done with this idea, how high a level are the characters?

This is mostly true, though with a talkative group or in a largely serious campaign #18 can be necessary.

Interesting idea. Yes it is cool and yes it is a ranger.

yes you are

ok i'll edit it to give it that choice, strength or wisdom

Except it would take many of them to do it, and the elemental would have to be of large size or smaller. Look at stone speak. Just because they can manipulate it does not mean they should get a bonus in fighting it. That would be up to the creativity of the player to find out a way to use it...
