Just put on your special tight pants, a light spritz of cologne, and act casual. No reason you should be the only one uncomfortable with the situation.

I think I need to clarify my reasoning for this. A troll can regenerate a limb in 3d6 minutes. That's a lot of body mass. Over a day of fighting it could regenerate more than it's own body weight. It may even be reduced to a fairly small chunk, maybe one tenth of it's normal size, and...

My approach to trolls is that all the cells in their body are connected via their soul, and if a limb is removed all the "energy" is shunted back to the largest remaining piece to supply the regeneration process. The drained limbs would then be nutritionally empty, not being a useful as food...

I'd just like to say thanks to all of you that participated in this poll/thread. You've given me a lot to think about. Maybe if I mull it over long enough I'll come up with some useful conclusions. :D

Yeah.

Like many people, I have problems with the alignment system of D&D, with the exceedingly vague actions having concrete (detect evil, loss of class) effects. I'm trying to come up with a consistent basis for it, but first I need to determine why it exists. So my question, is the primary purpose...

Thanks. :D It's much easier to understand a percentage, especially when your numerator isn't one. What's difference between 8546/48618 and 2486/14558? 887080/176945211. Compare that with 17.578% − 17.077% = 0.501%. As proof of how easy it is to mess this stuff up, I transposed two digits...

Their debunking of myths seems valid. However, they fail on many of the fine details. "When you roll a six-sided die, the chance of rolling a “6” is 1/6 = 16.7%—assuming a fair ‘throw’ and a perfectly manufactured die, of course. This 16.7% is not a guess, nor anything of the like. It is as...

It's not actually what you asked, but I feel it's worth mentioning that even a 1st level bard can use a Wand of Cure Light Wounds. A cheap and effective way to keep a party going. As for the mallet, I think charges per day would be the most effective limitation. Keeps it useful, but not...
