Since you eat the body and not the soul (well I don't anyway) of the critter, I'd say you're eating chicken. No cannibalism. The mind and spirits of the chickens I eat end up untouched in the rubbish bin, so why wouldn't a polymorphed chicken's? ---- What I'd like to know is that if you...

Since the whisky's out of my system :)... When I say, "you", I suggest a situation that you yourself are in and ask how you would respond. If you were obligated to use the Helm but also make sure victims' need for justice was mollified, how would you accomplish the mollification? If the helm...

Force is the only method governments have available to ensure people comply with society. It's not a matter of if force is used, merely how much. For example: I, in my chevy truck, pull you over and tell you you were speeding in front of my house, and that you must send my family $100. I have...

And betrayal is always and everywhere a Chaotic trait? So what have all those Baatezu been doing all this time schemeing and betraying each other for? Exactly what evidence from the first three movies are you thinking about here? Admiting the prequils, you allow that Ani was turned from Good...

Thinking out loud, that was. When you get down to it, what is the fundamental difference between advertising it and not?

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the...

After 20 pages I'd like to say that it's almost been 4 years since my request in post #2. I suppose I'll renew it now. Konstanin Bar 2 / Rgr 3 / Forsaker 4 Height: 6' 8" Weight: 350 lbs Konstantin comes from the Land that Bleeds, a wasteland pitted with geysers of steam and volcanos. His...

Another thought to follow up on the idea that the victims might not be satisfied with the criminal being Helmed and then released: The victims are satisfied by what they think has happened to the criminal. If they attend a public execution and see the [Major Image] criminal hanged, then they're...

There was a reason all those quotes were from the first Star Wars movies. Lord Darth Vader was Lawful, and no amount of hack George "Morality Revising Greedo-Shoots-First" Lucas should change that.

That's pretty shaky ground, saying that acts done because of love get rubber-stamped as Good. After all, what Xeno Lovegood did to alert the Death Eaters was done for love of his daughter, but I'd have a hard time calling it Good. "He's as clumsy as he is stupid." ... "Ah, Lord Vader, the fleet...

Certainly. Suppose that the purpose of the Helm is strictly to protect society from Evil men, and has nothing to do with justice; what would you do to them before they were Helmed to claim that justice had been done? 100 lashes for rape and then Helming? 200 lashes for murder and then Helming...

Re: Umbran I did mention my assumption that the purpose of the helm was, in fact, temporal. I don't think that temporal matter are always separate from religious ones: I merely asked you to consider the case if it were. As for the warden who came up with the Helm Project, he would claim he's...

I don't think the Helm is a one-use item. I suppose this is the text you refer to: The curse only works once; that is, a character whose alignment has been changed cannot change it again by donning the helmet a second time. The second clause suggests that the helm still functions after it has...

To her credit, she mentioned on her website that all the people who have been suggesting she write some prequils have been "watching too much Star Wars". She'll not do it. I think you must refer to the Big Spring Wizard Academy and Tire Center. They turn out some damned good mechanics. But I...

So you've got this prison which houses the worst criminals of the world. Every raping, murdering, regicidal bastich gets locked up here. But the warden is a man who believes that murder should not be met with more killing. So in his magical research he comes up with his solution: The Helm of...

Charging Cat: Cats are Evil, and thus will ambush and kill you when they have the advantage. Luckily they have not figured out how to kill us and be fed regularly every day, so we remain safe... for now. Charging Goat: Goats are Mean, and thus will charge you when they feel like it, regardless...

You're not taking Spell Focus (Necromancy) twice. You're taking two different feats that both affect a small subset of spells. It's like Dodge and Mobility when you're attacked with an AoO provoked by movement (+4 AC from Mobility) from an enemy who you have targeted with your Dodge feat (+1...

The Pope in Rome ... Catholic? :p If it's party infighting you're worried about, there are fewer ways of inviting it into your campaign than running an Evil party. It's nice every now and again to get a short burst of cathartic evilness out and kill someone who looks at you funny, but I find it...

Tedious, and after a while annoying. But far, far better than the DM who does this: Rogue: I search the door. DM: You find no traps. Rogue: I open the door. DM: Roll your Reflex save as the trap goes off. HA! You didn't say you search the doornob! As far as DM interjections go, his arn't that...
