The density of gold is 19.3 times that of water. The density of our earth is 5.5 that of water. Lead is only 11.3 times that of water, and iron is 7.8. That's at room temperatures; if molten and under extreme pressures it wouldn't be much different, I'd think. So if a substantial component of...

I agree with you about DM judgment, but this would make it easier for a DM to say "yes" without worrying about breaking the game. For example, if you are concerned that a prestige class is too easy to get into, this method would effectively increase the prerequisites by one feat. If a spell is...

What do people think about requiring characters to use a feat slot to gain access to the rules of a particular splat book? I mean the classes (base and prestige), feats and spells. Maybe starting magic items if a character isn't being made at first level. I'm thinking that a character would...

A planet with half the radius will have 1/8 the volume (volume is proportional to radius cubed). Gravity increases at a rate inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two bodies. Since the radius is halved, you are going to get 4 times the gravity per unit mass. But if...

If the radius were half that of earth, the density of the planet would have to be twice that of earth to have the same gravitational pull. About 11 times that of water, IIRC. The earth is largely iron, I think, so twice that density. The distance of the horizon would be 70% what it is now...

Impressive. :D

Who are the people who voted for 1 hp? As far as jokes go, it would be funny if someone actually defended the choice in a post.

Just in case anyone was interested, the thread is here. It *is* a cool illustration, but I found the written advice more helpful, myself. Anyone have a pic of the kobold monk mini?

It could just be a tempermental breed of horse. Vicious, ornery critters. You need to have a minimum number of ranks of handle animal just to ride the things. But they are as tough as blazes. Barbarian levels would work well, I think, for normal "wild horses." Perhaps "dwarven ponies" could...

It's the Organization Without Initials. OWI for short. ;)

The mark of justice is staying on until after the battle? :confused: Like Belkar's going to be much help as a noncombatant. I wonder how the "paperwork error" (those are the LG, right?) is going to be resolved. I hope they don't just let them out.

You know, Craig, an awful lot of my interest in this system has been due to the Challenge Challenge Ratings document. The CR x 2 = EL +4 system translated very elegantly to a system (rather a family of systems) based on squaring the CRs of the monsters and summing to get a "challenge" for the...

It fits Peter's personality that his gift would be related to connecting emotionally with others. I wonder if there is any personal commentary in the other talents? Is there a bit of escapism in Nathan? Claude definitely seems to be alienated from everyone and everything (except possibly his...

Felix has the link to the SH. The epic discussions are still there, but nothing has been added to them for more than a month. You might want to check your forum settings to make sure they display older threads.

Ah, so on average the high level opponent isn't fighting n opponents- he's fighting n/2 opponents. And so there has to be twice as many of them. Is that it? But if the low level monsters gang up on him, they get an advantage, don't they? In fact, the advantage more than makes up for the...

Hang the embarassment, what was the glaring error?

Only if the parts are still missing. The whole body is there, just in a bit of disarray.

I thought that if you had all the parts, raise dead would also work. You stick 'em together and the spell heals the wounds (i.e. the cuts that separated them).

We've seen Frudu, Samwose and the Ming before, haven't we?

I think he fixed the problem just by changing the shading a little. I think the face looks nicer on this one, even if the file size is even smaller than the previous one.
