Sez Who? Would you have the caster 'prematurely discharge' all his 'Touch Spells' because he's 'touching' the ring he's wearing - with his hand even! Sleeve of his coat? Where do you draw the line? Silly. Besides, all this 'premature discharge' stuff is directly and explicitly contravened by...

Well, the Binding Spells tend to be of the 'do this or else' variety... They're 'called' so they can be destroyed and threats to do so carry weight. Simply imprisoning them for a time (and there are spells/items that make that really possible) can be really inconvenient too. Plus good old abuse...

I don't - generally - want to take the player's thunder by solving things for them. However, I think this would be an EXCELLENT option for the Miracle Spell (and maybe a Lesser Miracle Spell equiv to Limited Wish) In each case, the Deity would deliver the Spell Effect (within the limits of the...

Great Newbie Module, that. I ran a newish/compleat newbie group through that a while ago and had some fabulous scenes - not quite the knock down drag-em-out that Boddynock described, but the bit on the pier was really good. The PCs had trailed a 1/2 orc criminal type to the area, found him...

I love these... Gotta do some: Darth Cubus - A sith Lord with a one-track mind... Darth Dolent - Slacker Evil... Uses the force to change the channel and fetch beers... Darth Fant - The next generation of strangely redeemable evil. Coming soon to a preschool near you.. Darh Occulate -...

Yes it does break down in places, but (IMNSHO) were it less structured or less, well, 'Lawful' it would break down in even more horrible ways... We're veering into dangerous territory here, but... The reason law enforcement agencies are typically forbidden - and SHOULD be forbidden - from...

My games are full of these names. Although most of the time I behave myself, I'm occasionally weak: I'm still playing my online namesake and he even has sideburns... But let's see, from some games over the last few years: - Mack Abre (a Barbarian) - Tru Bahdor (a Bard, natch) - 'Cunning'...

I'm a Toronto boy, and I would love to reccomend it. It DOES have some excellent qualities: The clincher for me is that it is one of the (if not THE) most multicultural cities in the world, teeming with top notch food, energy, and cultural experiences... Good schools, good transportation...

Tis a bit contradictory... Overall, I think 3rd Edition is a bit more lethal overall, but there are wrinkles... 1. In 1st/2nd Edition I killed (as a DM) or was killed as a Player all the time - at low levels. Much more rarely at mid/High levels. I think this was representative of the investment...

We do agree: Having a code indicates Lawfulness, I think. Breaking such a code is a chaotic act... But there are complexities. It seems to me that Creasy had very specific understanding of his Duty (to country before, to his employer/Pita now). He also subscribed to Judeo Christian morality...

Your points are well taken, but expecting PCs to follow these rules (I realize that you aren't proposing this, but for puroses of discussion) requires the presumption that a Nation State or similar context exists against which this party's decision is being made. If such a context existed, it...

True. But an Area Dispel still requires a Caster Level check vs each effect currently in place on each person/object in the area until one effect per person/object is dispelled or no more effects remain. And at the cost described the DC would be 24. Only those individuals who were in the...

This is truly sweet - no Item slot gets occupied, and the item (s) can't be stolen... Might need to hire a caster (13th Level). Rary's would only cost 650 gp (per casting) Permanency would cost 12500 (what with the extra cost for the XP) per casting. I figure you'd need one casting to link...

Oooh. I like this. I'm not sure my players would stand for it (the wimps), but your implementation is elegant. I particularly like the way you leave the 'policing' up to the players. Efficient. A'Mal

Now, Did you have them (or roll secretly yourself) Intimidate checks? Including substantial modifiers for situation and theatrics (tied up, middle of the swamp, drawn dagger)? Or simply decide that the captives remained quiet? (creating additional challenges for the PCs). And if so, why...

Hi Malic, Yup. The vermin do make it easy, mind you :) Sure, a Chaotic individual could do the same thing (work along a trail of bad guys), but he'd likely go about it differently. Mind you, I think they'd be just as likely to do something else... Knowing Creasy's nature, I don't think...

Again, my sense is you're dismissing him as 'lawful' because he breaks 'laws' and fights against the putative authorities. Lawful is not 'Legal'. Nor is Chaotic neccesarily 'illegal'. He definitiely does things that are evil AND very much against the law (hence I don't seem him as Lawful Good) -...

I can see it now... Post Fight: Velendo: "Now, anybody down? Anybody need immediate healing before they bleed out pathetically?"" Malachite: "Don't think so... Not that I... Notice..." All: "Right, let's go then..." (Exeunt Stage Up) Priggle:"oh... the... <gasp>... Irony... <gurgle>...

This describes Creasy (Denzel's character) In my opinion. Though he struggles with chaotic influences (drinking, guilt etc) in the early stages in the film, it is clear that he is a highly structured personality. Look also at his techniques for training Pita (sp?) for the swimming. "Trained or...

Our party got our A$$ handed to us a couple of times in that one... :) I don't recall a lot of details, but vaguely remember having a blast in it. I THINK there was some pretty cool puzzle solving in the basement - something to do with teleportation? A'Mal
