    Need help with tricky cosmology

    OK, visualize this. Your prime plane is 3 dimensions, L, W, H, all orthogonal to each other. Same for the local cosmology; Heaven, hell, various elemental planes are aspects of that plane, just overlayed on top of it, intersecting every point at a 1:1 correspondence; heaven, hell, all the...

    The "Anti-Villain"?

    I'd say an excellent anti-villain would be Satan, from Piers Anthony's For Love of Evil, in the Incarnations of Immortality series. He's a good person who fulfills the necessities of being the most evil being imaginable.

    Sex with the DM

    All I can say is that, if you're having sex with a member of your gaming group and you're not doing a little "extra role playing" on the side, well, you're doing something wrong. I will add, however, you've gone too far when you print up a table of prices and exchange rates. "+1 Dagger, 1...

    Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

    Huh. If that's Mordenkainen on the front, what is he doing, plotting against Flash Gordon or something?

    Mearls Monster Makeover: Beholder

    Eh, I think I would simplify it a tad more. Eliminate the barrage ability, first. Second, eliminate the DC22 caster check to cast spells within the central eye effect, and make it effect all (Su) abilities, in addition to spellcasting. Of course, a truly despicable change would be to give it...

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    I think you just answered your own point. You acknowledge that it was an evil act. Good people can perform non-good acts, but, 1, they have doubts of the rightness of their actions, and 2, don't make a career or habit out of them. A person who takes it upon himself to perform such a thing...

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    Naive? I have seen and done more with my life than you could imagine, kid. I'm sorry your worldview does not seem to admit that, just perhaps, the very concept of killing someone who may or may not deserve to be killed, just on the orders of a superior officer, might possibly be an immoral act...

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    And that pretty clearly illustrates that out of 100 people, roughly 2/3 would be non-good. What's your point?

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    True. And Neutral or Evil people can do good acts. The very mentality that would cause someone to become a sniper precludes good alignment, not good acts. A good person would object to the necessities of being a sniper, and would not accept the job so long as he knew what might be required of...

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    Simple. Because a military sniper will often (infact, more often than not) be ordered to kill someone who does not pose an immediate danger to others. Indirect danger, but not immediate danger. The expediency of killing someone who does not pose a specific, current danger to someone else...

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    He could be any alignment. The difference is, the person targeted by a police sniper most likely poses a direct and immediate danger to other people. Also, a sniper is usually the method of last resort for police. A military sniper, on the other hand, is most certainly not good, the closest he...

    How many modifier types SHOULD there be?

    I might give these a shot. Intrinsic-- Class features, natural armor, basically bonii resulting from what you are. Inherent-- Bonii from what you use, e.g., armor and shield (combined to form a single bonus) or mundane tools. Enhancement-- Bonii from magic. The majority of spells or...

    Order of the Stick: How long will they put up with Miko?

    Look at the expression on Miko's face the last 3 panels. I've got a gut feeling she might be in for a little introspection, and, just possibly, a sphincterstick loosening.

    Lolth or Lloth

    Hmmm. Alternate pronunciations make me think I might have to switch to Lloth. In woleaian, my wife's native language, a "ll" is pronounced as a short "r" with a weak glottal stop at the end, and the "th" at the end is pronounced as "t" with another glottal stop. So "Lloth" would be pronounced...
