It depends on how cute the paladin is. Go into a bar with a stopwatch and find out. Let us know how it goes. I'm not entirely kidding: for the first 12 seconds, the paladin is just sort of standing around, like she's trying to remember where she parked her mount. Only in the last 6 would...

Thanks, heirodude. :) Do you know if "colored person" and "negro" are just old fashioned, or actually offensive nowadays?

Maybe so, but consider that Gandalf's question wouldn't be rhetorical in D&D. Any high level cleric can answer "yes".

This is gonna sound stupid, but... what's the difference between a "person of color" and the old term "colored person"? No one I've talked to has been able to explain it. :(

Well, I sent a letter on October 8th, and got a response from the CEO (!) postmarked October 13th. That's pretty awesome, especially since I was telling them I wanted to stop being their customer. If anyone else is having trouble, I recommend writing Paizo (using real mail) at 3245 146th...

That's reassuring. I've been looking forward to this book since it was announced, but was afraid it would just be a list of more things paladins can't do, like smite evil dragons, or attack evil priests, or glare at hobgoblin teenagers... you've seen the posts before. :/ I've been in quite a...

Baraendur, I have a few questions for you. 1. Everyone involved in the BXD *did* realize that every sentence they wrote would be scrutinized like the Talmud from now till 4th edition, didn't they? Did it affect your work in any way? 2. Does the book explain why "attacking [evil beings] on...

287. I'll have to find those movies.

Well, an astral deva has holy word as a SLA, which means it can kill about forty neutral or evil villagers every round as a partial action with no saving throw. That spell has the Good descriptor, so according to SKR, casting it is a good act. What if she was sent to wipe out this town of...

Anything that gets in their way must be evil? If it were a relativistic game, they'd be right. Luckily D&D has absolutes. I imagine they'll be surprised when they start taking damage from holy effects. The PH doesn't give a definition. Yes. I usually define "innocence" as "someone who...

:eek: Well, if you're all having fun... but by the end of your post it sounds like you aren't. Killing is not evil. Killing the innocent is evil. Killing for fun or profit or out of duty to an evil master is evil. Gary himself on these very boards (April 23, 2003) said, While he is no...

Absolutely false. Surely you've heard of the "paladin in Nazi Germany" paradox that resulted from the Lawful=Law abiding 2e nonsense. Whether the lammasu is being trespassed upon or not is immaterial. "... on sight." The evil beings could be passing through perpendicular to the lammasu's...

It is a LG act, as described by the 3.0 Monster Manual, page 127. Lammasu: "They do not tolerate the presence of evil beings, attacking them on sight." That is the standard behavior pattern of this always LG monster, so the cleric's argument is correct by the rules. The DM can, of course...

Avast, matey: 'twas no coincidence he be named, 'Frank'. Sore taken with plain speakin' he be, 'tis true, but no finer rules lawyer sails the seven seas. Unless me head be more muddled with grog than normal, 'twas he who first brandished the cleric artjer and the octopus druid on the Wizards...

On August 17, I e-mailed to customer.service at paizo and told them to cancel my subscription. Thursday, instead of getting a check for the remainder of my balance, I got issue 312. I was going to write "cancel" on the thing and send it back, but that hasn't worked in the past...
