Genesis grows the plane at a cubic foot per day and is not one level higher, but two levels higher. It can't create living things (like food) and can't create structures. But you're saying that Magnificent Mansion, at two levels LOWER, creates 3000 cubic feet of new plane in a standard action...

Excellent point, if correct. Can you let me know which spells those are? Looking at the SRD for 8th and 9th level spells that create permanent planes of existence, I don't really see any. Are they in a particular edition or accessory book? If they are in the SRD, then I'd say you are correct and...

I think that a spell that creates a fully furnished mansion on another plane is obviously quite powerful. A spell that also creates that plane, though? That would be crazy powerful. Why waste all that power when you could just use an existing nearby plane? It makes no sense to me to assume that...

That part should be pretty easy. Anybody who can cast the spell will know what plane they are traveling to, because I find it hard to justify saying that you are creating a thing on another plane using a recipe that doesn't mention what plane it is. Perhaps different formulations of the spell...

Two spells: First, plane shift to the plane containing the mansion. THEN use Greater Teleport. Just because you can't teleport interdimensionally doesn't mean you can't teleport within other dimensions.

I'm studying up on Kingmaker right now in preparation of running for the first time as well. Two things Kingmaker blazed the trail on are kingdom building and mass combat. It was a decent first attempt, but like any first attempt it has a lot of weaknesses. "Ultimate Campaign" takes both of...

Wow. That's inventive. I like it. I like it probably too much for my players' own good... [evil laugh] I wonder what Medusa would be like if she was infected with Lycanthropy? A werewolf covered tip to tail in snakes? A stone-making bite attack instead of gaze? Hmmm....

One way mirrors don't really exist. They are just the affect of being in a dark room on one side of a peice of glass with people in a bright room on the other side. It can be enhanced with tinting, but that's not going to exist either in most D&D worlds. Even if they did exist, how would that...

To be brutally realistic, if I could turn somebody to stone by having them get a glimpse of me, and I knew they were coming to kill me, here's how I might defend myself: Paint a map of my lair (probably an inaccurate one, but convincing) and make it complex enough that the whole party will want...

I once had a player say, "Mirrors negate gaze attacks? Okay, I hire a craftsman to create a pair of goggles that pass light through a series of mirrors and deliver it to the eyes from its original direction." He even drew up plans for the goggles, and I had to admit that they would work great. I...

19. Elves naturally have normal ears. But many generations ago, they began breeding of doberman pinschers and really like the traditional cropped ear style. Ear cropping has since become a rite of passage to adulthood.

17) They make up for their dislike of the number 6 by really liking the number 16. Sometimes they even use it twice when counting.

A resounding yes. If PC's are at high-HP levels and they have been reduced all the way to 10HP and likely to die the next time somebody looks at them funny, then yes. And any intelligent creature (including PC's, which is kind of my point to all my responses here despite the fact that I seem a...

That sounds like a DM who wasn't giving enough hints. If it was a high-hp creature who was brought down to 10HP, then descriptions should have been long the lines of, "As you watch from your hiding place, you see him limping back to his lair, holding a bleeding stump where one of his hands used...

In my game, any component that can be bought for less than 5gp can be assumed to be in a pocket somewhere in the caster's robes. They never need to be mentioned, and it's assumed that an adequate supply for several days casting of every known spell is maintained. When it costs more than that...

No. I'm saying it's the players fault that after seeing a high level caster and several other warnings that you have admitted existed, instead of running away to fight another day they buffed up and ran into a fight they couldn't handle. The fact that they died in the process isn't the player's...

Ragmon, you have have clearly already made up your mind. You came here not for advice, but for grousing. The person you need to bring this up with is your DM. You are clearly unable to get over the fact that you played the encounter badly, so you need to ask your DM to handhold more and to never...

I would absolutely do that as DM, and my players know it. I run sandbox style games. There are plenty of encounters at the ready for which the players are a perfect match. But if they go too far afield despite warnings that powerful dangers lurk there, then they know that they'd better be ready...

Personally, I've always thought it was silly to have rigid paralysis at all. A paralyzed person can't stand, no matter how carefully you try to balance them on their feet. Their legs are more speghetti-like than stone-like. A standing person truly paralyzed would fall in a heap and be prone and...

7.) Elves have a dislike for the number 6.
