I quite understand. Let me know if it should become convienent some time in the future. :)

*Ahem* Glances at locations... I could be persuaded to, ah, loan a scanner I'm not using. ;)

There are a lot of mythical connotations about shadows. 1700's folk tales say that you can tell who has sold their soul to the Devil as they no longer cast a shadow. Some medieval stories state that witches and sorcerors can send their shadows to spy on others or send messages to their peers...

I dislike them being tied to level. I do want characters to be able to improve their attributes beyond that of a rare tome or wish. However, I would like characters to expend some resources for those gains, be it cash to study at the feet of the master or a favor to gain access to meditate at a...

I've been very fond of the Hyborian triad and have used them on occasion. (Mitra, Ishtar, Set) The Nordic, Egyptian and Greek have all gotten some use from me. I've been very fond of incorporating Egyptian myth into my games and my prehistory cosmology takes a lot from Nordic myth. I've snuck...

This I pledge: my next 3e character shall be Roomba the Round, Modron Paladin. Joining forces with mortals of the Prime, together we fight crime!

If I was the DM, and the player's paladin was trying to escape confinement to bring vital information to his liege, no problems here. There are some significant assumptions put into play, however. One of those is that paladins try to always take the high road. They need to be figures that...

Whichever the character deems most prudent. Assassination of (evil) enemy leaders can be very useful to the war effort, but so would reporting back to base and bringing back valuable intelligence of enemy forces. There is nothing in the basic paladin package that would make one or the other...

Now that you mention it, that sounds right. Still, I recall that they mention how dangerous the roads are becoming and that the only reason they were open was because of the Beornlings. Dain still should have equipped everyone properly... Eh, I'm probably still just sore over Gimli being...

Monte Cook, starmilk As the Sky Falls

No RuneQuest for him, then!

Yeah, that bugged me too, back in the day. Gimli came from the Lonely Mountain. Why in the world didn't Dain Ironfoot give him one of the amazing armaments that ... Dwalin? complained they couldn't figure out how to make anymore? I'm right there with you on the astonishing lack of Numenorian-...

In first edition, I've DMed and played to the 16-20th level range. In third (DM / player), we've topped out at 8th. That seems to be the line of death, oddly. In fourth (DM only), we reached 12-13th and then things wrapped up.

I have to question whether is would actually be of lower cost, since you have to have either a truly massive blast furnace to create the wall in or have some means to cut the wall into slabs. If it is deceint quality iron to begin with that isn't trivial. With ore, you have it in easy to carry...

Put another way, just because it is possible doesn't mean that you are capable. Looking at D&D again, I can see that the presence of clerics and druids would improve the health of the peasantry. But, like I mentioned before, the peasantry are a fairly fragile lot. Given my assumptions of number...

One of things that I enjoy the most about D&D is extrapolating the consequences of magic and fantastic creatures being present. Sometimes the changes that I envision are significant, othertimes more trivial. For example, I see city-states being more common due to the presence of monstrous...

+5 to Climb checks.

Good for you, JDragon! Talk to your DM about expectations is the most important thing, I believe. You need to determine the importance of alignment, the paladin's code, and how broad or narrow it is. Determine where the lines are and the shades of grey between them. Do you have to be all bright...

I'll add my voice to the chorus of "that would irritate me." Noting that your plans have changed, here's how I started a game back in the day. I informed the players for the next game that their characters would either be minor nobles or be connected to the nobles of the realm. At the first...

Disney World has become the exclusive Baronial vacation spot. Stay at the Resort - some of the places are a bit dated, some are new. Considering how much time you will spend in your room (little), it doesn't really matter. We prefer staying at one of the original resorts as they have access to...
