Apologies to the folks loitering outside the cave. I've been crushed at work today and unable to put together the next post. I have an OOC question, though. Are you planning to hang around outside until Lucas finishes his recon, or are you going in once everyone can see?

I know it doesn't sound like it will help, but maybe you should do something else briefly. I don't mean a vacation, I mean a walk, or vollyeball or whatever kind of physical activity you like. Martial arts are always good for stress-reduction. Even a couple hours a week will give you...

Hmm. For pure recreation (assuming we don't need to save the world or something equally noble) I suppose I'd start by meeting some interesting historical figures. Go hob-nobbing with Oscar Wilde, hang out in the basement and watch spiders with Robert the Bruce, etc. Assuming I could also...

I tell you one thing: I'd be prepared. Kevlar body armor, a nice selection of useful gadgets (one of those shake-to-charge flashlights, for example) and a boy scout survival manual, to start. :) Or I'd just go back to the 50's, make a quiet killing in Las Vegas betting on sporting events, and...

Krikit is fairly quiet as they walk, concentrating on keeping pace with his long-legged companions. Another fine mess, he thinks ruefully. Finally he turns back to Minala and says, So you don't remember how you wound up on that ship? What's the last thing you do remember?

"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship..." :)

Erethinol breaks her silence to observe, "Traveling in the dark may be all well and good for dwarves and wizards, but some of us actually need light to see by." She smiles. "Fortunately, some of us also come prepared." She pulls two small vials from her pack, handing one to Grimble and...

Ok, I see from this quote where Patryn is getting his position. That is pretty much what the rule says. But IMC, in my example above, the fireballs would do 5d6 and the GP and XP costs would be based on a CL of 5. Otherwise, you could have 1st level wizards collaborating with 9th level...

This is nearly identical (if not exactly so) to the Iron Fist feat in Complete Warrior. So balance should not be an issue. :) I'm with Velmont on this. Very similar to Improved Crit. Are we missing something?

Lucas again focuses his attention on his magical sensor, turning it all around within the cave. He sees daylight coming in from the entrance, of course, but now notices that the light is oddly filtered, as if something might be veiling the narrow part of the tunnel where the floor rises toward...

I'm willing to believe that you get to decide who pays the XP (seems fair) but I can't see how in this example the caster level can be 12. Say you were collaborating on a wand of fireballs. If the caster contributing the fireball spell were 5th level, but the caster with the Craft feat were...

If you collaborate on creating the ring, the XP is (I believe) paid by the character with the Forge Ring feat. However the spells might be provided by another caster. So say you're a cleric with the Forge Ring feat and your cousin the 1st-level wizard has the Feather Fall spell. You can work...

Hey, I'm over .500 so far (7-6), though I'm sure the Packers will drag me down tonight. I'm almost as good as a random number generator! :D

Just a quick UI suggestion for the search: Amazon handles this well with a drop-down in their quick search. It has choices like "Book" "Music" and "All Amazon." RPGNow could have something similar with "Main", "Edge" and "All RPGNow". Then if it saves your choice in a cookie you're all set...

I love PDFs for the simple reason that they lower the bar to publishers. Lots of good material exists that would never have seen the light of day if somebody had to take a risk on the printing costs. Not to mention shipping, inventory, etc. etc. Electrons are so light! :) I don't think...

:D I introduced a PC in my regular group with this tried-and-true method, but I gave him some ability damage, some HP damage and a boatload of nonlethal damage to reflect his "rough treatment". When the cavalry arrived he helped in his own rescue with a spell or two then promptly fell unconscious.

Is my game dying already? Lord Raven? Ferrix? Bueller? ;) Anyway, for those of you still tuned in, I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not going anywhere. Real life issues sometimes come up, I know. D20Dazza's on vacation, so he's accounted for. If we don't hear from either Ferrix or...

A prestige class with the kind of requirement you're thinking of wouldn't say "Arcane Caster level 5" it would say "Able to cast 5th level Arcane spells." Very different.

I heard the "I was never here" line, from Hunt for Red October. I don't know if there were any others. "We're the U.S. government" was probably from that, too, right?

Um...yeah. I worked on it, too. Yeah. That's the ticket. And in fact I wrote it. And...did all the art. Yeah, that's the ticket! Not going for it, huh? Guess I'll just have to shell out some coin. :D
