    Industry Advice for buying a hobby game store

    Though not part of the industry, I second this. Possibly get a vending machine installed for coke/chips. Other advice from my experience: Don't shrinkwrap books. People are less likely to buy them sight unseen, and (AFAIK) losses from browsing are less than losses from people not buying books...

    What element would "radiation" be?

    Potassium-40 decays by electron-capture, which releases no radiation but turns it into Argon-40. A good thing too, as our bodies contain an appreciable amount of the stuff... Anyway, I'd type radiation damage as either "generic energy" or "unholy" (like an evil version of the "divine" damage in...

    Motor oil protects against hobgoblins with battleaxes

    There's a pub called The Hobgoblin near where I used to live in London. I first learnt the word from the sign (a friendly-faced green goblin in a pointy black hat, holding a pint).

    OotS 420

    Or just push Belkar out the gates and have him take out as much of Xykon's army as he can before he dies.

    Check this item please

    Ironguard is a spell in the Spell Compendium which makes all metal objects pass through you (you can't be harmed by metal weapons, can walk through metal walls, etc...). Eldritch spear is a Warlock's Blast Shape Invocation, increasing the range of the Blast attack. Eldritch Glaive is a Blast...

    I like "The Thunder Below" from the WotC website. It's 17th-level, and if the PCs take too long you unleash an epic-level monster on them...

    Baleful Polymorph into a Monkey - Verbal Spells?

    What I don't understand is, why would you choose to turn someone into a monkey when casting baleful polymorph? A monkey, unlike a toad or a slug, can be of some use to the party...

    Pics of non-Western pirates?

    You didn't look hard enough: Go to www.l5rsearch.com, and search with "Yoritomo" under card name and either "pirate" or "samurai" under text.

    Turning evil dragons good

    Dragons don't really have an afterlife as such (see Draconomicon). If I was that character, I'd find a temple of Bahamut. Either drop it off there, or ask the clerics what to do with it.

    The "orc baby" paladin problem

    If they detect as evil, kill them. After all, would a paladin let a dretch live just because it's relatively helpless? If they detect as neutral, give them to a good-aligned temple which is likely to raise them. For instance, if I played a paladin I'd give orc babies to the temple of Kord, or...

    Hexbow? Duskbow?

    I've just realised that the Hexblade/Duskblade are the quickest ways into Arcane Archer (and the only reasonable way to do it without multiclassing). Has anyone tried this? Does it work well?

    OOTS - The Players

    Seconded. I think V got turned into a lizard when the DM was annoyed at the player playing NWN at the table too much. Haley's player is a deep-immersion type. An in-character love affair, the whole speech impediment thing, and the detailed background (1st Edition Thief father in jail).
