    I think Australia will qualify. I hate boosting the already-hyped inflated sense of worth concerning the Socceroos, but they were actually the better team against Brazil (I thought, anyway). Brazil were lucky rather than skilled, at least until the last few minutes when the aforementioned "Fred"...

    Casting in Combat

    Exactly when do you have to take damage in a round in order to have to make a Concentration check to avoid losing your spell? SayI roll 19 for my initiative and the bugbear rolls 20. On the bugbear's turn, he attacks me and hits me for 6 points. Do I have to make my check now? Or would he have...

    An all-mage party

    Well, we had Session 1 last night. It was meant to just be character creation, which I always do at a session because it helps for everyone to have access to each other and the DM while they're creating, particularly in something like this where co-ordination is important. We ended up going for...

    An all-mage party

    Yes to both. They represent one of two rival magical orders, founded in the same year by twin brothers. Every year the two guilds have some sort of magical contest, and this year, being the 100th anniversary, both of them are competing in a magical scavenger hunt, adjudicated by the Circle of...

    Now, is it just me, or what? I've I'd been the Serbian team, and I was down 5-0, I'd say it was time to just bugger off to the pub. I mean, is there any point in staying? If you're getting beaten up, you leave, don't you? Or is it just me?

    An all-mage party

    No, I can't do that. They'll hate that. They don't like having subservient relationships forced upon them - I know this from experience.

    An all-mage party

    Well, we don't have access to a lot of the books you described. Some, but not all. And anyway, most of my players hate multiclassing, so they're unlikely to bother. It's likely to be maybe one multi-class or PrC and the rest as 10th level wizards. They hate sorcerers too.

    Alignment

    Hey, another Canberran! The two of us are probably all there is here. We should savour this moment... ...moment savoured. OK. Sorry. I'll go now.

    Ukraine lost to Spain! I can't believe it! The whole world was backing them. Except Spain, obviously. Well, I was, anyway. I always back Ukraine in these things - I've no idea why, sort of an adopt-a-country mentality, I suppose. 4-0 is the biggest defeat so far this World Cup, and they lost...

    An all-mage party

    I'm not too concerned about my players walking over their opponents. They do that in every campaign, no matter what they're playing. They'll enjoy having instant nuclear firepower.

    Stats for Iuz

    I think that falls under the category of 'too far'.

    An all-mage party

    Is the theme for my new campaign. Five players, all of whom must have at least half their levels in an arcane spellcasting class. I'm curious if anybody has tried this before - I'm sure they have; it's just what we say. If you have tried this before, can you give me some tips on what I can...

    Stats for Iuz

    I knew I'd seen it somewhere - Dragon #294 must have been it. Unfortunately, about a year ago I threw out half of my Dragons because they were taking up space, and I discarded the ones I didn't feel were useful. #294 was one of them. Hindsight, anyone?

    Stats for Iuz

    I seem to remember somewhere, somehow, seeing some stats for Iuz. He was an Umpteenth Level Everything, or something, and a demigod (though we knew that), CR Infinity, or something. Anyway, the point is, does anybody know where it might be that I saw them and can anybody direct me to a place I...

    As an Australian, I have mixed feelings about our sudden victory. Yes, we finally won a World Cup match - OK, yes, we finally scored a World Cup goal, that's fine, OK, now SHUT UP. Australia are such bad winners when it comes to sport, and now it's going to be "in your face" type behaviour from...

    Alignment

    Does killing a good-aligned person constitute an evil act, if you know their alignment. I'm thinking of paladins who serve in their lord's army and go to war with neighbours and similar situations, where the battle is 'nothing personal', so to speak.

    A question of Leadership.

    If I have Leadership as a feat I can get myself a Cohort. Can this Cohort also have Leadership? His score will be lower, but is it possible for me to command a vast army of followers and cohorts simply through a chain? In short, is it possible for my cohort to have a cohort who has a cohort who...

    The Circle of Eight Scavenger Hunt

    I'm starting up a new campaign. The gimmick is that the party are all arcane spellcasters. The premise is that the PCs are representatives of their guild, which has a long-standing rivalry with another guild. Every year the guilds hold a competition, usually some form of magical duel, rather...
