Would you also allow a mage to Baleful Polymorph a mirror image?

Terminal velocity varies by surface area exposed to the direction of movement... which is why parachutes work in the first place. They decrease "terminal velocity" to a safe, survivable level.

RAW trumps FAQ. Maybe not in RPGA games, but...

What, the Book of Erotic Fantasy and the online Guide to Unlawful Carnal Knowledge weren't enough for you?

I find the best way to teach the game is to walk them through creating a character, once you've explained the basic d20 premise: to do stuff, roll 1d20 + mods. Everything else is just determining the mods.

Yes, but whether you succeed or fail, you lose the spell each time. And remember, by the RAW, if even one declared target isn't a creature, the ENTIRE spell fails. If you want to waste all your spells testing every statue you pass with MM, go ahead. I'd rather use a deathwatch, as Hypersmurf...

I'd like to emphasize that if the efreeti really is that much weaker than the PCs, the revenge shouldn't be coming back later and trying to kill them, since that's too easily solved, but rather looking for other people to get revenge on them instead, and/or going around messing up their plans...

It probably was overly mean, but I think what he's getting at is that the primary source rule only give precidence between different books. The problem here is precidence within a single book, and thus isn't covered.

I'd stick with "Trying to get a malevolent entity to grant a wish will involve perversion of intent". Do not, under any circumstances, let them say "I wish to increase my strength by 1" or any numerical value. This has only a meta meaning, and cannot be stated in game. A wizard casting this...

The Shocking and Thundering abilities can be easily combined for the mere price of +2, the same as a shocking burst, except that it deals SLIGHTLY less damage on a critical hit, but involves sonic damage (big plus) and deafens (another big plus). I've never seen the point of "XXXX Burst"...

Here's an interesting interpretation to examine: Consider that the list of things that can fix a feeblemind is part of the effect of the spell. Now consider that Break Enchanment removes the effects of the spell. Thus, part of Break Enchantment removes the limitation as to what can heal the...

Might be more interesting to stat up some other epic fey. In fact, why not THE epic fey... The Gentry. Topping it off with Titania and Oberon... Terry Pratchett's got some good details to use with regards to fey. I should probably read the colored fairy books too for good measure. Need to...

The d30 has a place in my heart too, simply because I have this one d30 that is opaque matte black when you look at it in any light, but if you hold it up so that a light source is directly on the other side of it, it becomes perfectly clear. It's the coolest thing ever, and I have no idea how...

To tie this question in to the bane issue in the other nearby thread, a +3 Sword of Subtlety would not, however, by pass DR x/epic, even on a sneak attack.

The d26 is particularly useful in all sorts of scenarios.

Ammunition takes on the properties of the bow. 1d8+1.

Hrm. Brainstorming a d-pi. A spinner marked in fractions of pi would qualify. Alternatively, you could have an unfairly distributed shape, such that three sides were equal, but one side is only ~14% the size of the other sides. Of course, that would make having it land on pie REALLY...

Nope. The missile either hits the target or fizzles.

I wouldn't say anything -intellegent-... after all, that way we couldn't have cold rational construct killing machines like the terminator, and that would be a blow to storytelling. But anything with WISDOM should be able to feel fear, I would say. The terminator doesn't need wisdom, it just...

The smallest of the SotC ones I'd rather say are Huge or Gargantuan at the outside. That's only two of them though. Most of the Colossi in that game are in the macro scale range... I'd guess the 2nd colossus (the cow-like one) is about Macro-Diminutive (Colossal+++), with the final colossus...
