I've never given this much thought, but how do folks describe the base materials *consumed* in magic item creation? You see, it can't be just mundane gems and 'erbs or what-not because the gp cost for base materials is usually far dearer than this sort of stuff. The base materials would have...

Dunno if there's any practical adventuring application, but in the 2E Masters of Eternal Night trilogy by Bruce Cordell, the illithids used a humongous dollop of the stuff to encase a small asteroid-craft hurtling through outer space. Thousands of years later, the adventurers find the crash...

Thanks. That gives me a good figure to work with. :)

If I turned a 12-foot diameter boulder into flesh with the Stone to Flesh spell (I might need a couple), what would its hardness and hitpoints be? If the above boulder was still in stone form and someone tried to stop it with, say, a Bigby's Forcefull Hand or a Huge Earth Elemental, what would...

Dear Gary, Have you been proud of *all* of your role-playing creations? Were you proud of Dangerous Journeys? Are you disappointed that it didn't fully mature? Dangerous Journeys was criticised as a very, very complex system. Is this one reason you decided to make LA a simple system? Was DJ...

If it had 997hp as we've worked out above, and it fell from the point of max. velocity doing 20d6 damage (the average of which would be 70hps) then the 12' diameter boulder would hit the ground, bounce comfortably off with barely a chip and continue down the hill like an unstoppable killing...

A perfectly spherical boulder was probably shaped that way by man. Thus it'd probably be considered *worked stone* and thus the spell would be useless against it. ;) If I wanted a boulder with 100hp (giving the lightning bolts a fighting chance) how big would it be? The size of a basket ball?

Thanks for the help. :) Wow, the wizard's who use lightning bolt and summon Thoqquas don't stand a chance. The boulder would roll straight down the hill (I'm guessing it'd take 3 rounds tops) and mow into the surrounding crowd causing many spectator deaths. :confused: Hmm. What other means...

Just wondering what the hardness and hitpoints of a 12-foot diameter spherical boulder would be? I ask because in the free WotC adventure called "A Question of Ethics" by Monte Cook, there is a Wizard's Challenge in it where the above boulder is rolled down a hill and whoever destroys the...

The Dungeon adventure "Test of the Smoking Eye" seems to imply that if the players get hungry on their journey through the Abyss that they can just eat some fiendish buffalo and everything is rosey. Wouldn't there be some repurcussions? . . . I just ate some and have a tummy ache. Is there...

There's one deity stat block that I found very interesting and I keep it aside for future use. Which god's that? Iuz! You see, if you're running a GH campaign and your players wanna bash down the doors of Dorakaa and scon Iuz on the noggin, then you should really have the full and current stats...

Faction War irritated the Nine Hells out of me! It basically says at the end that the "Factol's Manifesto" (an earlier PS sourcebook) was an April's Fools joke! Nothing in it can be taken seriously because it was written by someone who made the whole thing up just to cause dissension among the...

Ya, but was he blinded? :lol:

Hi Gazza, After you left TSR, the company released some atrocious Greyhawk material (for example, WG7 Castle Greyhak). Was this a coincidence or a retalitory attack against you? Also, after you left TSR, you finished the Gord the Rogue books. At the end of the cycle, Oerth bites the bullet...

My second-hand copy of the 1E DMG smells like wet horse or old dog. Is this normal?

Thanks. :) Hmm . . . 15 Ioun Stones buzz'n round my head (one of each type). What a sight!

Just wondering how many Ioun Stones you can have zipping around your head and all working? Also, does an Ioun Stone work if you've got some other piece of head gear on like, say, a Headband of Intellect or Goggles of Darkvision? Thanks. :) P.S. Many Ioun Stones zipping around a PC's head...

I ran a Realms campaign once. It was in the North. I think the North is a great place for a fledgling FR campaign. It's got high society (Waterdeep); majestic kingdoms (Silverymoon); the sinister Underdark (Menzoberanzan); and the wide, wide frontier. The campaign was a bit of a flash in the...

The Geoff region is supposed to be thick with Flan folk. I've always wondered what sort of real-world culture they would translate to because it would make that particular nation distinctive. At the moment, in my Geoff campaign, I've kinda dodged the issue. My Geoff is pretty...

Nothing but death to all but the following: Forgotten Realms :mad:
