Because the True Seeing has modified his sight into a Divination, and Mind Blank would make him invisible to it. So others would see a dragon, and he wouldn't see anything. He might at that point realize he's facing something that has Mind Blank cast upon it, but not what, since he cannot see...

So KD, Wizard A is under the effects of Mind Blank, as well as Shapechange (taking the form of a dragon). Wizard B casts True Seeing. What does he see? Does Mind Blank mean he sees a dragon? I've never gotten a campaign to 9th-level spells yet, so I haven't had to make this call. I've...

My enthusiasm for a creative campaign is inversely proportional to the amount of homework the DM expects me to do in order to prepare for the game. I know nothing about Mesoamerican culture. Let's say my DM is an expert, and wants to try a game in that setting. If he's skilled enough to ease...

Earnest. My current paladin has titles now but isn't really "noble." He is a good, kind boy but isn't really "chivalrous." I think the best that can be said about him is that he always tries to do what's best, to the best of his ability. Earnest.

Something tells me you guys have been suckered by a troll...

Hrm. You guys seem to be misunderstanding what I am suggesting. I'm not suggesting that the Advancement guidelines currently present in each monster entry be done away with. I'm suggesting they be moved to an appendix in the back of the book, along with instructions to DMs for what this...

I believe Fortification trumps Vorpal. Heavy Fortification negates critical hits. The description of Vorpal itself says it requires a confirmed critical hit to fire. If Vorpal were meant to be completely unconnected to a critical hit, I believe that it would have been made into an entirely...

Carrion Crawler Kaiju. :p

I had always invisioned the Lich as something akin to the Cryptkeeper, from Tales of the Crypt, or perhaps like the mummy (pre-rejuvenation) from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. Skeletal, but not a skeleton. I've never had to make this ruling, but a part of me understands where the DM is...

That schtick is reserved for dragons, celestials, and fiends. :p

Speaking from personal experience, one can easily be nauseated by something they had resisted in the past. Why, just the other day I became a bit quesy watching an episode of Fear Factor on television. I'd seen episodes before that where the contestants ate some pretty horrendous stuff, but...

*sigh* I just discovered a new wish for 4e. That they remove the Advancement line from all monster entries, and instead include an appendix titled "DM's guide to creating stronger monsters" in the back of the MM. Too many folks see that Advancement line and assume A) that every monster must...

Out of curiosity (I by no means pretend to be anything approaching an expert on the Item Creation rules) why are the latter prices getting a discount here? It was my understanding that multiple effects on the same item got a price increase, not a price decrease...

My paladin bought this belt, and considers it money well-spent. Setting aside all the other powers, the +2 to Con and Darkvision is already cheaper than getting those two items separately, and only takes up a single slot. The rest of the stuff is just flavor, really. As a DM, I would chuckle...

I would do exactly what Mark Chance suggested. I'm curious what you are suggesting when you say "talk to the wife and other guy." Are you saying you would attempt to become some sort of relationship counselor or confessor in this case? Just to make sure I understand your approach.

Thanks guys, this is exactly what I needed! Incidentally, Eye Tyrant, I am currently starting up a Star Wars game, playing at a player's house. He has a fine battlemat, and minis. But their first encounter will take place on/around the wreckage of their downed transport. I figured it would...

Shoulda coulda woulda. I am not going to stand by and watch a friend's girl treat him like dirt on the off-chance that she'll tell him what she's done and try to make it right. He deserves to know what's going on. Here we fundamentally disagree. As I see it, telling the husband is doing it...

1 gp is 1 gp in my games. I can appreciate the realism of having different coins of different weight/values, but the small bit of atmosphere isn't worth the additional bookkeeping, IMO.

An alignment of "Good" is Neutral-Good.

Could someone point me to where I might download a 1-inch grid (battlemat) online to print out? I've heard that you can make one in a Word document, but if you can I haven't figured out how. If this is true, a quick lesson on how to create such a grid in Word would be just as welcome. Thanks...
