I'm a Gnome in real life, imagine how I feel.

I was under the impression that only dark elves (Ssri'tel'quessir) were the ones transformed, in Illythir and Miyeritar. Do you have a source for this?

Nope. Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves, a 2e supplement, indicated otherwise.

If you're looking for an "official" answer, there isn't one. There are many sources of Faerun's ancient history - novels, adventures, sourcebooks. They don't all necessarily completely mesh with each other. While I wouldn't say this is intentional, it's not necessarily a bad thing either, as...

He might even be quite a clever adventurer, and his nickname, Cagey Boris... Cagey B.

I don't mind any of it, for the same reason that the words "hit points" and "reflex defense" aren't jarring for roleplaying. And also, what hong said.

I'm assuming that eladrin evolved into sentience with this power, and its use and repercussions would be ingrained in their history. And that rituals came later. But you're right, this doesn't necessarily have to be.

Almost all hard boundaries (walls, doors, bars) would be replaced by soft boundaries (curtains, lines) simply to mark where one thing ends and another thing begins, rather than keep anyone in or out. Imprisonment would be an impractical form of punishment. Justice would take other forms - swift...

I've both DMed and played 1+1 mini-campaigns, and they work just fine.

I have nothing to add other than say, it's an interesting spin on it that I hadn't considered before.

Oh god my ex-girlfriend! (I love your art.)

After I've thought about it a little, and reading the replies here, I'm convinced slightly more in favor of the default "20% sell rate and special exceptions for RPing out sales" model. As a reasonable majority of adventuring parties will have access to rituals, they can always create items at...

First, thank you all for some very useful ideas. Blue: Yes, I may tweak "per level" to "per encounter" or some other time frame. But I'm not sure if I understand how the way you describe it is more "B" than "A"? Either my system or yours, they both seem to fall under "A." Paul: "if there are...

The helmet is the face!

As a side note, as far as I can tell, the example in point #3 is wrong, is it not? Goblin warrior has 29 hit points. Meteor swarm, 8d6+Int. I'd guess, 4.5x6 + 6 (Int) + 6 (Implement) = 39. Would miss only on a 1, for 1/2 dmg. Still, I can see the intent of the point, and damage does scale a...

But most of life is pretty damn boring, when simulated as a game. Do you also check for things like random accidents and diseases striking the PCs? Your character is headed to a tavern, and slips and breaks his neck / run over by a cart / struck by lightning in a storm? Catches dysentary and...

By and large, neither does mine. But the 20% per level chance simulates the character looking for / finding a buyer for that specific item, i.e. other adventurers or eccentric collectors who need it. "Magic item super-mall" phenomenon is largely a non-issue though, as in 4e, the cost to buy it...

Just to meet opinion to opinion, I've spent almost exactly the same time as VanRichten with both PnP and MMOs, and I don't feel that way at all.

Not me though, as I ordered late May, was expecting shipment July 23, but received them two weeks ago.
