    Why no Half-elf/Half-orcs?

    A moouse (plural: moice) would have been much worse. Why no half-orc/half-elf? I suppose in a 2e sourcebook it's revealed that elven gonads are blessed by Corellon so that they would never give birth to a ugly baby. Probably explains the low elven birth rate as well. :p

    Troll Porn

    This reminds me of some cleverly hidden things in Morrowind. For example, you had many "dwemer ruins" here and there, the Dwemer being a race of scientists and technicians, who had created many automatons and similar mechanical wonders, until one day all the Dwemer vanished entirely, leaving...

    OOTS 506: Flanking Crush

    The "magic flash color" of the spell was yellow, which isn't Xykon's color. He casted that spell with the "wheaties headband" (which, presumably, was taken from Dorukan).

    OotS #505

    Though, thanks to the mark of justice (bluff or not, Belkar believes it), Belkar is actually less likely to get rid of it than Haley (who just wanted to stuff it in one of her bags of holding, but Belkar insisted for it to be transported by hand).

    Greybeards & Grognards 1

    Sheesh. The only real grognards are veterans of Napoléon's army. Unfortunately, between battles, starvation, diseases and the rather limited lifespan alloted to humans (heh, that's War, Famine, Pestilence and Death), there aren't any grognard left. Hasn't been any for a couple of centuries already.

    OotS 504

    Weary eyes, not delirious. V is overworked, and for once I think (s)he's going to want to sleep eight hours rather than trance four hours...

    OotS 503!

    If Elan doesn't stay loyal to Haley, he would do well to remember that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

    OotS 503!

    Your post was at the end of series wanting to attribute these Azure City NPCs to ones we had already heard about before. I didn't single it, I have quoted others before.

    OotS 503!

    I'm reading a comic in which Therkla is neither Haley's sister nor Sabine. :p

    OotS 503!

    A twin goblin Asian sister? You don't see much of her skin, but look again anyway. I was thinking Therkla. She can be a new character, you know. There's room for more female characters in OotS-world than just Haley and Sabine. Last time I checked, Sabine was fleeing with Nale and Thog, and...

    I miss Dual Classing and the power of nostalgia

    The main problem is caster level. A fighter 8/wizard 1 has a caster level of 1. Which means that his spells are weak, and have no real chance of affecting a level-appropriate monster with spell resistance. Spell resistance is pretty much a mechanics to hurt multiclassed spellcasters. It would...

    Favorite Fantasy Race: Dwarves, Hobbits or Elves?

    Gnomes. I like the idea of small, unassuming people who speak in riddles and have much greater power than expected. Like a whole bunch of Yodas.

    OotS 500

    Under the bed? It could be his sister instead.

    OotS 500

    Who is Eric? Roy works on a webcomic? I knew about that former Cliffport cop, but for Roy it's a surprise.

    adventure idea: sunken tower

    I always wanted to have some dungeon/city/whatever in a giant turritella shell. A really giant one.

    Do you ever use "expendable henchmen"?

    In our group, adventuring parties don't tend to have henchmen, expendable or not. Usually under the rationale that if they did, all the henchmen would be killed before the main fight anyway, and then you'd have to pay their widow -- quite inconvenient. However, when we've got a cleric or a...

    What's wrong with Mini-Centric?

    It's expensive. Especially given that WotC distributes them randomly, so you have no guarantee you'll get the minis you want. This has led to the creation of what I would call a parasitic market (not in a negative meaning, mind you) where people buy a huge lot of them, open all the boxes, sort...

    The other humans

    Those are called "bards". :p

    OotS 498 is up

    If I ever play Shadowrun or d20 Modern, I'll yoink this somehow. Yes. Each day a corpse spends under the protection of gentle repose doesn't count for this purpose, so a corpse with a permanent gentle repose cast on it (whether permanency works for gentle repose is left to DM's fiat) could be...

    An alternate version of half-orc reproduction

    Or "Quetzalduffelcoatl." But the D&D creature is a couatl, actually.
