I dunno. The stated 20kt yield of one of the nearby attacks is approximately equal to the Hiroshima & Nagasaki blasts, which were caused by fission devices. While Fat Man and Little Boy were sufficiently large to require B-29s to deliver, 60 years of miniaturization could conceivably produce...

I suspect that even if he had tried, he wouldn't get very far. Harry was defending himself from an Unforgivable Curse, after all. In fact, he probably did Malfoy a favor by saving him from a one-way trip to Azkaban.

The guild master could just be a devout Kelemvorite, and agrees with his spiritual leader that the idea that the school is too dangerous to be studied. He just never had the justification to ban it before.

I'm surprised they let the druid cast for the whole round the spell requires.

Every single one of these has me come up as a LE elven wizard. I guess I'm just missing five perpetually-oozing wounds in my chest inflicted by my Shalafi.

Heh. I'll occasionally see the moon when it's a waxing crescent, with the majority of it illuminated via earthshine. I've often thought "Wow, that (minus the sun-illuminated bit) must be what Nuitari looks like."

[doesn't recognize the term, checks wikipedia] [curses his curiosity]

Isn't Wee Jas also in that alignment slot? Or did they want at least two for the non-True Neutral alignments?

OT: I find it amusing that someone who's looking up paladin builds has, probably unintentionally, as their avatar the symbol of Bane, one of the LE gods from the Forgotten Realms. :) Now to be actually useful. Your saves come in three categories, Fortitude, Reflex, and Will. Each of these are...

Ungodly number of magical items? That's just begging for a scroll of Disjunction. Also it would serve to destroy the party's (likely substantial) buffs, likely reducing their pwnzor-potential. :)

Dumbledore addresses this point in Book 6. Tom Riddle, already on his path to immortality and possibly having already created a Horcrux, returned to seek the post as DAtDA instructor. Dumbledore theorized that he was looking to make use of the vast repository of magical knowledge that is the...

I can't help but think of wiener dogs when the topic of riding dogs comes up. I blame OOTS. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0140.html

I missed the "thunk" at the end of the strip; I thought they were much higher up than they apparently were. Still, at so low a height, her DR will eat most of the falling damage, so I question the wisdom of pushing her rather than using his sword (metal or otherwise ;)) on her while her guard...

While somewhat humorous, I'm not sure what pushing her out the window will do to benefit the party. Both succubi and erinyes have Greater Teleport at will.

I don't like the idea, m'self. Trying to bypass the HP system like that brings with it a mess of problems. As it happens, one of the 3e designers has an essay on the subject: http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/rants/calledshots.html

Unless you speak them nonverbally, which Bellatrix seems to have done to a fox in HBP. And yes, I realize the idea of speaking something nonverbally is a bit odd, but it gets the idea across. :)

Regarding Order of the Phoenix: I thought this book was pretty solid. It probably could have been a little tighter of a story, but I thought it worked. My main beef with OotP is the incompetance of the Death Eater A-squad sent to retrieve the prophecy. This is, in part, due to the rules (or...

He recently moved to town, seems to know way too much relevant information, and he had a map of the US with red pushpins ready to go. I think he's in on it, whatever it is.

Well, yes. :) Turns out I was wrong, though. Right season, wrong episode. It's from "Other Side", not "2001". My SG-fu is not as strong as I thought.

Unless said teacher happens to be Severus Snape, I would imagine. :)
