If you really want to be "realistic", remember that lava, while a liquid, is incredibly dense; it is just marginally less dense than solid stone. A person falling into lava will float on top of it (well, assuming they aren't burnt to ashes...). Rocks, however, will generally not float in lava...

I want to make a character who speaks supernal who thinks he has the "universal language" ability. He goes around speaking "GREETING MY FRIEND HOW ARE YOU, WHICH WAY TO THE TREASURE" loudly.

This might be one of those cases where it's better to miss with your daily (often the miss means the effect is "until the end of your next turn").

I just checked... yep, it's gods and angels — I could have sworn that it was immortals. Anyways, it turns out there is a paragon feat for devas that gives them Supernal as a language along with the universal language option.

What about Deva PCs? They have that immortal origin feature...

I was wondering this myself; I had only given the monk a cursory read, and in my mind I could easily see both interpretations; either full discipline means that you need to focus on a single technique on your turn, or you can only use a power for a single use on your turn (e.g. move with one...

Embrace it. Instead of being an adventuring party, they are a strike force... get in and get out. You can easily take a standard dungeon crawl and adapt it to the party, to enable them to take on encounters in advantageous situations. Game-wise, you can do this by taking advantage of skill...

As a DM I am emphatically for it. I like being able to search for monster stats and print them out as-needed. My only problem with it is the decision to have the character generator and DM toolkit work on PCs only (Windows computers, that is, not player characters); as a mac user I have to do...

I think it was just a writing style/grammar decision. The writer (or editor) preferred to say "psionic magic is blah blah blah" than "psionics are..."

Hehe, like I said earlier, the best thing to do with rants is to bring them into RP. Turn your real-life rant into your character's rant. I totally picture a super-genius psion who knows that psionics are the true power and all other power sources are just degenerate offshoots. "There are no...

Except in Eberron where it's the other way 'round.

Here's a power for the dreaded gelatinous sphere: Which way is up? (at will, free action when knocked prone) Close burst 10, +15 vs. will; the target is dazed (save ends or until makes a dungeoneering check of DC 23 to understand how a spherical creature can be upside-down). Creatures who have...

1: Psionics is basically magic. Sure, it has a sci-fi spin to it, but it is for all intents and purposes a fantasy concept. 2: Many books and games have a concept of "mind magic" 3: Real occult practices/superstitions link the two. Fortune tellers can "ee the future in their minds" and also...

Ok, how about "the monster is in such pain that it doesn't see where the rogue went... Sneaky McBackstab might even be right under his feet... or behind that armoire, or inside this basket...

A super easy fix would be to make stealth sort of like bluff, something like once per encounter, as part of a move action, you make a bluff check vs. the target's perception. If you beat it, you get CA vs. the target until the end of your turn.

It seems like it's too hard to get the "stealth" condition.... considering it is "just" CA (which won't stack with other things that grant CA), I don't see why there is all these hoops you have to jump through in order to get sneaky.

They need a new implement for warlords: Laser Pointer.

At least limbs have a practical purpose, and since a rock-being needs to move and manipulate items, they are reasonable. Breasts, on the other hand, are udderly strange.

I love using flame sphere with an orb wizard. There is nothing mechanical about it, I just picture the wizard either lighting up his orb into a fireball and bowling with it, or conjuring the flaming sphere and then rolling his own orb like a trackball to control it, a la Missile Command.

I planned to totally mess with my party by teaming up a cockatrice with an oni devourer... the oni can inflict a status that gives -5 on saves, so making it a lot more likely that the cockatrice will petrify someone. Meanwhile arbalests were shooting, and gnolls were attacking. My players...
