"...and even then, a key piece of information will be missing from the file."

Hmm. I must have missed that bit. Which makes the pilot 2nd level. I don't think this changes anything else, though.

Overused DMPC syndrome. Plus the whole "arrogant guy who can kick the snot out of your party singlehandedly no matter how powerful you THINK you are, neener neener" complex. Basically, Elminster wasn't supposed to be as prominent as he has become, and Khelben is frequently "in your face" if...

For some reason, I think this might just be a "freudian slip", given the pattern of the sentence preceding it... ...and reading the full post, I am confirmed in this belief. Wow, you guys really took the bait on that one. ...we should report Mike for trolling. :) Okay, that was a small joke.

99. "...any file of critical importance will be encrypted, padded with other information, and use biometric access. The biometric scanner shall require my retinal patterns and four different fingerprints, and be hooked up to a specific computer."

15 or better is 30% of the time, not 25%. It's the same as saying "Needs better than a 14".

Dragon Magazine covered a lot of these deities back "in the day." Also, download a copy of the Living Greyhawk Campaign Sourcebook. There's some more information there. Allitur was the Flan god of law and justice, basically the "lawyer's god." Zuoken first appeared in 2nd edition, I think...

I would like to point out that if the party has gotten to high levels, they should enjoy the fruits of their labor, as it were. If they want to bypass an encounter by use of Teleport, or want to get "to the dungeon/castle/town" and have a Teleport without Error handy, then let them. Such...

Cities of the Underworld fits into just about any RPG setting that has cities in it, not just D&D. Shadowrun, Earthdawn, World of Darkness, Ars Magica, D&D, Paranoia (which already has a supplement for it), Star Wars, Runequest, Exalted, Babylon 5, Star Trek... it doesn't matter. Even Bunnies...

Ah, no, the dex modifier for the ship isn't +3. It's +6; the T-65B has a dex of 22. The astromech droid has nothing to do with the T-65's Pilot skill; only the asterisk'd skills are affected by the astromech droid. From what I can tell, the T-65B is being piloted by a 1st level Heroic...

Gandalf was a Maiar, not a wizard or magic-user. He was an Outsider, in D&D terms something like a Deva or Planetar.

Do you know, I had looked it up prior to writing the first post in here where I said that neither demons nor devils could reach Hades? As written, the 1st edition stuff says that demons and devils can leave the Abyss or the Nine Hells, but can never return without being slain.

The "Blood War" is between Devils and Demons, not between "Demons and Demons" or "Devils and Devils". That's what doesn't make sense. Demons fighting each other? Of course! Devils scheming against each other? Definitely! Demons fighting Devils directly in a massive eternal war? No, because...

Really? That's bizarre. Of course, I didn't pick up most of the MC series at the time, so I missed that. I still don't see it making sense, what with the fact that the demons and devils couldn't get to the plane where they were supposed to be fighting. As for the fact that demons and devils...

If you want a really wierd one... Continuum: Roleplaying in the Yet. The basic premise is that you're playing time-travellers more or less trying to keep history straightend out. Some time-travellers don't mind effing with history, because there's certain benefits to doing so. Others...

I got some useful lessons from reading the Arduin Grimoires; despite the completely disjointed setting, it did teach me something about building a campaign world. Namely, that local/regional "color" is a good thing when used in moderation, and that descriptions of items and places should avoid...

Here's another thing... the "Blood War" is solely a construct of the Planescape setting. It didn't exist in 1e, it didn't exist in Basic, it didn't exist in 2nd edition products prior to the Planescape setting. The only reason the "blood war" exists is as a consequence of the Planescape...

Compare the Star Wars Revised Core Rulebook with Star Wars Saga Edition. That's probably going to be about how different 3e and 4e are.

All I can say is, I no longer believe in the idea of "core" races with all the changes that they've let us know about in 4e. I'm just wondering how they're going to mess with Humans.

My own opinion is that wands and potions and scrolls, being expendable magic items, are more viable as treasure at low levels than permanent magic items. As a result, I give these items out more often. I also expect the party to USE the scrolls, wands, and potions I give out, just as I also...
