Heh. Kinda like James, Sirius, Remus, Wormtail, and (maybe) Lily?

Very interesting point. I wonder if James did something similar to Lily just before they died.

I noticed this as well. It seems to me, though, that in previous books it was remarked that Lily's specialty was Charms.

Or one will make a sacrifice to save the other. I felt so stupid when it finally hit me today that Harry and Ginny are virtually mirror images of James and Lily Potter (Harry looks just like his dad and Ginny has the same red hair as Lily). I get the feeling that whatever sacrifices were made...

Correct, at least not for one hour after they've been summoned. Since a summoned creature automatically returns to whence it came after an hour, it can't summon more of its kind. See Summon (Sp) on MM/315 as someone pointed out earlier. Again, thanks to all for their help with this matter.

Thanks for the quick responses, guys. Let me push my luck with another related question: Can an advanced tanar'ri summon another advanced tanar'ri of the same HD as itself or just a standard version of the demon?

I know that if a sorcerer or wizard uses a Summon Monster spell to call in reinforcements for a fight, those critters aren't counted for experience point awards (since the spells are part of the caster's attack repertoire). Does the same thing hold true when a tanar'ri uses its racial power to...

I might too. I think I meant to say weak-minded. Part of me is convinced that Palpatine was using a form of "Jedi mind trick" to make Anakin focus on things that would lead him to the Dark Side while ignoring or twisting what the Jedi had done/were doing for him. Agreed. We get to see some...

LOL, good point. But that book wasn't exactly put out for entertainment purposes like the Star Wars films were. And the guy in that book--his death scene was more moving than Vader's. Probably because his sacrifice at the end was in-character with the way he'd lived his life while Vader's was...

I don't buy it. I'd say his sins were because he was an impatient, self-centered, weak-willed, egotistical individual. All human traits, no doubt, but these traits are also prevalent in other villains in Lucas' universe. I guess that's Lucas' message. The problem is that Vader's actions in...

Yes, there's a difference. But does Annakin truly KNOW that Padme is going to die? He had a similar dream concerning his mother, and she DID die. Does one instance make for such a definitive track record that he could know for certain that his dream concerning Padme would come true? But...

You either come to grips with the betrayal, learn from it, and get over it (more or less), or let it tear you apart. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unless there are some major medical breakthroughs in this century...this lady you depend upon IS going to die. So why aren't you...

A) One of his reasons for not liking them may have been that their assessment of Palpatine was more accurate than his own and that was a blow to his precious ego. B) Or if he had a conscience, he'd realize that the other Jedi were being killed because he chose to help palpatine kill Windu. The...

Addressing the second part of the quote first, I don't agree. It seems (and maybe I'm wrong; I haven't read the SW novels) that Jedi aren't allowed to marry, period. Not all married couples have a "bordering-on-obsession-need-a-restraining-order" variety of attachment; some are soulmates who...

Originally Posted by Hijinks I find it extremely hard to see any good qualities in Anakin's character, even when he was a child, if he was that eager to run off and leave mom behind without a look back.

Blair Witch 2 (but I think that had some gratuitous nudity and might therefore be disqualified).

Are there any rules that deal with the effects of a creature using a shield made for something smaller than itself? If someone could point me to such rules, I'd appreciate it. I'm particularly wondering if a Large creature using a medium tower shield should still suffer the -2 penalty to its...

Two serving girls in one of my old inns were Carlotta and Rosie (sorta sounds like "Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC).

Intelligence 6 = -2 skill points?

Heh. With 2 outs in the ninth, the alarms started going off in the back of my mind. My 79-yr.-old dad--who's watched just about every Sox game since he retired--decided for some reason to watch the game by himself in his bedroom instead of the living room as he'd done for most of the recent...
