    Blowing up magic items, yes or no?

    Why not disintigrate the character? As long as you're going with that spell.

    First level PC in high level campaign

    When I was your age...uphill (both ways)...ZzzzZzzz I would have given him a ref check to avoid the pit. It's DnD not Toon. Maybe a bonus for having balance, or tumble. Depending on the quality of the total he'd either have escaped unharmed, or ended up on the side of the pit rolling a high...

    First level PC in high level campaign

    Survival of the fitest Well if he let's you pick random races. Something like a drow sorcerer or wizard might be spiffy. The darkness web burning hands combo (which I've never tried mostly because I DM) seems like it might be a pretty snazzy ambush. The insta kill trap thing makes me think...

    Banishing "Sacred Cows"

    Funny thing to say, that. "Dungeon" originally ment "the lord's tower", and often refered to the keep of a castle, including the rooms, ... well cells, underneath it. But don't take my word for it. And while you're there.... More than a coincidence. Less than comic.

    Banishing "Sacred Cows"

    And in other comics by Wiley Miller Oh no, they are. In an abstracted system like that of Hp the DM has the burden to describe things in a sensible, yet dramatic, manner. If he chooses not to, that's no ones fault save the DM's. That's pretty explicitly the point. Again, if you want...

    WotC setting thing... Zulkir, help!

    Ahhh. The benefits of using web based email. Not exactly why I did it, but I'm certainly glad I did. You might also talking to your systems admin at Microsoft and see if he can set it up so your account exists for another month, and forwards everything to your edu address.

    Banishing "Sacred Cows"

    At some point you need to take a little bit of responsability for how you CHOOSE to describe the battle, don't you? Hit points are an abstraction, and in the case of players characters, applied to heros. So yeah when my players get beat down they look a little like John McClaine, and like John...

    DM Fun

    Most player's characters have favored weapons and or items, and certain approaches to problem solving. Your players should have individual toys and affectations. Unbeknownst to them write down a particular skill and maybe a feat associated with that individual character along with one or two...

    I don't know about australia, but in new york I'm pretty sure you can relieve yourself wherever and on whatever you want.

    Best way to kill a dancing leprechaun?

    Re: Re: Best way to kill a dancing leprechaun? What about if the DM in question is a master of Jeet Kun Do and the "sticky hands" style?

    Best way to kill a dancing leprechaun?

    Damn Billy Goats Gruff A TV Show!! Is that the one where they have menudo sing at the middle commercial break? Or maybe you ment TV commercial, in which case you're thinking of the Trix Rabbit.

    My rant on Energy Substitution.

    The Hills Are Alive Sound is just a pressure wave. In anything. Metal, Air, Water. Whatever. In DnD I get the impression that in general when they talk about sonic attacks they're thinking more of the High C wow look at that glass variety. But then you have things like thunder stuff, and...

    Sorry dude. But it doesn't matter if it is. Mine was flying ice islands. Oh yeah.

    (OT) Crank Yankers and your own crank phone call memories

    This is not funny. What ever you do when the power is out, don't go out on to the roof of your dorm, or other tenement, with a laser pointer. And if you do that don't point it at people on the street. And should you do that, for the love of God, when they start to run, DO NOT shout out, at...

    Setting Search Contest

    Aug 16th. My Ouiji board said so, and it is never wrong. Besides it's a Friday, and they all want to have the weekend to fully enjoy Pluto Nash, and Michelle Rodriguez whooping asterisk in a skimpy bikini. Some of them will undoubtedly see Simone, they'll say something about how they just...

    Novice DM, looking for advice

    Play to your strengths. Your acting and improv abilities should carry you through most things. If you've got strong deductive reasoning, and strong opinions then the game should run quick and smooth, even if you do flub an "as printed core rule". Most of the time, I think players will catch...

    My rant on Energy Substitution.

    You're thinking of ultrasound. Microwaves are most definately elctromagnetic. I would highly recomend you consult a physics text before responding.

    My rant on Energy Substitution.

    Fireball in a sence was probably always a little bit "sonic" for most people. If you (or your DM) described a huge blast throwing you against the wall, and the heat cooking you, leaving a crumpled smoking wreak, that's a combination. The blast was sonic, the heat, fire. Many munitions use...

    Paladin attracting a Dragon Cohort/Mount

    I prefer the classics. I would probably want to do something like this on a solo jaunt, but it would be cooler if with a group. I'm a fan of the epic curse. To save their own skins the PC(s) have their own reasons for undoing the curse. One of the encounters along the way would be a female...
