    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    If Miko is willing to agree with "color coded for your convenience", when she's taking everything about the PCs in the worst light possible, I'm going to assume that black dragons are indeed 100% evil. If V had wanted to, though, he could have cast heroics, embrace the dark chaos, shun the...

    Have your PCs ever used a Mirror of Opposition?

    Walls have hit points.

    "Exceptional Fluff" - the bane of RPGs (ranty)

    Clearly you haven't read any of the Dragaera novels. It's possible, but insanely expensive, and there are ways of preventing it.

    Oots 636

    Or Maximized Shivering Touch. -18 dex, touch attack. The dragon's helpless, no save. Combine with spectral hand to taste.

    Elf Detection 101

    Try the North Pole. If nothing else, they tend to have a pretty good intelligence service.

    Is this puzzle solvable?

    Honestly, I'd start by casting Understand Object or using other divinations. In general, spamming divinations is how I deal with puzzles.

    Expertise vs. previous editions

    There's some math balance for magic items and such, and towards the end they started realizing exactly how screwed up the original prices were (see:ring of regeneration). The MIC did some pretty good math-based balancing... though admittedly, it was based on a lot of "this is better than x, but...

    I killed my first PC

    Happens to everyone. Your wizard fails his save against feeblemind, and thinks bull-rushing the ogre is a good idea... Oh, you mean you killed someone else's PC. Welcome to the club. My personal experience involved a bizarre chain of occurrences which left me thousands of RL miles away from...

    What Did You Want Fourth Edition to be Like?

    3rd edition but balanced. That is: Something like the warblade as the new fighter class. Book of Nine Swords was excellent, balance wise and smooth mechanics wise. Differentiated class abilities and playstyles, with classes on both ends of the "resource management" spectrum. I like being...

    Do you make clerics research new spells not in the PHB?

    If I wanted to actively seek out new divine spells, I'd be playing an archivist.

    I have a problem with monks and halflings

    Don't worry about it. Monks' flurry of misses pretty adequately simulates the difficulty of actually inflicting damage against a large opponent. The ogre swings his massive, beefy fist down. Quick as lightning, the halfling jumps onto it. As the ogre roars in pain, the monk runs along the...

    Could you make the top News/forums/wiki/etc bar a little smaller

    I'm on firefox 3.0.6, 1024 laptop screen, XP pro... Dunno what to say, really.

    Could you make the top News/forums/wiki/etc bar a little smaller

    It's kinda a pet peeve, but I'm always really irritated when there's a horizontal scroll bar when there's no reason for it. It makes it more irritating to read while scrolling around with the mouse, since the text moves side-to-side as well as up-and-down, and looks unprofessional Making it...

    OOTS #629 is up

    You see, situations like these are EXACTLY why my wizards always pick up Contact Other Plane, and take 10 on the check when they cast it daily. If V had actually selected decent spells, he wouldn't be in this situation. He could have cast it a few times, had a 99.99% confidence interval he...

    Undead Origins

    You need to fix the seperation after the Wight - it runs into the next undead. Oddly enough, it's entirely possible for a Wight to be created by the wrong person picking up a Holy Avenger.

    OK, fine. The metalsmith gets 30000 roleplaying XP for having never been out of character throughout his whole existence.

    OOTS 595 up

    What determines morality but intentions? Chaos theory dictates that you can never find the end of consequences for your actions. The weather is a chaotic system. Your actions since birth create enough of a cumulative difference in the weather such that Hurricane Katrina wouldn't have happened...

    Your PC is a cleric: what deity do you revere?

    You probably also should have included a "none of the above" option.

    The 15 min. adventuring day... does 4e solve it?

    Hmmmm? I think you're confusing the in-game and meta-game levels? An analogy to your chess example would be the DM wandering off to get Cheetos in the middle of a battle. If I say "each move in the chess game represents ten thousand million billion years", does that mean I'm not interacting...
