Do you refer to this? If you are of good alignment, and the strongest evil aura’s power is overwhelming... Where do you draw a "clear definition" form this which includes the [Evil] subtype as applied to "Evil Creatures"? And how is it any more simple than: "Is it a creature? Yes. Is it Evil...

If I were trying to track you down I would do a few things: Mundane tracking. You'll likely leave prints or something to follow unless you have some manner of Pass Without Trace. This will likely lead me to the portal you took. The portal will likely have a fixed destination, so I'd know...

Ach! Ah well. So much for hoping I wasn't going to be hopelessly outpaced by a party who can move 30ft/round. ;)

Kicked to the Celestial curb. Awesome.

V is best described using spoken Mardarin Chinese, where the pronouns for "he", "she", and "it" are all said exactly the same way. He is also an example of Schrodinger's Cat: "his" gender won't be determined until someone looks.

Religious strife was a large part of the plot of the Tales of Wyre by this board's own Sepulchrave II. This story shows how Alignment and different pantheons can be used well. However, simply because one person can craft a story well doesn't mean that everyone will. If by the climax of the...

I would think the type/subtype definition would have to be read into the rules. Is it Evil? Yes. Is it a creature? Yes. It's not necessary to introduce the subtype into the discussion. Evil people can do Good. They simply go about it in Evil ways. Simply working for a Good organization...

Yes, it does. Just not quite yet. Evil creature (HD)---10 or lower---11 to 25---26 to 50---51 or higher At 7 HD, you won't blip on a Detect Evil spell. You will once you hit 10 HD however, though your Evil Aura will be a faint one. If you're found out, you're in trouble. Metagame speaking, is...

Horacio strikes again. And I like the description of the three philosophies at the beginning. It feels like a new start to the story.

Thanks Chain; take your time. I've been away since 4e was announced, but am getting a little more interested since our last session. I await your leisure.

I only really started reading the boards a few days ago since 4e was announced; it wasn't intentional, I simply became disinterested. And since we've been bloviating about how we think things should work for 7 years now, and almost as much as they do in House Rules, I imagine a lot of folks are...

Goblin. Small size and 30ft. movement. Best possible combination for a spellcaster, and you can Wildshape when you want a different form.

Cassander, I'm vacillating between Ftr4 and Ftr2/Clr2. When need I let you know the final decision? That would also likely change the equipment selection a touch. I suppose the other party members might help me make that decision: if we have few other fighter types but plenty of spellcasting...

I think "Open Slot #2" has my name on it. Sign me up! EDIT: Attached it my character rough draft. Let me know if changes need making.

Assume opponent who cannot see ethereal and cannot strike ethereal: Blur grants concealment. Blink grants a 50% miss chance. They are not the same thing, and so stack. I would first check the Blink miss chance, and then check the 20% Blur concealment chance. Assume opponent who can see ethereal...

Mardoc, great post. You need to lurk less often! But this is what I distrust about moral relativism; while the theory may say that your environment defines your morality and morality is not subject to an individual's conscious will, an appeal to relativism could cite conditions in one's...

If they only exist subjectively, and ultimately are defined solely by the individual, then for person A, Evil means X; for person B, Evil means Y; for person C, Evil means Z, and so on. Evil has lost its meaning completely, and merely serves as a placeholder for a set of actions the individual...

No difference, we just define our terms differently. Of course! Me! :D

I wonder who you direct this to; you were rather oblique in your "those who are using" reference. While we're on the subject, my Philosophy 245 professor noted the difference between "moral realism" and "moral absolutism", but noted that the fundamental principle of a distinct right-and-wrong...

So as long as you think you're justified, you are? So if out of an earnest desire to ease suffering I went around to nursing homes and children's hospitals and slew everyone, hey, I'd have no idea that I was doing evil. After all, I think I'm doing the right thing. Moral relativism strips...
