Sleight of hand would be much easier. Don't magicians try and build up the muscle next to the little finger to get an extra ridge to grip things with and help palm stuff? With an extra digit of comparable flexibility to the thumb (as opposed to an opposable pinky or a panda-like spur), you...

I've just some of Lord Dunsany's work, and I'm impressed. Now I know that I can get all his work from project Guttenburg, since it's out of copyright, but I would rather like a decent hardback collection of his stories. Anyone know of some well produced (and preferably illustrated) works still...

Not sure how to answer this. I have used nearly every monster in the book, but in earlier editions. For example, I don't think I've ever used a devil, dragon or naga in any 3e game I've run. So many monsters play differently in 3e compared to earlier editions, including nearly all the undead...

I'm 34 if I play D&D. I'm also 34 if I don't play D&D :p

I could explain why they've done it, but then this thread would get political :uhoh: Hint: what country traditionally has a reincarnated leader? Hope that's safe enough for the board rules. Meanwhile, back on topic: How about a criminal who is reincarnated as some animal, so the party needs...

You've got Blink and the Human Nature/Family of Blood two parter to look forward to :cool: I agree with your assessments of the first half of the season.

We've flown long-haul with our son. First time was easy - he was 1, and we used a flight cot. Second time, he was 4, and we used the standard plane seat. Main problem, which I'm sure you've anticipated, is boredom. Regarding car seats, I'm with asking the rental company for one. You really...

Weirdest set of restaurants I ever saw was in Taiwan. Here's a sampling: A Scottish theme restaurant called Baden-Baden. Maitre d' wore a kilt, there was a fine selection of (overpriced) whiskey, and it had a spa in the basement. It also had a great view of the Taipei 101 - from above. Note to...

Jakandor, though more for the concept of mini campaign worlds than the actual setting (which was good in itself).

No, but then I don't put humans everywhere either. Humans occupy half of one continent and also a sub continent. All the surrounding lands are peopled by non-human sentient life, like lizard men and gnolls. The demihumans live near the humans; dwarves underground and elves in a sort of spirit...

Kinder: The Weaning Take the role of a newborn child. Learn talents such as crawling, babbling and burping. The Book of Tod Expansion for Kinder: The Weaning. Learn the secrets of the ancient Toddlers. Dungeons & Despots Play the exiting life of a political prisoner in a choice of history's...

It's amazing how quickly genes can disseminate through a population from one individual. I remember when Pocohontas was released in the UK there were protests from Pocohontas' descendants who were still living in the UK (where she had died, in complete contradiction to the film, hence the...

Where do you live? My wife teaches Mandarin in Hampshire - www.hampshirechinese.com (hope posting that's not against the forum's advertising rules).

Quick Japanese lesson: nearly every character (kanji) has two different readings, an on reading taken from Chinese, representing the Chinese name and meaning of the character, and one or more kun readings, which are the Japanese words which the character is used in. If the character is on its...

If the smell is putting you off, try adding syrup. Vanilla and hazelnut work really well in coffee, especially latte or americano. You can also get pre-flavoured coffee beans and ground coffee.

It's not Chinese (at least, not modern Chinese) In Japanese, it has three meanings 1) truth or sincerity 2) fruit, seed or nut (especially a peach stone) 3) clitoris I really hope your T-shirt says the first one and not the third :D

Only gamble with people you'd lend money to. Appreciate literature in its original form. Homer should be listened to, Shakespeare should be watched.

(suppresses inner grammar Nazi, 'cause you've made a good point) That's the nature of the D&D universe - good and evil are absolute, not relative, and you can be measured by how far you are from one of them. However, there are some instances where the direction is not clear. Stopping the...

Look at vast number of spiky things in nature. If there are things around which are big enough to eat you, spikes make perfect sense no matter how silly they look.

I have it. It's annoying that the CD archive misses it - their are some great monsters in that article. The Ihagnim is insanely powerful. 16 HD (remember, this is 1st ed), with an attack which kills after one round, as you get absorbed into it. It lurks in the astral plane, and the bags of...
