That makes sense. I was thinking it might be against some sort of taboo for them to pose as other types of dragons among themselves, kind of like minstrel-show blackface.

We get free tea and pop too.

They do have biological color, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to use Prestidigitate and disguise.

I'd think cougars would be a lot scarier if you knew for sure they were there. After that mountain biker got killed (and apparently partly eaten) by one here in OC last year, cougar anxiety has become a real phenomenon. They're usually very shy, so you don't tend to see them all that often, even...

Aside from (drumroll) reality. Really, you're not doing yourself any service by drastically underestimating how big of an effort that is. I've seen dozens of people do exactly what you're doing (oh, but if I do this and this, and get this exception, and work 100 hours a week for two years, and I...

"Mountain lions" aren't restricted to the mountains by any means (panthers, pumas, cougars, mountain lions, and catamounts - yes, even catamounts! - are all one species, Felis or sometimes Puma concolor). They're quite happy in a wide range of environments, mountains, plains, forests, swamps...

South Dakota has a very real cougar (mountain lion, panther) population these days. They're relatively rare in most states, but it's not like seeing a dinosaur or something. Arizona even gets jaguars occasionally, but you have to look pretty hard to find them.

We had it once - the DM's biggest challenge was to keep the PCs from figuring out how to use it to übermunchkinize the character. The PCs' biggest challenge was to keep the werewolf from ravaging the countryside, or at least to keep anybody from finding out the PC was doing it.

My guess is that he also had a very nice committee chair and an unusually laissez-faire department. Most schools literally have a full-time residence requirement on PhDs. ASU isn't even what I would call a tough school, and all PhD students there have a 1 year minimum full time requirement, plus...

Ah yeah, +100.

If you use (Int-10.5)*5+100, that gives an IQ with the correct distribution.

10-12 minutes by car, 15 by bike when they aren't doing construction on the trail, which they usually are. I won't put up with anything longer than 20 minutes in the long term.

Of course anyone would rather get 100K (which is pretty high for an MS in CS anyway), but I spent a good 8 years in grad school and I never met a single person out of literally hundreds who managed to work a (separate) full time job while in in a PhD program. Most PhD candidates work 50-60 hours...

It's legal as long as you don't show the bare epigynum.

Note that I didn't say a PhD isn't worth doing for some reasons, but those fields where a PhD is a prerequisite just to work in them generally are also not the sorts of fields that one goes into to maximize one's income. If someone's advice is "go back to school to get a PhD so you can make more...

For a PhD? I don't know what kind of PhD programs you're familiar with, but that's a pretty unrealistic expectation. It's something you can do with a masters, but I've never seen anyone pull that off on the doctoral level, though sometimes you can get away with doing some part-time consulting.

Maybe when Alan Greenspan retires he can take over management of the D&D product line?
