    What races are appropriate to Heroic Bronze (Greece) setting

    This is kind of what I was thinking: OLYMPIAN SCIONS AS CHARACTERS Olympian scions are not the direct children of gods, but their bloodlines can be traced to a major deity, an Olympian whose immense power still invigorates the descendants of the original demigod. Olympian scion characters...

    What races are appropriate to Heroic Bronze (Greece) setting

    I was thinking - demigods are probably more on the order of half-celestials in terms of power. Planetouched are more like the descendants of demigods.

    What races are appropriate to Heroic Bronze (Greece) setting

    Races in the sense of intelligent non-unique (or limited-issue like the gorgons) creatures would include: centaurs titans human demi-gods (aasimar is reasonable, but I'd probably tweak it a bit - demi-gods seldom had anything resembling spell-like abilities, but their stats were heroic) nymphs...

    Weight of Petrified People

    The specific gravity of the type of stone is roughly the multiplier. Metal ores tend to be much higher than 3, but most of the aluminosilicates and carbonates are in the 2-3.5 range. Of course, we could also look at the rule as specifying the type of stone by the spec gravity, so fluorite...

    Blogger burnout

    He stopped because his eyes were failing, in his late 30s I think - it was rather unfortunate for us, since he had a rather stellar career afterward.

    Mental excercise.

    Oh, my answer as a DM is that water elementals can control their evaporation rate, so it won't happen.

    Mental excercise.

    Water doesn't have to be heated to evaporate. You would have to know the temperature/pressure/humidity profile of the air column in question to answer this, as well as the dispersion pattern of the water. The real answer is "it never evaporates completely" - it's an asymptotic process (if it was...

    Really strange email...

    One time about 8 or 9 years ago I received an abusive tirade by email from a teenage girl who was upset because she searched "No Doubt" on the web and just got my web page, which had nothing to do with the band. I had several hours of great fun yanking her chain though.

    Is the U.S. behind in the sciences?

    If we're lagging, all we need to do is add more reactance of opposite sign to the load.

    What's this symbol?

    Google blogger: 'I was terminated'

    Aside from boards filled with threads about members' cats' hemorrhoid problems? Blogs have just lent more order to an old phenomenon, only they've given up all pretense of having a topic. To correct an earlier statement, blogs are not always publically accessible. Most of them have layers of...

    D&D religious languages

    I normally give different religions or cults special liturgurical languages, since it's a common phenomenon in real life. You would base it off of whatever language was spoken during the founding of the religion or at least its introduction to a particular region. Most real-world religions have...

    Turin Shroud Older Than Thought

    It holds only if the textile was never held at temperatures less that 68 F for any substantial length of time or exposed to temperatures in excess of 77 F for even a brief period, including the fire in which the reliquary melted and burned the cloth with molten silver.
