    Sorting out costs to acquire a tiger "pet"

    Looking over the options you gave, the PC himself would still be in more danger than any opponent. Since it isn't magically bonded/controlled by/to the PC, the Tiger (especially if used to attack) WILL eventually attack the PC when the PC is very vulnerable. (Tigers & such attack when they...

    Were you RPGing before you even knew it?

    We used to play "Army" and such, usually at night. We'd put on heavy jackets, our fathers safety goggles and grab our pellet guns and hunt each other.

    What spells would you relevel and why?

    I didn't state it was uncrossable. I was showing that it isn't always that useful. It might take 5 days to construct a way across as opposed to 5 days and 1 hour to go around. You've gained an hour. Big deal. It does nothing to mess up the game unless the DM prepares poorly.

    How does pulling old edition pdfs benefit WotC?

    Of course, because that isn't why they did it. Refusing to sell product X does nothing to stop piracy of product X. It would only increase it.

    Arcane Power: How long before the pirated copy appears

    Someone mentioned that you need to cut up the book. Wrong. I have a high end scanner at work that with a touch of the book button, auto corrects for the curvature. Can't even tell you were scanning a book. It also does excellent OCR at the same time. I have made excellent PDFs out of my...

    Numbers, numbers, and more numbers

    My players just give the total #. I tell them to roll or not roll damage.

    High magic, low magic, it's all relative.

    I just looked through about 10 modules from 1st. By level, all were lower than 3.5 WBL tables. Pretty simple.

    High magic, low magic, it's all relative.

    Here's an example PC from a 1st Ed RPGA module: 6th level fighter: longsword +1, Chainmail +2, boots of levitation. This was pretty typical for that level. Now, by following the 3.5 WBL tables, which would afford more magic?

    High magic, low magic, it's all relative.

    The admonishment is VERY clear and directly addresses the point.

    High magic, low magic, it's all relative.

    Apparently, you haven't read page 93 in the AD&D DMG... LOL

    Biomechanics of Flight aka Can Dragons Fly?!

    Based on the D&D drawings of dragons (body mass, wingspan, muscle mass placement) they couldn't fly.

    How Important is Magic to Dungeons and Dragons? - Third Edition vs Fourth Edition

    I stated that looking at it from prior editions, it would be magic. 4.0 rules set could consider it flatulence. That's not what I'm referring to.

    How Important is Magic to Dungeons and Dragons? - Third Edition vs Fourth Edition

    Nope. It can only see something there to attack. It is mindless, thus can't be insulted, taunted etc,. Like a virus. It can't look at the potential host and decide it looks defenseless...

    How Important is Magic to Dungeons and Dragons? - Third Edition vs Fourth Edition

    Apples and oranges. One is RP and the DM still controls the NPC. The other is a magical effect that compels and the PC controls. If you REALLY can't distinguish the ACTUAL difference then, there is no reason to discuss...

    High magic, low magic, it's all relative.

    Sure, I don't know how that is relevant to items received in a campaign unless a DM ran nothing but prepackaged adventures...
