My boss got a BB, and I've played with it some. I hate the thing. It's ugly, bulky, and black and white. I've got a Treo 600, and am pretty happy with it. It does everything I want it to extremely poorly. :) I'm excited about some of the newer devices coming out, but I'm waiting for my...

A corporeal wraith that can't walk, at that. :) So, Hyp, what say you to the rest of the discussion? Why not? We assume a HD range from a HD maximum. I'll agree, we don't have an explicit and clear rule either way. But we've got a bunch of reasons (previous versions, FAQ's, D&D literature...

Hrm, a Gibson-esque setting, huh? Well, from the little Gibson I've read, here are some ideas for major events: 2008: Dungeons and Dragons v4.0 released. ;) 2012: "Grey Goo" scare at Emory University spurs US to ban nanotech research. 2014: MIT's proof of concept replicant "Pygmalion"...

I think objects would get the Will save, creatures would get the Fort save. Spider

I don't believe it's possible to do only with AOL. However, you can pay for 3rd party services that will do it. I can't vouch for any of them, never having used them. Depending on his setup, he could probably do it manually. For example, he could set up Outlook to connect to AOL's POP3...

Ah, thanks. I think that's the one I was looking for. Although somehow I thought it was a lot more powerful than that... Spider

Ya got that one backwards. I want "smaller than fine" to replace "within one size category," as the size-limitation clause, not the other way around. No. It's a corresponding item because both clauses deal with the very specific topic of size changes. It's supposed to be replaced because of...

I remember hearing about a wizard PrC that allows its members to "share" spell somehow. Basically, there's a spell pool that they can draw from, allowing them to cast more/different spells each day. Anyone know where I could find such a beast? Spider

I'll try to state my position a little more clearly. I read polymorph like this: This spell functions like alter self, with the following changes: 1) you change the willing subject into another form (ie, kind or type) of living creature. (ALTER SELF: You assume the form (ie, shape) of a...

Yep. Spider

Should it be limited to one person? Or a team? Can we use ideas we've already run, or should everything be starting from scratch? Spider

Just to throw out an alternative view: Run with it. The pirate rogue has been the liason between the King and a fleet of "Privateers" who act as a suppliment to the country's navy. Recently, there's been trouble with the Privateers, so this rogue has been recalled to protect him. It is...

Heh, I love it. At the start of the campaign: Wizard: I'm selling my spellbook. DM: What?! Why? Wizard: Well, it's worth 1250gp, since I've got 19 cantrips and 6 1st level spells. I'm going to write a NEW book without most of these lousy cantrips. I'll re-write 2 cantrips from memory, and...

Good points, all around. As you might know, I tend to treat the rules as an abstraction of fantasy tropes, not as the (meta)physics of my fictional world. That said, I see two options: 1) Let Polymorph change size by more than 1 category. 2) Restrict Polymorph's forms to within one size of...

I wouldn't. The only way I'd even consider it would be if it were: 1) a very well designed database 2) searchable by many criteria 3) packed with the contents of many, many OGL sources 4) full of with color print-resolution images 5) continuously updated (say, monthly) with new data for at...

Oh man, it was so good. The grits weren't at all gritty--they were smooth and creamy. And the portabello was perfectly cooked. It was pretty gross, but in that "I'm eating green oatmeal" kind of way. It is a pretty nice restaurant, but it looked like the kind of place mid-40's businessmen...

A lunch break well spent Happy birthday Kevin! I still fondly remember the Spycraft game you ran at Gencon--one of the most fun gaming sessions I've ever had! Thanks! Spider

Just went to a show there last night, and discovered something rather surprising at the Southend Brewery & Smokehouse. Their menu has: But it's really a mind flayer head! The grits are piled on one side of the plate. A roma tomato is cut in half, and laid in the grits (forming oval, red...

I'd force the initial save, then allow them to hold their breath if they were still conscious. They would have a few rounds of breath-holding to try and find a way out--at that point, they'd have to make another save as they gasped for air (probably at a +2 DC) If they thought to cover their...
