    Who do you game with?

    2 friends whom I met at church (one of whom is now a coworker), my wife, one guy I went to high school with (and subsequently lost touch with for 10 years), his wife, a guy who answered a call for players, and his wife. All of whom are friends now.

    Invisible Blade prereq's

    I woult arbitrarily rule that a "worthy opponent" is one against whom you cannot reasonably expect more than a 50-50 chance of defeating. The perfect worthy opponent would be what pops out when you look into a Mirror of Opposition.

    When PCs go "Swiss"

    You don't have to tell the PC that his character is CE. Just treat him rules-wise like he is. Have him inexplicably be unable to enter a (properly Hallowed) good temple. Have paladins detect him. Stuff like that.

    Cold Iron Brilliant Energy Longsword?

    I see no reason for the hardness and hp of the weapon to change once it recieves the BE enchantment. It still weighs the same, it still deals slashing/blunt/piercing damage. I think the composition of the metal from which the weapon is made remains unchanged. All that changes is how that metal...

    The value of a wall of iron

    Sure, I'd allow the PCs to make profit from the Wall of Iron spell. Hell, I'd let them do it dozens of times, getting less valuable each time, until they just barely break even. Then a a few game months later, I'll send them on an adventure to the kingdom's most prosperous iron mining town...

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    I've been writing my SH in present tense, too. I like the sense of immediacy it lends the action. Thing is, I've gone through 7 years of training to write in past tense like everybody else. I keep slipping up and have to carefully edit everything just to make sure all the verbs are in order.

    How do you take over a magical island?

    Remember to bombard the place with Silenced pebbles, too. It's a real pain being a spellcaster when there are globes of silence scattered everywhere.

    How do you take over a magical island?

    Not if a person, using True Seeing so they could tell what they were doing, applied a non-magical disguise to the simulacra. :D With a skill-boosting item, and hiring a specialist, you could probably get a +30 on the disguise roll. How many wizards put significant ranks in Spot? Sounds like a...

    How do you take over a magical island?

    Collect hair samples. Create Simulacrums to take the places of significant leaders. Have appropriate Misdirection spells so the Simulacrums will detect the same way their original wizards would have.

    When your DM asks you how many hit points you have left...

    Oh, I use them too. Here, I reformatted them so they can print out on business card paper.

    When your DM asks you how many hit points you have left...

    Yes, the encounter should have been designed better. I discovered in the course of 5 minutes what happens when you have 4 flying beasties with a 40' ranged touch attack that can be used every round, AND flyby attack, AND a meneuverability of Perfect, AND a decent intelligence.

    Glove of Storing, does removing the glove restored stored objects?

    I would presume not. The magic of the glove is not suspended when it's removed. Besides, it's cool to find Gloves of Storing with items in them already.
