    Hyena-Chucks

    I can kinda see it being non-lethal damage if both of the targets are soft...but living creatures simply are not soft. They, for the most part (if you are using chaos beast-chucks, there is a whole 'nother set of problems here), are bony. As such, being hit by one would be no better for you than...

    100 (?) Most Confusing/Unclear Rules

    Why does a monk that takes two ranks of Improved Natural Attack have his damage drop from 11th level to 12th level?

    what kind of DM are you: rule interpretation

    Usually, I operate under a series of principles that go something like: 1. Will X make the game more fun for me or my players? 2. Will X make the game more playable, for whatever reason? 3. Does X involve satanic ritual? If the answer is yes to two or more, I go with it.

    Familiars and Spellcasting PrC's

    I use mine as a sort of high-speed messenger and delivery system (shrink item is wonderful for this).

    what kind of DM are you: rule interpretation

    This is what I said, boiled down to comprehensability, and stripped of misspoken intent.

    what kind of DM are you: rule interpretation

    It should be noted that I'm a RPGA certed DM. I knows my rules. I just don't always care to use them in my home games.

    what kind of DM are you: rule interpretation

    I know why I like using the Interpreter mindset over the literalist mindset. Speed. DnD is a vastly complicated set of rules. I once ran the game as a literalist, but as rules questions cropped up, it took us a significant amount of time to find the different RAW that supported different...

    what kind of DM are you: rule interpretation

    I'm damn close to random, but I do pay lip service to the rules. However, I will gleefully run roughshod over them if they get between me and my fun. In my opinion, such a complicated set of rules as governs D20 can only be loosely balanced, as best, and I see no benefit in treating it as some...

    Widen feat for "Mass/Greater" spells

    I think of it as an exclusive, rather than inclusive, area. A property of poorly wording one's spells, I suppose. But I don't see how a widened Mass Enlarge Person would be in any way broken for the level, so I would most certainly allow it.

    Bring out your dead

    If you want them ACTUALLY WALKING AROUND with you, this is gonna be hard. REALLY hard. But certainly worth doing, if for the fun factor alone. You can, of course, special order odd full-plate sizes. Might not be a bad idea anyway, as it's an easy way to boost Zombie AC. Starting at 11th level...

    Glass of Power.

    Ah so. Good point. No matter, I'm a smart fella, I'm sure I can come up with a way to get the baddie to break it for me.

    Glass of Power.

    Would it be possible to make a staff (say, a staff of power) out of some alternate material? Glass, for example? And if so, what would happen, were you to block an attack from a sword with said Glass Staff of Power? Assuming the staff would shatter, who would be responsible for breaking it, and...

    [LANAI] The Rod of Seven Parts: Into the Crucible

    After the bodies are conveniently dropped into the murky water, Yssal and Wyleck return to their resting room beneath the braziere room. OOC: BUMP.

    The End of the World? How would you do it?

    For a definative guide on how to destroy the world... http://qntm.org/destroy That being said, above site only mentions how to DESTROY an earthlike planet, not merely render it uninhabitable (the pansy's path to global destruction), nor does it address how to run a game for such a situation. I...

    [LANAI] The Rod of Seven Parts: Into the Crucible

    "Agreed." says Wyleck, as he soothes his friend's wounds with a Cure Minor, "Yssal, help me drag these to the water. We'll dump them there. I'd suggest we hole up for the night if we find a place that would be conducive, as my divine energies are all but depleated."

    [LANAI] The Rod of Seven Parts: Into the Crucible

    "We've got the bugger right where we want him!" shouts Wyleck as he brandished his club, "Chaaarrge!" He bolts around the corner at the remaining opponant, hoping to reach him before he can re-load his weapon, and motions for Yssal to do the same.

    Making a different kind of wizard

    Indeed, that was what I was thinking for Alter Self, my bad. I played a Half-Ogre Illusionist for a short period. He was an interesting fellow.

    Making a different kind of wizard

    Half-Ogre Sorcerers with Alter Self (you'll have to research a non-humanoid version) are HILARIOUS.
