The OotS page has been clogged all day. I wonder how many unique visitors Rich gets when he updates?

Could one use the 3.5 OGL to create a rule-set that runs 4E material? IIRC there is an OGL rule-set that simulates 1st edition mechanics and feel. I imagine that one could do the same for any edition that comes along. If 4E is derived from 3.5E, then by tinkering with the 3.5 SRD you could...

If you think of vampires as sort of a metaphor for how the upper-class parasitically feeds off the lower classes... well, yeah, of course he has a staff and guards and such. Unpleasant personal habits... well, the bored, corrupt aristocracy have been known to have their eccentricities. Or just...

All fixed! Thanks Kevin.

The mechanics would be fairly straightforward, at least at lower levels- the devil would be probably be in a coterminous plane (maybe the ethereal) and superimposed over the body of its "patient." Or maybe within a prized personal item, or nearby. Rather like possession, but with far less...

How did you make that relationship map? Can you do that with Adobe? (I have AdobePro, but I don't know what it is capable of...)

As you note, Werebat, a Rainbow Ray often bypasses energy resistance. Scorching Ray, as StreamOfTheSky notes, is particularly susceptible to energy resistance. There's also the fact that Scorching Ray is rather high powered for its level. If Rainbow Ray were perfectly balanced it would be less...

Ooh! I like that diagram. It's tantalizing to note that above the flames are apparitions and aeons. I infer that aeons are approximately as much beyond a flame as a flame is beyond a generic celestial (like a trumpet archon). Wow. :D Oronthon reminds me of the Ein Soph Aur of the cabala...

I would have thought that the Invest Mortal ability would be amped up a bit. Either that or there would be weaker flames around who would grant conditions like the half-celestial template. This is kinda like a Solar "investing" a sword to make it a +1 weapon. Or an Infernal "investing" a...

Sep uses the official rules, but seems to have an intuitive sense of how to put them together to make spells appropriate for his campaign. If someone else tried, they'd likely get garbage. It's like knowing the rules for a sonnet and trying to imitate Shakespeare. So no, the proposed rewrite...

Wouldn't it be easier to edit your current thread to say (wrong forum) and then start a new thread in General?

There's a reference in the SH to how Uedii could swat whole pantheons. The Claviger would be no sweat. (What *is* the Claviger anyway? A being that can add 9 divine ranks to another being must be even more powerful? How was such an entity persuaded to enforce the Injunction?) Thing is, the...

You make me laugh. To think that some DM's say they have trouble challenging their high level PCs. Way to knock it out of the park, Sep. I'm thinking about boundaries between different world-views. I mean, Visuit has her own meaning within Cheshnite myth and theology, but she obviously has...

Couple of questions about Visuit's Sword: Vampiric weapon: is this the version from Magic of Faerun? (+2 enhancement, target loses 1d4 additional hit points (if they fail a DC 16 Fort save) which are added to your total, and they are not temporary until you exceed your maximum). Censure...

The gods help us all.

Yeah. Belkar doesn't seem to have a very sophisticated player. Any character that player player has should end up being rather like Belkar.

I thought it was lost in the great board crash, but I hope I'm wrong. Yay! I was wrong: Harhall

I'm presuming that Eugene went through the same kind of alignment audit that Roy did- but what if he didn't? Maybe when he goes through the deva will through him down to the True Neutral afterlife?

Rich Burlew has a talent for defeating player expectations. I don't know if I can speak for the majority, but my first (emotional) reaction was "Haley and Elan!" and then on consideration I thought "Daigo and Nazumi." I don't know how he is going to manage to surprise us without violating the...

I agree. It's a pity you already sent the email. Oh well; I probably would have said the same. Or worse. But it is definitely not unreasonable to want to use the actual rules in your game. And it is quite understandable for you to be a little bit sharp with your old player. What rules...
