I have a hard time accepting that they would have been that unreliable back then. After all, you can put water in and see if it leaks! Besides, withdrawl is a lot more effective than that. Besides, there's other possible techniques. How about half a lemon used like a diaphram...

On conception: To: DbS 1) Under normal conditions it shouldn't matter how much he pumps into her (another roll for a second climax). Unless something is interfering, one ejaculation is far more than is needed to do the job. 2) Contraceptives are *FAR* more effective than your...

Got a bit of a monkey wrench to throw in here: Contraception isn't nearly effective enough. Consider the example some pages ago that gave a 17% chance for a young woman to get pregnant. What happens if she takes the pill? The chance drops to about 6%. That's about a 50% chance/year...

In the long run, charisma is what counts. However, it's hard for charisma to have much effect on initial reactions. Do you honestly think that good looks don't get you much of anywhere in the world?

I've run into a couple of people--females from a very sheltered and religious upbringing.

A strength-based "seduce" skill?? Sounds more like a rape skill! I could picture seduction based on int, wis, cha or comliness, but what good is strength in seducing someone?

I've always used it. It's rolled independantly. The modifier applies normally to those of one's own race, half to races that regard your race as reasonably attractive and not at all otherwise. One thing nice about it is that it makes a good way to handle situational modifiers. In...

If the cane walls are metal, though, the x-ray won't see anything. My mother-in-law owns a cane that's hollow metal. A common item in any medical-supply store.

Placing the bits with other metal bits would not work against the airport X-ray that I've encountered. Every time we've packed anything odd-shaped (including the result of a collection of objects) we've had to open the suitcase and show them what it was. (Note: This was not in the US.)...

The way the game handles it is that multipliers do not stack, period, each affects the base only. Thus convert a doubling to +100%, a tripling to +200% and a .5 to +50%. A doubling (+100%) and two halves (2x +50%) = 100% + 50% + 50% = +200%. It's tripled.

Another point here--arrows as thrown by telekinesis aren't going to be moving all that fast. Is their flocking enough? There's a good chance it isn't--and they tumble. A tumbling arrow probably does no damage at all.

Hey, charmee! That guy over there isn't the wizard you've been adventuring with, it's a doppleganger! What happens?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Hehehe... Actually, the impression I get is that many if not most of the suicide bombers are really suicides. They are simply deciding to take some of their enemies long with them. Note, however, that this is not applicable to the spell in question: The sacrifice...

It's not needed. The Epic level handbook is supposed to have a longevity feat.

Re: Sooo... However, things like enchanted weapon that apply to a single weapon apply to a group of 50 arrows. The 9000gp price is fine but it should apply to 50 arrows, not to 1 arrow.

The point is that while the *ARROW* might very well break, the arrowhead is going to have enough hardness that it shouldn't break and could be fitted to a new shaft and reused.

Can you change who is your biological parent? Well, then, how can a PC do so?

Check 3 times There's no such rule. I've checked repeatedly with the same piece in tournament play before--it's often neccessary in an endgame situation when you need to herd the enemy king into a position to mate him. What there is that probably caused confusion is a rule that if the...

Las Vegas I'm also in Las Vegas and looking for a group.

After reading the thread on adamantine on here I got to thinking. Consider arrowheads made of adamatine but not bearing any enchantments. They would be +2 arrows. However, these arrowheads would be hard enough that it would be very unlikely they would be damaged by being fired. The arrow...
