    apsuman is correct. For those that care, I learned this problem (with slight modification)

    Best...Puzzle...Ever....

    Tonight, fifty smurfs have been told that, in the morning, they will be lined up from tallest to shortest, and each given a red hat or a blue hat (there are fifty red hats and fifty blue hats; the hats chosen could be any combination thereof). Each of them will be able to see the hat of any...

    Dispel Magic & Permanency?

    From the section of permanency about making spells permanent on yourself: So, if the enemy caster is higher level, he may very well lose the spell. Personally I prefer to treat such spells more like magic items, vulnerable to any kind of dispel but only temporarily. Permanency costs a lot of...

    Weird random event table, homosexual encounters/events.

    This was actually the plot of an independent Canadian film, Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter. Vampire were going around killing lesbians in droves, leading to a lesbian vampire cult. Rather reminiscent of Troma flicks in a lot of ways. And you can't not like a movie which has a character named...

    Why couldn't each of them have killed himself?

    help me design a prison (my players, stay out!)

    Thanks for all the great ideas! Sorry guys, I think the bag of devouring and bag of holding go somewhat beyond the scope I was looking for. Ditto on the 'Lord of the Flies' prison - my campaign will have only about 9 more sessions before people start graduating, and I'd prefer to get this over...

    help me design a prison (my players, stay out!)

    I figured that it would go in the same place as character design, since I am asking for specific details of a game element backed by rules. Nice idea, by the way. I don't think I can use a huuuuge island (heck, how would the lizardfolk have gotten them into the prison so quickly?), but an...

    help me design a prison (my players, stay out!)

    I thought that the NPC gnomish scientist in my Spelljammer campaign might be taking up too much time, so I contrived to remove him from the story, at least for a length of time. However, it would seem the PCs are quite taken with him and want to get him back. Right now, the three PCs (4th...

    impact of removing prestige class prereqs and...

    If you want to change the thing where PCs take feats and skills just to qualify for a prestige class, especially where the PC doesn't even know of the existence of the class or has no reason to want to join it at the moment, I would sort of move the requirements around. Don't have prereqs for...

    Good casters and the Gate spell

    Agreed. I think that pitting good creatures against each other should be doubly evil.

    No potions of See Invisibility?

    I don't know about 3.0, but it's definitely not allowed in 3.5. I was recently mistaken about this myself, but the SRD is quite clear:

    World ideas that you think are lame

    Funny... when a Red Dwarf marathon was running on my local publicly-funded television station, Craig Charles (Lister) showed up during the funding drives and answered questions provided by Viewers Like Me. He explicitly stated that he couldn't tell us what 'smeg' meant on the air, but that if...

    Changer of the Ranger

    Of course Combat Style feats are vastly inferior to a fighter's feats. Those feats are all a fighter gets. A ranger gets all the stuff you listed. I would say that if a ranger is able to consistently perform in melee on a level equal to that of a fighter, then the ranger is broken. With high...

    New spellcasting mechanic and base class

    I like the basic idea, but it seems like this guy has a serious lack of firepower. The offensive incantations are amazingly weak, meaning that this guy is going to spend most of his 10 spell slots per day on magic missle and fireball anyway. On the flip side, the defensive incantations are...

    Putting Knock in a ring

    One of the other core schticks of a rogue is hiding, but that doesn't stop anyone from making a ring of invisibility. Of course, that bothers me too, but I have to admit that the thematics of knocking on with the ring on and having a door open is pretty cool. Perhaps it could be somewhat...

    Small creatures and tripping - is it fair?

    While we're (sort of) on the topic, does anyone else think the current disarm rules are somewhat braindead? I don't exactly understand the size bonus. Or rather, I don't see why it isn't always in favor of the defender, rather than being in favor of the larger character. Same goes for the...

    Tweaking the Ranger Class

    A while back, there was a thread on alternate paths for the ranger; I'm pretty sure I contributed at least one or two. Unfortunately, I'm not a Community Supporter, so I can't search for it.

    Why a 20-die cap on falling damage?

    Quaseqton, if you actually read those posts, you'll see that it shouldn't be infinite dice because a person can't fall infinitely fast in an atmosphere. If you want to go ahead and deal 1000d6 to the player who falls two miles from the castle of the cloud giants, go right ahead. No one here is...

    One dozen new feats, woo!

    I made a feat once, I think it was called Naturally Intuitive, which granted a +2 on Sense Motive checks and allowed the character to make Search checks as an elf. I thought of it after watching the movie Equilibrium; Christian Bale's character repeatedly locates hidden places just by walking...
