It's always sunny in space... ;)

That's a good idea... Glaze it, instead of painting and varnishing it. And glazes are not especially difficult to make yourself.

So instead it cracks under the heat differential? No, really, for that sort of power generation, you're better off having a much wider spot of steady, even heat, than a tightly focused point of extremely high heat. Now, solar welding, on the other hand...

It depends on what she means by "home-made" and "sealant". Basic sealants (shellac, for example) are simply a resin that's been dissolved into a solvent like acetone or alcohols... You brush it on, the solvent evaporates and leaves behind the sealant coating. Here is an article I found for...

The FATE-based Diaspora might also be worth looking at... And especially so since it's a free SRD.

The Bristol Renaissance Faire

Why not Enlarge it? Otherwise... Yeah, I've got agree with the other guys. Gas Spores are the classic Beholder bait-and-switch.

Look here... ;)

I didn't mean them to be, especially. But rather they're just examples of a few powers that specify attacks that can target the attacker in addition to "creature". They imply that creature =/= yourself, that if you were included as a creature, then the extra verbiage would be unnecessary...

You might look to the Lure of Minauros Warlock power as another example: Hit: 1d10 + Charisma modifier psychic damage, and the primary target takes a free action to make a melee basic attack against itself or an adjacent creature. ...and from the secondary attack... Hit: One-half of 1d10 +...

Yes, there is: Assorted history books that reference the accounts of Pilgrims and Native Americans living in the area at the time. I don't have specific references on hand at the moment, but most all history texts agree on the basics... The Wampanoag, at the time, had been devastated by a...

Monty Python is always a good start... YouTube - Mr Smokestoomuch complaining

It reminds me of an anthropology class I took not too long ago in which I had to remind everyone, including the professor, that the Wampanoag Indians didn't help the Pilgrims survive the winter out of the goodness of their hearts. Instead, it was a clever ploy to secure a military alliance with...

The wizard power Charm of Misplaced Wrath is another good example... Effect: The target makes a basic attack against a creature of your choice as a free action. The basic attack gains a +2 power bonus to the damage roll. This opens a lot of options. I doesn't specify an ally of the target, so...

Exactly. And especially for the purposes of a roleplaying game, it isn't necessarily important why dwarves (or goblins) think that way, only that they do. Consider that one of the basic tropes of dwarven society is that all wear beards, and the length of the beard is a matter of pride. Nobody...

Certainly, but in this case "heir" might be defined as the most skillful of the apprentices he's trained.

As Obi-Wan once said, "Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." And that, of course, is exactly what makes different cultures different... Clinging to truths that are based solely on a particular point of view.

But, you see, the miners aren't actually create anything, they're simply digging something out of the ground that was already there. The smith, on the other hand, takes the metal and turns it into something useful and valuable. It's the difference between collecting raw materials and creating...

I recently reread the Harry Potter series, and thought that the concept of ownership that she uses in those books for Goblins would work well for dwarves as well. The idea being... An object always belongs to the object's creator. When someone buys something, it's as if they made a single...

Yep... that's how I'd do it too. And especially so, if you make it easier for the Dominated character's player by being a little more helpful with the "command". Don't tell him, "Hit your friend," but tell him, "Hit your friend, and him HARD! I want you to knock his fillings out! He'll...
