Jester, glad to see another Kinko's alumni. I got my degree in Graphic Design from LSU, but Kinko's taught me much of what I actually use today at my current job. Anyway... I had heard that in the years since I left (I worked for them from 95–97) it had gone pretty downhill. The store I worked...

My impression was that the tracking stuff was mostly for the use of the Secret Service against counterfitting than anything else. There is no reason it couldn't be used for other endlessly vile purposes though.

Few more bits of printer's/designer's knowledge: All copiers have an internal counter that keeps track of the number of copies made on it. Most copiers (especially color ones) are able to detect patterns in US money and have an additionally counter that records any time that pattern is copied...

I hadn't realized this was a secret... I'm in the industry (graphic design/prepress) and this is something I've known about since the early 90's. I had always assumed it was fairly well known. Actually, I think I heard about it at Kinko's (I was the CS manager at the time, this was while I was...

This seems like a much bigger problem than I had ever imagined. The massive loss of RPG books means that bookstores will be reluctant to buy them and therefor they'll order less, and prices go up for the rest of us. Ugh :(

Same here... been waiting an anxious 9 months for a rendition of Mithras. I really hope they haven't given up on doing portraits :(

In my opinion it sounds like you've thought it through well. I would consider calling your local animal services or vet and explaining your situation and asking for their advice.

Is there a document out there that has fully statted Summon Monster creatures that aren't pre-stated in the Monster Manual, like Celestial Polar Bear (IV), Fiendish Dire Rat (I), etc? Would be quite handy, thanks guys! -Arravis

Yeah, the problem in my opinion isn't pure casters using it, but rogue/assassins or rogue/wizards, etc. That combo is quite lethal. The way the spell should have been handled is to look at other spells that grant the equivalent to a +4 weapon buff. Wraithstrike is essentially a Brilliant Energy...

Same here... he's quite good and I loved his work. I posted Mithras on another thread, cause I suspect Kip will be MIA for quite a while :(.

Exactly... pure entertainment in my opinion. The party is certainly high enough level to fix any of their shenanigans too :p.

Yeah, I knew there would be, but I was also hoping for some good ideas like yours :). Excellent ideas and suggestions btw! As far as "free willed" and such, under the alignment of Kobolds it lists: "Usually lawful evil", which means there can be exceptions to the rule. Will there be...

Already done. It falls under Knowledge: Local since they are Humanoids. Personally though, that doesn't really seem to fit, so I've used different checks (depending on what's needed) of Knowledge: Arcana, Knowledge: Nature, and Heal checks. The involved PC's have more than enough ranks to make...

The connection to the kobolds are a bit complicated and go back years... they lead back to a FR version of the Sunless Citadel, allying with the kobolds there, and befriending of the kobold Meepo who journeyed with the PC's. Meepo and his clan of kobolds were wiped out (due to other adventurers)...

That's rather arbitrary. The PC's are 19th level and have quite a bit of both arcane and divine magic at their disposal, and they are interested in keeping and attempting to raise the kobolds. Why shouldn't they be able to?

The recent dragon article (or was it Slayers Guides to Kobolds?) has them maturing in 2-3 years. Our campaign has already taken up 3 years of so of in-game time, so such a thing is not unplayable. Btw, they are Meepo's kids :)

As my wife says... But they're soooo cute!

My PC's have inherited two kobold eggs, which are about to hatch... anyone have an idea of what kind of stats to give kobold babies?

I'm listening to this: (slight grandma warning due to lyrics) But Why's It So Cold Best lyrics in a song in the history of music... period. I dare you to find better!

So, I showed my wife the "latest" version of the poem... she gave me a funny look and said "The last half doesn't really work..." She read it aloud to me, and yep, it bites. So, she sat down at the computer and gave this poor soul some pity and helped me out: Elven-maids there were, Shining...
