Dear lord, do I hate Japanese RPGs and games filled with more videos than gameplay... ugh (the two hatreds being independent mind you).

My intent was not to "shut down" an opposing view, my apologies if it came across that way. I simply see no way it could legitimately be interpreted as an evil act by the RAW. Glass: Where did you find it stated that casting [Evil] descriptor spells increases the amount of evil in the world?

It's not an issue of interperting a rule... but interperting "hints" of a rule. I don't see how that could be anything other than a House Rule.

The "hints" are very open to interpertation. You see them as pointing towards "evil act", I do not. Since it is unclear, the only course of action available is to follow the clearly stated rules. You may choose to interpert the "hints" as you will, but that's a House Rule.

Any spells have the potential to do so, not just [Evil] spells. As I stated before: if a spell, by its inherent nature, was a cruel act (such as the Flensing spell)... such a spell would be an evil act. But if an [Evil] spell did not inherently match any of the definitions mentioned in the...

I still don't see why creating an evil aura is an evil act at all. It doesn't fit any of the requirements in the RAW for evil acts: "'Evil' implies hurting, oppressing, and killing others. Some evil creatures simply have no compassion for others and kill without qualms if doing so is convenient...

How is having an evil aura, an evil act which changes alignment? Seems like a rather large leap to me.

I'm with Hypersmurf on this one. Since this is the Rules forum (not House Rules), the questions here deal with the core-rules only. By the rules as written, spell of the [Evil] descriptor are simply a rules clarfication for interactions with specific classes, other spells, etc. It is there for...

I remember many things... you among them. So, yep :P.

I agree completely. Balancing via RP never works, WotC themselves have admitted this. They should be the same exact spell, and that's that.

That was one very sad day... he's deeply missed.

I have two brand new custom-built PC's at home because I'm a PC gamer. I've been using PC's as far back as 1982, and I know them fairly well. But, as a graphic designer, I've been using macs since the 90's and for work, I MUCH prefer them. The latest build of OSX is particularly nice, and the...

I'm very sorry for the loss :( :( :(.

That's Craig Mullins, I've known him since 1995 (through emails, we shared photoshop tips), and I've always been amazed by his work. If you dig around his site you'll find a good number of things you've probably seen before in movies, commercials, etc. He's a well known matte-painter and to the...

As I noted in my original post, that's for non-war-trained mounts only. From the SRD: "Heavy warhorses, light warhorses and warponies can serve readily as combat steeds. Light horses, ponies, and heavy horses, however, are frightened by combat. If you don’t dismount, you must make a DC 20 Ride...

One of my players thinks I might be incorrect on this issue, so I wanted to verify with you guys... As I understand, a character on a war-horse is able to command his mount to move, double move, or even run, and the character additionally gets all his actions, including full-round actions. I...

Looks great!! Thank you VERY much. I love the spider peeking out the back :) :).

"A Place Called Home" by PJ Harvey.

I dated a model in my youthful days and I look somewhere between an overweight Kramer and sasquatch. She was very insecure and self-conscious, I like someone more comfortable in their own skin. Anyway, not that she has any of those issues of course, just bringing up that models do date quite a...

Thanks for all the responses, she and I will look through the reviews and see which strikes our fancy. Anyone know of an adventure game that is LAN supported?
