I always hated the planar rip, and liked the version they used in the old Roguelike Castle of the Winds. They said that trying to nest extradimensional sacks was like trying to push two poles of a magnet together and they would resist until you inevitably gave up and they flew apart. No astral...

On closer examination, this would "only" be around 36 cubic feet of copper, if solid. We can probably double that to 72 due to the shape of the coins. Certainly a lot, but hardly Money Bin level.

Back to the OP's idea: The secret is in the wrist. Most people don't use all the muscles in their arm, because the wrist and finger muscles are generally pretty weak. You've trained your wrist and finger muscles to, at the point of impact, push forward with that little extra bit of oomph...

More fun: Put an astral diamond in there, and convert it to copper. TIDAL WAVE!

With all the stink over unaligned gold dragons, I'm surprised no one has brought up the unaligned couatl. There it's justified that although they are virtuous, they take such an extreme long-term and single-minded view that mere mortals can easily get destroyed by their "greater good." Pretty...

Probably lives in Scarytown underneath Double Hell and the Shadow Shadow Bo Badow

Getting back to the funny, gnomes and bards: 3e fluff: Gnomes have no bardic tradition. 3.5 fluff: Gnome Favored Class: Bard. 4e (pre PHB2): Gnome? Bard? What's that?

I have a pirate setting I'm working on. The dwarves have a culture somewhat loosely based on polynesian culture, with a bit of mesoamerican and a lot of stuff I just made up. One of their great myths is a lost city of gold, built by Moradin himself and protected from all normal navigation and...

I think the reason for putting Psionics first, out of alphabetical order, is because it's shiny. Psionics is the new thing in PHB3, so putting it first makes sense. Baseless speculation tells me that we will probably see the Archivist and Templar classes for Divine (a different sort of...

Nice to have a "small" Domain of Dread. While the previous one was clearly aimed at paragon, this one is heroic through and through. A single town beset by evil (and rotting from within), instead of a large city. I wonder if for an epic domain we'll have a whole nation, like in the Ravenloft...

Nothic came from the 3.5 Miniatures Handbook, though I wouldn't be surprised if they had some spiritual ancestor in past editions. If I remember correctly, they were an aberrantion that fed on decayed flesh, which it created through a decaying gaze. One of the first creatures that had physical...

They're mostly close blast or burst powers, but there's a lot of Force being thrown around. One is fluffed to be you throwing an energy blast and then following it to the point of impact, but mechanics-wise you move and then produce the burst (man, that makes it sound like a fart.) There are...

Dammit, how come Japan gets stuff so soon while Korea has to wait an extra week? It's not fair!

The thing is, the Sphynx's riddle IS there, which is why that strikes me as a particularly poor example And the sidebar:

Thing is, he can hit each PC with probably two effects per round, maybe more: One from the Eye of the Beholder and one from the Eye Rays attack. Possibly more if the PCs are stupid and bunch up. Then you get the ongoing damage going with a -2 to saves and the players are really going to be...

I don't so much "hate" it as "find it amusing," in the same way someone stubbing their toe or a piece of scenery falling down during a play can be amusing. On the plus side, it will make all the other figures look better by comparison. Her name was Vecna, she was a showgirl!

Sorry, didn't mean to stir up truffle.

That was in spore taste. There isn't mushroom for your kind around here.

Also, Remorhaz are, despite doing fire damage, creatures of ice and snow. So they're often found around creatures that are ironically vulnerable to them. I see frost giants using them as weapons against enemy tribes for this very reason.
