Looks like they're doomed to me. ;)

D&D is a game about Conflict and Challenges. Sometimes killing is involved, and sometimes it isn't. Good people wouldn't enjoy it (killing), even if it is necessary. If the people of Medegia want to survive, they need to have either a capable military, or a better method of escaping. They...

Go Haley! :D Nice to see the OotS back in the foreground again, I have to say. Some of them, at least. :)

You mean there won't be a Paranoia Vista? :(

It's in Races of the Wild. It allows a caster to make a knowledge (nature) check when in a natural setting and casting a targeted non-aligned, non-necromancy spell. If you succeed, the spell has its normal effect, plus heals 2hp/spell level. If you cast such a spell on undead, it deals positive...

I voted for "Another GM could use my setting, but it would require tweaking to publish", but it's really some where in between that answer and the one below it. I had some funny ideas a while ago about just how much my players would like to read before playing in (one of) my campaign worlds...

Frida mutters a short incantation and her gaze falls upon the monster stove. Her eyes flash with divine power and she shouts, "The judgement of the heavens falls upon thee, unnatural creature!" Mystic symbols appear around the oven monster, beams of light slamming into it. I'm Sailor Frida...

I spent most of my formative years in central Queensland, in a small(ish) city named Gladstone. It's a bit south of Rockhampton and a bit north of Bundaberg. There's a little town in SA called Gladstone I noticed when I was going up to Wilpena pound for work. As for recognising me, we may have...

Frida grits her teeth from the pain as the searing fire envelops Mikken. She begins to feel a little faint for just a moment and leans on her staff for support. Biting back a curse, she intones, "Tree of life, restore us!" The sting begins to fade as Mikken and Frida's wounds begin to heal. She...

Could you explain what you mean by "instant"? As in quickened (a swift action), or something else?

I think that's a good point. It's the reason I went with the Warblade numbers rather than, say, the Swordsage numbers. Choosing defensive spells like Death Ward or protection from energy is an opportunity cost. It might be a good idea to have all spell effects teminate at the end of battle...

Great! That's a lot better :). The Eldritch Auras are an ability that is meant to be useful at all times, not just in battle (like their dweomers). They can also give a reason for other people to actually want a battle mage around. Part of being a good team member is being able to aid your...

The girl winces as searing pain travels across the fate link she established with Mikken. She blinks back tears as she begins a new incantation. "O Heaven's light, gird our weapons with thy holy light!" Frida casts Blessing of the Righteous. Our weapon attacks deal +1d6 points of holydamage on...

Wow, you can't get much more out of the closet than that! :D There are two LGSes nearby, plus the various bookstores. I only visit one often, they have better stock, and the owners are friendlier.

Frida lets out a small shriek or fear as the flames erupt from the front of the oven monster, but is relieved to see Kyo unharmed by its belch of flame. Her eyes watering from the high tempeature, she looks to Mikken an sees that he's been singed. Seeking to protect her friend, she invokes a...

Seems best to stick with 'magical' for Frida. Thanks for the information!

Heh. I remember visiting the Super Thay-Mart in Waterdeep in (doomed) game last year.

That's right.

Cool, I hope you like it. It's kind of the opposite to yours, in that you have limited spells in your repertoire (though you can get them from anywhere), but can cast them often. Indeed, you can pretty much cast them all day long if you want (so long as you keep refreshing your dweomers). It...
