    repairing items using arcane magic?

    Neither of those makes sense to me either. Plus, Fabricate is a whopping 5th level spell. Methinks the wizard has to research an arcane equivalent to Make Whole, or else I have to house rule something. woo woo :\

    repairing items using arcane magic?

    What are the spellcasting options for arcane casters who intend to repair mundane items? I'm thinking specifically of repair of a ship's hull but the question also applies to non-wooden gear. Mending only applies to objects of 1 lb. or less, and Make Whole is divine only. I don't have access...

    Sailing without a crew

    Survival indeed says that 5+ ranks means you can tell where north is. No offense, but big deal. I know where north is right now and I'm still not able to navigate my way that far outside the city. Knowing north is only half the battle. What do you do if you have no landmarks to refer to? It...

    Sailing without a crew

    I hadn't considered that connection between sailing & theatre. That's really cool. And kinda explains the continuing fascination with Gilbert & Sullivan... ;)

    Sailing without a crew

    I'm not sure how well they reflect nautical reality, but Broadsides by Living Imagination lists optimal, adequate, and skeleton crew numbers for a variety of ship types. As regards using animated skeletons in a skeleton crew... ordinarily, mindless undead wouldn't do as they could not...

    Dragon #325 has arrived

    Still waiting for my copy... guess the new sorcerer PC I'm playing tonight won't benefit from the arcane background article. :(

    Tell me about flumphs in your world

    Flumphs? In my campaign? Three words: flatulent crime boss.

    Ring of Readiness?

    I'm not sure if its been converted to 3E/3.5. However, a Glove of Storing can perform a similar function with hand-held objects.

    I like Linnorms. Do you?

    They've shown up in our Planescape campaign as we're all a bunch of Norse berks from Glorium. Nasty things. We've negotiated with one or two grey linnorms, and were nearly taken apart by a third. The Corpse-tearer Nidrhogr is also a unique beast in our campaign, though it seems to have spawned...

    Mind Flayers and Related Beasties?

    Isn't there also a degenerate species of mindflayer in Krynn? Yaggol or yoggol or somesuch. [edit] Yep --- the yaggol, from waaaay back in Monstrous Compendium 4. A degenerate offshoot of the illithids, more muscular, less psionic. Basically a failed colony that went wild. I'm not sure if they...

    No vampire giants?

    "Fee-fie-foe-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman." :lol:

    Mind Flayers and Related Beasties?

    There's also a series of illithid grafts in Fiend Folio. Slap one on and become the hit at your next party! Dragon 296 included an Illithidkin PrC in its article on monster cultists. Dragon 308 had an article on illithid items including symbionts.

    Do you read short stories?

    I'm afraid that this interweb-thingy has eroded my attention span, so that all I read are forums. ;)

    Daylight Sensitivity-combatting goggles?

    Why not just treat them as a masterwork item, available from dealers in optics? Construction could be either tinted glass or obsidian, and the price shoudn't exceed 55 gp or so. The other option is to use snow goggles, which may not be the look you're going for.

    Origins of the d20 system?

    I'm not certain if there is a direct connection, but d20's use of prestige classes suggests a link to Warhammer Fantasy Role Play. On the other hand, it might just be fancy multiclassing. Anyone know anything about this?

    Worst Beers Ever.

    Does Bud Ice qualify as beer or as water?

    Steven Eriksons Malazan series

    Steven Erikson...? <googles furiously> I thought he was familiar. He's another anthropologist! And, now that I'm looking at a photo of him, I've seen him shopping at a bookstore near here. I've been told by two people to read his stuff, and now this thread comes up. All right, world, I get...
