    A "lawful" debate forgive me please

    To me, the lawful axis means simply a strong acknowledgement and acceptance of the theory that people and society are "better off" in a structured/ordered environment. That "general" assumption starts to falter with some lawful evil types, but even the Baatezu of the Nine Hells believe that a...

    Books of dragons, undead ... What's next?

    The kobolodnomican of course. Just because Koboldnomican is fun to say. Just try it, go on, try it.

    PC annoys Faeries - urgent RB DM advice needed ! (My players stay out)

    Hmm, I'd say go with something to break the spirit of the contract. If the agreement was that "He could build his castle", he could make it "difficult" for the workers he was to hire to actually do the work building the castle to be unable to work (something as simple as the satyr keeps getting...

    Kind of Silly: Improvised Weapons with Bane ability

    Hmm, three ways to approach this issue with ranged weapons and enchantments. 1) The bow is being treated as a sort of 'double-weapon', and it's "melee head" isn't enchanted yada. However, that would still result in an improvished weapon that should be masterwork since I don't believe you can...

    Why Forge Ring when you can Craft Wondrous?

    It gets nice and more confusing if you use Psionics, as there is no forge psionic ring feat, it's folded under the Craft Universal Item feat (Which mirrors Craft Wonderous Item). Of course, I've been leaning heavily towards the EQ manner of item crafting (Trade Skills create the 'base' item...

    Role-Playing vs. Alignment Conflict

    A single flaw does not invalidate ones ability to be 'good'. It is a stepping stone to fall, but hardly a means to break a LG alignment set. Sidenote, the racial animonity between goblins and dwarves exists such that a dwarven fighter code of honor may require the slaughter of any goblin...

    Stargate

    Well, me big smart, and after rereading it, I remember skimming over the comments. Hehe. Oh well, and thanks :). In any event, I really liked Heroes pt 2.

    Player Handouts [Semi-Rumble Rant] for Dungeon Advs

    Hehe, unforunately, the adventure is on the other side :(, as the handouts are pretty much placed as the general art/maps are in most of Dungeon's normal adventures. I'm going to try my luck with a color photocopier in town, and if that fails, I can get markers to accent the props as necessary...

    Official DnD, D20, and OGL - who are you?

    For the most part, I strongly perfer WotC books myself. Although, I do have a fair stock of D20 and OGL books. However, typically if I can find something in a WotC book that achieves what I want, I go with that before a d20/ogl item. My OGL books (EQRPG for the most part) are used to...

    Style and Location defenses

    The implication is slightly inaccurate. In general, the defense modes are simply a set of META/engine level concerns that arose in part due to an rather 'unfair' split between in defense modifiers with certain locations/styles. The application of these as guidelines is a good idea, but it...

    << PLANESCAPE >> How do you defeat the Lady of Pain?

    Hmm interestingly enough, this reminds me of a little Decanonization/Unexplained Change in the world. In the transition from 2e to 3e, FR Psionics went from being different than magic, to being the same as magic (And that change is part to blame for some editing oddities such as the Magister...

    Stargate

    Hmm another fun continuity question from me coming from me realizing something during a recent rerun of Watergate.

    Expanded Psionics Handbook

    But I like the idea of using psions as Mutually Assured Destruction weapons :). Bit disappointed with the blurb news on the half-giant so far, but I'll wait until it's in print and can see the transition :(. Note about the implied campaign setting, it is quite possibly just flavor for the...

    << PLANESCAPE >> How do you defeat the Lady of Pain?

    Hmm, the ones that come to mind are a handful of incidents where later published modules just state something that is contradictory to the canon. Although, FR Canon may be the best place to look for actual canon 'changes'. Of course, FR canon is also a poorer choice(as it is includes...

    [Exp.Psionics] New issue of Dragon reveals info. (Now corrected by Bruce C.)

    Now I'm definantively going Off Topic here... That's more or less how Mage works in fact. I'd like to see some means to apply Subjective Reality Magic to d20 though, although I'm unsure if the Mage 'theme' would be appropiate or not.

    << PLANESCAPE >> How do you defeat the Lady of Pain?

    Well, the means to do such would be on the scale of Limiting the Positive Energy/Negative Energy planes themselves. As the Lady can open (and close) portals to other planes at will, typically it isn't a situation that's all too possible.

    Building a NPC Wizard that flys a wyvern

    It's possible for a Wizard to have one level in Skymage at 6th. Trying to find the old links to the Skymage, and it looks like Wizards may have removed it unforunately :(, as it was part of their Virtual GenCon page. [ Add ] Virtual.gencon.com is EVIL, and I can't find anything there anyway.

    Player Handouts [Semi-Rumble Rant] for Dungeon Advs

    Saw Dungeon 108 at store and noticed the happy fun Challenge of Champions has returned! (The pattern broken, oh-no!) And as I prepare to run the adventure myself I return to one of the most frustrating parts of it. Finding a good photocopier for the player handouts/materials. Anycase, mostly...

    What's the definitive answer:stacking on magic bows and arrows

    The 3.0 reference is slightly off. Arrows (or bolts, whatever the actual projectile was) was what was used for determining if it penetrated DR. Also for 3.5 usefulness, you have it slightly easier to breach Dual DRs (Holy + Silvered, just get holy arrows and a silver bow, :P). Of course I...
