    Visual Artsist?

    I had a Modern game with a sorceress reborn into the world as an artist. She was around during the period of the Last Awakening (between 1950 and 1980) and took a heroic dose of a hallucinogenic drug opening up her mind to the Outside. She used art to manipulate and control the masses, and was...

    Famine in the world

    Nope. The Community modifier for any metropolis per the DMG is +12 roll 4x. The max level is d4+Modifier. There is no increase in scale... Cities built RAW do not have a spellcaster above d4+12 in the city. So again, playing strictly by the rules, which is a good benchmark if we are, you...

    You're on a Boat . . .

    To be honest it is the Movie of the Week solution to it... The person providing more information than absolutely needed is hiding something. Please don't tell me you did this Mark :-p Slainte, -Loonook.

    You're on a Boat . . .

    No one has been eliminated as a suspect by your questioning, though you have red herrings all over the place as obvious DM tools. Honestly I would be SHOCKED, shocked, to be questioned for a theft I committed. So you wasted most of my time investigating by having me burn several hours there...

    Sexual Dimorphism in Humanoids?

    Which I honestly have no problem with. The female drow are given a lot of advantages in the Lolth-based societies (better education [at least in Menzoberranzan], better nutrition as the average male drow is considered somewhere between cattle and a useful bedmate). For my tree example I...

    Sexual Dimorphism in Humanoids?

    First off, just in case there are those who are going to be confused or not aware of what I'm going for in the title... Here is what we'll be discussing. I've noticed that most player race seems to be based on the classic human morphology, with the additional of the occasional fin or feather...

    Blog: Paladin vs. Cleric, fight!

    Let us look at what the Paladin gains for himself: Spellcasting Divine Health Lay on Hands Turning Auras Detection Smite 3rd Level spell Grace Mount Personally, I want to see more Specialists when it comes to Clerics and Paladins. I miss the 2e vibe, and present the idea of Oaths and Mantles...

    Famine in the world

    Greenfield: Again, your entire campaign hinges on the removal of every member of a core class over level 5 to work completely (and no 12th level Rangers or 5th level Clerics of harvest deities either). All of my math follows guidelines laid out in source books for what we're working with and I...

    Protect Your... Weapon

    Everbright will make your equipment immune... And anything that isn't metal should do the trick. In your case crystal would work... And as most games don't really believe in Sunder you should be fine with it ;). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Famine in the world

    150 trips... Impressive. Now our spellcaster's overall travel expenses? 1900 GP for the cost of the spells, the week of spellcasting, 320 gp for the caster's time, and 200 GP/trip for costs of a portable hole. 363000 Carry 60000 swords at the rate we established for the swords (38 GP before...

    Famine in the world

    The cost-benefit you're drawing here is what is the issue. You're using spells in such a way as to be 'game changers' in the economics of your setting.... And they're not. They assist when you get to higher necessity, true, but the costs inherent to your hauls is going to be high. I'm...

    All giants live in the sky!

    I like the idea that mountains are the stairways to heaven. Gives you a chance for giants to deny the heavens to man if they ever get too angered by actions below. The giants send the least of their ilk to guard their mountain stairways, and they are none to happy for the experience...

    Weapons of the Hundred Hands

    คำสั่งซื้อ, Order Description: The blade stands as tall as a man with hand outreached, and bears the motto กฎหมายตรัสดังนั้น. The copper handle bears murals of skeletons dancing hand in hand. If one looks closely the clothing that the skeletons wear denotes their station. Above all stands a...

    Craft overlapping?

    Alright... As I stated you are going to make it very hard to produce large amounts of weapons for your average smiths... A legion is going to need to press gang 100 smiths for a month just to get daggers :D. But if it is how you want to go rather than going with a 12 hr day with a smith able to...

    Famine in the world

    On bags of holding within bags of holding: That's great... The problem is that your above amount of grain will fill a Class III bag of holding. Most trade goods? Again, negligible carriage within that same bag of holding (most things will max out weight far before profitability). And that bag...

    Craft overlapping?

    And that is you problem. The iron being used is not being smelted, carbonized, quenched, etc. The smith is supplying 1/3 of the raw material needed. This is most likely represented as iron ingots that are being extrapolated for the purpose. Most blacksmiths did not have the equipment or time...

    Craft overlapping?

    So I did all of your math and show it doesn't take 2 hours... Did you read the post? Adding artificial requirements destroys crafting. Per your rules anything takes 1 day to make? Have fun trying to outfit your legions... You'll need 50 laborers going for 100 days? Slainte, -Loonook...

    Famine in the world

    And your assumptions on the fact that magic can affect the world is also kind of silly. Let's take the largest cities of the ancient world. Top 10. How many mages live in London? How many in Baghdad? How about Rome? The population doesn't matter! At the maximum we have the following...

    Scribe Scroll: Paper Versus Projection?

    Because Silent Image is not on the Permanency list your whole argument is moot. Again, you cannot make a permanent Silent Image. It only lasts for concentration. The item I listed requires a much higher-leveled image... And the reading of Silent Image has existed since the original creation...

    Famine in the world

    I think you're missing the whole crux of my argument. The amount of money made on subsistence crops even at 40 acres is going to just allow these numbers to grow. Your additional swath of land from the Plant Growth spell is going to add 86 GP to your overall yield. That brings us to 110...
