Loved him in the last season of The Practice, can't wait for Boston Legal to start showing here. Him and Alan Shore, either one on screen gets a big grin from me. Denny Crane, yes.:D

Unless you are avoiding them because you did not enjoy the first book, it might be a good idea to check them out. I doubt there will be any spoilers as they are set roughly a century before the series itself. Currently reading: The Dark Tower series, and more specifically The Dark Tower book...

Did that even exist at the time this discussion happened?

In all seriousness, *YOINK*

Thought it might be fun to start a thread for collecting stories of folks have done something that, on the surface, seems to go against an established stereotype but actually supports it. My example: I have decided to reinforce the stereotype of physically frail elves better suited to matters...

Rhetoric much?:P I'll hazard a guess that this Aslan race provides the 'lion men' referenced earlier. It seems once again Umbran essentially speaks for me. But to attempt to actually contribute, let's see what throwing out random advice will get me. I recommend that the virtues of not allowing...

Progress now. Have read the first six of the Lemony Snicket books, the discworld novel Night Watch and just today started on the Dark Tower series.

Lesse now. I was looking around some of the Song of Ice and Fire sites when I stumbled across a Wheel of Time and, for some reason, decided to register there rather than elsewhere. Perhaps because theorising about WoT seemed more fine while reading discussion of soiaf seemed more interesting...

Well, I never played before 3.5 ed, though I had heard haste used to age the characters. Never did like the sound of that. :) However, if you folks think that it would work best as a use of Bestow Curse to advance a character by two age categories I am inclined to listen. It was already phrased...

Happy Birthday Song Necromancy Level: Bard ?, Sorcerer/Wizard ? Components: V, M Casting Time: 6 rounds Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature in range Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Fort 1/2 or Will 1/2? Spell Resistance: Yes When this spell...

I have certainly found this discussion useful as well. In fact, reading your post just now has made me realise that the reason I perceived a use for potentially infinite tracking of a character's alignment was because I was looking at it from the perspective of redeeming an evil character...

Looks like I have to give this one to you unless I come up with something brilliant overnight. Probably just as well. The idea of someone working to summon up an evil god and not detecting as evil doesn't sit well with me anyway.:) Wait, what if she doesn't know the creature is evil? That's a...

Ah, misunderstanding/miscommunication. The Summon seed specifically summons Outsiders, to summon a different type of creature of CR 2 adds 10 to the DC. Then you need to add 2 more to the DC for each CR higher than 2 that the creature you summon is. A Gloom is a specific type of epic monster and...

I, too, would like to express my fondness for that particular author. "O Excrement, I am going to die," indeed. One of my very favourite books. Love the horde. :D And now it is time for a little parable. A few weeks ago Pratchett was doing a signing for Going Postal, but on that particular...

Well, the difference here is (again refering to Gez as example) he (apologies for the pronoun) has already stated that it is his policy to rule the pursuit of evil ends through good deeds as evil. I am working from the stance that it is the action which determines the alignment, hence summoning...

I used Architecture & Engineering just the other day. :) But that was as a potential source of information for an adventure so maybe that doesn't count. Otherwise I couldn't say.

Don't be ridiculous. He's just an old softie really.

Any mistakes or possible improvements to be made to these? The underlined factors in particular are ones I am uncertain about including. Or do epic spells belong in the Rules forum? I plan on using this spell (or power) as the objective of an adventure for my players and want to get it right...

Ok. Here's one I prepared earlier, let's see how it holds up. Take the stereotypical "I want to bring forth an Evil god or other supremely powerful being into the world" situation. Generally a number of items must be acquired by your cultist before a big ceremony takes place. If we allow that...

Markn has the right of it. My intentions with this were not to try to control the players but to better determine when and if their actions have changed their alignment. I simply do not feel comfortable with handling such a matter by fiat - to me that seems more likely to degenerate into the...
