    What spells would you choose if you were playing a dragon?

    Methinks Gate and Wish might be popular for the older ones, for their versatility, although afer reading some recent threads I find myself partial to the idea of Foresight. For something a little more, ah, practical, Mage Armour seems like a no-brainer. Something you can keep up all day with...

    Suggestions for removing minor material components?

    Since I currently have no intention of enforcing these, it seems natural to remove them. However, now I am wondering what purpose the more expensive material components are supposed to serve once those are gone. The most natural idea to me is that without their expensive component these spells...

    Vote for the unofficial DnD Mascot!

    I've got to agree too.

    Enterprise

    Hey, good news for once. The third season is just starting in Aus and up until this thread I had heard nothing that was not distressing about the show's direction. And now I shall abandon this thread before anything more detailed is posted. Spoilers are one of my two nemesises.

    Is your world round? Do the PCs know it.

    Or put another sun on the outside of the ring, perhaps again giving you regions that are light only every few years, depending on if you want to go for the astronomical or the evocative. Or both. The colour red lends itself well to the feel of a dark outer world and colour contrasts can be fun...

    What Alignment do you prefer to play?

    [Theoretically] Neutral, the munchkin alignment. Heh. Actually, that is just my preference for a character who is intended to act as a person, rather than attempt to embody a philosophy. [Opinion] I suspect that many people who claim they want to/enjoy playing evil characters actually mean...

    Cosmology and traveling

    Here is what a quick perusal of the Incantation rules produced (I used no Seeds, only the form): The example you gave is very much as I envisioned it, with the additional requirement that (at least in this case) the lamps must all be set in motion within ten rounds of the first one (before it...

    Templates and Summoning questions

    Well, thanks. If anyone knows where (if) they have been updated to 3.5 I would appreciate hearing about it. Ah, also forgot to ask about elemental creatures. Of course, I tried creating some axiomatic/anarchic templates of my own, but ran into difficulty devising a spell-like progression for...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    And change all constructs without intelligence scores to evil too?

    Why does Undead=Evil

    That just struck me as the second [best/funniest/most interesting/awesomest] thing I've read today. Mind if I yoink it? Should probably try to contribute something to the topic now that I've responded. The digression seems easier, so: I do not like the idea of a character (the poor, tormented...

    Cosmology and traveling

    They are. And you are right, that is the sort of thing I am after. I had not considered the term 'incantation' and the associations it provokes. Merits a reread of that section at least. After the Future srd is assimilated. Musing aloud now. Confident solutions will eventually be found even...

    Cosmology and traveling

    Sleep is a wonderful thing. I think I can phrase my request in a manner that makes sense now. On the other hand, my first clarification got eaten. So. Problem: I need ideas for rituals characters could perform to access other planes without necessarily casting any spells. Or at least not Plane...

    Orbital Mechanics Questions

    Lord Satan, if you still monitor this thread, can you recommend any good resources for planetary science? Books in particular would be helpful.

    Cosmology and traveling

    I would appreciate some help with planar travel for my setting. First, here is a summary of how they are connected: Prime 4 Directions – Other Prime layers (Up, Down, Law-ward and Chaos) 6 Directions – Elementals (Air, Earth, Fire, Negative, Positive, Water) 3 Transitives – Astral, Ethereal and...

    Templates and Summoning questions

    Where can I find templates for things such as anarchic, axiomatic, fey and shadow creatures? Halfbreeds? Planetouched versions? Would there be any problems with using aasimar and tieflings as templates rather than races in their own right? I'm running on the assumption that other planes deserve...

    D'ivers

    Hey, no worries. I get around pretty slowly no matter the occasion. I would suggest we start a thread to farm ideas for a conversion - but that should probably wait until the Encyclopaedia Malazica is published. You are probably right about it being possible to do it with one template. In...

    Hopefully quick questions

    Thanks again. I saw the epic advancement for it on Wizard's website and it seemed like a good fit, but not essential. I won't be buying Savage Species for just the one class. As for having it under control, that's debatable. ;) But I am of the opinion that a well-run illithid is one the players...

    Orbital Mechanics Questions

    True. And it doesn't stop me from using them, but it sounds like ajanders already has a mystery planned for the system. Forgot to mention earlier, an atmosphere on jovian moon sized objects (our moon) would probably be a temporary thing (well, a million-year plus temporary thing, but still a...

    Finding the best cartoon of all time

    Is that so? Read them so far apart in time I thought it was the same person. Thanks, now I can stop looking for something to learn today.

    Best to make it a very small one, then. :p
