    How long to envenom a weapon?

    I'd say a few minutes for a dagger or sword. Much faster for say a blowdart. Why not poison it in the sheathe, then wax it closed to prevent air spoilage?

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    On the subject of the ring, Velendo's Searing Light burned right through it's head, presumably searing the brain. That sounds more like 'dead' than 'mortally wounded' to me, so the ring may have had a Ressurection ability.

    7 to 8 pc's of 16th Lvl Avg.; Opinions on what CR Red dragon to throw at the group

    Follow PKitty's lead and make the weapons really go away. When you disarm someone unarmed you end up holding the weapon. Now where will a dragon be holding it if he uses his bite attack, and what can he do then? :)

    how do you strip paint off a mini??

    Note that most of the above solutions will result in Chaos Spawn minis if used on plastic miniatures.

    7 to 8 pc's of 16th Lvl Avg.; Opinions on what CR Red dragon to throw at the group

    If you use BADD tactics an Adult would be a fight, and a Mature Adult would be a struggle with perhaps some deaths. More risks a TPK. But it depends on the factors listed by gfunk. If the dragon is asleep in it's lair and after waking up just goes straight into melee (stereotypical behavior)...

    Wooden Breasplate???

    I wouldn't think it would be possible in 'normal' form. The plate would need to be unreasonably think to provide any protection, and the maiile parts would be worthless. Plus the construction would be different for a wooden breastplate than a normal iron breastplate, and the latter design is...

    Grim and Gritty Penetration values

    The problem with the Penetration system is that it is unbalanced. Compare a longsword (P0) and a heavy pick (P6). Average damage of the sword, 4.5. Average damage of the pick, 3.5. Thus they do equal damage against padded armour and against anything heavier (leather and above) the pick is always...

    Mercurial Weapons -- good idea or bad idea?

    (warning, physics ahead) Angular momentum is conserved. That means that when the angular moment of the sword is increased as mass shifts to the tip, the velocity decreases by the same factor. The inertia of the mercury resists the sweep of the sword. Now momentum is related to mass and velocity...

    Isn't there a feat in the ELH that allows you to add your full stat when making items?

    Gauntlets and Bows

    That makes sense. So yes from both rules and 'real' perspective.

    Ken Hood's Martial Artist

    Thanks for that, but I was looking for the actual class (the .pdf has the psionic Martial Savant in the appendix, but I'm looking for the Martial Artist).

    Ken Hood's Martial Artist

    As we all know by now, Ken Hood has taken his site offline until he has time to update it properly. I'm looking for his Martial Artist class if anyone knows where I can get it or can email it to me - I know there was a thread with some of his stuff attached recently, but without the Search...

    Gauntlets and Bows

    From a RL point of view, accurately firing a bow while wearing a lobstered gauntlet on the right hand would be very difficult, since you can grip the string as precisely.

    Then you need to find the imperial throne. Then the empire. Then some subjects.... :)

    The Rape of Morne [Final Update]

    I've just been reading through the old threads, and came across the result of Mostin's Metagnostic Enquiry way back when: The Eagle seeks an effective solution and is thereby satisfied. If the vine bears too many bad grapes, then the wine will be poor, And a ruthless vintner is preferred over a...
