"At least she's sensibly dressed and standing on the ground?"

So I assume the other land she shifted to was the Pathfinder setting, and thus serving as a link from the 3.5 campaigns to the Pathfinder ones? And while you can't get into details for NDA reasons, the Spellplague and 100 year time jump, used by Wizards to introduce the 4th Edition in the...

I'm actually curious how that one came to be, actually. A good save gets you +12 at 20th level, +5 for appropriate magic items. Assuming an initial 18, all 5 points going into the ability, a +2 racial bonus, +6 enchantment bonus, and +5 from the Tome/etc., you'll have an ability score of 36 in...

She should look on the bright side. She has a name at least! Also, instead of retreating, she could have done the "you go on. I'll hold them off as long as I can" thing, thus buying her allies time to escape. That works as a paladin thing.

I assume in the first post was a typo? You meant Daelric, maybe? Good ending, though I still expect more about our reincarnating friend and associated others. It's a shame we didn't get TC's offer in character. "Come. We see pretty sights. Kill new things. Moo." Not to mention what...

Am I the only one who misses the 3rd Edition fluff for these guys? Weapons of the gods are neat and all, but I prefer the actual bastard children of the gods angle. And I'm not sure if I want my abominations, Tarrasque, and old high-level monsters like the Nightshades in the same grouping. I...

That's sort of true. Civilization and geography lack any corrolation, but some lawful and chaotic monsters are located at the appropriate sides. The actual inhabitable area is fairly small; there is nothing but endless fog past a point on the chaotic south, and bright lights similar to the...

Would that always be true, though? The only fictional self-defined ring worlds I am aware of are the books of the same name, which I haven't read, and Halo, which I thought were comparatively small in the sense that you can see the other side above you and the land "rise" up on both sides...

How is a ringworld flat, though?

Oh, neat stuff. I didn't even consider some of these questions. The world is actually linear; it has a seemingly endless north and south, but the east and west end in cliffs to nowhere. The "sun" traverses from north to south, and technically there is a new sun every day. The seasons are...

I've been using a flat world setting for a couple of years now (no, it's not shaped like a disc, I'm not that unoriginal,) and I was starting to wonder how the world would look to its inhabitants. For example, one of the common clues to a spherical world was that sailors noticed mountains and...

Those were the Rilmari, right? I think they actually predate 3rd Ed. From what I heard from fans, the modern incarnation is not very well-liked. This was the book that brought back the Dark Ones as well, didn't it? Again, that's not a new design, but arguably attempt to make an old design...

I find the idea that the FF was intentionally designed to make the next drow/gith very interesting, especially since that's been my favorite of the MM expansions (though that might just be a balance issue as much as everything.) If the kaorti won that competition, the Shadar-Kai came in second...

Ouch. I would have suggested feebleminding or otherwise neutralizing non-lethally, but if it's an immediate action he could have probably saw it coming and offed himself first anyway. Well, maybe a still and silent spelled feeblemind, or one cast by the invisible, but otherwise that would be...

Oh, I have one: What was Nulonga's deal?

I think that in the SCAP, JD actually made the final battle easier. By having ENTROPY help the party. It still wasn't enough, which points to that not being a very balanced fight.

So, what does happen to him now, technically? Reincarnation, oblivion, etc.? It's possible Mandi was actually performing an act of mercy there. I'm glad they didn't REALLY go for the "your mentor/guide throughout the entire game was actually the villanous mastermind!" twist. That one's so...

I guess SOMEBODY didn't look too closely at the knight in the PHB2. Or he did, and had the same response that I did. :)

I'm not so sure that's a good thing. For one thing, if you're going to fiat the better armor for the PCs, why even give the blacksmith a skill bonus. It's just as good as it has to be. By giving it a value, though, I want it to make sense. Like in this case, if he's the greatest blacksmith...

Psh, is that all? So if he spent a month summoning a few celestials a day, would he get kicked back to neutral or even good? Wait, what spells are we talking about? I don't remember him using many in the recaps in the first place. That's a bit of a sticking point for me. If the spell was...
