Yep. I should have qualified my point but I just didn't want the unlucky ranger thinking he had to necessarily return entirely empty-quivered.

Not if he recovers them on the Astral Plane first, of course.

Unless they're magical, consumable effects; see my post above.

Incidentally, I don't see how this works. Once you've used up the Luck Blade's three wishes on the Astral Plane, they're also gone from the original Luck Blade. "If the traveler's astral form employs magic items with a limited number of uses (such as potions, scrolls and wands), the uses are...

I'd do that if I had high scores.

Flawed, yes, 'not fully thought out', okay but 'never thought out' is clearly an over-claim when there are many aspects of the magic system that are obviously the result of being 'thought out'. Hyperbole does your argument - and the game's authors - a disservice.

Taking your point about classes like the sorcerer first, yes, my proposal is particularly weak when it comes to inherent abilities. Perhaps such classes wouldn't be appropriate at all in a campaign like this. However, it does lead to some other interesting possibilities. The student of wizardry...

The same thing as his 6 Wis evil cleric foe. Isn't that true of any game you'd be perfectly happy to try? ;)

TwoSix, I know. I was just trying to interject a little fun interlude. I wouldn't still be reading if I didn't see value in the posts.

I voted for the default and I play 3.5. However, one thing I'd like to try - because I think it would be fun, even though the last group I floated the idea with wasn't that interested - is this: Players choose their class and then roll 3d6 in order. Yeah, I know but wait for it. All the NPCs...

Look, I'm only 49 and I've only been playing since the seventies but the words 'circles', 'in' and 'talking' spring to mind. Yes, there's a lot of carefully considered and articulately framed opinion on all sides but it's surely time to take a breath and remind ourselves of what's important...

I just listen to my inner voice.

Empire of the Petal Throne! Ha, ha, ha, harghle! No. Probably Greyhawk in spite of all its truly utterly awful place names. Familiarity and longevity let it get under your skin. From the last twenty years? Ptolus, in spite of the pussies.

I like the imagination behind the question but personally I'd be hesitant to allow other spell-casting items to invoke the runestaff's spells. Why? I simply refer to the opening line of the runestaff entry (on page 224 of the MIC): "A runestaff allows the wielder to use her own arcane energy to...

I've always thought of you as medium sized, your avatar notwithstanding. Incidentally, I'm seeing N'raac's side of the phantom steed issue, too. But hey...

As long as your wizard's sweat doesn't extend beyond a one-foot cube or you have several cubic feet's worth of cantrips ready, that's fine.

Says who? It's easy to create such a thing within the rules. It's also absurd for players to assume they know all the etymologies of any creature their DM might bring to introduce. Or should players be entitled to know exactly what kinds of dragon they're likely to meet ahead of time?

I think others have made very good points about understanding what you allow. I'll allow stuff from any source, as long as I think it's balanced after having been given time to think over it first (by which I mean a day or more). Edit: one thing that concerns me is symmetry. When a player asks...

Prospero wasn't dysfunctional? Have you never seen Forbidden Planet?
