I'm not going to construe it as a "good act" myself, merely pointing out it CAN be construed as such. However, ultimately, in my opinion, the question at hand is, "was killing the halfling an evil act?" The SRD states that killing an innocent is an evil act (emphasis mine). It does not say...

What was the time frame between the assault and finding out the halfling was involved in the assault? If he found out the halfling was involved during the assault, it could be construed as "killing to protect others." Ah, but "unnecessary death" is not evil by the RAW. "Killing (or harming)...

Arravis, here's another bit from the SRD: I would submit that the paladin's wife (and without getting into a possible religious flamefest here, I'll say possibly also the unborn child) are examples of "innocent life." She/They has/have been assaulted, and need protection is needed...

Again, require two checks. The first check is the Int check (or Knowledge check) to see if the character knows the trivia or can recognize the pattern inherent in the puzzle; i.e., to see if his mind holds the key at all. The second check is the Wis check, which allows him to realize he HAS...

Disagree. A *player* with, say, a 15 Intelligence should not play his 3 Intelligence barbarian CHARACTER as a master tactician. Conversely, a player with a 3 Intelligence playing an 18-Intelligence wizard should not make repeated uninformed decisions. Intelligence in D&D is defined as (a) raw...

*shudders* Gads, those were awful. "Your characters get swept along, and watch all these really important NPCs - none of whom can be killed because they have uber-powerful-super-DM-magic protecting them - do all the cool stuff while you are just hangers-on." Yuk. The classic example of "the...

Borrowed DA1 - Adventures in Blackmoor for my first adventure, played with 12th level characters using only a borrowed Expert Rulebook (didn't have the Basic Set at the time). You can see vestiges of this adventure in The Burning Sage's Demesne, which I wrote years ago for Eric Noah's Adventure...

The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art has the "good" enhancements from HoHF: Dwarves and HoHF: Elves (thanks again to Benjamin Durbin, who was gracious enough to work with me on including the ones from Elves, even though Elves was still "in development" when I approached him about it; I...

Linky to a very long post addressing how I conceived of addressing the problem of undead (and evil/negative energy) from a cosmological point of view (a couple of years old now): http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=808188#post808188 Note it does not include accounting for...

God bless, Keith. Why is it we never seem to hear about these sicknesses until after the passing away? I understand the "don't want pity" thing, but I for one would have liked to be able to tell Keith "so long, and thanks for all the art." :( --The Sigil

Geh. Fixed. Sorry to both Ryan and Henry. I blame it on getting only 4 hours of sleep last night (thanks to a 9-month-old who has decided that 4 am is a fine time to wake up and a 2-year-old who thinks 11 pm is too early for falling asleep).

Good freaking grief, people. STOP NOMINATING MONTE COOK! Twice in the thread, Ryan (who started the thread) has asked that we exclude those who previously worked on D&D... and mentioned Monte Cook by name as excluded from consideration. I love Monte's work as much as the next guy, but can we...

If Crothian reads as much as he posts on ENWorld, that is truly a compliment. ;)

What? Throwing Dice Games is actually releasing products again? On a semi-regular schedule? This is too *thunk* hi this is sigil's wife - what the heck did you guys do to him to make him faint dead away?

Ah, you are correct. I had to go back and re-parse your post to pick that up. (Emphasis in Morrus' quote above mine) Okay, I gotcha - when I first read that exchange, I read: "can we reference (off site pdf vendors) by name?" "For the moment, I'll say no." And I "full-stopped" there. That's...

Oddly enough, I changed my sig (by chance) a couple of days before the new policy came out. Lucky me. ;) Just a couple of thoughts here... 1. Publishers, in general, very much dislike to be told they can't write/say something. Remember the brouhaha about the "d20 Standards Clause" or...

Understood. I'll push it back until Tuesday (Oct 18, if I'm reading my watch right), and will set us as "ready" when I get into work in the morning (about 8:30 am Pacific). That gives everyone the weekend AND all of Monday to get things set up, but still gives us a week and a half or so before...

Some time after 2:08 pm Pacific (when I posted the announcement) so as to give everyone the full 72 hours (I don't want people to claim I gave them 71.5 and thereby jobbed them ;)).

He was in my top 5... now he's not in my top 5 (but I'm not saying where I *did* list him). --The Sigil

I don't, but it's those whom ENWorld won't let you PM or email. However, I found a 12th (an acquaintance from another basketball site I'm on), and I have "closed the league" by setting the max teams to 12. I will change the autodraft status to "Ready" on Thursday, October 13th - you probably...
