The rules as I read them are pretty straightforward - regardless of whether the abilities are similar or not, any item that takes up one of your precious slots uses the 1x - 1.5x - 1.5x (etc) price structure. The 'similar abilities' pricing is intended for things like a staff with multiple...

Samwise Didier. He's done a lot of concept artwork for Blizzard (most of his gallery is newer Warcraft stuff). --Impeesa--

FWIW, if for some reason they did stack, it would indeed reduce it to zero. The rules for stacking multipliers go the other way, too. ;) --Impeesa--

Darn, too slow. :) I was going to suggest that they be throwbacks to some noble dragon ancestor - the 'modern' dragon bloodline was contaminated by the magical detonation, and these rare specimens are actively hunted as they mature and their nature becomes apparent. --Impeesa--

Rip off Chrono Trigger, and replace time travelling with plane hopping. Example: Some horrendous entity of Cthonian proportions sleeps at the heart of the multiverse, spinning off new planes and gates between them with its mere presence. Eventually, the planes closest to it are drawn in and...

I'm told by many people that the AT is a mixed bag. It looks cool on paper, and does start to pull ahead of the curve at high levels, but levels 3-12 or so will be very painful. The only real path to the AT costs you a number of caster levels, , which always sucks, but at the same time you don't...

Hey, let's not be hasty here.... if anyone's just going to go destroy a bunch of old Magic cards, why not send 'em to me and I'll photocopy you some tokens. ;) Anyways... I didn't get to Gencon... had no intention of doing so, I didn't know how nicely it would have worked out until it was far...

A splash of Exalted Arcanist will get you in, as will the Arcane Disciple feat with an appropriate domain. Of course, then you're relying on supplements to fix core problems... ;) --Impeesa--

If I recall correctly, CR = party level should be a fairly average encounter, consuming about 25% of the party resources. CR or EL = party level + 4, as in the case of the four evil clones, should be much more difficult - roughly 50/50 chance of either side making it out. Makes sense, given that...

Back in the early days of 3E, I had a friend who played a halfling paladin decked out with a spiked gauntlet, spiked shield, and spiked breastplate (or full plate, don't quite remember). We always figured we'd just roll him up into a ball and throw him, and now we could. :D --Impeesa--

Can they make any sort of remotely meaningful contribution to an encounter? Given the 15 level difference, they probably couldn't do anything useful in an encounter tough enough to be worth XP for the PCs - if it happens that they do, sure, give 'em a share. If not, they're just people who...

Warcraft and Midnight, just off the top of my head. --Impeesa--

If you had a spell that gave, say, a +1 unnamed bonus to strenght, you couldn't cast it 10 times for a +10 bonus. --Impeesa--

To some of my friends, exchanging verbal abuse is the social equivalent of friendly sparring. An abusive but witty tirade is the highest form of compliment. One of my friends, some time after moving far far away, lamented the inability of his new acquantances to properly dish it out. Then some...

Once, many a year ago, I inflicted a Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity on a Dwarven Battlerager... I also once played a shifter who had his dead sister as one of his stored forms (homebrew 2E shifter I found on the net somewhere, again several years ago). That's about the total extent of the...

I was being facetious. :P I do appreciate the creativity that went into all those descriptions - and speaking as a player who was on the receiving end more often than not, that's high praise indeed. ;) --Impeesa--

Or you can rewrite them yourself pretty easily. Just assume that any simple action (talking to the mayor, laying in a field watching the clouds) runs a 10% chance of death by impaling critical. Scale up from there and be creative with your descriptions. :) --Impeesa--

Only one thing to say here: God does not play dice with the universe. :] --Impeesa--

When I was in about grade 8, my family took a 7 week trip across Canada. During the trip I 'designed' a very simple mechwarrior-ish wargame to play with my brother (long before I ever discovered minis wargames, D&D, or hell, even mechwarrior). I drew an entire sheet of hex paper. Does that...

It's in addition to your normal unarmed damage, or armor spikes damage, as near as I can tell. --Impeesa--
