    Collapsing Volcano could trigger Tidal Wave

    You bet. The hero would have the job of trying to persuade the proper authorities to evacuate everyone from the East Coast in the eight or so hours before the Big Wave hits. Good luck, hero-dude. :] Just so long as they don't do any cheesy stuff like having the Big Nasty stop just short of...

    Spells for Non-Spellcasters 101

    Keep in mind that wizards, especially powerful wizards, probably aren't the type to teach the use of their powers to just anyone. A wizard would be perfectly within his rights to require something moderately difficult done for him so the prospective student can prove himself worthy of learning...

    A Fighter Who Forswears Killing?

    Other than having our Kenshin-esque fighter invest in a merciful weapon as soon as possible, you could also put some feats into Improved Disarm (if he's the swashbuckling type) or Improved Sunder (if he's of the big meaty powerhouse persuasion). Relieving an opponent of his weapon or making that...

    1st-level spells that are worthless to a 1st-level caster?

    Quite. It's also a 0-level Cleric and Druid spell. I would have the paladin version of this spell grant one temporary HP per caster level for one minute per level, rather than have the spell grant one measly HP period for just one minute. This is good for the paladin, since he doesn't get to...

    How is Feng Shui?

    Into the sig file with you! :D

    Anyone know where the curse thread is?

    It dates back a year or so ago, and according to Jeph, who was the one to mention it on that other thread, it was fairly huge.

    Prophetic Magic Items

    I like this. And it makes a certain amount of sense too, with the oil being applied to the wounds in question and healing them. And yes, it is suitably nasty against the undead.

    New WotC Web Site Look

    Damn cool. And I mean it.

    "Greying" up the Greyhawk Gods

    I like creepy gods. Kinda lends the old Sword and Sorcery feel to the game. If Boccob is uncaring, Obad-Hai is even more so. A personification of nature itself, he leaves living creatures, including sentient beings, to their own devices, and does not care about those that get caught in storms...

    lost control of my spending sphincter yesterday

    3.5 Player's Handbook 3.5 Dungeon Master Guide 3.5 Monster Manual (yes, finally broke down and upgraded to 3.5) and The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian (kickass Howard goodness)

    Anyone know where the curse thread is?

    I do have a bad habit of killing threads at times. Maybe I should put a Thread Body Count in my sig. :) My reason for posting what I did was so the guys over on the other curse thread could pore over some more fodder for nasty stuff to pull on their PCs. So...any takers?

    Botte secrete ----->Feats?

    Maybe you can do several feats of much the same vein for the monk. After all, there's definitely a spiritual resemblance between swashbucklers and kung-fu stories.

    1000 Things Your Characters do if They Have Deathwishes

    Probably because they're too busy trying to rip each other's throats out. Because demons and devils really don't get along at all. Now that I've got that out of the way... 266. Slapping a king in the face and telling him to go to hell. In front of all his powerful warriors and mages. 267...

    Anyone know where the curse thread is?

    Someone on this thread in the General forum mentioned that there was a fairly big thread about curses on this forum about a year or so back. I didn't get a response when I posted on the thread asking if someone with access to the search function would post a link to that old thread, so I'm...

    Creative Cursing

    Considering I'm the one who killed this thread, I figure I gotta be the one to ask. Would anyone with access to the Search function be so kind as to post a link to the curse thread on the House Rules forum? Thanks.

    Creative Cursing

    One I used for a swordsman character: Every magic-user that you meet will find something about you that inspires unabiding hatred, and will use whatever powers are at his or her disposal to make your life a living hell (character was the son of an evil sorcerer, and he told his father to go to...

    Help us take down an epic-level psion!

    Do you hate the drawing style, the characters, the cliches, the plotting, or what? I've personally wearied of the superhero-style energy blast fights, the save-the-world plots, and various other cliches of most anime myself. But there are a lot of good stories out there in anime-land. Trust me...

    Help us take down an epic-level psion!

    Akira is a cyberpunk anime by Katsuhiro Otomo. It features several people with incredible psychic power. Tetsuo, the main "antagonist," unleashes destruction on a massive scale after he escapes from a military lab designed to keep kids with these kinds of powers under observation. It gets...
