    Cale is a chosen of a deity as well as a shade?

    Mary Sue- Not sure I understand

    Now I want someone to tell me that Ed's version of the realms are not sex obsessed.

    Mary Sue- Not sure I understand

    Another one again involving our Lady of prostitutes: Sharess, as you might expect, doesn't mind WHO gets married (in other words, beings of the same gender, beings of different races, beings already married to others, beings very closely blood-related to each other - - all sorts of unions are...

    Mary Sue- Not sure I understand

    I'll share with you some small snipets from So Saith Ed: The Hooded One signing off, with a "You're welcome" to Karth. I hope I can give you another big grin with this little gem: me leaving to walk to the bus to get to Ed's for the weekly Realms session, and my mother calling out the front...

    "4E, as an anti-4E guy" (Session Two)

    Honestly only a computer game could handle the spatial geometry of combat perfect.

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Not really. It is not fun to be the king of some piss poor track of land in the middle of nowhere. The border kingdoms are a bandaid.

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Actually becoming a power player in the realms is not just impossible because those echelons are populated by wizards at least in their mid to high twenties. It is because the intricate conspiracies and organizations that exist are ancient and it would be impossible for players to navigate those...

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    That part is the biggest issue AFAIK. Sure the argument that because El and the sisters exist they should do everything is false; they are extremely busy keeping this and that plot down. But on a power level within lore, the players really should never get a chance to shine. The vast majority...

    Psion to debut in July

    I am pretty sure Rechan does not mean pyrokinesis but rather the 3.5 kineticist who could use any energy type under the sun. I want the psion to be a controller with two builds to start with, a leader secondary telepath and a striker secondary kineticist. Lots of force effects and maybe some...

    WOTC Campaign Tools

    Up until now I am impressed with the digital initiative (except for Dragon and Dungeon magazines which are declining). Both compendium and character builder are constantly getting updated and improved. Any utility they can produce that is of similar quality will be embraced by the DDI community...

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    The very definition of Mary Sue is a character that serves as the writer's avatar.

    4th ed Divine Power excerpt on WOTC "Miracle Worker"

    Reap what you Saw is a daily though. Dailies can afford to be situational.

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    That does sound like an issue and I have to admit I know nothing of how WotC assigns projects. There just are certain writers who I'd expect do not need to do much research to write a book in FR and I don't see why they could not limit FR projects to those, given that they usually have produced...

    Teleporting Weenies from Hell

    I wonder id resurrecting the amazingly OP anticipate teleportation spell could be of use to you.

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    The thing is, WotC has access to at least a dozen writers who are experts in anything FR. They wrote the best 3.5 FR books and novels after all. I don't think they would have had any issue keeping up with the Realms canon. And the main issue I have with the timeleap is the dozens of very...

    OotS 666

    Giant In the Playground Games I love the reference in the last panel (the last thing Haley and Roy were talking about was Xykon's con and them not thinking like rogues). And I seriously wonder what Roy's plan is since it can end everything in seven weeks. Mind you seven weeks is a long time...

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Also a canon lawyer that allows his character information he should not have in game is not a problem because he is a canon lawyer, he is a problem because he is a bad player.

    4th ed Divine Power excerpt on WOTC "Miracle Worker"

    I am worried the boost may be too serious. Especially combined say with the Mark of Healing, it could make a party completely unkillable.

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Ehm I am an FR canon Lawyer. But I only DM so it's not a problem. And yeah if I played in the realms I'd be a sun elf loremaster and I would be horrid! I need to dig out Ed's full description of the marital rites of Sharess . . .

    Teleporting Weenies from Hell

    I was thinking about a githyanki team myself. They are scary with arcane classes:)
