You've obviously never been an associate at a big law firm. --G

So does the ritual caster need to any particular skill set to make a new pattern, or does he merely need the handiwork of a skilled craftsman? --G

So how are these patterns made? Are the relics from an older empire? Or do people know how to make new recipes? If its the latter, there may be a very wealthy class of skilled craftsmen who spend their time tinkering with designs to develop improvements. These craftsmen are likely supported...

Define "modern." While the concepts of intellectual property are post-medieval in nature, the groundwork for intellectual property law started in the early Renaissance era, making them decidedly pre-modern. Property law, at least as it is practiced in much of the United States, is the least...

Keep politics off these boards, please. - Eridanis

My friends, that's a lot of pie. --G

I'm not at all bitter that I was offered the chance to go to GenCon for FREE and help run the Tower of Gygax event, but couldn't jump on it because I need to be working. Nope, not me. --G

If you're going to go this route, give the main body the ability to slide its heads up to 3 within 5 as a minor action, simulating the reach that the hydra has. You'll have to accept the fact that your hydra won't be able to move very fast, until most of it's heads are dead. Maybe you can give...

And beguiling tongue. Don't forget beguiling tongue. If you do, the terrorists win. Okay, maybe not. But it is disturbing that the "evil" class can get diplomacy, bluff, and intimidate scores in the low 30s by second level. <i>Join me, Luke. Together, we can rule the dungeon!</i> --G...

So I have to ask . . . what stats did he end up with? --G

Skulls for the skull throne!

It's not a lie. It's a statement of opinion, which, in this case, is neither demonstrably true or false. ;) --G

Well, I'm not Mercurius, but I have known some very, very smart people who didn't have an imaginative bone in their bodies. So my first point would be that smart != imaginative. People have many different mental faculties, and the more you use one, the stronger it gets. At the same time, the...

Except that temporary hit points don't stack. So the Warlock cannot gain any more temporary hit points until the amount he gains exceeds the amount remaining from the RI. Once that happens, if the Warlock chooses to gain the higher value (from his power), he has overwritten the RI and it's no...

Well, my thought would be that ongoing damage of the same type doesn't stack, right? So now, you can get someone with ongoing lightning 5 and "notreallyongoing! damage" lightning 5 for 10 damage per round. I'm not sure WHY they did it, but I'd read that as the effect. --G

Anyone know what an annual (or monthly) subscription to Dungeon and Dragon cost at the end of thier print run? It would be interesting to compare that with the cost of a subscription to DDI. I've been reasonable impressed with the last few Dragon articles that have come across my desk. --G

You mean like this? --G

Ding ding ding ding ding! Here's the correct answer. When interpreting rules, if one interpretation gives an absurd result, and another does not, the preferred interpretation is the latter. --G

Unless the problem arose from an attempt to modify a pre-existing system in response to feedback from playtesters. --G

Suppose, during your move, you trigger an opportunity attack from an enemy fighter. Combat superiority means you stop moving. Now, suppose you're dealing with an enemy fighter with threatening reach 2. You've just jumped over a chasm, and he makes his opportunity attack before you've landed...
