[QUOTE="Slife, post: 3956609, member: 16347"] Hmm... everyone who has in the past predicted the future successfully are now saying that squid-headed beings from the future are going to try to destroy humanity... well, they're all 100% unreliable, and everybody disbelieves them. They're less credible than those guys talking about Roswell. Even that time when they said "a flood is going to overwhelm Monstropolis at 5:12 PM on Saturday, the fourteenth of November, 324" and it did. It was just luck, really. Besides, there's no spell that lets them contact otherworldly beings who have a divine portfolio giving them advance knowledge of the future. It's a good thing that there aren't any spells that can create matter out of nothing with no material component. That would really be bad. Especially since those spells could be cast repetitively. And it's really too bad no spells exist which would allow someone to survive in hard vacuum, or, say, transport themselves to an arbitrary location, or look at places they aren't. Well, it's not like there are several hundred other beings that are like humans, but with animal parts. Let alone evil ones. Who would ever think of such a thing existing. And it's not like anybody has ever created magic that can screw with time, let alone magic that could be known about with a DC 30 knowledge check. And when was the last time you've seen a contingency that hasn't been vague enough to cover all possible forms of imminent death. "If I am about to be hit by an object, creature, or effect which would kill me, teleport me into my secret underground lair out in the middle of nowhere." [/QUOTE]
