(2) Inside of this rpg book, Comliness is defined as: "Comeliness reflects physical attractiveness, social grace, and personal beauty. It affects initial reactions to the character, and may affect the wills and actions of others." What book is this?

As far as I know, that's the Unearthed Arcana (1st edition) page 6. It also appears in Dragon November 1985 as well I believe.

No. The quote must be exact. You are definitely on the right track though. It is a TSR book that I am looking for here.

AD&D Oriental Adventures...p.10

Correct! Comliness is defined there exactly as I phrased it. Yes, it is in Unearthed Arcana, but not worded exactly like that, and Dragon magazine is not an rpg book, sorry.

Congrats CoreDump. Select a prize, email me, and I will fire it off to you.

Hussar, I will give you limited points for finding it in Dragon Magazine too. Hussar, you get one of the following books for free: Unorthodox Barbarians, 17 Magic Weapons, or Artifacts I: Ducks of Ultimate Doom. Select one of those three and email me your selection.

Good work to everyone!

(3) In one sentence, describe to me the meaning of the Tao Te Ching #11.

I can't believe none of you tried to answer this one.

This quiz is now closed, so I will answer it for you all. I would have accepted something as simple as "The emptiness is what makes it useful".

The Tao Te Ching is hundreds of years old and is all over the internet. Here is #11:

Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that allows the wheel to function.

We mold clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes the vessel useful.

We fashion wood for a house,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes it livable.

We work with the substantial,
but the emptiness is what we use.

Hooah. I will post a new quiz later this week I think. I will try to think of something good.

As someone who considers himself a Taoist (more than anything else, anyway), I would have tackled this. Of course, with my verbose nature, one sentence might have been tough

What Don't You Know?

[imager]http://www.thele.com/thelegames/images/html/quiz2.gif[/imager] Time for a new What Don't You Know quiz! Prize is one (d20) PDF book of your choice from my library, which can be found HERE. Unorthodox Paladins cannot be selected as a prize.

First one to post the correct answer wins.

While robbing the graves of dead heroes, 5 ancient dragons appear before you, strip you of all your belongings and abilities, and entraps you. They find your actions to be insulting at best, and feel your soul is tainted and evil. After discussing your fate, they decide that you must be sentenced to death. They show you five doors, labeled "A," "B," "C," "D," "E,", and they allow you to choose the door that will lead to your death. Each dragon explains:

"Door A leads you to a room of raging fires built upon the souls of the dead"

"Door C leads you to a room full of 20th level rogues, whose sole purpose is to kill all who enter"

"Door C leads you to a room full of cannibalistic orcs that haven't eaten in 3 years."

"Door D leads you to Death herself, who is cross this morning due to a bad hair day. You may beg for your life, but she hates it when people do that."

"Door E leads you to an ancient device, whose keepers will strap you in and tear you apart limb to limb."

Which is the best door to choose, and why?

Prize is one (d20) PDF book of your choice from my library, which can be found HERE, not including Unorthodox Paladins. Winner, please considering reviewing your prize on Enworld, Gamingreport, or Rpg.net.

Which is the best door to choose, and why?

I like this thread, it's highly entertaining.

The correct answer is door D. You have been sentenced to go through a door that leads to death. If you go through door D, you have been to a door that leads to death, but are not necessarily dead. The other doors just kill you in painful ways.

Thanks! I have been away for a while, but I think I will do this over the weekend for you non gen-con folks (including me).

Your answer is incorrect, either because of the door you choose or the reason, or both.

The answer is

"Door C leads you to a room full of cannibalistic orcs that haven't eaten in 3 years."

Cannibalistic Orcs would NOT eat a human, elf or anyone else of a NON ORC race! - note what cannibalism is!

They would eat but each other!

But why would they have not already devoured each other after 3 years?

The question then is - would they eat only half of a half orc?
