Searing Light

[Alexander123]

Ah, I misread.

I have a tendency to associate non-seriousness with relaxation.

Perhaps because of a psychologist by the name of Osho who taught people how to relax and also preached non-seriousness. That might have been the reason.

Now since this is Dandu's topic and he wants us to stay on topic let us be polite and return to the original topic of discussion.

Dandu,

Why may I ask don't you have the book?

Is it because you don't like the setting?

Eberron if anything would be a place where such ideas as yours would find better reception except perhaps for science fiction.

The reason being that Eberron has a more steampunky feel as opposed to settings which have a more middle-age feel like Dragonlance for instance.

The setting itself also considers magic to be the D&D equivalent of science and this idea of yours seems like something the U.S. government would be developing in the next 100 years or so.

It also has in it's history civilizations which reached great heights of magical progress so it would not be out of place if some epic character perhaps created such a machine.

1) Go to moon

2) Find or make crater of proper size and shape.

3) Use Fabricate to convert top layer of minerals to more reflective minerals- micah, obsidian, silver, iron pyrite, nickel etc., in an extremely thin layer- to make your mirror.

1 spin
2 orbital rotation
3 miss

of course, that assumes a distinct lack of magical aiming.

Dandu,

Have not found a copy in my local bookstore, because that is the only way I ever get DnD books.

Yeah, the only way.

“There is a far more dreadful than a black dragon.” Derminlus says while pointing to the city line. Noartud turns and looks at where the city wall once stood. Her face goes nearly white when she sees over three dozen gigantic skeletons march through the rune streets. They’re monstrous swords cleaving several men with each passing.

A crowd of soldiers stands circled around a small batch of undead when the ground has a slight tremor. When the guards look up to see what it might have been a large bone hands grips the corner of the building while a large skeleton head peers around. Raising it’s sword and slicing across it cleaves eight men in half before the blade carves a large gash in the stone wall. Swinging back out it kills four more. Men throw spears and axes in desperation but they only reflect off. Soldiers jump and dive to avoid the blade deadly touch for most the effort is useless. A soldier twirls a grappling hook and launches it catching the massive collarbone. With no hesitation he wraps the chain around a near by column and braces his foot. The skeleton beast tries to turn and slice more men in two, the chain tighten and is jerked back. With anger the skeleton turns it’s blade and strikes the columns bottom. Rocks fly out and the soldier falls to his ass as the chain gives ways and snaps free. With a step forward the skeletons blade slices down the soldier barely rolls out of harms way. Turning his head he sees the blade several feet in the ground when it pulls back up. With another strike barring down more grappling hooks catch the skeleton structure two one each shoulder, a couple in the ribs, and two on the sword arm. With men force pulling back they slow the sword just enough for the soldier to roll out of the way. The skeletons sockets flare as it shifts it body dramatically back and forth. Men try to hold there footing only to be ripped from the ground and dangle as the chains flip back and forth. As they skeleton flails around more men toss they’re grappling hooks and try to hold the creature. It’s not until nearly twenty men have hold of fifteen chains is the demon restrained and the soldiers move in with swords and axes smashing the skeleton to dust.

Leranes sword splits two more wraiths as gigantic skeleton steps in to eye view. Men can only scream as it takes it first swipe. Leranes does a side tuck roll as the sword passes over head. Blood of those around her spray the ground coating it thick. Leranes does many flips and rolls to dodge the attacks while others are laid to waste. Her motions leave her a couple feet out of range as she watches the skeleton slaughter all others. Tipping it’s head up it releases eye beams traveling parallel towards her. The beams disrupting the ground as they pass along. She throws a arm over her face as the beam reaches out to her.

okay. nice flavor text as for the phased thing it it wasnt physically in this plane how would the mirrors reflect? wouldnt it have to be physically here to have them bouce off? of course you could have it on like plane of light sending the stronger energy through the gate into the array

The moon might not have full orbital rotation- it could be tidally locked.

And I bet if it wasn't, someone with this plan would make it so. And anyone powerful enough to do that is powerful enough to put the moon over the intended target as well.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I was wondering the same thing. It's apparently in several threads by him, I'm just not sure what he's driving at. I'd like to know, too.
