[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5487005, member: 6669384"] Better telescope, eh? But where shall we build it... <don's top hat with steam-punk goggles> I know! At the center of the earth, the heat will easily provide a furnace of sufficient power, and if all the mass is around us, then all of it should be pulling outwards at equal force, so we'll be in a null-gravity zone. You can make wonderful things in such a place, completely free of micro-stress fractures that come from gravitational forces. But to get there we'll first need a boring machine! To the workshop! <removes hat> Okay, that machine is boring enough. Let's not add yet another fantasy genre to the mix, eh? :) Consider this as a thought experiment. There are, in the D&D multiverse, an infinite number of planes, including an equally infinite number of "prime material" planes. Understanding that "infinite" doesn't simply mean "a really large number", we can realize/speculate that someplace out there, absolutely anything is true. Someplace out there exist worlds in which every lie we've ever told, every dream we've ever dreamed, every story we've ever heard, are all true. Maybe even all true at the same time! So the goal shouldn't be to conquer your neighbor or rule your world, since someplace out there you've already succeeded. And, in fact, someplace out there, you've not only succeeded, but the "you" of that world is conveniently missing. So your goal shouldn't be to change the world, but rather to change worlds, to find the one that exactly conforms to your dreams and ambitions, a world where you get the girl and she doesn't press charges, where you not only get to rule the world, but have an admin assistant capable of taking care of all the unpleasant details, leaving you with nothing but the fun parts. So, what's the DC for the Knowledge Planes skill check? How many bumps can we add, and how do we add them? [/QUOTE]
