DMs that allow PCs access to material outside the SRD should feel completely vindicated in using the same level of power.to mirror an argument about ethics, twofalls posted a question about a year ago about murder in his forgotten realms campaign, and i chimed in that the PCs represent the pathos of the game world.if they behave in one way, then certainly they draw their belief system from something inherent in the structure of "civilization." one could argue, then, that PCs who have access to orbs will meet someone who uses them and are bound to face someone else who has perfected the "science" of orbs.the WLD is just a template for your campaigns. treat it like a cell that breathes in and out through osmosis. if the pcs bring it in, someone, somewhere can reverse engineer it and make it better.am i making sense? or is this 2 am posting way too wordy?</blockquote>
