[QUOTE="Someone, post: 5997503, member: 5656"] I miss rulebooks that are interesting to read. Something with spells like this: [b]Mordenkainen's apprentice's brother in law's spherical apocalypse of fiery destruction[/b]: By invoking this powerful dweomer the conjurer creates a small ball of shining fire, the exact size of a pea only slightly bigger. Then, with a maniacal laughter and callous enjoyment he throws it at a maximum distance of 40 feet and ten cubits, no more no less. Upon reaching the designated distance or premature impact with an object of sufficient solidity, the shining bead detonates with terrifying roar, creating enough flames to fill a spherical volume with a radius equal to the length a tortoise would traverse in the time it takes a tortoise to travel 20 feet. The flames damage the goblins, the blacksmiths, the tree sloths, the shoes, the porpoises, the rocks, the sheets of parchment, the doors, the giants, the swords, the vials of potion, the clouds, the tables, the socks, the dark elves, the door to door salesmen, the pears, the mice, the dust, the feelings of hope, the pulleys, the structural elements such as beams, the bunnies, the tomatoes, the warlocks, the calendars, the gazebos, the nail clippings, the artifacts, the rats, the atheists, the pink things, the people who have used 'Bob' as a false name, the con men, the albinos, the door hinges, the scorpions, the tickets, the computers, the mugs, the pantaloons, the dust mites, the opposition, the stairs, the trolls, the signatures, the mages laughing maniacally, the parrots, the coconuts, the dirt, the oversized t-shirts, the kickstarter ads, the saints, the skeletons, the closets, the wands, the zombies, the maladjusted, the curious, the lamps, the halfling restaurant leftovers, the people who wear hats, the baskets, the dwarfs, the theater critics, the swordmasters, the evil henchmen with six fingers in his right hand, the spellbooks, the books that do not contain spells, the glaives, the guisarmes, the spears, the glaive guisarmes, the partisans, the halberds, the bohemian ear spoons, the bardiches, the spetums, the military forks, the lochaber axes, the naginata, the yari, the voulges, the polearms, the beholders, the cantankerous, the rulers, the robes, the crystal balls, the bards, the treasure, the traffic signs, the poultry and the stand up comedians in the volume, along with any other thing that can be damaged by magical fire.
