16h	answered	What is the best way to prevent abuse of the gate spell?
May 2	comment	How do I tell how long my adventure is going to be? They get sidetracked by the scenery. They quickly figured out there was no way they were getting the loot but they still spent half a session goofing off with the living objects only teleporter in a shaft.
May 2	answered	What are ways player characters could awake an ancient evil?
Apr 25	comment	Dealing with extreme luck You're assuming there's no way to cheat at rolling. Back in college there was a RISK game where I realized my opponent was definitely cheating (I had had suspicions before and worked out the math--he was several standard deviations out.) I started rolling where everyone else but him could see--and he refused to play. Admittedly that's d6s rather than d20s but I've seen people who seem to roll high too much even with a d20.
Apr 16	comment	Good Single Word Instruction for “Command” Spell @Undreren: Of course but it simply takes one target out for a round, there are other ways of accomplishing that. An innovative use of the spell will get you a greater benefit than that.
Apr 16	comment	Good Single Word Instruction for “Command” Spell While I have seen "suicide" used as a verb the book gives the target the benefit of the doubt in such situations. Thus the day I used "vault" on a guy next to a bridge railing shouldn't have worked.

Apr 3	comment	Can an undead cleric resurrect himself? @JonathanHobbs: Exactly. I thought that obvious enough I didn't bother to spell it out.
Apr 2	comment	Can an undead cleric resurrect himself? @BESW: I wouldn't have the spell fizzle when the delay period started, but rather when the main spell went off. To interpret it at the start results in the opposite problem--a spell goes off on a clearly invalid target that was valid when it was cast.

Mar 29	comment	How does acquiring a template that changes hit dice affect pre-existing hit points? I favor the +2 approach. If you were tough before you're still tough.
Feb 23	comment	Creating a Wizard at high levels: How many Spells should he know? @Ben-Jamin: I see. I was replying to your big comment.
Feb 23	comment	Creating a Wizard at high levels: How many Spells should he know? @Ben-Jamin: I don't see where your original comment said the backup could be a blessed book.
Feb 21	comment	Creating a Wizard at high levels: How many Spells should he know? @Ben-Jamin: And why can't the backup be a Blessed Book also?
Feb 21	answered	It is commonly said that epic spellcasting in D&D 3.5e is broken. What are some examples of broken epic spellcasters?
