First you've mentioned of the timeframe. Pardon me while I go suck a barrel of cocks. :P New old angle: bad competitor masterminded the town's mind flayer problem in the first place. Maybe not directly, he just arranged for rumors to spread that something of great arcane/divine/psionic/sexual/whocar...

Do I understand this discussion up to this point? You've got the short of it, yes. Is there a decisive rule that can emerge from this argument? Sure. K is right. Kaelik's argument hinges on a tyrannical interpretation of the Principle of Narrative Truth, in which restating a casual statement of int...

Maybe these mafioso are really the stooges of a nearby lord who has made his fortune in the metals market. With their new find, the PCs may be upsetting the delicate balance and costing this guy a steady income of profits. It's not a new find, they cleared a mind flayer out of a mining town after t...

PC: Oh wait, I would have wanted to cast sending if he started to turn away! DM: Okay. You cast sending when the dragon turns away. Seeing as the readied action expires at the end of the turn, this works just fine. You're the DM. You can retcon a few seconds of inactivity. DM: He teleports right ne...

Maybe they're still thinking of the OotS Starmetal. A 100:1 ratio alloy would be enough to make a decent sized fort out of, if you only did the exterior walls. That said, if they're pawning it here and there, it would be hilarious to let them dream and then when they finally make up their damn minds...

That is still unfair though, comparing 2 unplayable classes to one that can be played. What he means is most of those hits aren't the Binder from Tome of Magic.

I'm talking about powers that really compare with 6th-7th level Cleric, Wizard, and Druid spells. And you're screwed before you start. If the fighter caps out at 7th level spells, then the class ends at level 15 rather than level 5. Mundane is allowed to be superhuman, just not eye lasers and shit....
