@EverythingXen and goshuto: When you only give me half the story, I get creative. Just ask Jaz about that.

That's why I gave you the important half of the story. I covered all the critical stuff and the rest I always welcome creative input on. _________________ Estuans interius, Ira vehementi

I'm usually not that cliche. I tend to prefer something more... subtle.  _________________ Freeeeeeedom! Thank heavens it's summer!

Well, good. There is nothing like a DM telling you at level one five minutes into the game:
"And there arises out of the broiling waters the BIGGEST dragon you have ever seen! BEHOLD! TIAMAT! Your new arch-enemy! and he starts running after you. The faster you run, the faster the dragon flies. You come to brick wall with a door in it. It looks like a chapel. What do you do?"
I said, "I push open the door."
"The door doesnt budge," he says.
"Okey, i try to bash it down!" i said.
"It wont come down."
"You didnt roll anything," complained me.
"I know, but its a metal door," he says.
"Oh. Well then, i try to unlock the door with my picklocks."
"You cant," the bastard says. "Its a metal door and it doesnt have a keyhole."
"umm, then i... how far away did you say Tiamat was?"
"Oh! He's coming," he says.
"Okey then. I want to try pulling open the door again," i says.
"Pulling this time? It opens easily," the idiotic DM says.
"What?!? Why didnt it open before?"
"Because you were pushing it, not pulling," he says.
And thats when i realized that i would rather die to Tiamat than go through this kind of unnusual method of torture.[/spoiler] |

Sily question, but isn't Tiamat a she? For some reason I've always thought so ... wonder where that idea came from ... it's been over 25 years since I first read a description ... could I have been wrong all those years? _________________ =Member of The Nonflamers' Guild=

Tiamat is a she (as much as such terminology applies to gods anyways). In D&D she's the goddess of evil dragons and Bahumat is the god of good dragons. They're both Babylonian in origin, if I recall correctly.
Need to find 15 minutes while not at work to fill in the sheet. It's fully statted out in my head, of course, so it's a matter of filling in the blanks. _________________ Estuans interius, Ira vehementi
