lockheart doesn't seem like he should have missed that

when talking rules as written there is no such thing as "not magic, well not magic as the writer was thinking of" the diary is either a magic book or it is not, and it clearly is. that isn't a rai argument it's a raw one.

...well i mean i don't have my books on me, but assuming raw isn't so absurdly porous that you could pull the same trick in a real game without resorting to crossover elements then it shouldn't have worked with crossover elements either.

the cops need to star in a spinoff fic

wait...did the stone not find its way into milo's pocket? you'd think his nightmare vision would be the very definition of wanting to have but not use it, just another artifact for the loot throne. did he manage to not even accidentally catch a glimpse of the mirror that whole scene? i had assumed it'd been presumed lost after voldemort ingenerated the mirror and was in milo's belt.

did you make sure they returned them? no sense letting some unknown keep as potent an arcane link as a piece of your living skull, also you could have crafted a 'neckless of teef' of 2 wisdom... for the wisdom bonus to various things a shaman would do

and with fiona's section we suddenly go from dnd to owod ;)

well that[magic vs science]'s one theory, but i like to blame the harpells. didn't they burn someone's prototype printing press in one of the books or whatever?

stabbed that uppity computer right in the face (like any good hollywood muggle would do to destroy it)

dnd is odd enough i'd have half expected a specific feat to be required to be able to damage an enemy by jumping/landing on it from a great height (and for that feat to incidentally make the user immune to any falling damage if and only if they had a target to land on/transfer it to, more or less exactly replicating what just happened)

this book2 cheatingbastardgm twist nonsense is what killed the fic, isn't it :(

poor houseplant. poor dog. :(

I wouldn't let you destroy a plank in a door, but i might let you use that house argument to destroy just the lock or just one of the hinges

what kind of adventurer wouldn't have continued shooting spiders in a barrel for as long as feasable, which with quirrelmort's broken homebrew wizard class having infinite spells per day is "until the very second more spiders seem to be breaking free of the web than are busy eating their dead". milo had no reason to stop at being merely halfway to lvl6 when he could have shot a couple more spiders ;)

tells dumbledore that neutral adventurers are in no real danger of going evil. immediately begins plans to murderhobo santa.

...what are the ingredients to dnd antivenom
