From what I could find in Google, between $10,000 and $10,000,000. (Source)

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
MITD should try using homophones.
Words that sound alike but have different spellings. I feel a good meta joke could spawn from that.I should get a Signature

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
Spanish diminutives all come in gendered pairs.
Also in Spanish: positive, factual gender overrides grammatical gender, unlike German, which is what people find most shocking about Mädchen. The speaker knows a Mädchen has a real gender, what it is, and it's possibly relevant; they just go ahead and call it neuter anyways.
So you can tell the gender from the way the word's end.
Honestly, we've mostly decided that we're going to merge the two categories, we just haven't all admitted it yet.The thing is the Azurites don't use a single color; they use a single hue. The use light blue, dark blue, black, white, glossy blue, off-white with a bluish tint. They sky's the limit, as long as it's blue.

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
I doubt that the capital city actually is "No clue at all". That's more likely to be the capital of Nowhere, just because why not. If only because the MitD is trying to trip Xykon up (and void the agreement with the Quinton, or delay the ordeal, or tire him out...) so a capital that actually scans to an odd number of letters at the end doesn't fit the pattern.
My guesses are: Xykon is bad at geography and knows it (he has no clue at all); or Xykon is bad at geography and does not know it (he thinks he knows, but this is the capital of Someplace Else- er, some place else).

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
After the defeat of Xykon, MitD is freed and Roy has the Snarl sealed inside of him.
After years of observing humanity through Roy's eyes, the Snarl loses its desire for destruction and slowly befriends Roy.
MitD befriends and lends his power to some yet-to-be-determined rival of Roy.
They end up clashing, having more epic anime battles.

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
No, Roy becomes the Fourth Hokage and seals the Snarl inside his son. His son is the one who teaches the Snarl to get along with humanity, but there's some stuff about Roy befriending the other half of the Snarl while he was dead that most fans are going to ignore.
Yes, because we need to sell more toys.Last edited by Thermophille; 2022-09-07 at 02:39 PM. Reason: unblued text

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
I never played 3.5 but in 2.0 If your familiar was killed you permanently lost hit points. That wouldn't be a risk Xykon would want to take, and frankly he's probably aware that he doesn't want anything around that he simply can't kill if it irritates him too much.

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
I doubt that Mr. Burlew would alter such a fundamental element of D&D's Outer Planar Alignment structure as to change the Alignment of Modrons, the native inhabitants of "Nirvana of absolute (neutral) lawfuls," to quote my AD&D 1st Edition Player's Handbook (or its later retcon/Planescape name "Mechanus," ugh. The afterlife realm of... Mechanus? Yuck, so tacky.)
I always detested Planescape's paradigm of portraying the alternate Planes of Existence, especially the various Outer Planes, as basically just like alien planets that could be physically traveled to, and with the native inhabitants as alien sci-fi creatures, rather than as the literal afterlife/afterlives {scrubbed} filled with their associated mythological creatures. {scrubbed}
Also, the Monster really does seem to be more with-it lately, as others have pointed out; he's either quickly maturing, or just getting sick of Team Evil's shenanigans (or both.)Last edited by Peelee; 2022-09-07 at 03:45 PM.

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
I want to say there's a map of the northern continent in one of the books, which might give us the actual answer as to the capital of Anywhere, but I forget which one and I was only willing to spend so much time looking.

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
There's a partial map, containing dwarven lands and the pole, here. But I see no sign of Anywhere on it.

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
That's what happens when the word "man" is originally used to mean "person". Used to be "wer-man" for "male human" and "wif-man" for "female human". Eventually, "wer" got dropped and "wif" developed into "wo". This is where English got the word "werewolf" by the way, literally "man-wolf". And if I'm remembering correctly, "he" and "she" are derivatives of the Old English words for "the" and "that".

Re: OOTS #1267 - The Discussion Thread
It's not that bad, just some XP loss:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/so...rcererFamiliar
If the familiar dies or is dismissed by the sorcerer, the sorcerer must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw. Failure means he loses 200 experience points per sorcerer level; success reduces the loss to one-half that amount. However, a sorcerer’s experience point total can never go below 0 as the result of a familiar’s demise or dismissal. A slain or dismissed familiar cannot be replaced for a year and day. A slain familiar can be raised from the dead just as a character can be, and it does not lose a level or a Constitution point when this happy event occurs.
(V references the XP loss in #1021, FTR.)
