Uleric responds:
"These are a good idea, but I think they should be in a different order.  Items, Man, then Ship.  I think it will be easier to find the items and backtrack any previous possessions until we can find out who killed the decedent.  The Man has been unsuccessfully located by persons with more experience than us and there is no reason we can expect to do any better.  The ship should be the easiest to track, though still difficult to find.  All we really have to do is gather reports from the dockmasters as to the ships that are in port and keep an eye, or ear, out for any unregistered moorings."
I agree. Though it might be wiser to conduct whatever indoor activities and file searches we need to do first while the weather passes and the streets clear. For instance, we should check to see if Falce has a criminal record that we could extract info from.

This isn't a specific person, but I remember a town called Temper in/under the String Mountains that was renowned for it's high quality weapons.

By the PHB definition of "craft" posted above, I'd say taxidermy falls into that category since you are making an item that has an associated gp value.

Who needs face to face social interaction anyway?

Though this might be handy if you ever wanted to tie-in Ken to continue Claude's story.

Vasili suggests.."Pee seems very safe and effective" but beyond that no.
Interesting suggestion. Effective and low cost, but not very efficient when dealing with large quantities of snow...plus I think there are laws against public urination.

Addressing your question Rob, how big of an area are you thinking? I think I may have magic to aid with small volumes of snow, but larger quantities would require powerful magic which I am not able to conjure.

Everything related to a case should be in a file. Other documents you might find in a file include: interviews, confessions, evidence logs, warrants and sketches.
I meant what other information is generally easily accessible to us that is not in the case file? Are there general criminal records where we could look for info on Falce? Tax records? You get the idea.

Besides case files, what other records are typically kept by the constabulatory?

Was Falce a resident of Icefia, or did he come in on the Black Gull? Or some other ship?
DM, any response to this question?

How are large sums of money usually transferred (legitimately) in Icefia? Coin, gems, transfer between bank accounts?

Subdual Unconscious / Re: What can you do when..

Isn't that only if the 2 values are exactly equal? If nonlethal damage is greater than your hit points, you go unconscious.

Here's what the SRD says:

"When your nonlethal damage equals your current hit points, you’re staggered.

When your nonlethal damage exceeds your current hit points, you fall unconscious."

Was not aware that this was already discussed. Must've been a season I missed.

Magic of Habololy / Fell Drain
« on: September 05, 2011, 03:37:30 PM »
Have a question on the above referenced feat from Libris Mortis. Per the description, it states "any living creature that is dealt damage also gains a negative level". Pretty straight forward for a spell that only deals damage to 1 target for 1 round, like a single fell drain magic missle.

But what about a spell that targets one subject with multiple effects that deal damage? Like a fell drain magic missle that generates 3 missles all aimed at 1 target? Would that deal 3 negative levels?

How about if the spell deals damage over multiple rounds, like a fell drain acid arrow? Does each round the spell deals damage also deal a negative level, or is it only 1 on the first round?

I half-heartedly checked to see if there was any errata or faq on this, but found nothing. Can I get a house ruling?

Also, wasn't sure  how to start a new thread under "house rules" that didn't show up under the massive damage discussion, if anyone can enlighten me I'd appreciate it.

Here's what the PHB says under the profession skill:

"While a Craft skill represents ability in creating or making an item, a Profession skill represents an aptitude in a vocation requiring a broader range of less specific knowledge. To draw a modern analogy if an occupation is a service industry, it's probably a Profession skill. If it's in the manufacturing sector, it's probably a Craft skill."
