New branch: The Burgess Shale. There could actually be some cool monster ideas there.

Oh definitely. One of my D&D characters was a dwarf that was permanently drunk, and got the penalties of drunkenness any time he was sober for more than about an hour.

Much fun was had with that one, I played him like a drunk, regularly shouting random stuff and forgetting important things, and deluding himself into believing he was the leader of the party. I think the Warlord was planning to kill him, and the GM certainly was. His horse always had two barrels of ale, and he could use his unbreakable mug as a mace (when he wasn't using his great axe).

I propose that we put it to the test by shaving some deep dwarves. Even if they do heal, it'll be fun to watch them squirm.

Grimm wrote:This is known as the "Deep Dwarf paradox", classically stated by Russell thus:

Suppose there is a dungeon with just one Deep Dwarf. In this dungeon, all damage is shaven by exactly one of two methods:
Shaving itself, or
being shaved by the Deep Dwarf.

Another way to state this is:
The Deep Dwarf shaves only that damage in the dungeon that does not shave itself.

All this seems perfectly logical, until we pose the paradoxical question:
Who shaves the Deep Dwarf's shaving damage?

This question results in a paradox because, according to the statement above, it can either be shaven by:
himself, or
the Deep Dwarf (which happens to be himself).
However, none of these possibilities are valid! This is because:
If the Deep Dwarf does shave his shaving damage, then the Deep Dwarf (himself) must not shave his shaving damage.
If the Deep Dwarf does not shave his shaving damage, then the Deep Dwarf (himself) must shave his shaving damage.

Earth storm. Basically a earth version of ice/fire storm. At very high power it has a chance of creating walls.
Air storm. Calls up nasty clouds of air.

Isn't the game set in the Dungeon Dimensions already?
