I find that kinda funny. But now it seems that I was holding back when that Blue Dragon back in Qadira didn't kill the party with Desert Thirst. Anyway, are you trying to say the DM is being a ****, that DM fiat (or whatever you call rule improvisation nowadays) is inevitable or is there some other message hidden in this comic that I'm not yet seeing?
Mostly just posted it for the funnies.
Technically, the ability only works on "unattended" liquids.
I've already jokingly chastised the comic author for his careless mistake.
Bodily fluids aren't unattended liquids. The body sorta attends to them actively.
what if a wizard is so old he can attend his liquids properly?
p.s. did you know that glass and a whole bunch of other things are in theory liquids?
Truly, the blue dragon is mightiest of the chromatics!! It could turn you to sand with a mere blink of an eye, even if you had transformed into a Great Wyrm Red Dragon!! ...however, his little ability doesn't work on dried-out corpses that cling to a twisted perversion of the cycle of life that we all know as the undead. Especially true when it comes to a lich.

That's where the Undead Lord Ravener Blue Dragon comes in.

Here we go again. Glass is a solid. Some people think it is a liquid because it has bubbles, and because old window panes are thicker at the lower end than at the top. The fact that it has bubbles, and that old glass panes had a thick and a thin end are both results of the production process. That these glass panes' thick ends all face the lower end of the window is merely a convention that was decided on.
Say it again: Glass is not a liquid. Glass is not a liquid. Glass is not a liquid.

...wait, glass is a liquid? I knew it!
Exactly. There is a reason for all those 60s bromides, after all.
Sissyl, I didn't get my info of glass out of an urban legend or something, it's straight from a physics class at Fribourg Switzerland.
Lets start perhaps with something that has been shown (and got an ig nobel prize for it) pitch is a liquid
It's about viscosity, pitch produces a drop about every 10 years.
Now glass has a viscosity even much much higher and would need several thousand if not millions of years to have a really visible effect, not even a drop. Anyhow, in practice you still regard it as a solid as nobody plans for buildings that far in the future.
To make sure I checked "the internet" and got:
someone elses opinion who says that its not very clear because the states are not well enough defined, so it is very possible that other professors have other views.
Heh. If every physics teacher knew it was faulty, you think the meme would have survived? To be honest, google for glass is a liquid myth. That first page was pretty clear.

I was talking with a friend about this, and he said AD&D was more Old Testament.
My reply:
1st ed would be more like the Necronomicon, by comparison. :D
"What do you mean, I just DIED?!"
"You FAILED A SAVING THROW. Start rerolling."
Yea most of the games from back then were quite deadly. My favorite example was Traveller (Sci Fi game) where you could actually die in character creation.
GADS I needed that laugh!
If a physics professor specialized in continuum mechanics tells me something about viscosity, I assume he is right, or at least not wrong.
If your source is the first page of a google search, I'll stay with my opinion on that matter.
Feel free. Believing in urban legends is fun.
