@DuckTapeAl - I'm not finding anything, other than suggestions to take over sewers or an abandoned mine. Unless you want to hire a clan of duergar or similar....
My current plan is to have an army of hundred of astral constructs excavate a new cave of my design over the course of several years.
We're using the Mythic rules, and with Mythic Recuperation and Advanced Constructs I can make something like 2000 astral constructs that can make checks up to DC 14, which should be enough for unskilled labor like that.
Also, there aren't any rules that I know of for actually building an underground structure using skill checks. I'm asking a new question about that now.
Ah, ok. I'm still at the beginning of the bell curve, I haven't even touched any of the advanced materials yet.
The spell "move earth" can't be used for tunneling, but possibly you could wangle something with your DM about using the constructs to shore up as stuff is removed?
Buy/make a staff of move earth, 10 charges of 750x750 ft of earth moving. Get a druid to recharge it, lather rinse repeat.
I recall a time when you could ask a question on Stack Overflow and not only would it get an answer, it would still be on the front page by the time you got back there.
@DuckTapeAl - Yes, I know. That's why I said you'd have to work it with your DM and the construct angle, as I think the main reason for not being able to tunnel is that yo have to shore as you go when tunneling otherwise it collapses.
See, I don't know that that's the reason you're not allowed to tunnel with that spell. It says in the description that it's for making moats and shaping the contours of the battlefield, which supports the 'you can't make tunnels with this' argument.
My point is that an answer that said "convince your DM to go against a clear statement in the rules" wouldn't get an upvote from me.
Sure, I can get my DM to houserule stuff, but I'd much rather a spell that could possibly be used for an application, than one that specifically can't.
@TimB - That's one reason I haven't really done anything lately. Everyone seems to want to ask all this outre what if stuff. I mean really, what does blowing up a mountain or a moon with TNT have to do with worldbuilding?
@TimB - You deliberately miss my point. Pretty much any question you can think of can be made on topic. It's just "What wild a## question can I come up with"...
With a few good ones thrown in. I admit I like the hammer proof armor
we do get a certainly element of people asking whacky questions for kicks...and we also get people who have no idea at all about what they are asking (some of the physics/astronomy ones make me cringe for the state of world-wide education)
but we also get a lot of good questions
@JohnP Well I disagree. It's more constrained than you think it is. I can think of several questions right now that would be off topic.
unfortunately we can't constrain to "sensible" questions because there is no common definition....after all there exists a My Little Pony RPG....
someone writing a children's book may well have the moon made out of cheese and then want to use the logical consequences of that
Hah! Cheesy moon would be less dense than normal moon, and would have to orbit at a further distance than normal moon, making tidal forces less extreme and having less of a slowing force on the rotation of the planet
@DuckTapeAl An equally massive moon made of chees would be bigger volume wise, and so would take up more of the sky, but it would have the same impact and distance to center of mass as the real moon
A sphere that contains twice the volume of another sphere has 1.26 times the radius, so a moon made of cheese with the same mass as our current moon would be about 25% bigger in the sky.
Pech and svirfneblin are underground dwellers, good tunnelers. And honestly, every suggestion pretty much everyone has had you have rejected with "won't really work".
Several burrowing creatures have been suggested, but unless there's a way to summon them using spells or powers, those suggestions don't really help me.
My research skills are somewhat lacking, have there been any questions about how to create an arcane research lab/practice area? I had a potential arcane character player ask me about how to build such a thing (Kind of like a firing range for spells).
Assume a player with two weapons: a whip and a dagger.
A hostile creature stands right next to the player. On the creature's turn, it moves away 5ft. So the creature left the reach of the dagger, but is still in the reach of the whip.
Does this movement provoke an opportunity attack?
I am int...
I've heard of (and seen) answers in comments, and answers in edits have probably happened, but that's got to be the first time there's been an answer in the title of a question.
Oh, yep, that would be nice if well done! (Unfortunately, it would be boring if done in the way such things are usually done.) I'd love something with a dynamic world, where it would be amazing to even just watch the world around developing!
@Anaphory -- Mabinogi comes the closest from what I've heard -- oddly enough, it's an Eastern fantasy style though -- not to knock on it, but I'd probably find it more confusing than fun
but I suspect most MMO devs have a fear of losing control over their own game, if you will
people call it "spreadsheets in space"...but the combat is more chess-like than anything else -- very cerebral game even when it does get somewhat-fast
probably the hardest one to pull off in a fantasy universe is what Eve does to the notion of classes -- in Eve, the role you're performing in the mechanics is determined by what ship you're flying or what service you're using stationside -- not by anything intrinsic to your character
