    Actually, I saw something similiar to what Spellbound just described yesterday morning. Didn't see it clearly but I caught sight from the corner of my eye of a light falling from the sky and then seeming to 'explode' when it hit the ground. An awesome sight.

    I saw the Hale-Bop comet when it came around in 96(I think). That was quite the sight to behold. I haven't seen much in the way of comets and meteors since I moved to the city, though.

    Edit: Dammit, the Bananas are no longer dancing.

    I saw Halley's Comet when he came around in 1986 (I think). Highly unspectacular it was.

    Comets are only there to remind us that one day a massive meteor could hit Earth and kill us all. :eek:

    Gah! To start writing my next story, I need to know 3 things that the other SPers here should know:
    #1: Which of the D&D dragons have the innate ability to change form in to a Humanoid form?
    #2: Which race would they/could they become (i.e. human, elf, half-elf...ect)?
    #3: When in her humanoid form, could a dragon become pregnant from a real humanoid male?

    #3 is the most important to the story, #1 could be answered if I ever find my Monster Manual, and #2 is just for better continuity of the storyline. :rolling:

    1. Silver
    2. Any race
    3. I think the dragon can only impregnate.

    #3 Yes. I think it was somewhere in the DragonLance series. I remember the legend of Huma the Dragon Slayer. He pregnates a silver dragon in humanoid form, only to find out later she aint no human. They even have a silver dragon son.

    IIRC the dragon becomes succeptible (sp?) to human emotions only while in human form. The longer a dragon stays in human form, the greater the influence of these emotions on her.

    I thought that Gold Dragons could also turn into humanoids. But this just might be a mistake since I haven't done and D&D for a couple years. Maybe what I'm thinking about is one of the dragon gods. Seems that I remember a story about a gold dragon that would turn into an old man and help questors that worshipped him.

    Dragonlance has way too many specific quirks for you to be able to draw mainstream D&D conclusions from, so I'm not sure if that's how the official D&D canon looks at it.

    Jag, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times - it's not going to happen between us! So get over it and move on.

    Eew, eew and eew. There are massive amounts of freezing rain coming down right now, and it is making walking anywhere extremely dangerous.

    I am not looking forward to tonight's class. Lots of freezing rain and a bridge makes for some interesting times in terms of getting around campus.
