<t>I've done some miniatures for wargames and for rpg's. I'm not the best, and would not consider painting for someone else unless I had a significant backstory for the character as well as lots of input from the player.

<t>I would also try to get into Heroscape. There are a lot of HS players out there. The problem is that Wal-mart sells it for about the same price as you can buy it from Hasbro. But finding some of the hard to get expansions would be worthwhile.<br/> <br/> If you don't stock HS, at least offer place...

<t>How about instead of extending the duration due to a longer casting time, extend the duration by requiring several steps. Extended casting time is primary. Without it, the spells duration cannot be extended at all. When the spell is cast, it gains a normal duration with the POTENTIAL to have its ...
