I was excited to see that today's preview of Plane Below: Secrets of the Elemental Chaos was of the "reasoning with slaad" skill challenge I designed for the book. I was even happier to see the fantastic reaction it was getting on our message board and a number of fan sites around the Web.

To be honest, when the skill challenge was turned over to Ari, the lead designer of the book, I noted that some of the failure effects may be a bit much, but I thought they were. Luckily he agreed with me.

When the book was in development, I stayed quiet while the other developers critiqued the skill challenge. (It's always hard to be in development meetings involving your own design. I'm a strong believer of keeping my mouth shut, listing to the critique, and trying as hard as I can to not become defensive
