Re: My job - rant

1171047026[/unixtime]]The problem with your analogy is that a doctor is trained in the knowledge of medicines and maybe chirurgy, not just knowledge about diseases, whereas your whole job is just the knowledge about computers. If people perfectly knew what was wrong with their computer, they could ...

Re: World of Darkness and Folly

Fallen autumn leaves of my heart's gaze
I'm left cold and frozen, my soul is ablaze
I no longer see light, only my wrists under the blade
I wish it didn't come to this, but being past 9 pm... my parents... forbade.

Re: Being Good in D&D: this one's for you, K and Frank

Yeah, much like how the Romans or Greeks would worship all of the gods but pick one to be their patron diety, it makes sense for a Cleric to respect and possibly pray to all gods, but serve only one.

Re: Alignment Sucks

That last post made my pants tighter. But I agree, a Paladin's law is by holy decree of his/her god, and above the law of the land. At least, that's how I see it.

The inevitables! Possibly my favourite 'things' (in theory). They're basically lawful neutral constructs from Mechanus that run around enforcing laws that humanoids break!

Re: A Compendium of LA+0 races (new creations)

1154342338[/unixtime]]But neither stealing, nor narcing on your nieghbor are evil acts. They are purely a law/chaos thing.
