Because who would even play a non caster in the first place?

If you claim it's highest point is at 85%, then you are claiming that over 85% of the Laffer curve cutting taxes reduces total revenue. IE the exact opposite of your claim "only at the far edge." 85% of the curve is not the far edge. So you've been reduced to quibbling over what I really ...

No, not really. I merely deny that the shape of the Laffer curve is a perfect parabola. I think it is heavily, heavily skewed so that the highest point is probably around 85% tax rate. If you claim it's highest point is at 85%, then you are claiming that over 85% of the Laffer curve cutting taxes r...

Are you aware of the fact that this statement directly and explicitly contradicts the entire concept of the Laffer Curve? It really doesn't. Yes, it really does. The Laffer curve, quite aside from it's factual value, or where the US currently is on the curve, or what a real Laffer curve would look ...

Are you aware of the fact that this statement directly and explicitly contradicts the entire concept of the Laffer Curve? Or at this point are you just descending into propaganda to avoid admitting the obvious?

But it says you see in magical and mundane darkness, that should pretty clearly spell out the ability. Is there a third kind of darkness of which I'm unaware? There are different ways to see in darkness and magical darkness. There is Darkvision, there is regular vision limited to a certain range. I...

Are you saying that I'm saying something other than "I closed the link when I saw it was for Think Progress"? Because implying implications is stupid. Implications have to be implied, that's what makes them implications in the first place. What you are doing is implying implications. You ...

Are you saying that Tax cuts don't reduce revenue?

In BGII, you could find or buy one of the items that reduced casting speed and reduce it from 1 to 0, at which point it no longer triggered the one spell per round limiter. So you could cast all you magic missiles in one second via pause/cast/unpause for short second/pause. Alternatively, you could ...

What part of that isn't clear?

The part where it doesn't say "Like a Devil" anywhere, or specifically call out one of the 5 different methods for seeing in darkness?

Granted Benefit: You have an evil aura as a cleric of your hit die-2. Also, you can see through magical and mundane darkness.

What does this mean? Like Darkvision? 60ft? Or full blown See in Darkness?

I just absolutely hate how easy it is to destroy walls in 3.x. The "haul out the adamatinium maul/pickaxe and just go through the walls" strategy pretty much unmakes every prewritten advenutre. I don't see it unmaking most adventures. It doesn't unmake Red Hand of Doom, or Demonweb Pits, ...
