One problem: members of various government branches are individuals with their own faiths and prejudices. The effect of a 'ruling body' or system is a product of the many individuals that comprise it. Given enough of an overwhelming lean towards certain methods of living, the law has often changed ...

I got a Economic -3.50 and a Social 0.05. Honestly I thought the economic would be lower and the social higher, though I suppose it turned out that way because I gave answers that reflected what I thought would work best for everyone rather than the way I'd rather things be. Concerning Secularism. T...

The old stat block mentioned the weapons too, but I didn't add them because I doubt most people know or care what they are.

Insect Vampires please and snake/deep one/mole man leviathans. I'm not super sold on mole men in general, but unless something significantly better comes along for the third spot those are my votes.

Ah. Well to be fair a lot of people haven't clue one what attributes actually translate to, but claiming to be 19th level is really just moronic if your even the slightest bit serious.

Would it just be easier to go scorched earth and bring about a new dark age; and after a few generations have gone by rebuild society in your own image/as it pleases you?

I said I liked their proposals on different issues, not both their proposals on the same issue or issues; obviously they have major differences on most things. A person doesn't have to have purely conservative or purely liberal views.

The biggest problem is the big untyped bonus to attack rolls. It curb stomps the RNG. It should never go above five, and even that is pushing it. You could easily grant Attack and AC bonuses equal to a third of the Bard's class level, and a damage bonus equal to character level; more than that is ju...

Crissa, it's fine that they have similar histories, but I don't like what Hillary says in debate, getting her to actually answer the question that was asked is like removing an impacted molar.

Do you hate Clinton so much that you'd waste your vote like that? I'd vote for McCain over her, but as a Vice President to Obama I'd still vote democrat this year.

Though if Megatron actually had a shot, I think I might be following your lead.

If you already have something decent to do with your swift action then Inspire X are usually not going to be worth it.

The bard shouldn't be a class, not a twenty level class anyway. Maybe a short class like the Knight, but even shorter; 5 levels or so. Otherwise a prestige class or two or three feats(that don't necessarily all need to be taken to be good). We've got the Viking Skald, a light to medium armored full ...
