I enjoyed the Muppet Show. I watched a lot of nick at night when I was a kid, so a lot of my tv nostalgia is actually for times before my parents were born or when they were young.

Ugh, no. One feat for Cobra stuff, not three. More like this: Snake Blooded(Combat) You like snakes. You are like a snake. Bad Haiku.

I stopped reading at the fourth or so book, the one with the plague that came from a book or some such bullshit. You're telling me it gets even stupider after that? By the way, during the third(?) book, when Richard finally finishes Darken Rahl, it was hinted at greater agents of the whatsisname net...

For communism to work well you either need a well and practically educated and well informed populace without any major dissent or self destructive tendencies or an efficient and perfectly benign bureaucracy to run things. The first never exists when communities get beyond a certain size and the sec...

I actually did understand the point you were trying to make, and I'm saying that it's boring. I like the infernals and their followers Evil. Satanists on earth generally don't worship Satan anyway; and in a world where Satan/Asmodeous actually sent demons out to wreak havoc and steal souls the only ...

K's post well represents what I would like to say. In addition to being kind of boring, your evil backstory doesn't really mesh with your evil practices. Asmodeous has/had this great plan to save the multiverse via balance through conflict, so be selfish and unpleasant to everyone you don't care abo...

Well, Meg, regardless of whether he's an evil genius or a heavy handed idiot the best way to fight what's happened is to propagate the story that all of this was done for business.

Yeah, Gorons wouldn't have any mental stat penalty, well, maybe a -2 to wisdom, they'd get bonuses to Str and Con, maybe a penalty to Dex, NA, a racial trample attack or something similar, stability, and be considered non-humanoid for armor pricing purposes.

I was talking more about underaged rape, where the psychological damage may very well ruin their life. Rape of an adult can of course be terribly traumatic, causing fear of men, relationships, sex and other things, crushing self confidence and any feeling of security to name a few, but only the most...

I like this idea/mechanic.

More or less. So when you start throwing around clouds of nuclear fire t...

I actually with Crissa on this one(gasp), rape, especially of someone who's not even an adult, is an offense where one has quite probably ruined or destroyed someones life; much like murder or intentionally severely maiming someone. A) That's a debt, to society and to the victim, that may not be pay...

The count did make an important point. That feeling, that "love", is just chemistry and it's not permanent. A romantic relationship done well can bring about mutual emotional dividends, and plenty of other benefits, far greater than the mutual healthy infatuation in which it was conceived,...

If you have no other viable means of support you are basically stuck whether you want to be or not. Since she's not abusing you, merely being needy and annoying this shouldn't be untenable. Personally I wouldn't approve of prolonging such a charade, but you don't have the same moral compass as I do....

Here's a totally unfleshed out idea! Spells per day and caster level both scale with class level, however, you only get to learn spells and use special casting abilities(such as spontaneous casting) based on your actual Wizard/Sorc level. So a Sorc 4/Fighter4 would know 6 0 level spells, 3 1st level...
