^ That's not really the point though, you shouldnt' have to multi-class to a class outside of 'fighter' to learn how to throw your fist at something's face.

Like, most 8 year olds know that.

Fixed.

Circumcision be damned, this sand is everywhere.

Earth was one of my favourite classic 'four' elements...

*enter Giant in the Playground reference about elements*

To be honest Frank, I like both and I agree with the aforementioned mixing of two (minimum bonus - maximum bonus) as well as simply leaving the two up to the decision of the gamer(s)/DM in question...[br][br]Unless of course other parts of the game/book of gears depend on this, in that case I'd go w...

^ Oh definitely, but being that not only is he a better fighter and so capable of using his weapon better than you (so if you both had basic steel swords his would still be better in his hands) his is also the fucking blade of Lord Kaos of Underhell, the Crucifier and so his should also have an INHE...

I think the whole "back story to awesome item of awesomeness" is more or less implied by the fact that it's... awesome?

...and the actual back story would be up to each individual game?

Frostbrand 7 and frostbrand 8, though if you want to limit the difference of the two - by all means, but regardless of scaling some weapons will be inherently better than others.[br][br]Lord Kaos of Underhell should definitely have a cooler weapon than you, even if the difference is only +1 and some...

The scaling damage seems cool but it seems somewhat awkward for a character to be able to have an end-game weapon very early on and simply watch it get better. [br][br]While that definitely ties in with weapons like Arthur's Excalibur or Lord Takashi's Katana of the seven stars as passed to him by h...

1175651151[/unixtime]]Obviously not from wikipedia . [br][br]I actually entered 'weight of the observable universe' and found to good yields...[br][br]Wow... those numbers really aren't as gigantic as I would think... guess this was a topic we didn't go over in astronomy or physics... bleh. [br][br...

1175648989[/unixtime]]Weight in D&D is a measure of how much you can carry on earth, which means 2.2 pounds is ~1 kg. So that there is roughly 1.1*10^103 kg, which is significantly more than the mass of the observable universe. Either by about 1000 times, or 1 million times, since I forget if t...

Wha?

*enter bad math here*

Is that really enough to carry the ENTIRE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE...?

Especially since weight is just the amount of force being applied in a given direction, and that when you start putting things together it all changes drastically?

I remember the first time I came across the lich in the tower after using the magic rope... surprise - me caught unaware and had no clue, thus no magic protection up... yeah, he died in like seconds.[br][br]I had turn undead on... level 40 cleric, baammmmmmmm gone.

MrWaeseL at [unixtime wrote:1175370726[/unixtime]]The Drow bit in BG2 was really awesome though.

One of my favourite parts of the game was the underdark area, definitely very fun.

Drow combine everything about society that I hate and lump it all together. A farce of a justice system ruled by sex-dominant xenophobes who worship and love spiders, praise some freak-god who's idea of a reward is murder, and their entire culture revolves around a constant state of paranoid anarchy...

I'd rather take on an entire army of yuan-ti than a single female drider.

1175322777[/unixtime]]Thank you, Digestor, for yet another reason for me to not bother with Mr. Do'urden.[br][br]I bought the books some time ago in the attempts to try to understand D&D references that people toss around. Unfortunately, I never could get into them. [br][br]haha, no problem? I ...
