Man, those fundie quotes make me feel like I'm reading the WotC boards.[br][br]""Make sure your answer uses Scripture, not logic.""[br][br]"I often debate with evolutionists because I believe that they are narrow mindedly and dogmatically accepting evolution without question...

The internet is a cesspit of ignorance and stupidity.

For an entertaining look at some American politics I recommend america the book by Jon Stewart and Parliament of WHores by PJ Orourke. Funny and oh so true

The Staff of Healing, according to the SRD, has Cure Serious Wounds, which is a Bard spell, and also Remove Disease which is not. By your argument, since a Bard can activate this Staff he may never roll UMD to activate this Staff. This means that the Bard may not cast Cure Serious Wounds at a highe...

technomancer: the hypohesis of the editing having failed to update staff text is a pretty good RAI argument*, but, while I know that pretty much whatever comes from RAW would be stupid, I wanted to know the cold hard fact, and what I see about it is that the quote you just used allows emulation of a...

How come the link worked for you, but not for me? Frustrating, especially since I cannot edit.

Some of those other quotes are even better, though.

I hope I won't be in trouble for posting a non-RPG link, but this is [url=]too funny[url]. [br][br] [br]"I am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don't think he's ready to date yet. Wha...

I actually played nothing but Clerics in 3e. Ok, no serious characters other than clerics.

To be fair to LotR, the Hobbits represent just how important and powerful the little people are.

If you overlook the fact that Bilbo and Frodo were born into the wealthy aristocracy of the Hobbits, that is.

There's nothing like the classics (more appropriate thread title added by me):

Paladins can't DO that!

Damn, why did I trust WotC to actually update things? Well, I do know those power words are from Races of the Dragon, and this site has some of the stuff not covered at WotC.

Well, I'm not sure whether you wanna a pointer to the actual descriptions, or know which books these came from. In case it's the latter: lists of WotC stuff.

I care, Lago - there you have a number of interested people higher than 0. Given the ginormously titanic size of this forum (a winning point, mind), you may say you've sparked a lot of interest.

Nice explanation Lago. I've never seen Naruto, but that sounds interesting.


Also: "Legendary sannin." Heh.

It was an entertaining, beautiful film...but it still wasn't worth the 8 bux.

My favorite scene was the buying movie tickets near the end. For some reason it reminded me that Tokyo is surreal as hell even without mass hallucination.

Why was this (by which I mean THIS ONE; check your link, Leress) thread supposed to hurt me?

In that case...[br][br]"Sword & Boarder":[br]Saying that "You also take no penalties from wielding a tower shield" is a little much. Firstly, it's poorly defined. If we assume it means that 'your ACP, ASP, and attacks take no penalty due to your use of a tower shield,' that's...
