[br][br]So something like half-automatic/half random, like d6+4 (5 damage automatic, 5 random) or 2d8+12 (14 automatic, 14 random).[br][br]Thus, you care for the roll, ...

You're an idiot. Get out of my thread. [br]Isn't the all thread a pet peeve about 'Rules should be perfect' ? I thought i was on topic, trying to further this goal by being more precise: "Yes, Blizzard good, but still aren't perfect". (My pet peeve is that everything should be perfect. So...

And guess what? Despite what people say, the top end encounters are not a matter of thousandths of percents differences that talents and such will give you in performance. Most changes are not the same as getting a +1 on a d20 roll - they're like getting a +1 on a d10,000 roll. And they don't add u...

[br]Did you read any other line from my post? Because your reply is completely nonsequitor. [br][br]I know my links were not that clear, but, at least for an enhancement shaman, DPS can easily be half of what you can achieve if you don't spend time on math, and use non-optimal equipment. One of my ...

And the irony is, since WoW players don't have to do any math, they can spend more time on the fluff. x-x [br][br]Some do spend the time on math:[br] http://elitistjerks.com/f31/t12855-working_theories_theorycrafting_2_1_a/ [br] http://elitistjerks.com/f31/t13297-enhance_shaman_collected_works_theo...

While France have specific salads, burgers, brands of coffee, ..., the wine is an urband legend

You can also see it like this: The key word is learned. You don't learn it, you start with it.

I remember an old ?A?D&D module where you could gain special abilities (or curses) by eating something *if* you failed a saving throw. Things like flying speed or ESP.

[br]In Hinduism, at least, all souls are part of Brahman or something like that, and so the amount of souls is functionally limitless. You can decrease the amount of souls by becoming enlightened, which lets you stop being reincarnated.[br][br]It's much more complicated than that, but that's the lo...

Computer science engineer specialized in smartcards use for security, and forum lurking.

And those actions also add more NPC "starlight time", thus reducing the PC one. How is that more exciting to the players ?

It's officially giving GMs a dragon cock to wave in front of the players ! "Look at me, I play, you watch !"

Well, then you enter the "Creative use of Mechanic vs Bug Exploit !" debate ...[br][br]And this is not always what happens. By example, to succeed on phase 1 Razorgore, you have to Mind Control him in order to break all the eggs in the room, while a lot of adds (orcs and drakonids) appears...

Well, next extention may contain Northrend (Ice continent) and Maelstrom (Underwater), so maybe the next thing after flying will be an underwater mount. And, to stay on topic and talk about the fighter shtick, warriors can already charge the enemies, but they maybe able to drag an opponent to them (...

In WoW, depending on role, warriors have the following shticks (in groups):[br]* Tank Warrior:[br]- Keep all the mobs focused on self[br]- Reduce the received damage as much a possible[br]- Keep one buff on the group/maybe some debuffs on the mobs[br]- Occasionally counter/reflect a mob spell[br][br...

But the Monk's Belt allows a Monk to get an AC bonus as if his Monk Level was 4 levels higher than it actually is. That means that with a UMD check of 20,000 you can get the AC bonus of 1984th level Monk. Crack open the Epic rules... [br][br]And if the text was "gain 4 monk level to compute yo...

Another possible Mechanic is:[br][br]When you think you travel in time, actually you travel to a parallel dimension in which the current time period is the same as the one you wanted to travel. So, when you go back to your time period, in fact you just get back to your own dimension, where nothing h...

IIRC the Primary Source has precedence. It was talked about a few times already on this board:[br]http://bb.bbboy.net/thegamingden-viewthread?forum=1&thread=727&postnum=7&highlight=primary%20source[br]http://bb.bbboy.net/thegamingden-viewthread?forum=1&thread=529&postnum=1&hi...

FAQ only explains difficult rules, it can't change them. If the rules say no, the FAQ can't change it to yes, you need something like an errata to do it.

]Let's assume, for now, that killing a person is inherently evil. If someone else plans to kill a great deal of people and to stop him, you'd have to kill him, then killing him is an acceptable action of good; however, if killing him could be avoided, say by incapcitating and imprisoning him, then ...
