I don't understand this comment.

Seems way easier to get women from being killed.

Bigode

If you watch sports shows, chances are your life fvcking svcks.
If you write fanfiction, chances are your life fvcking svcks even more.

I fail to see a discontinuity.

Bigode

Hell, women being described as calculating and unemotional is old hat. This guy is just making shit up, and using a regulated and obvious time when a persons hormones are in full force as an excuse to dismiss their actions most of the time. Women have been described as whatever a given society cons...

"Western"?

Was me, about your misreading on the light/dark thread. Guess I intended to tell you to edit a post so that I deleted my reply; don't recall the exact details, as I deleted it once you replied on the thread (and thus I couldn't delete anything). So, no longer relevant. But my Inbox was even close to...

I know, this is too easy , but... Some questions ... - Some of those retards claimed women prefer having male children. Problem is, IME this actually is true. Why, if nowadays supposedly most people believe women aren't inferior? - I'm certainly one to say the Republicans losing's a good thing - bu...

Bigode

Ah, okay. I'd seen Frank's bug classification system before - didn't remember that it had a class for "preference bugs". Still doesn't feel right calling it a bug, but I'll cede the point. Class C bug - not because it works in itself, but because it's near-uniformly better than daggers, b...

Always good to remind single men that women do crap (that's so important that it's a pretty well-known poem in Brazil); thanks. That aside, please say it's mechanical first next time - I imagined you shoving an animal down a clogged toilet first. And I'm not sure what exactly you expected to hear wh...

Bigode

Let's face it - you can rationalize all you want, but Koumei already nailed it: the average reader of anything , right down to 1984, is pretty retarded. So the 300 goblinoids killed by burning oil at any given point are set pieces, while anything the author bothers to highlight's worth crying about ...

Bigode

I think your example actually shows the opposite - the characters aren't numerically similar, and hopefully get equal slices of the options available. As for the wizard, that's kinda how any of them works - my wondering was whether it's possible to pretty much just win using unresistable effects (po...

Bigode

Official source of this? And why would it be papercuts? Page 2, but there ya go. And "official source" for TGD nomenclature's a new layer of awesome - maybe something to do with we having an overlord now ... for some reason, that doesn't strike me as good news, though. As for papercuts: a...

Bigode

Deriding Eberron = Epic Fail. To wit, doesn't necessarily reflect my personal opinion; going with TGD naming convention (hell, I'd even use Tome of 9 Papercuts, but I think Weeaboo Fightan Magik caught up waaaaaay better), and besides, it's as easy a pun as they come. But anyway, hell, I like a lot...

Bigode

JE, I said "option", not "opinion" - as in, you talked about only numbers as if it was enough. That might change your answer somewhat. Or not; let's see.

Bigode

I can name at least one Rogue that argues effectively for acid to be better for rogues to use than any other weapon. http://blog.news-record.com/staff/culture/Culture%20Shock%20-%20The%20Joker-thumb.jpg That's called "an acid build" in CO (unfortunate off-forum implications of the term as...

Bigode

Bill, there's really no way to balance even Tome characters perfectly. Just close enough that the difference between a real sub-performer and an optimized character are still on the RNG. Which, can be an 18 or 19 point difference. Hilarious statement. No mention of option differences. BTW, that lea...

Bigode

Sold. Like, totally. Now: can someone chime in with regards to any twins/clones God has?

Bigode

"Atenuated"/"mitigated" and "worsened"?

Bigode

It's clear cut in the rules. And I don't at all know why it'd be unthematic - I literally don't compute it; I do compute why acid > everything else's unthematic, but not why'd acid in itself be nonsensical. So there's: a) acid > everything's indeed bad; b) which of acid and common weapons' balanced ...

Bigode

Well yeah, but there's also an underlying balance reason too, given that sneak attacking with acid flasks is very powerful, since you're getting constant ranged touch sneak attacks. It's really one of those things that any mid to high level rogue would be stupid not to do. One thing I would conside...

Bigode

Most DMs I think will be about 50/50 on that. By RAW it's perfectly legal but it feels very wrong from a flavor standpoint. Besides, you rarely run into a RAW game anyway. As a DM, I think I'd say no. Mainly because acid flasks are imprecise splash weapons, so trying to achieve a precise based stri...

Seems to be because the actions can be redistributed.

Bigode

Have you settled your alignment dispute with Cielingcat? (Since they're reportedly twins/clones, one must be evil.)

Bigode

I believe most of your aims are better achieved in other ways that aren't particularly novel. More importantly, the favoritism problem's so absurdly fvcking huge that even your repeated mentions of it are understatements; BTW, some people get more attention just by better planning even if they're no...

For a example: within the span of one single day last year I had to Write an important memo on a message system with a hard 300 character limit. Write a review to be posted on a site which could not display apostrophes correctly - the ` character was the closest substitute which would display. Writ...

Bigode

Doesn't really solve it - only delays it making difference by 1 round. It's nowhere near a total solution, but the delay effectively reduces granularity enough to mitigate the most obvious cases. Actually, I take it back: it does wholly solve the single problem presented (initiative being key to as...
