I don't see a need for them both at once. WoF restricts ability choice to y/x. WTFAW restricts target choice to m/n. If y*n choices is still too many such that you need to drop it to y*m then you probably have to high an n. I'd come up with mob of mooks rules at that point because even if y*m is fas...

They sure want to make it hard for themselves to skim a cut of sales.

Lago, write a damn WoF system.

Unfortunately I don't know crap about fixing it up. Amazon's stupid, crappy PC kindle software also won't open the epub file in the torrent so I can't even check if there are any real problems..

Would anyone even crap their pants over a monk casting CoC as a swift action? They'd still be ass.

This isn't true at all . Or rather, it is true if and only if your only options are to do more damage to one target or less damage to a bunch of targets. If the abilities are more complex than that, indeed if they are interesting in any way that is not necessarily true. So for example: if your AoE ...

The Amazon one is gone, I tried to buy it now that my credit card has been replaced and nada.

As far as I can tell, the big disconnect between you and Frank/DS/Lago is that you assume that each round you can discard 2/3 of your powers without thinking about them much. Frank's goal is, explicitly, to get you not to do that, and to think about whether there's a way to make the single-target F...

That would be why I said flaws in the implementations.

Dude, intentionally sabotaging algorithms to allow them to decrypt anything used with them in much less time than pure brute force is something the NSA has done. Like, more than once. Because it turns out that you can break a 256-bit key if the actual keyspace is a lot less than 2^256 possibilities...

I find it mildly hilarious that you think you could possibly defend against someone like me. If I wanted to kill you, you have 2 choices: Never leave your house or die. That's it. There's no defense against people who want to kill you and know where you are (beyond hiding) in a "free" ame...

Wow, this just went from silly to sad. 50PFLOPS wasted on playing the lottery and only 8PFLOPS for the biggest project that is actually useful.

Humanity, I am dissappoint.

In chess and go every move modifies the available moves. Its uncommon for moves to be repeatable because the same board setup won't reoccur. They also both have rules for dealing with that if it does happen.

As an rpg analogue if move A sets up move B then move B should not set up move A.

I have the perfect example of disassociation, its easy to grasp and non-controversial. Homeopathy's in world explanation is the law of similars and water memory. Neither of these have any truth in the underlying mechanics of the world. Therefore homeopathy is completely disassociated. Martial dailie...

"All rich people somehow agree not to flood the world with gold, so it's okay." -- That's just stupid. This is breathtakingly simple. A wizard can create 15000gp every 6 seconds. They can trivially make 1,000,000gp a day and still have time to party like a rock star. If you want to buy al...

Hands down, without a doubt its Savage Species. The main author posted in public on the WotC forums that the design direction he was given was to make monstrous PCs weaker than standard ones. That is utterly unforgivable and completely thrashes any trust customers could hope to have in the product l...

This... is almost a contradiction in terms. If you are making blaster wizards (i.e., people who are wizards and who use their wizardness to make things be blasted) not crap, you are by definition giving wizards a new viable tactic. The tactic of "blasting stuff". Blasting isn't a tactic, ...

Remember that the point of the exercise isn't to power wizards up with new tactics. Its to make blaster wizards not crap. Giving them a level 1 spell with much longer range than normal is a new tactic for all wizards.

I'm assuming the standard on male hotness hes using is divorced from how much he wants to make hot man love to them.

But a case with filters on the air intakes. My box is four years old and near pristine. A good case will last for ages, just rip out the outdated guts and throw new ones in when you feel the need.

I think that in general, most women end up dating guys who are less attractive than them, but are still relatively ballpark, and have some other endearing qualities (when I see no endearing qualities, I assume they are great in bed). Men on the other hand generally set unreasonably expectations in ...

Or sufficiently swiftly.

I thought the yanks took that title back?

His arguement would make sense if men weren't also fat and unattractive.

I hope you get at least some sales. Its totally worth a buy.
