Personally, the only way we can tell if the designers put time and effort behind the numbers is to be at the tests ourselves. Otherwise, everything is pure speculation so far. Or we could, like, look at the numbers they have released so far? I have not seen anything in 4e that would persuade me to ...

LaVey espoused a philosophy based on embracing the facts of human nature and putting them to work towards your goals. Doing the same to D&D you end up with K's philosophy: Find a divine patron who agrees with whatever it is you want to do and then do what thou wilt. So Satanism in D&D is not...

She sounds a bit like my current gf and she is nowhere near the class of my ex. As Frank said, you are not really in anything horrible, it's just that the two of you see your relationship in different ways. Sit down and talk to her is probably the best thing you can do. She may not even realize how ...

While I generally agree with angelfromanotherpin, I'd suggest a different approach to people we can't live with: Boot Camp. Seriously, about the only place where society can use the fact that someone is OK with killing is in the army. And the brainwashing involved in serious army training will proba...

Jordan was still a good writer in books 8-11, it's just that he lost focus. A ridiculously large cast and a hundred-strong supporting cast, most of them unrelated and mainly there for flavor will do that. Seriously, this is the story of the Dragon Reborn, I don't care who Master Nory is and I really...

Some guy called ISAM did good work summarising the endless books. Pretty funny parodies of the characters I thought. Now I'm looking for equally funny summaries of other stuff. Like LotR or certain movies

A language is a system of communication. By being anti-semantic you are either a) against communication or b) against accurate communication.[br][br]If the case is (a) then what are you doing here communicating with us anyway?[br][br]If the case is (b) then you are proposing that Bush has the right ...

I have nothing that isn't on public record anyway. So I'll agree with cthulhu. I'm not sure if sending me an email will work, our spam filters are... aggressive. Anyway, here's to a happy and easy transfer

Linux has the best version of my favorite game to date: Minesweeper! I seriously carry a Kubuntu Live DVD around which, while technically a tool for repairing PCs, see a lot of use as a game machine in various PCs around town.

I really, really like the setting of Exalted. Unfortunately, it's rules system sucks ass through a straw harder than a black hole. A gigantic one.[br][br]Rule systems I like are two: Weapons of the Gods for epic kung fu action and WUSHU for everything else.[br][br]WotG is a system made for wuxia com...

True. But that is the best I can do for their sound effect.

1202783687[/unixtime]]for some reason this makes me think of a joke about elephants in trees... I don't remember a damn other thing... [br][br]Well apparently a Dire Elephant (MM2 p. 75) has a Climb of +23 and a Climb Speed of 10ft. Which, as was immortalized in rpg.net, explains their tactic of cl...

To return on an earlier subject: What are the effects of LSD? Both short-term and long-term. And I'd love a comparison to what the crazies say are the effects (I'd like that because the best thing Greece has to say about LSD is "it's bad for you". i need me some crazy)[br][br][br]And for a...

Frankly, I'd just give them a -3 or -4 penalty on rolls and lift it at a rate of 1 per week of adjustment. Heavier atmosphere isn't terribly important in a game of heroic fantasy.

Ah. It all makes sense now.

1200994445[/unixtime]]Also once you have this thrice damned language pack it will helpfully load it for you based on clock settings. [br][br]Color me confused. Why do you install other languages since you apparently don't want them?[br][br] 1200994445[/unixtime]]You can't just download the English ...

HiQKid2 at [unixtime wrote:1200947327[/unixtime]]You say that like it's a bad thing.

I'd rather have you come up with new awesome ideas instead of old awesome ideas.

Download and use the English-only version. My PC is set to Greek but I don't even have the Greek menus for Firefox

Principle of Motion is abou doing things really fast. You don't punch any harder, it just takes less time to perform your punch. I usually describe it as moving-so-fast-you-leave-aftereffects-that-do-stuff. You might also say he blurs and stuff happens. You writing Exalted fanfic or something?

Because transmitting through the air creates awesome visuals. Compare thunderbolts with... well, nothing. Anyone with such powers would use the air because his mind cannot visualize anything else.

1199010954[/unixtime]]Well, Ptolus and Eberron DO do that already. Just, poorly. Now, actually thinking the whole thing through, such as "D&D leads to the Wish Economy. Let's make that a standard part of the setting." and all would be kind of cool/funny. [br][br]No, they don't. There ...

1198902967[/unixtime]]We need to get back to threads that make us laugh or cry instead of arguments with idiots. I mean, I know there has been a bit of a dearth lately because linking to the WotC boards is just too easy , but still. [br][br]OK. Out of the first page of rpg.net we see:[br][br]1) Do ...

This guy and any Caster Level loop at all will end the world. Spellcasting based on caster level? What the hell man? Hasn't the Word taught you anything?[br][br]I suggest changing it to character level and making it come up more often. As is, your first level is decent and your second level is fvcki...

Deadly Precision adds 2d6 damage whenever you fulfill the criteria for a SA. It's not extra SA damage which means it works against everything immune to criticals and it's dog. It's actually pretty good.[br] Your bonus feat can be any feat ever printed. I suggest getting Perfect Two Weapon Fighting ...
