My BASIC skills are decrepit, but wouldn't that assign a truth value to c, instead of the result of malloc(p)? Anyway, assignment and comparison are very different concepts; why use the same syntax for both?

Are these really uncontested facts?

Note that in 3.5, the Combat Expertise penalty (and bonus) lasts until your next action, but Power Attack lasts until your next turn.

You're welcome. ;) But that still does not answer my question.

Irrelevant again The right person being the ... mother? Why not insult the person in question, instead of unrelated relatives?

Sorry about being completely irrelevant, but I've wondered about this for ages: When someone annoys you, why do you insult their mother?

Yes. Not completely, there's still the countertrip risk.

Accepted by whom?

Can someone please tell me where the "X, Y, Z, oh my" idiom comes from?

But it's only worth it if you hit on 12+, or need a natural 20, right? Or is my math off?

Keep one hand on your weapon, grapple with the other. The point is, if you want to stop the rogue getting past the front lines, you can do it with a readied action, regardless of Tumble.

At short range, a flurry of shuriken would in many circumstances do more damage than a single crossbow bolt or sling bullet. For non-monks, it's useless, but so are all the other monk weapons. -- Jon

Yes, you do. Page 113: "A character gets no Strength bonus on damage rolls with a projectile weapon unless it's a specially built composite shortbow, specially built composite longbow, or sling." -- Jon

Nah, your rudeness isn't explicit enough. :) Then again, I'm not all that familiar with the NY stereotype. And I agree; understanding is rarely the problem (though it may be). I am pretty sure, though, that it slows down reading comprehension, and if the time lost reading your messages exceed...

You may save some time dropping capitals and apostrophes, but you waste your readers' time by making your message slightly harder to read. Disregarding the conventions of your audience is bad, not because you are breaking the holy and unchangeable laws of grammar and spelling, but because it is...

And Treebeard taking the hobbits to Gandalf makes no sense at all. In the book, Gandalf doesn't meet neither the hobbits nor the ents until after the assault on Isengard. If Gandalf was hanging out with Treebeard, why didn't he try to convince him to attack Isengard? Why does he let Treebeard...
