All of those are cool ways to draw wands as free actions (Though a Heward's Handy Haversack takes care of that as well ;) ) but the wand sheath Warforged component has additional advantages above and beyond that... With a wand mounted in your wand sheath you can make the activation with a...

Just curious how people would rule on this... The description for the wand sheath Warforged component in the ECS says it occupies "space on the body as if it were a bracer." (Emphasis mine). This makes me wonder if you could therefore have two. Since it occupies the space of a bracer, rather...

I always loved watching Joss Whedon's shows, because he would deliberately set up a cliche, and then hit a punchline by suddenly deviating from it. Like the scene in Firefly where the crew comes to rescue Captain Reynolds, and they burst in on him fighting the evil guy's big right hand man, and...

Well... It's been nearly a month. I guess we should look for a new GM...

I'm just jealous that they never taught me the real spells. I mean, I've been into the epic levels before... How high do you have to get? ;)

You obviously haven't seen the Batman wizard builds. If a Wizard is allowed to make heavy use of their class ability to scribe spells into their books from scrolls and other people's spellbooks, they can very quickly become a monstrosity.

Not a chance. I'm not likely to get a copy of 4E for years, but I actually play Exalted.

Eh, that's more due to the fact that the large+ creatures are all ugly. Girls don't like to play ugly characters, as a rule. Argh... Note to self: DOn't forget you came to a thread via a google search and then reply to it, forgetting that it's probably years old.

A Setting Sun Swordsage with a reach weapon (Particularly a chain) is a truly, truly excellent battlefield controller though. That's one role the other ToB classes can't do as well as the SS. Particularly if he has some way to increase his size (And therefore, reach).

Heh, that was funny, though not as funny as the guy who came along and zinged the mean girl. "Why mean girl, don't you look beautiful in that dress. I bet it took six slaves six hours to get you into that. Although from what your daddy tells me, it only takes a handsome boy's smile to get you...

Yeah, the jokes that used to be in the Goblins comic proper now live in the Tempts Fate bits, really ;)

I've been following Goblins for ages. This last one was great. I love how Thac0 talks Ears down finally, and then Complains goes into Rage. Great twist :D

Diplomacy is the skill of influencing people. There's absolutely no reason you shouldn't be able to use it to influence people towards hating you (Or even goad them into attacking you) if that's what you want to use it for.

I ignore the actual topic of debate in favor of pointing out logical fallacies in everyone's posts.

Man, I hope he's coming back, I was really getting into Alex's character.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Or, more appropriately, just because someone else does something ten times worse than what you're doing, it doesn't make something wrong that you're doing any better. I strongly disapprove of all corporate policies that lead to that kind of waste. I do not...

Cars are as well. That doesn't mean it's ok to just destroy a working product when there are people who don't have them and could benefit from the use of that resource.

Yes, actually. If it still runs, and the dealership were to scrap it I'd be quite upset at the waste of resources. I'd be somewhat tempted to ask the dealership if they were likely to resell it or scrap it, and if the latter, I'd probably try to sell it to a private party instead. Or give it...

When I ran campaigns, about 95% of everything took place in cities. Just not places where it makes sense to have traps everywhere. Besides, I figure most people are smart enough to realize that they're more likely to kill themselves when they forget about a trap or mess up the disarming...

Basically never. Less than 1% of sessions in campaigns I've run had anything you could refer to as a dungeon in them. And even then, I'm just not a fan of traps, they're not terribly logical. The most I'd be likely to do would be alarms, or tripwires/pressure plates that cause doors to lock...
