Part of the issue is fantasy grounds doesn't seem to track expertise directly, so it requires a few extra clicks. I'd say it is more the complexity of having lots of small "abilities" that don't add any actions in combat but still clutter the character sheet.

Don't forget these are under battlefield conditions, at a sustained rate. The sustained rate of fire for a longbow is around 2 arrows per minute, up to 6 in short bursts. A 1st level 3.5e longbowman can fire at 20 arrows per minute - quite a difference. I'd suggest muskets have a similar...

Remember that levels are gained through risk. No risk, no xp. The lifespan of an elven adventurer is the same as that of a human adventurer (probably months). Also NPCs don't have the nice progression of CR appropriate encounters, they just fight what they encounter. Today a group of orcs...

Sorry, no, it's that wonderful you should pay it out yourself :) I _can_ guarantee enworld will work. Contracts are evil. *smite*

Excellent. I've tried a couple of times today to hunt down the appropriate person, but the datacentre opening makes it hard to get hold of people. I noticed the sig in other threads :)

Pimp away baby! (Interested to see Hong acting like a pimp)

Fair enough, I use far more than that just general web browsing. OTOH both my wife and I work for an ISP, so...

The bundled Optus price is generally the same as the 'node price, but with a smaller cap. eg: 512 k is the same price between Optus (when bundled) and Internode (when unbundled), but Optus give a 2+4 GB* cap whereas Internode give an 8 GB cap**. 2 GB is tiny. * 2 GB during the day, 4 GB at...

We love you long time.

I do this IMC. Artifacts may be temporarily suppressed, at the cost of losing spellcasting powers for a period. Given most epic level PC parties IMC have an artifact, the risk of losing all your powers, even for a limited time, is not to be sneezed at.

In that case, it's clear. Enworld was blocking the IP of one of Internode's transparent proxies. As this was only used in Adelaide Hong didn't have a problem. Since enworld is fine for me now, it must have been unblocked. Sorry about everyone else though, must be an optus issue. ;)

The page saying 'banned', at least for me, is generated from enworld. It's not a timeout, page generated by some other body, or anything else. Could be two different issues if other people are getting timeouts instead of an error page.

I have the problem at home, but I'm on a static IP which isn't in that range. I also have had the problem from work, and my work IP addresses aren't in a range known for it's bogon issues. The transparent proxies (Adelaide only) also aren't in that range. I thought it was a bogon issue at first...

Our own. It appears cyberstreet use qwest, which means it pops out of Internode in San Jose, using ntt as transit. So optus network stuff in Sydney will have no effect. (Edit: as per Hong's traceroute above) (See http://www.agile.com.au/data/network/ip/index.htm (Agile is the wholesale arm of...

IP baning in Australia The block must be from inside enworld as it's a vbulletin error page. Could be an error in the blocklist file (eg: return rather than space) or maybe a bogon filter inside vbulletin. I don't know enough about vbulletin to give any specific suggestions though. It's...
