Oops, my bad, written in haste from work :S There is! About to fly to France for a month with her to meet her family! :P But I don’t think that is what you were talking about! When we started dating, being aware of the contention around the pronunciation, I simply asked… .

My two cents worth from Downunder… It is definitely Gaol down here, as we are still a part of the commonwealth. I’m surprised Canada doesn’t follow suit, but not overly… Melee (‘meh-lay’) and most of the others generally seem to be pronounced ‘correctly’ down here, but I encountered the odd...

Ego GM/DMs: Those who, when they are genuinely outsmarted by their players, perceive it as a personal affront to their intelligence and take petty revenge on the characters; cursing, maiming, killing, etc - Been there, done that, no thanks...

Agreed - or... ok, this is going to sound ‘unrealistic’ (let’s just call it Cinematic :S), but maybe don’t treat standard HP loss as ‘damage’; at the end of combat, all HPs are recovered with a short rest (so HP = Exhaustion), and true damage (ie Bites, etc) only come from Critical Hits or...

With the introduction of Martial Power II & the level 5 Ranger power 'Snarling Wolf Stance', it has raised the question, "Can an Opportunity Action and a Immediate Action both be provoked by the same trigger?" Snarling Wolf Stance (Opportunity Action, Trigger: An enemy hits or misses you with...

The “Patron” gives the PCs poison/potion/something to pour into/onto the badguys before dumping them in the ocean to feed and kill a “greater evil”... lets just call it a marinade :P
