Thank you. That was pretty much my point. Weapons and armor break, expect it. Now it's not exactly historical, but can you imagine in A Knight's Tale if Heath Ledger's character had gone after the other knight when his armor cracked, or his helmet got battered? He'd be laughed off the field...

Been on this board a very long time and I understand it very well. There is a difference between discussion of table issues, and argumentative never ending discussion because you HAVE to be right and you want to prove it to your group. I've already been through this with someone from a past...

No sympathy from me. I'd happily vote against you. No matter how you slice it (haha), demanding recompense out of the gross receipts *IS* greedy and does impact one's fellow adventurers. And if the group wanted to get rid of you for the way this is all going down (the demands, the...

Public Service Hijack Otherkin don't bother me much. I've met more than a few. It's the few rare ones however, usually the 'dragon' ones, who get lost along the way. I've known two Dragonkin who got too into it, divorcing themselves from their Humanity (and thus, their sanity). One died of...

Bad experiences? More than my fair share, so those of you who don't have any? Slackers! I'm taking yours for you! Thank me! 1> Game groups where otherwise previously intelligent people suddenly become "this game has to be run on the easiest possible setting and we don't do more than hack...

You're missing out a LOT. Your Bardic Inspiration lasts for six rounds (the one it's done in plus five afterwards), so you can Inspire, and then cast, melee, do all sorts of other things. After all, how long does your average combat last? I've only inspired (I won't say "sung" as mine is an...

To me it is. I find it equally annoying in scifi. It's an alien race. Play it as alien. If you're going to play it as human, play a bloody human already! Unfortunately, whining knows no reasonable limits. True Life Conversation, August 2003: Me: Human, Dwarf, Gnome or Halfling only...

Only if played poorly. With Inspirational Boost and Song of the Heart (feat), my 6th level Bard boosts my party (self included) for +3 to hit/+3 damage. Hardly ineffectual. Last night we had our second lesson in Delusions of Granduer convincing an opponent that he didn't need to run away, but...

This kind of fantasy (D&D, et al) is described as "Sword and Sorcery". Fighter/Wizard is BOTH Sword AND Sorcery. Can't get any cooler than that. You not only get to hack down the bad guys with your sword, but blast 'em from a distance with powerful magic. Beyond that Ideal, I've played a...

I worry that oddball races are becoming so common in the game that I will never again be able to run a game with a limited number of races. It was already a problem in 3e, where I ran a game where Orcs were The Enemy, and so half-orcs were extremely unpopular with the NPC public. But of...

I am well pleased. Now I want to see the Bard, because I'm playing a Bard in a WotBS campaign and we won't be converting until all of our PC classes are released. While pretty cool and I'd certainly be happy to play a Warlord in the future, it isn't the same concept as a Bard and I would not...

If you want to see life come screaming to a halt, you should see snow in South Carolina. Back in Jan or Feb 1988, I was in Columbia when it snowed. Me from Minnesota, with my little Mazda pickup with the Minnesota plates. The minute it started coming down, they sent all of us home from work...

All these silly arguments over the name "warlord". Here I'm more interested in knowing if a female warlord is called a warlady.

In one previous (2e) campaign, the party had what was essentially a flying raft with a doorway into an extradimensional space built in. In quite a few 2e campaigns I've played, we've had our own ships. So far, I haven't played a 3e campaign with a solid base of operations. Unfortunately all...

Berman and Braga are now working for that studio??? ;)

While I dearly love Jackie Chan and have a lot of respect for him in many ways, I'm starting to wonder about the cumulative effects of repeated blows to his head. Or if he's trying to work some angle vis the Chinese people and be seen as more Chinese and less western. In the past, he's said...

Now I think you're being silly. I don't know anyone who would want to play a bunch of Vikings that go around cleaning places. :confused: ;)

This I think is an unfortunate artifact of modern western civilization. In a world with wide disparities in power between individuals (I mean active "Blast with Lightning Bolts" power) and potent MONSTERS roaming the countryside, with large numbers of different races with vastly different ideas...

I believe that Wrath of the Spider Queen is a movie, not a single episode. Me, I loves me some GAB&M. I may end up buying the DVD sets someday. They've done a couple of Harry Potter (Nigel Planter) episodes, which are great in that they're a mixture of HP and Animal House, even having the guy...

First off, you've blatantly ignored a moderator warning not to post in this thread anymore. Secondly this is the third or fourth "plonk" you've posted here, which is usually an indication that one is now putting the other person on Ignore. Something else not really cool on this board. Put the...
