    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    I think I've run out of words to describe how much of a rat-bastard Sagiro is. "Stop acting reasonable! You're meant to be a villain, dammit!"

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    A thought: Battle against ghoulish agents. An Illusionist has placed illusions on all the attackers to make them look like friends, relatives and loved ones of the PCs. No real effect, but a creepy visual. Or make them all look like the PCs to sow confusion in battle. Can the ghoul template be...

    Next Robert Jordan book announced!

    My opinion on Goodking: The first book should have been two books. The second and third books should have been one book. The fourth+ book shouldn't have been.

    When is a Shuriken not a Shuriken?

    [Feb] What are you reading now?

    'Foucalt's Pendulum', Umberto Eco. Having some difficulty getting into it, the writing is a bit flowery for me.

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Isn't there a little matter of a 'list' the Company have to be getting to?

    What changes to Humans would you like to see in D&D 3.5?

    What changes to Humans would you like to see? I'd like an extra arm, personally.

    "Fighter" Character Concepts

    The last Fighter I played was an ex-mercenary with a halberd. He fought in a very measured, methodical manner. First knock them to the ground, take their weapon away as they fall, then chop them up as they lie defenceless on the ground. I had a custom feat that allowed me to knock disarmed...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Somehow, I have the funny feeling that Naradawk hasn't given up yet... It's wonderful to here about all the other plots that were foiled, equally capable of collapsing the kingdom, that the Company didn't even know about. They aren't the only fish in this pond.

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    So if and when the PCs kill him they may get some sudden 'instant allies'.

    Japanese vs American character development

    JC was deliberately designed with little personality so the player can project their desired persona onto him. You can play as anything from a blood-crazed Rambo to a weary pacifist who never kills anyone, so a strong character would restrict the player's characterisation.

    [Dusk] The Gnomish Compound Bow

    So make it a +1 enhancement bonus, same as any other masterwork weapon. They're pricy enough for it, and it fits the flavor better.

    OT Hotmail_Hack - what is it?

    Yes most trojans (or 'remote admin tools') can be fairly easily removed with virus-scanners and specialised programs like the one D'karr posted, but while it's there they have root access to your computer. Most likely they'd just use you as a zombie to launch a DDOS attack, but they might decide...

    Spell Death Beam

    But by the time you're that level shouldn't you be using Epic spells instead?

    OT Hotmail_Hack - what is it?

    It's spam, almost certainly a trojan (if you run it the person who sent it will have complete control over your computer.)

    Finished Crossroads of Time, Rant

    He should get George Martin as a co-author. That 75% target will be met by the end of the third chapter.

    Spell Death Beam

    Given that it does allow spell resistance I think this spell is fine. Perhaps a little weak even. With the uncapped damage I can see it becoming pretty nasty on even a successful save, but you're epic level by then. If you don't have some form of SR it's your own fault.

    Crystal Armor

    Heavily Psionically enhanced items tend to be part or all crystal. The price is included in the gp cost of the item, the difficulty in working it in the creation time, and the magical reinformcement in the enchantment. So a +2 crystal breastplate is just the same as a +2 breastplate apart from...

    Weird things that attract players

    Lets see now... medium weapon, d8 20/x2 bludgeoning, +4 to disarm and trip because of the protruding bits, grants +1 to AC because those bits get in the way of opponent's sword, add weapon's enhancement bonus to that AC bonus. On a natural 20 you snag your opponent's armor and hang it on the rack.

    Honor Harrington

    So are you saying she did develop a character, or that you grew to accept it as part of the series? Because I'm thinking of picking up War of Honor to get the CD, but if she stays as 2d as she as now I don't think I'd like it.
