    Keen/Improved Crit

    I think it had something to do with power-attacking barbarians wielding falchions that critted on a 12 or better. Or even better, wielding keen, vorpal falchions and basically beheading everything in sight. I know they fixed vorpal in 3.5, I would hazard a guess that they felt ever having a...

    PC design help please, feats / skills ???

    That's cool, but when I think of Li Mui Bai, I would gravitate more towards Fighter 1/Monk X/Kensai X. Monk because he uses no armor, moves gracefully, and is good in hand to hand combat. Monks also use 'ki' a lot. Fighter obviously because he can use any weapon well.

    Greetings and palpitations all you caffeinds, a new black death arrives from Mountain

    Ughhh, dew. And now 7-up and sprite have these new "berry" flavors. Man, I know they said variety, but I've always liked the same soda. And no-one has mentioned the king of sodas, red raspberry diet rite!!! The King!!!. BTW, if anyone's ever seen regular red raspberry rite, I'd love to know...

    Who's a Hotty?

    Arghhh... so many choices, but I'll go with girls I've had a thing for for a long time. 1). Britney Spears (I know it's cliche, but.....) 2). Katie Holmes 3). Angelina Jolie

    The Wal-Mart of Teotihuacan

    I hate wal-mart. More specifically because I hate large corporations, and because wal-mart hypocritically censors cds, but sells uncensored dvds, won't carry cosmo but sell mad loads of liquor and tobacco. When I lived in Oklahoma, I had to shop there, but now I make it a point not to. Oh...

    Spontaneous casters: Lower-level spells in higher-level slots?

    We could fill whole threads with what was wrong with that game. After playing Baldur's Gate II, I was expecting something of similar quality, just updated to 3.5. Needless to say, my disappointment was vast. However, I found playing Knights of the old Republic washed the unpleasant elemental...

    What's in your CD/mp3 player?

    *Sigh* so many bands I've never heard of and would like to listen to. Kazaa is no help, I'll have to actually find clips.

    Scariest Monsters?

    Most stuff from the Epic Level Handbook. Atropals in particular, huge, evil, stillborn babies... yeech. Worm that walks, that creature that looks like a thousand wings. And no one mentioned neogi, they freak me out, especially what happens when they get older.

    Intelligent Weapon/EGO contest (unusual situation)

    I don't think slitting the throat of a held enemy in the heat of battle is evil at all. You can't risk them making their will save and getting free, and if you knock them out, then have to retreat, next time you fight, there they are, good as new. Now, if the battle is over, and the enemy...

    Effects of not sleeping?

    Did you at least get to grab 1 hour naps or something? The longest I've ever done was about 60 hours without sleep when I was in college and had to have finals then move out of my apartment, and towards the end I would nod off just standing up, I'd hate handling military equipment or, even...

    Did WotC change some monster's CR's ?

    Bump that! Encounters, theoretically, should be designed with player abilities in mind. If you're fighting giants, maybe they have a giant cleric to dispel and heal, one who actually has a decent will save... Giant scorpions by themselves don't present that much challenge after a certain...

    Hopefully quick questions

    The illithid class is the illithid savant from Savage Species. And the mechanics of it are pretty weird, I believe they get abilities from brains they eat, eventually even getting (su) or (ex) ones. If you ask me, that's begging for munchkinism. But you sound like you have a hand on your...

    Did WotC change some monster's CR's ?

    They are hard if you play to their strengths. Giants? Yeah, you melee with them, it's gonna get tough. On the other hand, a well-placed confusion spell in their midst can pretty much render a group of giants useless. Or sit back 100 feet, take a few rocks, and watch them fumble their reflex...

    Giant or Skeleton? Or both?

    I would also make the arguement it has to do with the giants body type, though. I.E. dwarfs know how to get in blind spots, duck underneath legs, get places where it's harder to get a good swing. But ultimately, seems like a house-rule type situation.

    A slew o' questions

    My group threw down last night and a number of situations presented themselves. 1) Can you grapple with an AOO? If you can, do you provoke an AOO from the person you are trying to grapple? I'm pretty sure the first part is right, since you can trip as an AOO, I don't see why you couldn't...
