It is also highly unfair to compare Nazi anything to the Confederacy. It was two completely different agendas. Of course people are going to claim it is similar because they keep relating the ownership of slaves to being racist (therefor evil). The south wasn't going to war to exterminate...

Which means they were not a person. Well I've already explained it in length. If you are so set on wanting to make it a racist symbol, then I can't stop you. But it's not a racist symbol, regardless of what misinformed people use it for or because you saw a skinhead waving it around. The...

Judging a guy cause he has an "ooky" flag hanging up is no different than saying you wouldn't be friends with a guy that has a D&D poster on his wall because it represents devil worshiping. My entire family is from the south and I'm very proud of it. I'm white and I'm married to an Afghan...

Slaves were not considered "people" during that era. "People" had rights, slaves did not. And I'm not just saying that to make a point. Slaves really were not legally identified as a "person". So yes, they were tools. And yes, I agree, when you substitute people for tools it does change things...

Again, he's mistaking the south as being "racist" simply for owning slaves. Then he is relating racism with the flag that the south flew. I don't understand why people like to believe the north was not racist just because they didn't own slaves. Blacks were not treated equally in the north. You...

The Civil War was about slavery, but that is not what the war was fought over. Like usual, it was fought over money and power. The thing people tend to do these days is relate "slavery" to "racism". People of the same race often enslave their own kind and that does not make them "racist". So in...

Sorry, poor wording on my part. That was part of the notes I've been taking for myself as I was skimming the rules and it meant that you still roll for concealment miss chance when performing a combat maneuver. I didn't mean to confuse anyone. :o So am I missing any other rules regarding...

I'm doing some 3.5 to PF monster conversions and I want to make sure I'm familiar with all of the various CMB & CMD rules for determining bonus/penalty scores for creatures. Can anyone let me know if I'm missing any other adjustment modifiers for any sort of creature type or other PF rules that...

The main thing you should do is to talk to him about his "jerk" PC. Let him know that the group may no longer want to travel with him and if he wants to play, he needs to either shape up, or make a new PC that the party can tolerate. It's one thing for a PC to be a jerk, it's another thing if...

Yeah, I wish Paizo had an illustration of one. I love looking at the weapon artwork.

He's gotta have a big scar on his face. Other than that, people like a villain that they can relate to even though he's the bad guy. If he doesn't have some quality that shows he's "human", he's just bland and empty. Sort of like how the protagonist usually has an issue that causes people to...

I'm not a big fan of the typical nunchakus wielding, sai throwing, spin-kicking Monk. I recently made a Monk and I found the Temple Sword really fit what I visioned my Monk to be like. Unfortunately, there is no artwork in the D&D books for a Temple Sword. But based off the description, it...

Keep in mind, when you are not drinking, the people around you who are drinking become annoying to be around. If you are drinking, the people around you who are drinking become a lot more fun to be around. You sound like a guy that enjoys a drink. I understand drinking & driving is bad, but is...

"Yes, a 17 hits. How much damage does he take?"

I'm doing a conversion and there is an NPC with Fighter & Wizard levels. I'd rather use an alternative 3.5 class that functions as a melee caster. I know of the Duskblade but I've already used that class for another conversion and I would like to spice it up with variety. I'd also like to...

I think you should give us some examples of things he did in game that you find to be a problem. Sure, the drunken dwarf loudmouth is a stereotype, but it's a stereotype for a reason. It can be fun and interesting. Not just to the player, but for everyone else too. I'm not saying that it can't...

PDF = Portable Document Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Welcome to the year 2012! :lol:

Who said it is meant to benefit combat? Sounds more like a charismatic benefit to me. Imagine what the ladies would say after you cast that spell.

I also just remembered, not only do I not mark in my books, but when I want to run one of my published adventures, I print off my pdf version of it so I can highlight it and take notes on the pages.

I never mark in my books. I don't even like when I accidentally draw a line on a page with my pencil even though I erase it. But I tend to take extremely good care of my things because I like them to last as long as they can, and I enjoy handling a book that is in nice condition more than a book...
