Best one-handed weapon for the halfling, if you don't want to limit yourself to off hand weapons (though the shortsword does give you that nice +3 proficiency bonus which means you get to hit more often with it), has got to be the Scimitar. Since it is not Versatile like the longsword is, the...

I like the basic concept in general, and it would go really well in a Wuxia campaign where you can pretty much define your gear however you want to.

Basically, if an opponent that the fighter has marked does a shift and the fighter hits with his interrupt attack, that particular attempt to shift is canceled, but the opponent can still give up his attack for the round to make another move action without the interrupt to try to get away or get...

Ouch. Bad dice luck hurt your party big time, especially when that ambush went down in the second encounter. The Defenders did their job well in keeping the Dragonshields away from the others, though we had some VERY bad luck on the Rogue's part with the Skirmisher, which meant the Cleric had...

I'd peg Aragorn as more of a Warlord multiclassing in Ranger myself for this edition. Especially later on.

I'm reminded of how Medusa's head could still turn people to stone even after Perseus chopped it off, and in fact was used as a weapon this way in the later scenes of the myth. So there's some precedent there.

Indeed. Psychotics were often considered to be possessed by evil nasty demons anyway, considering this wasn't a very scientific kind of age.

Dammit! I thought something was amiss when I couldn't get on this afternoon. Ah, well...still have Script Frenzy to tide me over until they fix this.

If my characters come back, it will mainly be because they left some very important task unfinished, like stopping a world-threatening evil or saving someone they dearly love. Other than that, if my character dies, he's staying dead, especially if he sacrificed himself to fulfill the very...

Not if you knock him prone and pin him to the ground with it, he won't! :]

The Cancer Mage and Vermin Lord would indeed be the reference in question. The bit about them that especially stuck out in my mind was that the half-orc's fondest wish was to be turned to stone by the gaze of his medusa lover. Don't know about the rest of you, but that is messed up.

Every spell requires some kind of mystic link to whatever you're trying to affect, something belonging to a person or coming from an area that you're looking to cast your spell on. This does not lend itself very well to combat, don't get me wrong, but if an evil sorcerer gets hold of something...

You wouldn't be referring to Inglorious Bastards, would you? Because I do believe that's been in the works for a while.

Also, if you have the PHB II, it has a rundown right at the end on quick creation of higher-level PCs, including quick rundowns on what each point of magical enhancement costs in GP, and it even throws in a standard Adventurer's Kit for those of us who aren't really crazy about picking our way...

My primary surfing is mainly on RPG.net nowadays. Unfortunately, the forums are down over there, and they're busy trying to fix the problem, which could take all friggin' day from the sounds of things. :(

My Killer character in Feng Shui would absolutely carry a weapon into church, but it's likely to be a pistol or two rather than a sawed-off under a trenchcoat unless he's planning to defend the place from a major assault -- Triad gangsters and other goons have little to no respect for religion...

Aside from the other very cool animes listed here, I will have to throw in my vote for AKIRA.

I do think this is a pretty damned cool idea. And I believe that Atlas Games did a writeup on Faceless Hordes in Burning Shaolin that would make for very good reading. They gave them 4 HP and ruled that any hit that did that or more took them immediately out of the fight, while anything less...
