Here are my somewhat unconventional rankings, from best to worst. You'll probably notice a weird pattern: 1: Strange, I know. While the overarching plot was weaker than other seasons, the comedy was great and the dialogue is some of the best ever written. Even quiet, uneventful scenes in the...

Not an original show, but I'd turn "A Game Of Thrones" into an HBO series (that means all of the sex and violence of the series could be translated over). As much detail as possible from the books would be preserved, and special effects would be used sparingly, relying less on cheesy-looking CG...

If the caster of Miasma is killed, does the Miasma effect go away? If so, this might be a balancing factor. Druids would be wary of casting the spell and drawing a monster's undivided attention.

I'd like to see the alignment restriction on monks dropped completely. I don't buy the "disciplined lifestyle" thing...wizards, for example, require just as much discipline and dedication to become powerful in the magical arts. Even evil clerics could have strictly regimented lifestyles and...

I found Season 3 to be much more even in quality than Season 2...in Season 2 there were a few episodes I thought were a little weak. Regardless, the first three seasons of Buffy are all brilliant and everyone should own them on DVD. As far as I'm concerned the show ended with Graduation...

I agree that Mortal Kombat was pretty decent for what it tried to do. That is, be a reasonably entertaining action movie with good production values. The sequel, MK: Annihilation, sucked however. Game movies should stick to the general plot of the source material, or if that's unfeasible at...

Yeah, my fanaticism about the series has managed to convince two friends to read the books and become fanatics themselves. The world and characters crafted by Martin are so fantastical, and yet so realistic, that the books are by far the most emotionally impacting fantasy I've ever read.

However, you could think of it this way: .5 of the Strength bonus comes from your legs and body, and .5 comes from your arms. When you use both, it becomes 1, for the total 1.5 Strength bonus.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if a fighter has no wizard levels he can duplicate the Shield and Haste effects with potions, right? In the last campaign I played my Barbarian often began by drinking a 50 gp Shield potion. I'm not sure shields offset the power of 2-handed weapon fighting...

I'm partial to the Falchion. The base 18-20 critical range, augmented with the Keen enchantment and the Improved Critical feat, yields a critical threat on a 12-20...more effective than a Greatsword for high-damage fighter types. The Scythe is cool too. I just happen to prefer more frequent...

It's an excellent soundtrack that gets better the more you listen to it. I especially like the tracks "Evenstar", "Forth Eorlingas", "Foundations of Stone", and "Samwise the Brave".

I don't want to spoil the movie. Must resist...urge to...download... http://img-nex.theonering.net/movies/TTTReturn-hi.mov EDIT: And you have to click this link as well...pure comedy gold: http://users3.ev1.net/~eekfrenzy/captionspage/badfotrcaptionsx.html

Cool. I wonder if they changed the Bard, and whether the Duelist is included among the added DMG prestige classes.

Yeah, there are a lot of solutions. Casting Levitate (with a wand if you don't want to waste spell slots) on the Berserker beforehand, then raising him in the air while he flails impotently during Frenzy works. Also, you can just Summon crappy monsters for the Berserker to beat on until his rage...

Thanks for the correction. The Singh Rager is now no longer ludicrously powerful, merely ridiculously powerful. :) As a side question, are there any other Rages that can stack with the Singh Rager's ability? I know the Barbarian's and Frenzied Berserker's don't because of alignment...

The Singh Rager prestige class has many things going for it: a rage equal to a Barbarian's (including Greater Rage, acquired at the same level that a pure Barbarian gets it), the ridiculously good Pounce ability, Remain Conscious for free, and excellent Will Saves. What really pushes the class...

New players are definitely entertaining...especially when they are complete newbies and have no idea of monsters' weaknesses. For example, a regenerating Troll or two can provide hours of fun, until they figure out the fire/acid thing.

This thread has given me an excuse, albeit a flimsy one, to post a picture of the D&D-playing Lexa Doig: That is all.

http://demand1.stream.aol.com/ramgen/aol/us/aolentertainment/movies/2002/lotr/132757_638498_nb.rm The picture quality's not great, but the trailer itself is amazing. Watch it.

If you're talking a complete overhaul, then yes, I'd like to see AC as DR. It could add another level of strategy to combat. Of course, I'd like to see ways of armour-piercing so that small weapons such as daggers wouldn't become useless (for example, an assassin could have an ability to ignore...
