    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    Er. Just about everything you put in this post is incorrect. Sony developed Blu-Ray (not HD-DVD), thus it's use in the PS3. They have attempted to promulgate it as a standard akin to that for DVD or CDs. So there are a number of other companies that have "signed on" to the standard, such as...

    Raising Int - how does it effect skills?

    The key distinction here, is that skill points are something you get at a new level. They are a feature of that level specifically. Thus you get different amounts of skill points from different classes at different levels and there's no interaction between getting 4pts for a barb and only 2 for...

    Stone Form from Races of Stone

    Since it could be using up your only instance of Wild Shape available for the day or the only one remaining. I'd have to argue that it can be used when not wild shaped. If it had to be used while wild shaped, it should say so in the feat description. Also the bonuses it's giving are...

    Raising Int - how does it effect skills?

    From 4th lvl on you get the extra skill point. It does not work retroactively. So you'd have say 4 skill points a level up to 4th when you would start getting 5 a level.

    [360] Playing on 1680x1050?

    Native 1080p resolution is 1920×1080. So that's your target if you don't want any scaling or stretching. The problem with the "blurriness" of non-native resolutions on LCDs though has to do with trying to interpolate pixels to arrive at at the non-native resolution, so if you can make the...

    Any opinions about FFVII on PC?

    IIRC, there was something with the Gamma on the backgrounds, being off (appearing washed out). Make sure you have a Dual Shock style controller. The quality of the cut scenes is lower, but the 3d graphics are better on the PC. It's a great game either way, though the graphics which were mind...

    Great Game Quotes

    We were chasing down a pair of Rakshasas who had stolen a dangerous artifact. We had found out what they were, though they hadn't yet revealed themselves to us yet and they were in the process of giving us the usual threats about not pursuing them via a projected image. Which lead to this...

    NVidia

    I'm guessing from the age of the game that it's probably a DOS based game. You might want to look into something called a "DOS Box" (also the name of one of the products). It basically replicates the "DOS" environment for using older DOS programs. This may be the original product, but there are...

    Alternate Protection from Arrows

    Guys could we please try to keep things vaguely on topic? While it's an interesting debate as to what people enjoy in terms of threats/challenges, it doesn't really have anything to do with "Improved Protection From Arrows". You can always start a thread in the main forum it's much better suited...

    Alternate Protection from Arrows

    Well Prot Arrows isn't supposed to make you immune to medium-high cr threats. It's to protect you against the 300 archers shooting at you with normal arrows. Since you are talking about a new spell (to make into a potion), let's look at what else is already here. The obvious follow on is...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Well we survived the fight with the BBEG with the help of a couple of Limited Wishes (Good bye XP I knew thee well). What ever the hell it was. Of course things are still far from sweetness and light, in particular the Quori have a couple of hundred Warforged they can possess. On the bright...

    D&D in North Philly Suburbs

    Sorry to hear it's still causing problems for you, but at least it's somewhat improved. Car is being a money pit, but other than that I'm good.

    Non-iPod compatible with iTunes?

    An 8 gb flash based iPod mini runs about $200. There are refurb models available for about $20-30 less. I've owned a refurb iPod mini and it was terrific. There are also some refurb previous gen iPods for about $20-30 less than the refurbed current models, but they don't have the video...

    So I've hit the damage roadblock on an Archer

    Treating it as a martial weapon is at the DMs discretion. Most things that are large or bigger are going to be NPCs anyway. So it's not really that much of a player abuse-able item as a DM abuseable item and the DM can just give them the extra feat if they really feel like it. Don't...

    So I've hit the damage roadblock on an Archer

    I read over the section that it appears in. It's not an exotic weapon like the Spiked Chain or Goliath Greathammer. Both of those sorts of weapons offer significant and substantial advantages that can not be easily replicated any other way. The weapons in the section where the Greatbow appears...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    She-row-kin-nu-cat-sue-ka-me (For the english pronunciation). Three years in Japan FTW! It help if you know that japanese words basically all come in consonant-vowel pairs. It's why "The Ring" is "Ringu" in japanese. Itchi, itax, i... I'm just not going there for that one though.

    Anyone Use Portable External Harddrives? I Need Advice

    An eSata connection is also a good option. Even Firewire 800 restricts the throughput to some degree. eSata should give you the same speed as if it were an internal drive (of course as with anything a sufficiently kluged together case might hobble that). Though the through put is also less...

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    Sep IIRC does not have XP development costs for epic spells. I know there was at least one event where Nwm, spontaneously cast an epic spell burning the Staff he had to power an epic spell ("She Is Tired of Your Interference"), to fry a bunch of demons that were attacking the castle. Here's...

    That's nice. There's also the ignore list. You might want to use it for me. I'll be using it for you.
