I played a game with Samuel L Jackson, once. All we fought were "Mother [Expletive Deleted] Dragons in Mother [Expletive Deleted] caves!" Such a twink.

Haven't tried the command prompt yet, I'll give that a shot. I don't know where the hard drive is, but when I move my hand around, I don't feel any spinning or clicking. It's still really slow after it boots. I'm downloading avg now, to see if that'll help. I've tried stopping programs in...

I have a Sony Vaio notebook that's having some problems. When it starts, it runs slow (taking 30+ minutes to get to the login screen). The first time I started it (working on it for a friend), it gave me a cmos checksum error, but that hasn't reappeared. I'm not that proficient with laptops...

Interesting... human expert 3 Str 18 - I can pretty easily walk around with a couple of people on my shoulders. Dex 7 - I'm a clutz. I trip over my shoes. Con 6 - Used to be higher, but now I have a really bad heart. Like, die by 40 bad. Int 18 - I was in the 99.9th percentile in school...

Yeah, it doesn't look like my router can do it. However, through some judicious use of a box knife and some duct tape, I got it running. But thanks to both of you for your help.

Cool, thanks for the quick answer.

Is it possible to use a wireless router (namely, the BEFW11S4) to connect to another wireless network, without using a wireless card? I bought a wireless router that has 4 Lan ports on the back, and then found out that my roommate already has a router. The quick answer is just to buy a...

Why does every one who's higher level have to be as good at combat as the pc's are. Maybe their mentor can talk the talk (ie, give them advice), but just doesn't have the "chutzpah" to blast like he used to. If he freezes up for a minute or two, that's long enough for the players to take out...

I steal shamelessly. That Rakshasa posing as a gladiator? We'll base him off of Brad Pitt in Troy. Annoying reporter for the Sharn Inquisitive? Just like Rita Skeeter from Harry Potter. Hell, I even based the main bad guy in my last campaign off of Cardinal Richelieu from The Three...

Death, from Conker's Bad Furr Day. What's not to love about a frustrated, three foot tall skeleton? Stupid squirrels...

I'd say that a paladin would be required to use spies, ambushes, and flanking to win a war. Paraphrasing Sun Tzu here, but the best general isn't the one who kills all his enemies, it's the one who wins without killing any. A paladin would treat enemies fairly, and respect requests for...

Ohh, I'm drooling already over Forge of War... One note though, the Shadowdale adventure lists "The Scouring of the Land" as the subtitle at the top, and "The Weave Unwinding" as the subtitle in the blurb. Which one is it?

Some great responses. Thanks guys. I think the main problem I have, is that I'm 14th level, and we're still doing "gopher quests". We're told to go here, fix the McGuffin, and return home. We're expected to do this for about 500 gp apiece, which I feel should be an insult to a character of...

I'm curious. What kinds of ways can a wizard/sorcerer use to increase his wealth? In the game I'm playing, I'm short on cash, and trying to think of ways to sell my spells for profit. I've tried loading up supplies from Sharn, and Teleporting to a dwarven town on the other side of the...

You have a lot of good points, but there was one I wanted to respond to specifically. The note about the rope trick is exactly the kind of situation I'm trying to prevent by changing the spell system. All too often, especially in low-level dungeon adventures, once the cleric or wizard is out...

I don't like the Crusader mechanic for prepared spells. After 2-3 rounds you have all your spells up, and it just seems kinda sucky to make someone wait. Also, the Crusader is a full BAB class, with good HP, and a lot of special abilities, so if they don't have the manuever they're looking...

Ok, I've added the revision, let me know what you think. I've reduced the spells known, but given the cleric a "Prayer Book" of basic spells. That way, he's not stuck into taking all heals, but he still doesn't know all the spells. Thanks. I'm expecting that once I get the basic feel down...

Some good responses, here. Thanks. I'll try to hit each point in turn. The DM I'm making this for pointed out the same thing. We're thinking about giving the cleric a certain number of "prayers" known automatically, plus a few spells. I'll see what I can come up with in the first revision...

Ok, I realize that the boards are swamped with new magic systems right now, but here it goes. I'm trying to change the D&D spell system to something closer to the Book of Nine Swords. I've got the cleric and the first 2 spell levels down, so if anyone can take a look and give me some advice...

Is there a spell or combo of spells that would allow a Sublime Chord to Magic Weapon all the party's weapons with one spell?
