    Archer Build

    I'd switch Weapon Focus and Precise Shot if the game starts at 1st level. The extra +1 is great when the other side is still closing, but it's mostly negated when your frontliners have engaged and you're soaking the -4 penalty for shooting into the melee.

    Odd Numbered Skill points?

    It's worth noting that the Open Minded feat in the XPH gives 5 skill points each time you take it. The flavor feels psionic to me, but it's a [General] feat.

    Horray for Pip Boy! Good Fallout 3 news (for once)

    This is great news, but I worry about the fact that it might not be Van Buren. They have the franchise rights, but did they manage to get the rights to the nearly completed Van Buren? Don't get me wrong, Bethesda is a great developer and all but do they have the talents of some of the people...

    rangers favored enemy?

    They lack the narrower focus of the ranger. Fighters train simply to be good at hacking things up. Ranger training would be that, but with a specific focus on their favored enemy. This focus applies not only in the martial sense, but possibly a mental or psychological sense as well. Think of...

    trolls and subdual damage

    You can always just drown or suffocate the things. Regeneration doesn't stop things like lack of air. Just drop it into your bag of holding or ditch it in a lake.

    What is your alignment?

    I'd say it's a mix of personal prejudice genuine desire to be Good. Most of us really do want to be called Good, but how many can compare themselves to the likes of Ghandi or Martin Luther King? I'm not saying that "you must be this holy" to be called Good, but rather that you can be Neutral...

    what alignment is this?

    That's the point though. _You_ might not believe in altruism, but that guy over there is all for self sacrifice. He's OK with dying so the others can chow down on him so they won't starve. Because of that he's gets to wear the Good alignment cap on his head. If you're simply motivated by...

    Redemption v. Vengence: A Paladin's Question

    Whoa! Vader was a LG paladin. He was just using manifesting his Smite Evil through his force choke. :) All kidding aside. I'd agree with Torm. Redeem him if you can, but be prepared to go smiting if it's not possible. Spending a few years trying to redeem the supreme evil while he...

    Somebody please explain the popularity of Army of Darkness

    Don't forget that while Ash is great at thinking on his feet, he's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. "Klaatu Barada N...*mumble*" anyone? He might be unlikeable because he acts like a jerk, but that's the point. You don't empathize with Ash by wanting him to "win" per se, but by...
