    What NON-OBVIOUS stuff would you like to see in Revised?

    Well, actually you are both kind of right and both kind of wrong. As the move equivalent action, you could load the cross bow, taking an AoO. Then as your partial action, you could move 5' and fire. You could move 5', fire the loaded X-bow, then load for next round. You could not Move 5'...

    I'm thinking of playing a rogue

    Twin rogues are quite scarry, both sneak in and do some flanking sneak attacks. Evasion + High Dex + high enough level means "Fireball me if you want." We use this often, with a wand of Fireball or necklace thereof, the rogues can go toe-to-toe with the Slow-Nasty and not care if a fireball...

    Fantasy/D&D Films: What's next?

    With the understanding that the Studios are out to make money and not cater to the capricious whims of a small (albeit vocal) entertainment niche, I think that _if_ fantasy films are to be made, they will continue to generally be tripe. LOTR and HP _demanded_ quality because of the underlying...

    Fantasy/D&D Films: What's next?

    I think Narnia would be hard to pull off, simply because of the religious overtones. But hey, we can wash over that right. What i want to see is Dragonriders of Pern, but hey, we all need a dream.

    "A Song of Ice and Fire" in May issue of Dragon...

    I too wanted a full book, but I also wouldn't want d20 treatment until the Novels were done. I feel the same way about WoT. While authors need the freedom to mold their worlds as the story demands, the 'source books' often give rules that wont fit the next Novel that is out or provide plot...

    Gamers keeping Shabbat

    I wonder how many people were introduced to the less-than-orthadox world of D&D on a saturday or sunday when their parents thought they were being good little god-fearing students reading religious texts? Anyone hide their charachter sheet in a Hymnal? Maybe we could keep a pair of dice in our...

    Character Ascension, Morality, and Divinity (Was -- What makes someone Divine?)

    Re: What makes someone Divine? Well, I would say there is no 'divine' in that world; that the Gods are dead (ala Athas/Dark Sun). Alternatively, the ability to grant others the ability channel 'divine' energy (or positive/negative energy, or ethereal or...) might be a good definition so that...

    Well, as a Holder of a Degree in History, focusing on 2nd Temple Era Judaism, and a student of the Jesus Seminar, I greatly disagree with many of your "Facts," and recognizing that this is not the place for the discussion thereof, Let's get back to D&D. I remember a really fun AD&D game I once...

    The L/C/Hazy... that's good. I think that applies to d20 players too, at least in my group. We have the Min/maxers who do high level statistical analysis on what the best chances of one killing a certain creature may be while using different attack methods. Then there are those people who...

    Coming late to the thread, I didn’t think that I would have much to add... But someone's post (I apologize for not remembering whose) mentioned gaming on the Sabbath at Jewish Camp. Which incidentally is really how I was fully introduced into D&D and an experience I remember fondly. I went...

    Logic Questions

    Wrong, see above. Now had the question asked "how many total additional candles can be obtained from a starting stock of 1000?" the correct answer would be 111. Semantics are very important. Chess match

    Logic Questions

    My analysis: 100 Now, if you _burn_ those 100, you would get 10 more, and then by _burning_ the 10 you could get 1 more. The original question spicifically said how many could you get from burning 1000.

    For you lawyers and wannabe lawyers

    And law school tuition has outpaced starting sallaries by a factor of 10 to one as well. You want to pay my $100,000.00 in debt incurred to get a law degree? Not that this is on topic... so... ... Imag as a TM should not infringe on iMAC as a TM, especially since they are in seperate...
