    My gnomes are more gnomish than your gnomes!

    I'm not sure of the advantage - I think most learned character types still only take 1 craft, profession or knowledge and max it out. That bonus helps less the more focused you are. Still I think your gnome is great. Nice flavor and very distinctive. Mechanics are good; it's just that maybe...

    My gnomes are more gnomish than your gnomes!

    Seems a bit weak compared to the standard gnome. Basically gains: * +2 to all Craft OR Knowledge OR Profession. * +1 AC vs 2 sizes larger. and loses: * +2 racial bonus on saving throws against illusions. * Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against illusion spells cast by...

    Are we talking about the same Hollywood?

    Finally saw THe Last Samurai

    The ninjas were bad. Let's throw in an evil ninja horde to pit against the good samurai! The entire movie was a pretty contrived Hollywoodization of Meiji Japan, but that scene was the most blatant. I enjoyed the movie in its context, but still that scene made me cringe.

    Andromeda series 5

    It's not exactly reset, as the number of universes they are dealing with are finite (seven, I think). They are trying to save one, some or all of those universes from being devoured by "the abyss." But there is a limit to the reset. Don't take this as any sort of justification for the quality...

    You know something?

    I've had a bad experience with pirates in the past... This day always brings back painful memories. Oh well, a single tear and several glasses of whiskey will do the trick.

    Are gamers really that pathetic?

    I respect you. Not because of your points (I've no opinion on this entire subject), but because of the way you handle criticism.

    Order of the bow initiate

    Interesting class... It does seem more flavory compared to the OotBI incarnations.

    Favorite Beer?

    Beamish, yes! It's pretty damn hard to find in Ohio, however.

    Ideas on portraying laws as useful and benefical to PCs

    I never thought about this before. This is a very cool idea.

    Non-gaming Gamers

    Races

    I like these, they have a lot of flavor. A couple points: Shivak - Seems like a pretty solid LA+0 race, but -8 diplomacy/sense motive at will seems big. What about allowing a Wil save, reducing the size of the penalty, or limiting its uses per day? Varmeck - Shouldn't these guys have an LA...

    Order of the bow initiate

    I completely agree with MichaelH. It is technically wrong, but go with the house rule.

    A real two-bladed sword!

    You should put the rude bastard back in. The only person speaking in this thread with any lack of civility is you. I respect that you are very knowledgeable, and I understand that many are not, but this doesn't give you a free license to behave poorly. Re: Your definition of "martial art" -...

    A real two-bladed sword!

    Gyrspike... Picture, if you will, a one-handed sword, but with a spiked-ball-and-chain hanging off the end of the hilt. Nice, eh?

    A real two-bladed sword!

    Your second "Darwin Awards" jab was posted as a reply to the Kwan Do picture. Buddy, there isn't anything "exactly wrong" with emphasis on demonstrations on EMA. The last time I checked, combat effective or not, fighting with swords and spears has way past its prime, whether we're talking...

    A real two-bladed sword!

    Now you're just being obnoxious. There is such a thing as Eastern Martial Arts. (Funny, I never thought I'd have to say that, but sometimes WMA people... There is such a thing as too far.) Kwan Do is used at least as some sort of demonstration weapon in Wu Shu and other Asian arts. That in and...
