Apron, alright (from French naperon, which isn't an apron but a napkin by the way), but orange is less sure. Dictionaries say the name was influenced by the name of Orange, a French city. That said, the Sanskrit root is narangah, naranj in Arabic, then Melarancio in Italian (prefixed with mela...

"No thread specified."

Now that's interesting. Do you know of any other word derived from the same root? If it comes from Latin, that's very probable indeed. If it's Germanic, I don't know.

Well, you see... ... Oh, bummer. Anyway, I suppose they were introduced first to make fights more random and less predictable. Also, the idea of "lucky shots" and "fell swoops" is pretty common in literature, but there aren't many ways to make them possible in an RPG: if they're restricted...

I already give them a number of bonus cantrips per day equal to their caster level (so that a level 20 wizard can cast 24 cantrips in a day). Far from unlimited, but at least it makes it so that accomplished wizards can afford to toss read magic and prestidigitation around willy-nilly, making...

It heavily depend on the region and the time. Oh, and on what you are. The high elves who rule the rapidly-declining-but-still-largest empire are extremely callous in their treatment of non-elven serfs (or game, as they call them). In the north-eastern part of the world, you can become enslaved...

Yeah 'cause they're in the SRD.

Reminds me of the "fat lutes" hidden here and there in Morrowind. :)

:lol:

It's a concept they developed in Races of Eberron. As long as the spell is prepared, its magical presence in your mind gives you a small effect. For example, aspect of the werebeast is especially beneficial to shifter spellcasters, because as long as they keep the spell prepared, the duration of...

And [Mindset] spells. I really regret they haven't made more of them; I love that concept and, if I had the time and the energy for that, I'd convert most spells to [Mindset] spells...

What Jasin said. Truly Vancian magic requires creative spell usage. A Vancian spell has several possible effects, depending on how it's used. D&D magic, however, has moved toward an MMORPG-type of magic, obsessed by balance and restricting creativity (i.e., the move away from "guideline" to...

Where does that word comes from? I'd say I'd pronounce it "Tser" but that wouldn't be very helpful. Most people speaking English as their mothertongue have trouble pronouncing words that start with a hard consounant followed by a soft one (e.g., knowledge is "nowledge" and psychology is...

Exactly, and I'm not saying that just 'cause it's a paraphrase of what I've posted on the first page already. :p For reference: Yrhw, N'u nw rdjy mnck vdg. Elan, I'm in love with you. Yrhw, N'u nw rdjy mnck vdg. Lduzrycyrv nw rdjy. Rdjy, rdjy, rdjy, rdjy! Elan, I'm in love with you...

No, she has three arrows left in the quiver. A standard D&D quiver contains twenty arrows. She fired sixteen (you can count 'em) and lost one (when she's tripped). Three remain. It's of hobgoblins that she's fresh out. :p

Except Roy. His dramatic fight has been ruined by an anticlimactic opponent ("oh yeah, I remember now, you're that guy that got upset because I forgot... err, something.") and then he was pwned like a newb. Couldn't even triumph over a booty call talisman, to say nothing of a lich.

Speculations started with her attempt at saying "I'm not exactly what you'd call..." and people filling in the blank with all sorts of stuff. It was thought "what you'd call human" was the least implausible of the suggestions.

She could have been two levels higher than V from the start anyway. There's a reason she's second in command (other than the joke about not stealing from them in their sleep in exchange).

The Sopranos.

Try to get him Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea, the vintage cartoon from which the two robot pangolins Aloïsius posted come from. :cool:
