He's just good at "buckling swash." He's still bad at being a bard.

Jack Vance uses the term in this meaning IIRC. There are several halflings in Lyonesse, and they're all what D&D would call half-fey.

Uh. He just wanted the punishment to actually be applied. Roy didn't ask for the possibility to confer with Belkar in private. He could have done so, and I'm sure Hinjo would have let him. Roy just suffers from Big Mouth Syndrome, just like when he caused the nobles to desert Hinjo. He may...

And here you go, you keep the double standard. And it's appropriate for a player race. Who decides if something is appropriate? Is it only a mechanical issue? In the Eberron campaign I co-DM, we banned Kalashtars. Not out of mechanical reasons, but because we felt they were too rare and too...

No, a bard is a "gimp." I think being able to perform some real war magic (read: flashy evocations) is necessary to be a proper F/M. Bards are too subtle. In fact, they're neither fighters nor mages. I guess it could make them "tvfu" -- the rot13 of "gish", a moniker that would be even more...

I love how, for what is maybe the first time*, an NPC reacts to what he party members tell each others carelessly. (* Unless you count bardic song as conversation.)

I played a Barbistocrat once; but no other gestalt character.

Oh? I thought it was designed that way because fantasy names are always cooler when they're invariable (drow, phaerimm, etc.).

"Swordsage" in particular is terrible. It always make me think of sausages. C'm'on! "Hear the voice of the Bard" -- classic literature! Don't people read Blake in high school? That's a bit too fast, since the first paladins had no connections to that hill at all. The hill gave its name to the...

This is one of the first time I've seen it here. While I know the Githyanki origins of that word, I think most of the kiddies over at WotC use it because it's part of their own "1337 5p33k", kinda like "buffing" "rezzing" "spawning" and so on. It both makes it shorter for the in-crowd, and...

Belkar completely stole the show. How could she not want it? It's so big and wide and beautiful; and it's just hanging out there on the docks, waving gently in the morning breeze... I don't know -- there's an orc and a fiend, after all.

Are you talking about the old first-person-shooters, or something else? I'm unfamiliar with the acronym "FFG" for computer games, and they're not exactly recent, so I'm not sure. If you're talking about this Descent versus this Doom, then I'd vote Descent. 3D mazes for the win.

I have seen many threads killed with the Last Word of "*plunk*"

It's in the long tradition of Miko's "the proper term is smite evil" comment. Paladins can't detect sarcasm, double-meanings, or any other sort of disguised language.

A tiger-rock makes for a better story: Whoa-ho! Are you listening? Watch me beat my drum and tell no lies; may hard fruit from this tibrol tree fall upon my head if I lie (I will not!)! Come, sit! Or dance with your backsides, for I am beating my drum! I tell you the tale of Perrif, the...

I'd guess like K'lan, with K'l as "cle" in "miracle" -- a slight schwa, or a voice L, not an actual vowel.

I've ended ruling out half-elves and half-orcs. Now, celestial, fiends, dragons, fey, and sphinxes, the biggest magical players; yeah, they can have mixed offsprings. But it's seldom actual offsprings. A half-dragon may be the child of a couple of mortals who have been blessed by a powerful...

Look more like a Pokémon to me. It's a cute li'l monster that can speak, but whose vocabulary is limited to its own name -- a pokémon.

I like the dwarf paladin fleeing the rust monster. :lol:

The leader hasn't said anything, it's Roy. And Hinjo isn't refusing to talk about the McGuffin, he just said it wasn't that simple; it's the nobles that didn't ask anything about the McGuffin.
