    Best Lightsaber fight in the Star Wars movies?[SPOILERS for episode 3]

    For sheer drama and watching things become more and more desperate, Luke vs Vader in ROTJ. Their peverse game of cat and mouse around the stairs still impresses me, hence it gets my vote. Obi-Wan vs Anakin in ROTS is great, it just gets more and more desperate and emotionally intense as it...

    Defining a decade with a movie: 1980s

    The Breakfast Club, Wall Street, St Elmo's Fire.

    For Nail - The Psion

    Psions DO NOT have more flexibility than a Sorc, they're the grand daddies of mono-tasking. A Kineticist can blow stuff up with horrendous efficiency. And that's about it really. An Egoist can buff like crazy. On themselves only. Astral Construct, while powerful, is a Shaper only power, so...

    Defining a decade with a movie: 1990s

    Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, Silence of the Lambs, The Usual Suspects, Se7en.

    I want to set people on fire.

    OK, that didn't come out right. I think its a must for Sorcs, since it effectively doubles their options. Lightning and Acid are good choices. And you're on the VTF...ouch. If even half of what I've heard about their metaregionals is true, then I feel for you. I'm down in Perrenland in...

    Whatever happened to Shifters?

    Its now strictly Druid only, and doesn't ever get supernatural abilities of the form you assume IIRC. It can't go undead, construct or (for some weird reason) Magical Beast, but can go Aberration (WTF!?). Not much else changed.

    Defeat The Vile 5' Step

    Oops, there's a wall behind me. Or maybe we're in difficult terrain and I can't make the 5 ft step. I'm infinitely more vulnerable to sundering, or Warp Wood. Those dungeon corridors become a real PITA for the reach monkey too. Corners can really ruin a reachers day. And I have an inferior...

    Warshaper's Morphic Weapons ability?

    As written, a Warshaper that already had the Shapechanger subtype can wake up in the morning and create 5,000,000,000,000 mouths for bite attacks if they wish. In play, I think a lot is let to GM interpretation.

    Which settings are worth looting?

    Arcanis, Arcanis, Arcanis, bit of Eberron, little bit of FR, and Arcanis. Good to see some other enlightened persons here who have voted for Arcanis, and Gothmog, you're damned right.

    Summon Monster, Your favorites?

    Fiendish Dire Ape, or packs of Dire Weasels.

    Karmic Strike & Rapid Strike

    Uh oh...what is his character, because this sounds like components of the King of Smack build from the WotC optimisation board. For the record, Rapidstrike is a hideously abusable monstrous feat from the Draconomicon.

    D&D 4E 4E in 2008? Fact or Fiction?

    I know that there's a lot of people who'd say the same thing about the current edition and the Complete X line of books. Nevermind the racial books.

    May and December...how young is too young?

    Similar story here. I remember watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and thinking that Emma Watson was mind-crushingly cute. Few years on and its clear that she's going to be absolutely stunning. Normal mentally healthy people don't act on those thoughts though.

    Blink vs. Dispel Magic

    The abjuration effect extends into the Ethereal plane, but the targeting effect doesn't? What the spork? Man, this Blink spell is hell. There's another solution, he can area dispel. Then he doesn't have to worry about the miss chance.

    ROUND 19 is over.... kind of

    DIE WEAPON FINESSE! I love the idea, but those who need it can't have it because of that inane prerequisite. GO AWAY AND COME BACK WHEN YOU'RE USEFUL!

    Druid with emphasis on Wildshape

    I'm with Brother MacLaren here, using Wild Shape or magic items to qualify for feats throws Druids into yet another strata of power. And I too play a Druid, and am aware of just how insane they can be. Oh, and Tetsubo, I'm not disagreeing with you, I was playing devil's advocate. I find it...

    good sword and sorcery

    Trollslayer is the first, but is a collection of disconnected shorter stories. Skavenslayer gets some sort of storyline going, and is also laugh out loud funny at many points.

    Round 18 is OVER

    Die Weapon Finesse DIE! Go away, and don't come back till you're either a weapon function or don't have an inane +1 BAB requirement!

    Druid with emphasis on Wildshape

    Undead or Constructs, like what the 3.0 one gave? My guess is that they didn't want to give access to half the MM, which Magical Beast would.

    Arcanis Fans -- You May Now Be Jealous

    I'm guessing the "other" book is Magic of Arcanis? Origins due date...sweet, the sooner I can get that book and find out what those damn extra feats that HCs of Sarish have access to are, the better.
