A Storm of Swords, by George RR Martin. Man, and I thought things were getting bad during ACoK. The whole place is going to hell in an express elevator.

Lack of meta-plot, I thought, was kind of the point.

Splutter, cough WHAT THE SPORK? How was Miko not being completely self-righteous in #250? She DOESN'T KNOW about Roy pretending to be King of Nowhere, she was lecturing them and holding them responsible for the disaster for the reprehensible sin of refusing to sleep in the ditch. She was...

This is incomprehensible to me. She's pompous, overbearing, self-righteous and downright nasty. She treats them abominably, lecturing them at every opportunity, and if I was Roy in that situation I wouldn't have been holding Belkar back.

Visually? Some very cool ones are Victorian Englans, especially Victorian Horror (mmm, Victorian Age Vampire and Rippers...). Long dark mist alleyways, coats, canes and hats. From Hell would have to be a visual zenith for it. Visually I've always loved anything to do with Samurai, from...

As others have said, grab a bucket and cast Create Water into it. If they aren't Scrags, 3 rounds and the Troll's dead. Or grab your winter blanket. No regenerating a suffocated brain.

Orb of Fire is a lump of white phosphorus Orb of Cold is a ball of liquid nitrogen Orb of Acid is already conjuration, as acid is a substance by its very nature. The other three Orbs make no sense whatsoever though. You can't 'conjure' lightning, sound or force. And if you are chanelling...

Hail to the Tremere. All the powers of every other clan, but better!

Wall of Thorns Firstly, which bastard of a Druid came up with this beast of battlefield control spell? And was nasty enough to have it hold the enemy in place hard as all hades, but not give them a lick of cover? And how does Druidic spell research work anyway? Plus, its just a cool visual...

Damn, how could I forget Fallen? "Let me tell you about the time I almost died..."

The Sixth Sense. One of the greatest twists ever. Event Horizon. Not just another sci-fi film, and it succeeded in scaring me senseless. The Others. The Usual Suspects

Two words: Death Ward. And Undead and Constructs are common high level enemies. I'd rather the versatility of a Disintegrate spell, than a spell which has a common, and damn near vital spell as a surefire countermeasure against it. You misread the example's purpose. A spell doing that much...

You seem to be ignoring the fact that on that list, Finger of Death is inferior to disintegrate, its shorter range and only affects living targets. Ranged touch attacks are, 90% of the time, don't roll a one. Disintegrate is still a scary spell, now it fits better in the progression of...

No matter how many times I see this, my reaction is WTF? Where are they drawing this from? Have they looked at old adventures? And at what point is the Ye Olde Magic Shoppe mandated by the rules of 3.X? If they're referring to Item Creation, its in there for one reason: THAT STUFF'S GOTTA...

A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin. Only just started reading ASoIaF. Holy hell, can this man write. Is it normal to find yourself cheering for Daenerys though?

Yeah, because 2d6 per caster level with bodily destruction at 0 is crap. And as Merric pointed out, if you have ranged SoD at 6th, where do you go for 7th, 8th and 9th? With slower tiering, except against specific enemies, that Clerics SHOULD be good at smiting. WTF? Where are you pulling...

Emphasis added. This to me just screams that you're on a completely different conceptual wavelength to other people here. This sort of thing can work great in some games, but personally, the highlighted concept just makes me want to throw up. If it works for you and your games, more power to...

That one, I'd buy!

Gnome. She has more rounded ears for one and has grey hair, not white. And the big one, as Kirinke pointed out, is that she isn't dressed in the standard Drow female attire of leather BDSM gear.

Ahhh, this sounds like Escape from Tenh. The greater issue there is that you're willingly associating with a Cleric of Iuz to try and get out of there. I could see people making a case for the Paladin losing his powers for that, but as far as killing the scumbags when they reveal the fast one...
