    Arcane Stike (CW) Question

    That whole feat (while very cool) is very ambiguously written. But I'm going to have to agree with pawsplay. Unless your GM says otherwise, it's a melee attack. I wouldn't limit it to weapons though. I'd still allow unarmed and melee touch attacks to use the benefits of this feat.

    Anyone's metro-accessible apartment complex have a rentable club room? Mine doesn't, or I'd look into it.

    Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin Dead

    The article I read said she's treking through mountains in Tasmania. Noone has been able to contact her as of yet.

    TerpCon Fall 2006

    The first couple of Terpcons rocked, I'll agree. But there came a point when most of the original planners (and leaders of the Terrapin Gaming Club) left, and new blood came in. The fomer brass made a concentrated effort to make everyone feel welcome, and the new kind of just assumed that...

    Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin Dead

    His wife doesn't even know yet. I hope someone close to the family finds her and lets her know before she reads it on the news. His children are 8 and 2 1/2. Those poor kids.

    The making of Sephera

    Actually, having the garment taped like that would make it really easy to breast feed. (Garment tape doesn't hurt (normally)). You'd just have to pop the boob out and you'd be set. If you want to do something with a costume while you're on bedrest, find something with some embroidery. You...

    The making of Sephera

    Hey Sephera, Welcome to the boards. :) Your seamstress was right at quoting that second costume at about 1k, but there are several ways to cut costs and end up with something that looks nice. The things that you are going to have built are the bodice and the waist cincher. To me, the...

    Elves don't Dream

    Maybe that's why it takes them so long to "grow up." Humans can gain insights and mental resolutions through subconsious sleep, but elves are forced to do it consiously? Therefore they'd have to take extra time to consciously rationalize things that humans don't even have to consider? Maybe...

    GenCon Indy 2007, let's shake the male/female ratios--or not, they seem fine here ;)

    Wow. You havn't seen Dorkness Rising, but you're going to rag on it? Allow me to explain something. There is a gamer stereotype. Humor is often created based off of stereotypes. That is no reason to become offended, especially if you're assuming insult based off of secondary sources...

    GenCon Indy 2007, let's shake the male/female ratios--or not, they seem fine here ;)

    Why the need to segment women off from the rest of gamers? Women are gamers. Men are gamers. Do we really need to preface our involvement in the hobby with a gender? Does it make us extra special? I guess I don't understand what you're looking for when you asked "what do female gamers want...

    So Mad Can't See (Update 09/10; Victory!)

    My aunt's cat, Figaro, had a similar situation, except that it resulted in the amputation of his rear left leg. Cats are pretty amazing creatures, for the amount of sheer abuse they can survive. That same cat also learned to use and flush the toilet.

    combining skills into Stealth a good thing?

    But if you only combine Move Silently and Hide, then you're giving your PCs twice as much of a chance to detect the NPCs. Then, they only have to make either a spot or listen check to beat your one skill. And if you roll crappily, your npc is screwed. Because the 4 skills are so integrally...

    combining skills into Stealth a good thing?

    I've never run into this. In our games, Knowledge Arcana is used to learn about non-natural monsters, and to know general things about magic itself. Spellcraft is for figuring out what that evil NPC over there is casting at you. That being said, I've never really taken spellcraft because it...

    combining skills into Stealth a good thing?

    To be fair, I take my third suggestion. I like it when players have and use skills, and I don't think it's a game maker/breaker. After all, bad guys have skills too. :]

    Energy damage on Trip touch attack?

    I agree with this, except for the raping the leg part. That's just wrong. :p

    Foxes?

    If you do use the Small Dog from the MM, I'd increase its base land speed by 10 feet. In general (I believe) foxes are faster than most small dogs.

    combining skills into Stealth a good thing?

    And since this thread is about skill combinations, I'll add one to see what people think: Our group combined Open Lock and Disable Device into one skill (because what is opening a lock but "disabling" the locking function).
