    Is it ok to hate cats and still be a gamer?

    I was a part time postman during my first years at college. Hence I'll take cats over dogs any time. Even the most vicious evil humongous cat will still run from a human saying "boo!". They might hiss at you and try to claw you (when you get too close to them), but they will flee when...

    Which Is The Best Spontaneous Divine Casting Class?

    ditto. It doesn't have all kinds of flavour baggage, like the favoured soul.

    Have you ever seen a wizard not maxed out?

    It is also important for casting spells from scrolls, which in turn means that by keeping the rule in place that there is at least a reasonable difficulty for rogues with use magic device to cast spells in that way. And I assume that if you roll an 18 and a 16, some might prefer to put the 18...

    How Do You Explain Spontaneous Spellcasters In Your Campaign?

    I only have wizards as prepared spellcasters. The rest are all spontaneous as per the Unearted Arcana rules. So the question and explanation become different: "Why do wizards cast their spells after preparing them first?" "Because they learned their magic through formulas and ritual".

    How Much of a Railroader Are You?

    "I RR all the time. It's the only way to get the players doing what they're supposed to." isnt' quite right. It's more like: ""I RR all the time. It's the only way to get the players doing anything other than staring at me slackjawed"

    Do you fold multiple skills into one?

    Although I am tempted to do so, I haven't found the "folding" compelling enough for me to expand my house rule document even further. I am of the opinion that it would be nice if 4e streamlined the skills in such a way however. Rav

    Drinking and gaming?

    Pretty much always. Most of us drink beer (Grolsch mostly), but one of us has recently made the switch to vodka/apple juice. He thinks it is less fattening.

    What is your icon?

    Just a Gnome found on the web and an hour or so of photoshopping. Funny thing is, I dislike both Gnomes and the Planescape campaign setting, but it was the easiest DM screen I found on the web to photoshop into four panels :)

    D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

    Eventually my backlog of 3e Dungeon adventures I want to run will diminish to the point that I will switch. This will probably be about two years after it is released. With luck, that will mean printings with errata included.

    Need Feat Suggestions for 7th Monk/8th Ninja

    The Eberron options are: Whirling steel strike: Longsword Serpent Strike: Longspear Double Steel strike: Two bladed sword. All require weapon focus in the weapon in question, proficiency in the weapon (duh) and flurry of blows as a class feature.

    If you could be only one level...which would it be?

    7th. Fighter types get their 2nd attack, but non fighter types do not, having to rely more on spells or tumbling into position to get their sneak attacks.

    Only one demi-human race: which one?

    I voted other: orcs. It reminds me of Warcraft 1, and the atmosphere of just the humans vs. the orcs could work.

    Gamestores in Europe

    Adventures Gate had plenty of Troglodyte Barbarians, and they'll do just fine. Shipping was under 2 GBP, and I picked up several other miniatures. Thanks everyone!
