    Glen Burnie Md. Looking for a Player

    I'm interested, but I'd like to tell you my caveats before you accept. I'm a rowing coach, and all summer I'm going to be teaching a learn-to-row class from 9 to 12 on the Anacostia river. I googled the directions to Glen Burnie, and it estimates a 45min drive time. I don't expect traffic on...

    Order of the Stick, #550

    4th Edition will season our broken corpses with nutmeg? Or will it bathe itself with our blood, lavender gel and a loofa? Gosh, I don't want either of those.

    Fixed that for you. ;)

    Is this offensive?

    I know the women don't compete on the rings; do they ever practice it? Because that iron cross looks kinda STR oriented...

    Is this offensive?

    *shrug* As a player whose characters are generally designed to outsmart an opponent, and a player whose girlfriend has often told him that she enjoys manipulating me to do things she wants done, I'd have to say that hitting things with sticks until it stops moving gets dull after a while...

    Is this offensive?

    So which one would that be? Is there an example? ... Bueller? When I put my novice male rowers up against lightweight women that have been rowing for 3 years, the same thing happens. But then maybe when I look at years of strength and technique training go up against absolute raw inexperience...

    Is this offensive?

    Umbran, I suppose I've seen a preponderance of evidence that suggests to me that men and women have different capabilities, physically and otherwise; combine that with a habit of engaging in argument and you'll get what I hope wasn't too abrasive a post. At the very least we can agree that...

    Is this offensive?

    Whole body exercise. Much like arguing on the internet. Producing a level playing field for both men and women. Which will strip the alleged cultural bias from the results by polling only people who attempt to make themselves as strong as possible. But seriously: "artificial task"? Employing...

    Is this offensive?

    What physical activities show a clear advantage to a woman's body structure? In other words, in which physical competitions will women have a clear and decided advantage over men such that university female competitors can compete with elite male competitors? If the rowing example is merely a...

    Is this offensive?

    It's not that WotC lacks the imagination, it's that they're aware enough not to touch the gender issue with your 10-foot pole. Else they'd get proverbially lynched. As a rowing coach I can weigh in on this with stuff from my sport. World champion women rowers possess builds that would squish...

    Is this offensive?

    I can see what you're trying to model with all of that, and it would be nice if you wanted to slant the field by giving males the edge in physical combat and women the edge in Sorcerous and Divine magic. Frankly it will be a detriment to your game because of the earful you'll get from people...

    Character development (a very long post)

    They may not always break the game, but there is the risk, and I don't see that they really add anything much: little benefit for a potentially horrifying risk.

    A different shatter question

    It tells the weight of weapons, armor, goods, etc in the equipment section of the PHB.

    Character development (a very long post)

    If this is in the game, please let the DM know that I have a wonderful bridge at a reasonable price for sale. ;)

    OotS 547!

    Though the results will certainly differ, this is the confrontation we've just seen; Redcloak just doesn't know it yet.

    Spells ruling: Shatter

    "So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing have purpose?" 'Ol Jubal Early would ask if magic imbues the thing with a purpose beyond the mere benefits of the magic. And then he would go for a swim in the black. ;)
