By penetration I am not speaking of effective kill power but rather that an arrow can pierce that thickness. With regard to plate armour, it was generally much thinner than 3/4 inch but it's ability to withstand an arrow attack was mostly due to deflection. the breastplate was generally curved...

I once had an english professor who made a crossbow from the leaf spring of a 1/2 ton pick up truck. He was able to fire a pointed steel shaft through an engine block. Granted, the Xbow was mounted on a stand, was totally immobile, and took about an hour to nock, but it could theoretically...

Hmmm... Does this mean that there are now 102 uses for a dead cat?

You goat faced son of a leprous troll! (to a dwarf) Your mother had pointy ears! My blade hungers for your gizzard. well thats my contribution to the cause....

Hmmm.... Chaotic good Dwarven ranger/druid Whoda thunk it?

It appears to me that DnD has fallen into what I call the "Palladium power trap". It seems that whenever a new supplement comes out, whether it's by WotC or one of the other OGL publishers, the power level increases. I'm not speaking of those things designed for high level gaming, but rather...

How exactly do you maintain his freshness?

All Good Things.....

Hey! that was a misleading link! there wasn't anyone naked under there! :lol:

Again, I hate to be the alarmist here, but there is one thing you must take extra care to protect yourself from. There is a possibility that you may get hit with an assault, or sexual misconduct charge. It is a common tactic in divorce proceedings to accuse one party of abuse in order to gain...

Lawyer up now. The deck is already stacked against you. You need to prepare yourself for a possibly nasty fight. There is a strong possibility that if she is in a "cult", she is going to have access to some very strong allies both financially and legally. You need to set up your own sole...

I was roughly 15 and my friend Steve and I were playing with model rockets. We took a fairly tame rocket ( one that used C sized engines) and "modified" it so that it was a little more powered. We essentially taped 4 "D" booster engines to the outside of the rocket chassis, set them on a delayed...

Gah! Ketchup! what kind of heathen would desecrate a piece of meat with Ketchup??!? Even a bad steak is better plain than slathered in the evil red sauce. now that that is outr of my system, I prefer to let my steak stew over night in a homemade marinade. After that they require nothing else...

It's bad luck to set a rocking chair to rocking when it's empty.

Well I made it to Surrey! After 9 hours on a plane I finally stepped off into another world. A world where food is cheaper, housing is about the same, gas is pricier, and the sun won't go away. I have been here for a total of 3 days and I love it. I already have some lines on work though I'm...

In a little under 4 days I shall be in Vancouver. I doubt that I will have access to the internet until I get there, so I will be a little behind on my reading. Wish me luck and when next You see me here, I'll be on the other side of Canada.

Gah ZEEEE BO!

As a person who, with the exception of my last job, worked almost exclusively nights, I feel your pain. I would have to say the worst Daytime experience I had was after working a 9-9 night shift, coming home and getting to bed just in time for the pile driver across the street to start pounding...

not even for the kittens? :)

well, sort of but not entirely. I had an idea of a defensive, frontline, finesse fighter. Basically, the focus is on deflecting attacks, with a chance of turning the attack against the attacker. It's all about momentum and the redirection of it. The character still fights but in a different way...
