Receipt forwarded to Piratecat. Spider

Great list! It's cool how close your list is to the one I was working on: Mithral Full Plate of Speed (26500) +1 Full Plate of Barding of Invulnerability (16000) +1 Holy Scythe of Disruption (50000) Cloak of Charisma +6 (36000) Periapt of Wisdom +4 (16000) Gauntlets of Strength +4 (16000) Boots...

The character is a 15th level paladin who will be joining our game very soon. Here's a little background: Sharaf was a simple, honorable farmer who held to the ancient ways of a long-missing god. Until today. Today, that god showed up at his house and asked him to be his new avatar in the...

What exactly constitutes abuse? I would suggest that any effect that can be repurposed to do something unintended (or world-changing) would fall into this category. I would actually argue that healing magic would not. Create Water could flood a nation, Animate Dead could raise an army...

Fatbeards! Fatbeards! Fatbeards! Nope. Yep. In much the same way I admit to using email, or eating an occasional icecream cone. Spider

I've decided that I love playing low Wis characters. They're the ones who charge into battle, poke at gemstone eyes on demon statues, and trigger traps. They're great for moving the game along. He sounds charming, impulsive, and brilliant. Kinda like Indiana Jones. Spider

I guessed it quickly, but wasn't sure until I checked the answer. That's bad--the players should know immediately when they hit the right answer. I don't know what the map looks like, but if it were "Lion Falls" or a waterfall on the "Grizzly River" it would be better. If you don't mind my...

Would it be possible to sticky this thread, and have a mod post weekly updates? I think that would eliminate a lot of the "are they done yet?!" posts. Spider

Ironically, this was the start of one of the worst con games I've ever been in. Spider

As always, I highly recommend http://www.newegg.com. They're fast, inexpensive, and have amazing service. Spider

I played a Rog1/Slk4 recently, based on this version of the Soulknife: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=310984 It was a lot of fun. The versatility of being able to put special powers on your weapon very early on really made the class shine, IMHO. I've attached a copy of the...

I was subjected to exactly this trap by Pielorinho many years ago. Since the Magic Mouth couldn't be used to activate the device, it instead asked us a riddle. The answer to the riddle was "poor," which sounds just like the activation command "pour". You should have see our faces when we all...

Uninstall Quicktime, reboot, and install Quicktime Alternative. It's just like Quicktime, except it doesn't have all the crap Apple tries to force you into. Spider

Wow, that's an excellent description of NAT, RI. Very well said. I can only add a generic disclaimer about viruses and the like. While you ran some program to let the tech in this time, a virus could do the same thing. Most exploits these days are designed to trick you (or your computer)...

I just recently got a job as the computer consultant for the library at my alma mater. Spider

The only way I know of doing this is to: 1) Make sure the printer is disconnected from the computer or network. 2) Make sure neither computer is sharing the printer. 3) Shut both computers off. 4) Turn both computers on. One of your computers is acting as the browser master, and I suspect...

I have a couple questions about the Leadership feat: 1) Should the cohort have wealth as per a PC, or as an NPC? 2) Should taking the Item Familiar feat give you a -2 to your leadership score, as though the PC "Has a familiar, special mount, or animal companion"? Thanks, Spider

What OS are you running? Why do you need to remove these icons? Are you on a network with other computers? Are you the network administrator, or is someone else in charge of your network? Spider

Is this your thread? Spider

Somebody's got to say it: "Dude, imagination is totally broken!" :D Actually, that's not far off. It seems to me that earlier editions of the game didn't have such a focus on "game balance". I could be wrong on this, but I think that's one of the biggest philosophical changes that came with...
