Perhaps the beam of magical energy moves fairly slowly, while he doesn't actually dodge the arrow, but instead it lodges harmlessly in his shield.

While the guards are coming, the warlock moves back into the shadows, no?

It's obvious; the Russian DM was bribed. Their medals must be revoked and they're *not* getting their pictures on the Wheaties box.

I don't see anything in the Charming Kiss that requires the charmed PC stay next to the succubus nor keep him from aiding his allies or attacking her allies.

Yeah, it really sounds like we're dealing with 10 year olds here.

Not all of them. Dick Cheney shot an old man in the face with a shotgun and the old guy is apparently fine and dandy.

Player says, "d&d is all about combat". DM response, "Okay, you draw your sword, what do the rest of you want to do?"

Given that a first level creature has ~30 hit points, you'd need ten rounds to kill it with cleave. Or you could hit the creature for ~8 damage and then use cleave to kill the minion standing next to it. It really doesn't feel broken.

For April 1st, they should've made it a newspost that "your mom" was a power source.

Now, George Lucas may have become a crazy jackass and he may have ruined Star Wars, but he isn't quite in control of the world. America may be a worse place because he's in it, but he's not about to destroy a city (I hope).

I doubt brigandage in the empire was ever sever enough to threaten the existence of a village, though.

Yes they did, but the Roman Empire doesn't qualify as points of light. The core of the empire, until its later years of course, was nearly free of violence. Rome practiced a system of hegemony to protect itself. In a very simple sense, there were three circles. The innermost circle was the...

Guns = not medieval sword and sorcery = nope. Replace the gun with a bow and make the character an elf and maybe you've got something.

Bangaa and Viera are XII, Ronso and Al Bhed are X, I believe Nu Mou first showed up in Tactics, and **** moogles. Right in the ear.

The race issues in the Darfur region of Sudan are mostly an excuse. The real issue is over the use of the land. One group is nomadic herdsmen, the other is farmers. There's certainly racial genocide there, but the base issue isn't race, it's livelihood in a region that can't support both...

Oooo, yeah, Kurosawa was ripped off many times by makers of westerns. When he first saw Per un Pugno di Dollari (Fistful of Dollars in the US), Kurosawa wrote to Director Sergio Leone and said, ""It is a very fine film, but it is my film." It was lifted from Yojimbo almost scene for scene.

Ghengiz Cohen (leader of the silver horde) knew that you don't kill merchants. If you kill merchants, then you can't rob them again. Also, sense many monsters will be less organized/live mostly on hunted meat their populations won't be as dense as a human farming community. In a fight...

But is the fighter still easier to play than other classes? A first level fighter's no longer just the hack'n'slash machine.

Try reading Terry Pratchett's Night Watch some time, there's a brief period wherein the main character ponders the relationship of the city to the surrounding countryside that is illuminating. Plus, it's a really good book.

They'd be poor by modern standards, but they'd have to be almost entirely self-sufficient. A farm might be easier to run with a good iron plough and horse shoes, but you don't have to have them. A sharpened stick will work as a plough.
