Energy Drain? Heya: Just a real quick question: How does Energy Drain work if the Sundering prevents all external planar access? I'd think the Negative and Positive Materal Planes (um, assuming those still exist in 3E) would be barred, also. Thanks, Dreeble

Cool Heya: Star Wars LEGOS are always cool. I'm tempted to get that Star Destroyer but there's a distinct lack of room at my place. Instead, I've gotten several of the little "mini-dioramas". For example, I have the little "Luke Gets Escorted By A Storm Trooper And An Imperial To Meet With...

Dual Boot Heya: I have two PCs (evidence of my former EQ addiction, heh) and my backup PC, a Win98 system, plays MoM perfectly. My suggestion would be to add a Win98 dualboot partition to your PC so that you can play MoM (and other older cool games). Take care, Dreeble

On Time Heya: SoE is good at getting the expansions out on time, just not so good at having the expansions actually "done" when released. I don't currently play EQ (quit at the beginning of Luclin), but from what former guildmates have said and some websites, the "endgame" zone for Planes of...

Crunchy? Heya: Assuming the BoEF will actually eventually come out, I wonder how successful it'll be? I mean, if I want to buy porn, er, I mean erotica, then I'll just go and buy some. If I want a useful gaming product, it doesn't really sound like this will be one. Maybe for fights...

West Heya: I think neither CombatWombat nor I are familiar with the east county, so I'll just add another potential west county place: The Comic Gallery on Balboa & Genesee. ;) Take care, Dreeble

Belief Heya: The halfling believes it's okay to steal from groupmates (it's a foible). Would it be okay if the dwarf had as a foible "Believes that theft is worse than injury and aggression."? Maybe it is a cultural thing. In my culture, property rights are way important. You can get...

Field Plate? Heya: Wasn't there Field Plate Armor and Full Plate Armor that "sorta" was like damage reduction? Actually closer to Stoneskin, I suppose, since I think it ran out and ruined the armor or something. I think they acted like 1/- and 3/- or similar. Take care, Dreeble

PoR2 and NWN Heya: My experience with PoR2 has been that 5' steps _are_ in the game. This can be observed by the fact that sometimes a PC can't attack a monster. Move a smidge up and now that PC can full attack the monster. Etc. 100% agree on the "attack mages with impunity." I really...

Roleplaying: two-way street Heya: It's important that one person's roleplaying doesn't subjugate everybody else's. It's all well and good somebody wants to roleplaying an annoying character (and depending on the personalities of the other party members, especially a _dwarf_, being stolen...

Leadership Heya: With your high charisma (assuming I understand the feat correctly), your 9th lvl feat should've been Leadership; the cohort would be 9th level, too, right? Make the cohort and play the cohort as your "main" character. Do you think your DM might let you rechoose your 9th lvl...

Confused Heya: "SoU is implementing Spring Attack, but my understanding of their implementation is that you never take an AoO from anyone for moving..." This confuses me. Do you mean that with Spring Attack a character will never suffer from movement-based AoOs again (in PnP I think it's...

End of chain feats Heya: Very cool they got Great Cleave, Spring Attack, and Whirlwind Attack in there. One of the few things I dislike about Neverwinter Nights is the lack of "high" level feats. Of course, the fact NWN uses realtime combat explains a lot of this. On the other hand...

Last attack? Heya: "3. I will only allow the last attack to be held this way. So if you get three attacks per round then you can only ready the last attack." The last iterative attack is the _least_ valuable attack, I mean, it's not likely to hit anyway if used normally, right? Giving that...

NWN Heya: With the suggestions here I went and downloaded the Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury mods for Neverwinter Nights. _Tons_ of fun, both. The only thing I knew about those two adventures beforehand was from the snippets I've picked up here in the General forum (Sunless Citadel) and...

Donald Heya: Halfway through the movie, the person I was with leaned over and said, "The sniper is Donald Sutherland." ;) Take care, Dreeble

Little Kids Heya: I finally saw it last week with my mom. She thanked me for taking her to it since otherwise she would never have seen it. I enjoyed the heck out of the movie. It was odd to me how many really little kids where there, though, like in the 6-8 year range. The theatre was...

43 minutes = wow Heya: Forty-three minutes sounds great. The extra 30 minutes (or however much it was) felt like tons more in Fellowship. It seemed like every scene had something added, whether just a few extra seconds of something new or more. And the only thing I wish they hadn't added...

KotOR Heya: Quick aside: Knights of the Old Republic is supposed to be an RPG, but from the screenshots, I see zero evidence of this (nothing to indicate stats, or levelling, or skill percentages, or phat lewt, or any sort of character progression whatsoever). Instead, it looks like an...

Heya: Thanks for the info. I'm not too bothered by manual dexterity-intensive mini-games, I just lack most of the dexterity and all of the patience for them. I finished FFX even without completing all the epic quests (or whatever they were called) and enjoyed it all. I've never played a...
