    Xanathar's War Mage is Gandalf, Dr Strange, and Elric

    I am also not seeing the link between the three characters, save that two of them use melee weapons as well as magic.

    Ok, so for semi-formal logic - If the price of one is equal to the price of two; the price of one being fundamentally one-half the price of two; then the only way to reconcile those two differing statements is if the price of one, and the price of two, is the same; through the use of a "sale...

    Battlemagic Perception spell : Taking a free action outside one's turn?

    Note: I do not have that book, so I will approach from the general case. By RAW, unless it specifically says that you get a free action, you don't get a free action. By RAI, if a spell, feat, or other rule would not work as written, but the intent is clear enough (ex: Ride-By Attack), then the...

    D&D 5E (2014) GMs of EN World: What player behavior annoys you the most?

    Acting like they are on "* Got Talent", giving their star performance in...Dice-rolling. Which typically ends with at least one die under the table, after which they complain when I tell them, once again, that dice that aren't on the table, get re-rolled.

    One for the price of two is equivalent to two for the price of one. Proof: 2x = x + x 1x = x x = $y 2x = $y $2y != x $y = 2x C&C welcome. :)

    New Terminator from Cameron will ignore all but T1 and T2

    You mean something that, perhaps, could be described as "wibbly-wobbly?" Maybe even "timey-wimey?"

    BBSs, or Bulletin Board Systems, were (and are) a different phenomenon. They are most comparable to a single webpage; generally with a forum, e-mail, downloads section, and online games (generally multiplayer) included. Some BBSs also provided access to UseNet or other external services. Some...

    http://olduse.net/ is a real-time history, showing UseNet posts from 30 years ago, today. Be sure to download posts, as the available log is rather short. UseNet was the internet before the internet; a world-wide forum in the days before forums. And it still exists today, a decades-old legacy...

    It has taken me quite some years to codify exactly what I dislike about *Joel Rosenberg's writing. And that is, that his protagonists tend to be one unrelieved field of varying grey. Sometimes one will do something unreservedly heroic; another time, that same one will nearly kill a close friend...

    Question about Raksashas

    The problem being that almost any plot that could be done with rakshasas could be done with drow, mindflayers, or yuan-ti. And cat-people are not considered unique or distinct; or so is my general sense of the fandom. Plus, visually speaking, rakshasas are not distinct. "How did you know they...

    Reading note: This post should be read in the voice of Leslie Nelson. I should probably finish "Sam's Teach Yourself SQL in Ten Minutes", but I ran out of time. I thought about actually using SQL, but then I had another thought. "And now we shall do a routine and trivial task on a few million...
