    Incredibles DVD - Opinions?

    Why? Seriously, why do it? It's already bad enough that there are recomposed versions just so Joe Sixpack can have the movie "fill mu teevee screen" and alter the original framing of a scene. Why introduce yet another "version" of the movie which would needlessly cost more money and time for...

    Incredibles DVD - Opinions?

    Educate yourself on the different aspect ratios. http://www.widescreen.org/aspect_ratios.shtml According to the Internet Movie Database, FINDING NEMO was shot in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio which very closely matches the 16:9/1.78:1 aspect ratio of a widescreen TV. THE INCREDIBLES was shot with a...

    Can you use the Persistent Spell feat on True Strike?

    You'd need a major ring of spell storing to do that since Persistent Spell is +6 levels which means that Persistent True Strike will occupy 7 out of the 10 levels of the ring. The weapon and minor ring only stores 3 levels and the regular ring has 5. But then if you're still going to store...

    How would a PC type go about acquiring an undead army, by RAW?

    Read the description of the invocation on page 133 of Complete Arcane. Specifically, it's a 25gp onyx gem for each hit die just like the spell. Although if he decides not to use the gems, he can get a pretty big temporary horde that could potentially shame an equal level cleric's output due to...

    Are there any spells that add to initiative?

    The Combat section of the SRD starts by detailing the initiative system. Initiative was always rolled once at the start of combat since 3.0. Rerolling every round defeats the purpose of system since initiative is backwards looking to achieve simultaneity. Whenever your turns up asking what...

    Anyone use Dvorak?

    One interesting thing to note with the QWERTY layout is that the letters for the word TYPEWRITER can all be found on the row of keys above the home row. So what was that about the letters being arranged in the most awkward positions to slow people down?

    Tsunami Yields Fantastic Creatures

    What's wrong with metamagic?

    Here's the text of the Maximize Spell feat. Note the highlighted section. It's the general rule on stacking effects in d20 that you always apply multipliers to the base value. Back in 3.0, a double extended spell has its duration tripled rather than quadrupled because you apply the extension...

    Trog Stench DC?

    Trogs have two racial hit dice. Using the formula above, that would be d20+1(Hit Dice)+2(Con bonus) for a DC 13 Fortitude save to resist their Stench ability.

    I'm going to feel stupid asking this question...

    As it is right now the system breaks it down into two fragments: the primary attack, and the remaining iteratives as a whole. It sounds like what you're aiming for is something with more granularity. Perhaps splitting the six second round into smaller phases could accomplish your goal. The...

    Price of Blindsight Item?

    That blindfold item isn't as great as it may seem at first. Blindsight out to 60 feet is good but anything beyond that range is effectively invisible because your vision is blocked by the blindfold. That said, I still think it could be a lot more expensive since all you need to do is keep it...

    Spring Attack and Hideous Blow/Shot on the Run and Eldritch Blast- possible!

    Ingenious! It's also perfectly legal unless the DM won't allow feats from the Monster Manual. You just have to remember to keep flying while on ground since it only works when flying.

    Balor DR

    Won't work except for busting through x/magic DR. It's been revised in 3.5 to beat all alignment based DR. Metalline from one of the Forgotten Realms sourcebooks can switch material types, but it only does one of them at a time so that won't work either.

    Chameleon? Why?

    Has to be a typo since it doesn't list a hit die type for the class itself. @Maldur: You think the epic progression gives you a booming voice that makes you talk IN ALL CAPS?

    Silence Spell Saving Throw

    Earlier I said you were getting close to the incorrect claim that Invisibility is mind affecting. You replied that it was the rules that were the ones getting close to such a claim. Hence, I asked for a SPECIFIC cite for your claim. Quoting the section wholesale and expecting me to know what...

    Silence Spell Saving Throw

    Cite? I don't see anything comes close to making Invisibility=Epic Mass Cloud Mind. It's an illusion because that's how glamers work. They're psuedo-Transmutation effects that mess with the sensory properties of the target. Any effects which fit that model are placed in the Glamer subschool...

    Silence Spell Saving Throw

    You're getting dangerously close to claiming that Invisibility is mind affecting here. You're getting the effects of a glamer reversed here. Glamers don't affect the perceptions of those interacting with the target, they change the way the target appears or sounds or whatever sensory...

    Favorite scenes from cartoons? [spoilers]

    Two episodes of Futurama. Not surprisingly, both of them are about things from Fry's life in the 20th century. "The Luck of the Fryrish" has Fry believing his brother stole his name and lucky seven leaf clover becoming the first man to land on Mars. In the end, he discovers that nothing was...
