    Planescape Torment help, please!!!

    Talk to Lazlo in the Lower Ward marketplace. You'll learn that maybe you really don't want to get inside after all. The Unity of the Rings. Go back to the slab where you woke up. Speaking of the Unity of the Rings, I hope you got your mage training from Old Mebbeth and learned some stuff...

    Acid Splash, Ray of Frost, Touch Spells, and Sneak Attacks

    It wasn't overlooked. It's part of the (Creation) subschool which only uses magic to build its effect. There's no magic involved in maintaining the acid after it's been created so it's as permanent as that Wall of Iron.

    Planescape Torment help, please!!!

    Basically, don't worry about most of these things for a while. All of it will come to you eventually. As I remember, the Decanter should be in the same area as the Bronze Sphere so you can't miss it. Same goes for Annah joining when you give Pharod the Bronze Sphere. You'll find her in the...

    Know any good Combat Flight Sims?

    On fan produced games, I hear good things about Bruno R. Marcos' Battle of Endor game. It's programmed in Visual Basic 6 using a freeware 3D engine. I have to say that while Wing Commander: Prophecy is a great game, the physics felt a bit too arcadey at times. It's great for flying around and...

    Chinese food terminology, advice sought

    If you're going for dim sum, you should know that pricing methods might vary. Most places I've been to are the familiar sorts with the carts. Get a dish and they'll stamp your check according to the price. I don't think I've ever seen a per person charge like the one WayneLigon mentioned...

    Elvish chain is beautiful.

    So I have to ask, how flexible is the weave depicted in the Player's Handbook? I'm thinking it has to be very flexible, because just looking at it causes my brain to flex quite a bit trying to make sense of it. :)

    Two Weapon Fighting Question

    He already accounted for the penalty since Improved gives you another attack at your highest bonus, in this case +5, which comes out to the +0 at the end. To put it another way, all the TWF feats give you as many off-hand attacks as you have primaries up until the last one which would spill...

    Star Wars DVD

    You're probably thinking of the postings up at The Digital Bits. The first one wherein the problems are discovered http://www.thedigitalbits.com/mytwocentsa94.html#ep4audio Lucasfilm's denial of any problems http://www.thedigitalbits.com/mytwocentsa94.html#audup

    New game from the 'escape from a room' people ...And, as always, hate me later ;)

    Help is on the way... I had the same problem. Try restarting the game and proceed as you did before. The thing you get might change so you need to play it twice. I don't know. I gave up and searched for a solve and found people that reloaded and got it to work.

    Intelligent Weapon/EGO contest (unusual situation)

    I think you should consider reviewing the definition of Chaotic Good. Being motivated by personal connections is a Neutral trait. Just because you're nice to your friends doesn't mean you're a Good guy. Afterall, there are Evil momma's boys. Think again. Both on terms of drift and ego...

    Wands? - Anyone use?

    Mordenkainen's Lucubration and Rary's Mnemonic Enhancer are the exceptions. Both mess around with spell preparation which the sorcerer cannot do outside of the Arcane Preparation feat.

    How to play DOS games in Windows?

    Something wrong with settling for The Ur-Quan Masters? What's wrong with 0.86? I also don't understand what you mean when you say you have to go _back_ to get "WinMAME".

    How to play DOS games in Windows?

    Try DOSBox for Ultima VI. You're out of luck AFAIK for Privateer due to that damnable Voodoo memory manager. Speaking of, you _can_ get Ultima VII to run in Windows thanks to U7Run despite the same Voodoo memory manager. A similar utility also exists for Ultima VIII. Furthermore, the Exult...

    [Batman Begins] Clark Kent cameo?

    Doc Connors was already spoiled in the trailers though. I think he's probably referring to the surprise cameo at the end of the movie.

    Tricking the Willing...

    What about a Sense Motive check opposed by the caster's Bluff with a +2 synergy for 5 ranks in Spellcraft? If the target wins the opposed check, he can put his shields back up and get a save as normal. I'd say you could do this in addition to making a Spellcraft check to identify the spell...

    crouching tiger prestige class

    Li Mu Bai seemed to be the talk you out of it type, but I guess it could just be a lot of cross class ranks coupled with a decent Charisma. I'll grant the Sense Motive problem too, but you might consider the Bluff counter aspect of it. Mostly just flavor reasons. Especially so if you use the...

    crouching tiger prestige class

    Class skills? I'm assuming it'll probably be something like the monk's list, but a listing would be nice. What about weapon proficiencies? I'm assuming all simple and martial. If so, consider adding in the monk exotics because you can get in without taking a single monk level.

    the portal opens, would you go through?

    Along these lines, I want this in the trunk of my Oldsmobile Eighty-Eighty along with a 12 gauge and a chainsaw. Groovy. :-) Seriously I would just consider it if I get to keep my current age and take along a small stockpile of modern amenities and knowledge. Additionally, I'd want a...
