    I got kicked out of my group!

    Graf - please take it to email. No need to air your dirty laundry here on the boards. And for the record - if that is how you usually respond to a "cry for help", I sincerely hope I'll never need your help...

    Return of Creature by Poll - The Creature thus Far

    FYI - I've added some votes, breaking a few ties in favor of Nutcracker (over Melee Hurter), Mineral (shared second place with Planar Essence, but behind Ideas), and Arcane Fire (over Opportunist or Precise Strike - ranged touch attack seemed to fit well for a "nutcracker"). [Edit: I declined...

    Why Are Warrior Women Never Ugly?

    Actually, I happen to think that "blue lady" up above is dressed entirely approriately! Entirely appropriate for a gladiator, that is. The main reason why gladiator armor looks so outlandish is that it is meant for *show*. Not only is it meant to look good (which it obviously does, on her)...

    Can we stop cross-posting from RPG.net threads?

    But if there was a nasty argument over on rpg.net, chances are we could do it in a more civilized manner here on ENworld and get a lot more constructive discussion out of it. I can understand that you wouldn't want people to crosspost on rpg.net, inviting the troublemakers over to ENworld to...

    Cold wrought iron, what is it?

    I believe it's supposed to be cold-wrought *meteoritic* iron, so no smelting is involved in the first place. [Edit: could also be "bog iron".]

    civic magic items

    I prefer to think that Decanters don't just create water from scratch - they draw water from the environment in some fairly large radius. So if you use so many decanters that some of the water actually flows out of the area, or use them for irrigation, thereby causing increased evaporation of...

    Did I overreact or is my DM a moron? RANT

    Well, there goes the thread... Kapalen - FYI, the correct response when people start flinging personal insults is to report the post to the moderators. See that little "Report Post" button at the bottom left of each post? Responding in kind will only get the thread closed and/or get you banned...

    Can we stop cross-posting from RPG.net threads?

    Personally, I'm all in favor of crossposting from rpg.net or wherever else an intersting topic comes up. As long as the initial post has enough info that you're not *forced* to follow the link to contribute to the discussion. But yes, I do want the link there, just in case I'd like to see what's...

    Why Are Warrior Women Never Ugly?

    Hey - thanks for giving me some inspiration for my next character! Mother Bertha - middleaged female half orc, veteran of many wars. Has a weakness for soft cuddly, defenseless things... but will bite your head off if you dare point that out! I'm a little thorn on the class though. Barbarian...

    Movies which surprised you.

    Another "ditto" for Sixth Sense. My second prize goes to a movie I fel is quite underrated: Angel Heart. Mickey Rourke plays a private eye in Louisiana, hired by a very creepy Robert De Niro to track down a singer called Johnny Favorite. Turns out dear Johnny made a contract with the devil and...

    GURPS-Share your thoughts

    Because it's less of an abstraction, which allows me to stay more into the mind of my character during combat. Hitpoints in D&D could mean just about anything - from a lowly commoner taking 1 hp of damage and being at the brink of death, to a high level PC taking a greataxe to the face and...

    Character Creation Stat Draft (Trial Draft Complete!!)

    Actually, a more fair approach is to reverse direction only once. I.e. ABCDE, EDCBA, EDCBA, etc... (This order is also frequently suggested for treasure allocation.) The order proposed by Wulf (and Thanee earlier) would be ok if the stats were distributed uniformly. But with rolled stats...

    Exactly. And that's why I like GURPS better...

    Cooperative Dungeon 04 -- When Heroes Fall

    Darn, I was hoping they would get a little further than that. Glad to see the Howling Winds worked as intended though! :cool: Couple of interesting twists there. I love the part where Hennett fires the wand of Magic Missiles at the doppleganger, and then just gives the wand to him. :lol...

    Cooperative Dungeon 04 -- When Heroes Fall

    William - any more updates on your end? I have to admit it's quite a thrill seeing people wander through the adventure you helped create! :)

    Cooperative Dungeon 04 -- When Heroes Fall

    In fact, a quick check with Google is all that's needed. For that matter, even if you had changed the name, certain keywords such as "Toth Nekamek" would do. Heck - even a search for "jackal dungeon" will get you there! (Ain't Google great?) But yeah, better not lead them into temptation...

    Best way to revitalize the economy of a town in D&D

    If there are more of these gits running neighboring towns, let them know that you just *might* be willing to part with some of your prized cooks. With an appropriate compensation for the hardship you would have to endure without them, of course! ;) If the neighboring towns are actually...

    Cooperative Dungeon 04 -- When Heroes Fall

    Hey Trainz - You may want to hide your sig when you post in Erekose's thread. It's kind of a dead giveaway, you know?

    Is Vow of Poverty broken?

    Until your opponents figure out they can *really* hurt you with a silver-tipped Xbow bolt! :D Hmm... do you "own" a xbow bolt if it's stuck in your butt, or are merely in posession of it? And if the latter, does the VoP character need to return it to it's proper owner, or can he donate it to...

    Killing innocents - a paladin thread in disguise ;-)

    Hmm... you said you "could have escaped quite easily". So why not get out of that room first, and *then* start MM'ing them until they're down? Or just start flinging aroun MM's while you're in the room, and take a few sword hits if need be. If you're 7th and they're 1st or 2nd, you can probably...
