    D&D 5E (2014) Next spell for Duskblade 8

    Oi! That's just silly, but I know exactly what you mean. This is one of the reasons why I dropped [Evil] and [Good] tags from the game. I also changed the alignment system so that Good/Evil aren't one of the axis. Whetehr someone is acting good or evil should not be something that gets...

    D&D 5E (2014) Next spell for Duskblade 8

    So, let me get this straight. Killing the bad guy with a sword is acceptable to the paladin. Killing the bad guy with a spell that makes you able to pursue more evil more quickly is a bad thing? Enter my problem with [Evil] and [Good] tags. Evil and good (as view by most players of paladins)...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    If you are going to respond to my posts, please read them for my intent of words rather than misconstruing my point in an attempt to make me look silly. I've already spoken in this thread that pleasing the customer is necessary for return business. I shouldn't have to repeat it time and time...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    Actually, I am curious as well. In my sig (post above) you'll notice that I have a few Story Hours that are fictional (not table-top based). My wife hates reading off the computer screen, so for Christmas this past year I printed out my entire first Story Hour (~180,000 words). I realized...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    I don't know that for certain - as policy. But we've never have them refuse to print a Word document. We've also never tried a pdf. So, I'm not claiming to paint a fair picture - merely talking about my own experience. EDIT: I should also claim that I live near State College, PA. [Penn...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    Yes, but I equally loathe the assumption that anyone couldn't be an abuser. Certainly not all users are abusers. But certainly there are more abusers out there than who get caught. In response to your inquiry, Morrus, they do print Masters Thesis. My wife recently had to have 5 copies of her...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    Naw. It shouldn't be their "job." It should be their desire. The job is what a contract (or the law) compells you to do. However, don't hear me as disagreeing with you. You are exactly correct. If they wish to be able to continue to do their job, they will desire to make the customers...

    Into the Moral Darkness: (Now a Completed Story!)

    Chapter Eight: ARUM DRACUNCULUS Rhema’s eyes opened with a start. The brightness of space around her made her squint until only the smallest amount of light was being allowed in. Her vision was incredibly narrow, but after a few second she saw fuzzy movement above her. She allowed her...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    It isn't staples "job" to make people happy. It helps, and that ensures return customers. It is staples "job" as a business to make sure that laws are upheld - especially if you are in the 'duplication' business as are kinkos and staples. Sure, they are preventing themselves from being sued...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    I applaud staples, and perhaps will take my business to a copy that I know follows the rules that protect the publishers. 'Bout time someone des! It's kind of like the reason I say that you to the rare person at a check-out stand that actually checks the signature on the back of my credit...

    Issue with editing people's comments...

    So, that would be exactly one minute les than 19 hours, I see. I think that qualifies as convenient. Carry on! :D The question is ... what did Piratecate edit (*cough* add *cough) to your original post?

    I see you got your name fixed. I told you the mods rock, and that being polite always makes you look better! :D Now .. onto your monk. Have you decided which you are getting, the periapt or the amulet?

    Favorite PHB Iconic

    Huh. I never thought about it, but going through that list I realized that I like about half of them, but none of them more than the others. In a close race between Lidda, Redgar, and Gimble ... I chose Gimble.

    Your favorite alternate D&D magic system?

    You mean, psionics, no doubt! :D [And yes, I do know what you were really referring to considering the original poster... ]

    Is encounter books next?

    When I first read this thread, all I could think of was how "I would so not buy a book of encounters ever." When I read the above post, I suddenly changed my tune to "Okay, I still wouldn't buy that book, but that idea I could see making it appealing for some DMs." I do have to say, though...

    Mechanics or story?

    Well, this is obviously true, also. But I would imagine that anyone who is seriously going into publishing could find someone who can get you over the level of "bad" and solidly into "acceptable." [And this next bit may be unrealistic on my part] But I would hope that the worst case scenario...

    Awake, My Unthread Minion!

    Yeah, but that's not thread necromancy in my book. That's barely thread resuscitation. For true thread necromancy to happen, it's gotta be six months or more in my book. And ideally, I'd like it to have a date that ends in a different number than the current year. [Now fair calling thread...

    Seventh Level Monk

    Regarding the choice, it is really yours to make. All things being equal, though, I see many more periapts of wisdom in my games than I do amulets of health. Boosting an ability score is seldom a bad thing to do, either way! Besides, your monk's saves should pretty much always be the least of...

    Issue with editing people's comments...

    So, how long until that post get's edited by Rel? :p Back on topic, I also agree with mods deleting or chopping but not rewording. As has been stated earlier ... a post may contain good info and only one part that is spoiling the rest. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! To the...

    Seventh Level Monk

    Note that I edited my earlier post to include the link to the other thread if you need it. As for the INA part, you should speak to the DM. Some DMs don't care about the "level-up" order. Some DMs do and have their own order. The question is, when you level, do you take your feat or increase...
