    Day of the Doctor

    Yeah, I would have liked a little....more/something else of the time war. I was kind of glad Rose took the form she did. I also loved the Capaldi drop-in and at first I thought he, not Baker, might be the curator but either way it was pretty cool. I had some people over for gaming, lunch and...

    Do you think it is reasonable not to tip your server?

    You miss the etymology of Wheaton's Law. After (during?) his Trek stint he felt like a real "somebody" and once he realized he peaked as an actor with Stand By Me he also realized his recent actions were unbecoming, hence Wheaton's Law as a form of self reflection/correction.

    Do you think it is reasonable not to tip your server?

    Yeah, this one really bugs the shiznit out of me. I generally avoid chain restaurants like the plague, but I've been a waiter, bartender and FOH manager in my past and while it seems seems the indy restaurants it sometimes goes better but the phenomena is still there. I also saw it when I was a...

    Is humanity still evolving?

    Yes, we are still evolving, most evidence shows that. However, if internet message boards and comments sections were to be used as "evidence" then one could make a strong argument for devolution. B-)

    D&D 4E messy's 4e newbie questions thread

    No multiclass feats gives you an Encounter Heal, it gives you that power as a Daily heal. You can then, however, use a powerswap feat to grab healing utilities, most often Level 6 leader class utilities, to get an Encounter heal. Define "issue".

    What Do You Want To Talk About? (EnWorld edition)

    When making up "official-sounding" terms for things, why is it most of them don't make sense? *Warning: controversial subject*

    if you have kids, how old were you when you had them?

    I was 20 and in college. It was good and bad. The good: I am able to probably relate better with him. I also started his D&D "career" early, so he's been playing 20 years now. I was done paying child support by 40. My current SO and I have three kids between us, but all are in their...

    The Night of the Doctor - new mini Doctor Who episode.

    Yeah, I have the first episode, the three Lucy Miller series and the Mary Shelly series on CD but it's incredibly great to have the "live action" version again. I still get that stupid, inexplicable, giddy, child-like excitement watching the minisode. Moffat, you lying bastard, never change! ;)...

    D&D 4E Sorcerer and Themes in 4e?

    Elemetal Initiate is also a strong theme. The extra skill, +1 Will at 10 are nice, though your mileage may vary on the Encounter Reaction. I love Genasi, but while Storm Sorcerer is the most thematic, their stats line up terribly. Elementalists are better due to CON but the build isn't as...

    Yeah, perhaps the time war leaches his vitality.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    No, you're thinking too large of an area. In "real", combat, movement is fluid and dynamic. Say the Fighter anticipates an opening to the under-the-shoulder joint of his opponent that will be on the axis of his (resting) elbow height and right hip as the opponent appears to be entering a crouch...

    The Night of the Doctor - new mini Doctor Who episode.

    Yeah, I like how he says, basically, 'I guess tehre's no need for a Doctor at this point' choosing and knowing full well what he needs to do.
