    He Says Nobody Can Beat His Tower

    Ring of Invisibility, antimagic spells and effects, teleportation. Earthquake ... Any structure standing on open ground takes 100 points of damage .... Hardness does not reduce this damage, nor is it halved as damage dealt to objects normally is. ...

    how to increase the font?

    It's a bug a lot of folks are having. Currently being discussed in this thread: New Boards (Verdict?)

    what does go advanced do? I'll find out in this test thread... Apparently it takes what you put in the Quick Reply box and 'ports it over to the standard "Post Reply" screen. A bit redundant, but nothing that gets in the way. Also, a note on formatting. Standard keyboard shortcuts work in...

    New Boards (Verdict?)

    OK, now I've got a real wierd thing going on. (not a complaint, just throwing stuff on the "bugs pile" :)) In the message I've quoted (#80), the text size is normal for what I have my browser set to, but the rest of the messages are still forum-default small. Also, only the text that is in...

    Non-breaking spaces...

    Testing... This should be enough spaces to go off the page. Start (removed 20 inches of blank spaces :)) End. *edit: It worked for me.   Don't forget the semicolon at the end.

    Aren't books great?

    But how much damage would they do? Book Club, double weapon. 1d6 20x2 Bludgeoning / 1d3 18-20 x2 slashing (papercut). :D

    EWP Bastard Sword (silly)

    You don't need to factor in a non-proficiency penalty in this case. Any weapon you are proficient in using one-handed can be used two handed. Thus, if you are one-handed-proficient in a Bastard Sword, you can use it in two hands without penalty.

    So did you see Mars tonight?

    I went out after sunset to try and see it, but saw that we had too much cloud cover. So I gave up and went inside, and didn't check again later. I'll try again tonight.

    New Boards (Verdict?)

    A note about the small font size. I've tried changing the text size in IE, with no effect. Some of the text and/or page breaks outside of posts (top and bottom of page) changed, but it had no effect on text size of posts. I also have this problem on another message board that uses this vB...

    [OT] Local or Urban Legends

    No, I'd never heard of that. Cool, something else for the supernatual files! :) Here's something I just dug up off a google search <link to story + picture> Apparantly, some people think it is a chupacubra. To tell the truth, those (fictional?) things scare me! There have been several...

    Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark preview

    This looks really sweet. I'll love to see how they work the high-level characters in, along with the super-monsters (mithril golem? sweet!). More prestige classes / feats / spells / etc. gets me excited. The addition of a second henchman (yes, I have dreams now of a 6-person party mod. Go BG...

    Don't Panic! (OT Advice Thread)

    But we're gamers, let a d20 replace the coin. In fact, I used that this past Sunday, deciding between a vanilla and a banana malt from Sonic. 1-10 vanilla, 11-20 banana. The vanilla won with a 4. You get more options using a d20, too. Easy to make decisions among 2, 4, 5, 10, or 20...

    [OT] Local or Urban Legends

    Re: Roanoke I don't know the tale, but I'll hazard a guess. "Tomhegan" was the name of the Indian, but the carver of the tombstone misinterpreted the name (whether written or spoken) as an American first and last name, Tom Hegan. Again, just a guess.

    [OT] Local or Urban Legends

    Springfield, Louisiana. It's about a twenty minute drive from where I live. There is a cemetary in Springfield that has a ... unique ... tale surrounding it. On August 20, 1983, there was a vehicle accident that claimed the life of a sixteen-year-old boy. It was a hit-and-run, and there were...

    Don't Panic! (OT Advice Thread)

    To go with the "be honest" comment above, don't try to sell yourself off as something you're not. Don't boast about your abilities, because that is a lie saying that you are better than you really are. Don't be overly modest about yourself, either, for that is a lie saying that you are not as...
