And for those of us at the mercy of a corporate IT department? We can't install anything. Heck, they just started giving people Winderz XP last year; there's no way they're going to upgrade our IE beyond 6.

ooo, I like that, thanks. I'll try that in the next campaign. Hussar needs to pay attention to posts that he quotes.

Trying not to step on toes, here, sorry, but I hate PCGen. Maybe I don't know how to use it, but all the clicky-clicky-clicky-clicky-clicky-clicky-clicky gets old real fast. Just last week, I tried it (again) on my new computer. 11th level half-orc barbarian. How long can that take to build...

had a blast with Lord of the Iron Fortress. There is one drow NPC, placed there only to provide information to the party and get the hell out of there.

Nevertheless, I agree with DragonLancer. Yeah, 50% is harsh, but that's because there are so many devastating effects. I hate it when saving throws are a foregone conclusion. My campaign plays with the "natural 1 is negative 10 and natural 20 is 30" rule for saves. For example, many of the...

I totally agree with you. I like the mini form factor, and think it's perfect for what it is. Except that it's getting slow. A few months ago a friend of mine wanted a cheap PC for <$600. I convinced her to drink the Kool-Aid and pony up a bit less than $800 for a loaded Mini. She is...

so far: Iron Will, Power Attack, Cleave, Combat Expertise, Improved Trip. Haven't decided beyond that, but am considering the Dodge-Mobility-Spring Attack-Whirlwind Attack chain.

I would not bother. As I post this, it has been almost nine months since the Mini was updated. This is essentially a death knell for an Apple product. The mini will soon go the way of the cube. Speculation is that it is too similar to the AppleTV, and that Apple will close the gap between...

I am touched. No, wait, I'm confused. What?

my take: After the Jump check is resolved, fire elemental goes only as far as it can, then plummets toward the water. [if you play some wonky rules, then you may say that a natural 1 on that check causes the elemental to fall prone in the space from which it tried to jump, but I don't run...

I don't want to start him on dice for two or three years, but I've been thinking about how I can design a game that doesn't rely on dice or ugly rules. Like an even more dumbed down DDM with colored tokens instead of dice, or something.

well, duh: potion of lesser restoration: your barbarian should never leave home without it!

Hi, just noticed this thread. Typing this on a 2GHz whitebook. I guess you're up to 68 now.

I've always wanted to have an excuse to use this category. For example, nutnutgoods I'm not very good at this.

because the deity's flavor is about prolonged journeys. If the point of a journey is travel (vs. arrive), then why would he need to be fast? My mind grabs onto that word 'prolonged' and makes me think 'Extend Spell.'

Am I allowed to put a link to my wife's internet store in my .sig? I don't know the rules around this. There aren't any listed on the .sig-edit page.

oh, hmm. I had always assumed that figments were kinda like shared phantasma, without the mind-affecting component. You are saying that they are more like light shows. I figured the light-show aspect would put that effect more into Evocation than Illusion. OK, so if figments are light shows...

...says the guy with Maximize Spell and DMM Maximize... I don't agree, though. Fharlanghn strikes me as an Extend Spell/DMM Extend kind of guy. He's all about the long haul. Picking up Contemplative for the extra domain is key, though. Note that sometimes even the Lucky get imploded by...

My wife is the druid in my campaign, and I am the barbarian in Seans23's campaign. The boy has yet to roll his first die.
