    Truenamer in play?

    Unfortunately, you can't Take 10 or 20 with Truespeach checks; last sentence of the Check part of the skill description mentions that. Not letting you Take 10 i can understand, but no Take 20 either? Given what Take 20 is supposed to represent, using the skill over and over again until you...

    Spring attack and ToB maneuvers

    I'd look into picking up the strikes Emerald Razor (DM 2), Ruby Nightmare Blade (DM 4) and Diamond Nightmare Blade (DM 8). All three are great for two-handed Power Attackers; Emerald Razor is a melee touch attack, and Ruby and Diamond Nightmare Blade deal melee damage x2 and x4, respectively...

    Truenamer in play?

    How, exactly, are you getting 5 uses per day before rolling? The DC to target an 11th-level character is 37; with a +30 check, you need to roll a 7 right out of the gate. That's a 30% chance of failing your first use, and it's only going to get worse from there.

    Rage and Bo9S maneuvers/stances

    I believe that's the way CustServ ruled, as well; no maneuvers that require banned skill checks and no recovery. Seems reasonable to me.

    Teleporting monk

    Unfortunately, Aesthetic Mage doesn't change the Wisdom dependency of Stunning Fist; your DC should actually be 13. Ouch. Luckily, if you go Enlightened Fist, you'll be using those stunning fist attempts on other things.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic [SPOILERS]

    Good luck with that; Obsidian offered to fix the game with content patches and LucasArts turned them down.

    ABC moves 'Lost' out of 'Idol's' way

    Honestly, i'd say the reason Lost is getting moved back an hour is because absolutely nothing has managed to pull in decent ratings after it; every show they've aired after Lost has tanked something fierce. The fact that many Lost fans immediately jump on to the internet after an episode ends...

    Swordsage & natural weapons?

    On the stances issue, thanks to some unfortunate wording (or entirely deliberate wording, depending upon how you interpret designer intent), you can only take a 1st-level stance at swordsage/crusader/warblade 1, regardless of your initiator level. The first sentence of the swordsage's Stances...

    Swordsage & natural weapons?

    No, Shazman is right; claw is one of the preferred weapons of the Tiger Claw discipline.

    Self = Ally? Leading the Charge (TOB)

    The best answer would be no, IMHO, if only because "ally = self" can lead to some serious infinite-loop craziness with White Raven Tactics.

    distracting ember boost

    Assuming, for the sake of argument, that this works, i really don't see how this little combo could be even the slightest bit effective after 1st or 2nd level, and certainly not by the time you gain access to time hop. You are, for all intents and purposes, replacing yourself with a CR 1...

    New Spidey 3 Trailer

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5l9fEBs4m8&eurl= A slightly different version. Obviously unfinished and not meant to get out (what with the low-grade CG effects and green-screening going on), but it does have a quick shot of Venom at the end.

    Dragonmarked

    Mark of the Dauntless requiring a Siberys mark, however, greatly limits the awesome.

    Looking for an AoE (Force) spell

    Sharn: City of Towers has shockwave; 3rd-level, close range, 20' radius, 1d4 nonlethal force damage/level (max 10d4), dazes for 1 round, Fort for 1/2 damage and negate daze.

    Neverwinter Nights 2!!!

    ^ Ah, Shadowrun; i really loved that game. The memory battery on my copy died out last year, making it pretty darn hard to play anymore. :(

    Final Fantasy XII - Must buy?

    I know a guy who imported the Japanese version when it came out and he's been raving about it ever since. Personally, i've had just about all i can stand when it comes to JRPGs and have no real interest in playing them anymore. However, given that FFXII's original director was Yasumi Matsuno -...

    Neverwinter Nights 2!!!

    The KotOR II debacle wasn't really Obsidian's fault, though. LucasArts strong-armed them into releasing it for Christmas ('04, was it?) after a paltry 7 months of development. When, a month or two after the PC release in February, Obsidian offered to do a content patch to restore the cut...
