    Power Attack Optimization

    It's not. I haven't looked at the Jack B. Quick thread since it was first posted, but an integral part of the build was using the High Sword Low Axe feat - which requires WF (handaxe) - for lots of tripping goodness. That may have changed in later builds, though.

    [June] What are you playing?

    Not being able to play New Super Mario Brothers (no DS) finally got to me, so i've been on an old-school Mario Bros kick. Finished Super Mario World last night and started on Yoshi's Island. I'll likely dig into SMB 3 after that, then maybe some of the old Gameboy Super Mario Land games or...

    Nintendo's E3 showing--and beyond

    From The Magic Box: So the popular opinion now is $229.99 here in the US. I don't know about Nintendo, but i know that many companies sell their games for more in Japan than in the US (SqaureEnix, for example), so $199.99 might still be a possibility.

    Just saw X-Men III (Now with spoilers!)

    Meh. As i said on another forum, the best parts of this film (for me) were 1.) the Snakes on a Plane teaser during the previews and 2.) R. Lee Ermey's voice-over during the "soldiers grabbing their weapons" scene. (What can i say, i'm a Gunny fan.)

    Both Ebert and Roeper gave it a thumbs up on their show.

    24 (Aired 5/18) SPOILER REQUEST

    Quite right. :o Been involved in a "dragon shaman steps too much on the toes of the marshal" debate and had the wrong spelling on the brain.

    24 (Aired 5/18) SPOILER REQUEST

    Well, with marshal law in place, maybe they either 1.) didn't feel the need for security or 2.) with marines stationed all over LA, they simply couldn't spare the manpower.

    LOST news from SciFi dot com (SPOILERS)

    Yeah, but at least Sawyer, like him or not, is charismatic. Ana Lucia... not so much. ('Course, doesn't help that 1. I don't really like Michelle Rodriguez to begin with, and 2. She plays the exact same character in everything she does.)

    Fast Ball Special… /sigh

    Not surprisingly, there's already a feat for this: Fling Ally, from Races of Stone. As it requires large size, a human cleric wouldn't qualify. However, you can use its mechanic to make your own house-ruled version. Basically, with the feat, you can pick up an ally who is at least one size...

    G4TV Does It Again

    Honestly, i don't think there would be much point to it. Unless the channel had some serious financial backing, the second it becomes successful and Comcast realizes it is "stealing" away the geek demographic, they would just buy it out and do the same thing again. (I say "stealing" even...

    Shoe speaks: Snake's Swiftness

    I guess i just fail to see how mass snake's swiftness is any more "broken" than haste. (Note, i don't have the Spell Compendium, i'm going on the MiniHB version of the spell.) MSS gives a bunch of people an extra attack, haste gives a bunch of people an extra attack per round for several...

    Incarnum - grappler Monk(!) questions

    Yeah, it does kind of neuter the idea, doesn't it? I would focus, instead, on tripping. You're already getting Improved Trip for free at 6th level and a trip check is a Strength check, so the mauling gauntlets would apply. Besides, IMHO, tripping is a more viable tactic than grappling...

    Incarnum - grappler Monk(!) questions

    I would say yes. Bonus Essentia grants you 2 essentia "if you are capable of shaping soulmelds;" Shape Soulmeld gives you "the ability to shape a single soulmeld." Seems pretty cut and dried to me. This one's less clear, but that's certainly the way i interpret it. Unfortunately, i don't...

    Shirt of False Life - Reasonable?

    Seems more than fair to me, considering that a simple +2 Con item costs only 4K and will grant more hp in the long run.

    Who do that voodoo?

    And isn't sanity just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick: rational thinking. But when you're good and crazy, ooh, ho, ho, the sky's the limit!

    What's Your Favorite Crime Movie?

    Heat. Al Pacino as the cop + Robert DeNiro as the criminal = WIN. One of the best crime movies around.

    [Nov.] What are you playing?

    Finally got my computer fixed so that it will run Half-Life 2; just reached the Sandtraps chapter. Still playing Morrowind a year-and-a-half after buying it. On the console front, i picked up Champions of Norrath the other day pretty cheap and once i finish my 12th (!) replay of Resident Evil...

    Gaining Claw Attacks

    If Magic of Incarnum is ok, 2 levels of totemist will give you access to a whole slew of soulmelds that grant 2-4 claw attacks.
