Oops. This might have been my first double post, but my web browser was crashing repeatedly for some reason this morning. I throw myself on the mercy of the boards.

This is something from the movies not from the original short story. Though it was one of the more interesting additions from the movies. The origin of the cenobites in the original story is never explained AFAIK. The Hellbound Web | Encyclopædia | "The Hellbound Heart" There was also a series...

I didn't say he was an ace pilot, but when Lelouch takes the field and it isn't Suzaku opposing him, the other side does seem to get pretty consistently creamed. Likewise when Suzaku is facing off against non-named rebels or other forces. Just like so far in Gundam 00. The Leo piloted by main...

Another way of looking at it was the attitude towards wizards with swords in Larry Niven's "The Magic Goes Away" series. Basically, if you are a wizard you don't need it (you have MUCH better ways of killing people). So if you have one, you are "compensating" for something... None of this...

I always liked the Cenobites from the "Hellraiser" movie series (based on the Clive Barker short story "The Hellbound Heart"). It comes across better in the short story, but the Cenobites aren't so much evil, as so alien that their concept of pleasure is torture to humans.

I'm pretty sure that none of the Companies wizards wore armor, except perhaps for Silent who might have worn the equivalent of leather armor. The Lady in the Books of the South, definitely does do magic while wearing armor. But that was also after she became "mortal". I'm pretty sure none of...

Do you realize who you were talking to?

So you find the outcome to not-be obvious in CG when it's Lelouch vs non-named characters or likewise for Suzaku? Or the Gundam pilots vs grunts in Wing? I mean when exactly do grunts ever stand a chance vs the heroes? People still make jokes about the ineffectiveness of the Leos in Gundam Wing...

The entire group is now 16th. They were all recently updated in the Rogues Gallery thread. http://www.enworld.org/forum/plots-places/182305-rogues-gallery-shilsens-saturday-story-hour.html

Well it lets you do stuff like True Strike in the same round you toss off your touch spell, so it minimizes the chance you waste that polar ray, vampiric touch or disintegrate. It's good for synergistic spells like that. It can give you the opportunity to respond to get up a protective spell...

Yeah, you can also use their armor to repair the combat armor you get from saving the mercs. Which seems to be the best non- powered armor. But be careful you don't wind up using the merc armor to repair some of the Talon armor. That sucked and cost me a good hour or two of backtracking.

Yes, I can read what you posted at the same time I was posting. Thank you for making sure there was no chance I might not realize I had made a mistake. Is there any particular reason you feel the need to grind home this point?

If your DM is any good and is using stuff from the draconomicon, then just commit suicide and save yourself the hassle of getting the stuffing beaten out of you. Seriously, unless your DM is an idiot or is hamstringing the dragon somehow you are toast. The draconomicon has a LOT of HORRIBLY...

Well it does depend on what you expect to be doing I guess. If you are fighting armies or anything like that, widen spell is massively useful and can be quite nice in other situations as well. Especially with battlefield control spells. Maximize is always nice (though in 3.5 a maximized...

I would go by the Scroll example, since they are very similar. Wizards cannot use divine scrolls even if it is a spell on their list and vice versa. So I guess I would say no you can't. That said, I don't really see the harm of letting them use it or the point of preventing it. We're not...

I've heard nothing about them having bought less than the full run of Season 1. Now Season 2 (which is airing currently in Japan) I've heard nothing about and I strongly suspect it depends on the ratings that Gundam 00 draws. Bandai isn't known for letting gundam stuff go for cheap.

That's how it's pronounced, not how it's spelled. Pronunciations aren't very useful for google searches on a topic.

I thought the spelling might possibly be ambiguous so I mentioned it. Though "08th MS Team" does normally only get one zero in the title, are you referring to the full unit designation?

I was referring to the characters to seach with, not the pronunciation. Besides I'm from the Colonies, not old blighty.

A quick google will give you all the spoilers you could ask for and a better summary than I can provide. I've only seen the first few eps. But several of the Gundam series (wing and SEED), were about 50% taken straight from the original (or Universal Century : UC) set of series and that is...
