Yeah, that. Though, honestly, I think the WLD has the best explanation of it, despite it being to expensive to be practical.
Oh, and....
LIVE FOR THE SWARM!!!
Even better: ditch the d20-style magic altogether, and go with the system from Mage: The Ascension (one of White Wolf's old WoD games). It's the most fun one I've ever experienced.
I'm considering dying my hair black, because right now it's really dark brown, like it wants to be black, but can't quite do it. I hate noncomittal extensions of myself.
Dr. Rodney McKay
Since Ford has ceased to be a main character, Rodney has taken over being Shepherd's lapdog. That aside, he is a brilliant scientist, and his uniqueway of doing things (i.e. testing a personal force field by putting it on and having Shepherd shoot him) often leads to answers...
49 - Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Stargate: Atlantis)
The leader of Atlantis expedition, and easily the most qualified to deal with the new cultures they would be encountering (she worked for the UN previously), she also provides an important counterpoint to some of the other, more extreme members of...

Eroin nods her head in agreement. "I say we walk as well. I only have four days worth of rations, but I can hunt for food if necessary."
ooc: gotta love a monk with ranks in survival... ^_^
"We might as well get going. We have a long road ahead of us."
DragonMech d20 (from Goodman Games) - This is a high-quality campaign setting. It's got several points on Greyhawk: (1) Mechs (this requires no qualification, ever); (2) The City-Mech adventure setting (this is distinct from point 1, since it's not a truly pilotable entity, more just a giant...
"I agree with Hulgyr. If we go to where the boat was last seen, we might be able to shed some more light on this investigation."
Following this statement, Eroin clams up, embarrassed at saying so much at one time.
I always thought it stood for nub-cake.
Oh, Nebraska... I'd probably be more sympathetic if I wasn't forced to go on a road trip to there (from New York) every damn summer...
