I do believe he's talking about the leech's ability to choose which NAD to target, so you can always target, if you so choose, their weakest defense. Granted, it's not always going to work out that way in practice, since you may need to use the tHP-granting attack over and over, but it gives...

I was building a leech and noticed that, at 5th level, its damage was about the same as my psion's. This seemed rather absurdly low. (I think that I could get a two-point advantage on the vampire had I not spent a feat on Durable.) Brad

I noticed our ritual usage went up the higher level we got. In heroic, we didn't use many rituals until the later part of heroic, and it just went up from there as the relative costs went down. Part of that is we do take a share of gold for ritual usage, which is convenient, and encourages...

I build my PCs usually on the character builder, but write them out onto the character sheet and manually make my own power cards (since the ones that come with the character sheet suck, IMNAAHO). Yay, making my lack of a printer into a virtue! We have a couple of laptops or netbooks at the...

I hope the 3D in the movie is better than the awful 3D in the trailer when it played with Thor on Friday. Brad

In the beginning of the most recent Hulk movie, IIRC, during the origin montage, there's a brief moment where Bruce Banner or the Hulk is running in the arctic and he goes by something that looks like a guy frozen in ice. But we'll see. Brad

How about Otto Skorzeny? Yes, he was on the wrong side, and, ahem, a Nazi, but he was pretty darn good at what he did. Brad

Titan AE had improbably ass-kicking-capable chicks? Sorry, reflex. Brad

That is it, exactly. Demonomicons for various demon princes that weren't ever going to be in a game that I played in, let alone ran, really added no value. Neither did supporting articles for Dungeon adventures that we're not using. Brad

I remember what got me to unsubscribe to the print version. When, under Paizo, all the player-focused stuff got crammed into the four "power source" columns at the end, which were one page each...maybe two, with art. And, far more often than you'd think, consisted of spell lists. Online...

The reason I think that might be is that they did provide a quasi-healer in the paladin's Lay On Hands, and with sufficient potion use, you might be able to take the low-damage monsters and run a no-Leader party. Of course, that wouldn't work with modern MM3 and DSCC monsters that can take my...

1) Perhaps said vampire spent most of his time hunting young maidens in alleys and didn't actually pay attention to the world around him. Which is, in the case of a PC, probably remarkably accurate. 2) Clerics being worse than wizards at religion really irritates me. Brad

The one thing I dislike about the Thief is that it doesn't, well, do anything other than Stab. You lose a lot of the cool handy encounter and daily attacks that do things like shove people around the battlefield, fling out clouds of daggers, and the like, in exchange for pouring out more damage...

I wonder if the initial thinking was that parties would not have a leader, and that's why the damage was low initially? Brad

Barricaded? No, a couple of years after Bug City Ares and the Army went in with insecticide and some astral bacteria and wiped out most of the bugs (obviously, not all). The walls are mostly gone, but it's still an anarchic hellscape. One of the more amusing bits from Feral Cities was that...

I don't allow those in my game. I do have a fond memory of a foolish, foolish GM who allowed me to play a free spirit in one of his games. Oh, that was ridiculously OP. I think, though, that a lot of the stuff in the splats is bringing previous gear/things back into the game from previous...

If you're interested in using Chicago, which is still messed up significantly so long after Bug City (and there are still bugs there!), then you want Feral Cities as a good resource for it. I do believe that Chicago is the most-detailed city in SR, after Seattle, of course. Running Wild has...

Yeah, I think that would be a good solution, too. Interestingly, a lot of the existing holy symbols would work pretty well augmenting weapons, too. Brad

I would have. I generally get all the player content anyway. This occasionally backfires on me, like on Magic of Incarnum or Champions of Valor. :) Brad

I have a VTT beta invite e-mail sitting in my inbox, but haven't gotten around to checking it out. Brad
