That's one of my pet peeves. I hate anything that interferes with the player's sense of agency over his or her character. Just pisses me off. It's not fun at all. --G

[Improved Stand Still] Prerequisite: Stand Still. Benefit: Once per round, you may use Stand Still while flat footed. Normal: You may only use Stand Still as part of an attack of opportunity. [Greater Stand Still] Prerequisite: Stand Still, Improved Stand Still, Wisdom 12 Benefit: You may...

An approach with a huge gatehouse (with no gates). It should be at least 300-500 feet wide and at least 8 stories high. The entrance, however, is only 40' wide. As you enter there are narrow (10x10) passages (sealed by heavy oaken doorways) off to either side. Beyond the passages, all you...

Actually, they hired him because he'd come up with an extremely intriguing, well designed little card game. I think it was called Magic, or something. See, he used his skills as a mathematician to develop the game. Prior to doing that he was just a professor at a liberal arts college. --G

That's my take on it too. I think the level of flux we're dealing with is a "does this merit a +1 or a +2" level, not a "screw it! We're going to the d12 system!" --G

Didn't Rich Baker say something about not being able to kill Bane unless you had the right set of artefacts, and went about it in the right way (perhaps even needing the involvement of the properly prophesied members of the correct bloodline)? --G

I have a more sinister theory. I suspect that the shooter was none other than a version of Peter from an alternate timeline! He was dressed like Peter and (at least to my eye) looked like him. That would also explain Ma Petrelli's comment about opening Pandora's box. --G

Based on what he said on his livejournal, probably nothing. Ari won't be around for a while. --G

Actually, the reason this last episode felt so choppy is that it is an alternate ending they hastily filmed pre-strike. That's why Peter never gets closure with Caitlin. This was the last episode to go in the can. There are no new scripts beyond what we saw tonight. Historically, when the...

Well, given that this is, quite possibly, the last episode of Heroes we'll ever see, I don't know that there's much hope. Writers' strikes are usually a death knell for shows in a current (at the time of the strike) line up. I think the reason we had two volumes scheduled this year was that...

Pretty much. The key here is that not all wizards will be in platemail. Some (probably few) wizards will choose to invest feats into being able to wear armor. Others (probably many) will choose to invest those same feat slots into being able to alter the fabric of reality with their...

I'll grant you the first of your comments. But World of Warcraft is where it is today only because it stands on Everquest's shoulders. As for your second comment, it's patently incorrect. Everquest is the game that brought computer gaming out of the nerdzone and into the mainstream. Consider...

Sorceror isn't a bad dip for a P/A fighter, if only to pick up 4 True Strikes daily. --G

Except that knowing your audience doesn't mean that you necessarily know the best way to implement what your audience wants. A good example of that would be the "Complete Psion." To my mind, the idea was fantastic, and just what I wanted. Sadly, the execution of the product was sorely...

Of course we have puppies. What do you think the tieflings eat? --G

So wait a minute. We're comparing an entirely random ordering of numbers (the lottery) with the activities of a relatively small group of people with rational motivations and an overriding theory of design to determine that the actions of the people will be like the numbers? This seems foolish...

Eerily similar to one of my early D&D experiences. About 15 years ago, I was playing in a friend's homebrew setting. I was the chaotic, impulsive rogue type (actually a fire wizard). At one point during this game, I nearly killed the entire party (three times in about 10 minutes) after...

Sigg'd. --G

Let me second this. Two years ago, I had a Radeon 9800 with 512MB of ram. I also had the PSU that came with my case (I couldn't even tell you the brand). The Radeons were pretty finicky about just precisely how much power they were drawing, and long story short, my video card lasted about 7...

How many swords would a swordchucker chuck if a swordchucker could chuck swords? --G
