"This." I second the "If You Know What I Mean And I Think You Do [Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge]". PC = Pirate Cat has come up a few times, too, just to confuse things ("I was typing on my PC about my PC when PC closed the thread :( ") "Klunk", too, might need explanation. On the other hand, maybe...

Stupid internet, making us all jerks. Ah well. That's what it was invented for. (Pedantically: we have nothing but your words to judge you by -- so choose them extra smartfully!)

In my groups, we've had genderbending both ways, with more men playing female characters than women playing males. It generally worked out better for the female players, in that the rest of the group adapted to calling their character a "he" more readily. That said, it worked out pretty well...

That really gets up your nose, doesn't it? Ah well, I'd better not rile you up -- I have no illusions about your ability to put me down :) Sorry.

Glad you had fun! I think my biggest complaint about this edition will end up being art direction. I've decided that there are enormous tracts of fluff I'm perfectly fine with (most of the monsters. Feel free to disagree with me, but I see almost every change as a neutral-or-better. Some of the...

Hmm. I think I need more details, but... I tried so hard to be good. As a girlchild, my mother's blood made me an outcast among my father's people, even in the greatest cities. To have children make the sign of the horns at your back when you leave, to have them spit before you to ward off the...

But it doesn't, really. The sales rankings are hard data: Did people buy this or not? The customer review rankings are a lot more susceptible to emotional hoo-ah; acceptance on the number relies on accepting that the field of contributors towards that number are acting rationally. As a fully...

Have you ever sat down and tried to define the word "because"? Sometimes things that are perfectly meaningful and easy in use are hard to describe to someone who hasn't yet gotten the Magic Eye. Not that reading is normally a Magic Eye. :)

I'm sorry to hear about both Amazon and the canceled preorder. I'm disappointed (in some ways) with the books as products, but if I can prognosticate for a moment: You might want to think about ordering the books again in, oh, October -- the chassis is pretty sweet (especially if you were...

This is not a bump. It is a divot. You just live in the negative universe.

In fairness, that extra couple of damage could easily be 4-6 times your wisdom bonus. That's a lot of damage. (breakdown: You cast cloud of knives, hitting the enemy for d6+Int. Enemy takes damage on his turn from the cloud (+Wis), does something to the fighter who is there. Probably can't...

Uh... I see you've corrected your misapprehension? :)

And they often are. Often isn't the same as always, though -- have you seen how much a walking stick costs in a store? Usually it's not even that processed, maybe a little sanded.

No they don't. Or, at more length: Each role feels very different from each other role (I haven't played more than one class in each role, so I can't comment on that; I suspect very highly that they feel different too, but can't subjectively prove it ;) ). Fighters soak up a lot of damage...

Me no speek english so good on mondays. So bear with me :) Just because you don't like marking doesn't mean it doesn't do its job. Wizards get rituals for free, several teleportation powers, and the ability to set enormous tracts of land on fire with only the power of their mind. This ignores...

It is if you're Catholic. Five to ten in the Big House, no time off for good behavior. After all, it is through faith alone and not deeds... Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, don't forget to post your bills on the way out!

Man, this story just gets weirder and weirder. Family, I think I love you a little. How many of you are there in there?

Oh, you mean the one that makes Charwoman Gene even more right? That's why this is such a persnickety topic of law, after all. But, yeah -- it's still not a great thing to do. C'mon, WotC, publish some _legal_ pdfs -- or, even better, structured text of some sort -- of your books! Please? :)

Amen.

Weeeeelll... There are a very large class of "my d20 plus my bonuses doesn't exceed the AC of my foe" misses for which it's quite easy to deal the damage anyway: foes using armor and shields. Nobody ever claimed those made you the nimble dodging master, which means that there's no reason to...
