    Info posted about next season premiers of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis

    Yeah, that's towards the end of season 7. The newest episodes on scifi, friday evenings, are nearing the end of season 8. According to this list, Heroes comes after Birthright, so you're definitely getting a whacky viewing order.

    Info posted about next season premiers of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis

    Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell. I'm not going to be able to see that character without snickering. Cameron Mitchell is a guy here in columbus who owns a lot of upscale restaurants.

    Medium PC Two-Weapon Fighting with Medium Two-Handed Weapons

    A large bastard sword does 2d8 damage. A medium greatsword and a large longsword both do 2d6 damage. Monkey Grip + exotic weapon proficiency should leave you better off than just monkey grip; you've sunk two feats into it, not one, after all.

    Buckling down to work

    The advice authors give to aspiring authors is to treat writing like a job. Set up a solid block of time, every day, which is your work time. No distractions, turn off the email and the web forums, mute your phone ringer. Even if what you write is crap, you're writing. That's for a writing...

    Monk whirling steel strike

    You know, I'm looking back through the SRD, and I think I extrapolated it out of: "When using weapons as part of a flurry of blows, a monk applies her Strength bonus (not Str bonus × 1½ or ×½) to her damage rolls for all successful attacks, whether she wields a weapon in one or both hands."...

    Help Me Make a Brawling Character

    Go fighter straight through level 12 at least. Pick up improved unarmed strike, weapon focus, specialization, greater focus, greater specialization, and improved critical (unarmed strike). Improved grapple if you feel like it. You can branch into combat expertise for some tricks, or the PBS...

    Monk whirling steel strike

    They don't use it as a two-handed weapon when flurrying, they use it as a double weapon, and "each end counts as a separate weapon for the purpose of using the flurry of blows ability". So it's like wielding two clubs, basically. Unless there's something in complete warrior, I don't think...

    Medium PC Two-Weapon Fighting with Medium Two-Handed Weapons

    This is the argument people have been making since 3.5 debuted, and it remains silly. I wish I could find the picture someone here on the boards used to post to refute such sillyness, but alas, my google-fu is weak. Anybody have it? That picture of arnold the governator as conan the...

    Monks and hitting people

    Monks aren't underpowered, they just need to be played a bit smart. They have the best battlefield mobility and saves in the game. Pick up improved trip at monk 6 and use a tripping reach weapon, and you're in amazing shape. You don't even need to be proficient with the reach weapon; you're...

    Metamagic Feats to de-power spells.

    In the wonderful world of 3.5, disintegrate does 2d6/caster level on a failed save. Won't you join us there? :)

    Warlock Energy Substitution?

    On the other hand, would it be overpowered to imagine there to be a feat like energy substitution that worked for spell-like abilities? Not really. If you want to use it that way, do it.

    Metamagic Feats to de-power spells.

    It would be easier to just say it does 50% damage, ie for acid arrow you roll 2d4 and divide by 2, rather than 2d4- 2d4/2. Should be 1 level lower. In general, I like the idea, and I've done it myself in the past. There are so many metamagic and other feats that a caster could be taking that...

    Help with a Prestige Class - Students of the Perfect Cut

    I would go with too powerful. The character gives up, um, 2 skill points a level to gain a better hit die and BAB, and gives up a rogue's high level special abilities (like improved evasion et al) to gain the ability to sneak attack pretty much anything in the game, over the course of 10...

    Sundering a Magic Weapon

    Isn't that the 3.0 rule? In 3.5, each point of enhancement bonus adds 2 to hardness and 10 to hit points, so it would be hardness 12 and 15 hps.

    Tempest abilities?

    What's an invisible dagger? From which book? A tempest gets a +3 AC bonus when dual wielding, over 5 levels. Also, a +2 bonus to attacks when dual-wielding, the BAB, hps, and save progression of a fighter, two-weapon spring attack as a pinnacle ability, and "two-weapon versatility" at 3rd...

    Crothian's Fall!!!

    Right now, Crothian has 26,931 posts. If we subtly alter the postcount field in the database, to be a signed, two-byte integer (counting up to 32767), then in a mere 5,838 posts he'll roll over to -32768 and EVERYONE will have beat him.

    Mage the Ascension Question

    You can probably get it pretty cheap in a half-price/used book store. Or you can wait a couple months for Mage:the Awakening to come out, which is the new World of Darkness mage game.

    Spontaneity from open slots

    Yes. The rule is not in any way vague. It says you can convert a prepared spell.

    Spontaneity from open slots

    The time of day is when they must stop and pray- this is in place of the 8 hours of rest requirement for wizards. They also prepare spells at that time, but can leave slots open as a wizard can. It isn't stated explicitly, but they can fill them later, too, just as a wizard can.
