Dude, there came a point several pages ago that I stopped believing anything you posted and figured you were just making it up so as to continue posting to this thread.

But I would hope so. 270 battles. Seriously. Think about that for a minute.

The standard is that a spell requires either a ranged touch, or a save. Few require both. First level Wizard with no BAB and let's say a +2 Dex bonus vs, for example, touch AC of 12 (assuming the same +2 dex bonus) means you hit on a 10, or 55% of the time. More often than not, but hardly a...

Sometimes over analyzing things is fun.

C'mon people, am I on Mass Ignore or something? Spill!

I missed the episode because I had to work second shift today. Can someone please provide a summary? Much appreciated.

I think we're missing a fundamental connection. Rudolph's nose is red because Santa's outfit is red.

RoE is one of the most feared anti-PC spells I have seen used in groups I've played in or GM'd for. People hate having their strength nerfed. Nails two-handed weapon fighters hard enough, but it is especially great against PCs with strong bows. "Oops, now you can't use it, guess you'll have...

You know, I had to go through some mandatory Sexual Harassment training this last week. There was quite a list of behaviors that may indicate that someone is a pedophile. As I went down them, I thought "Wow, the entire list applies to Micheal Jackson. The whole frakking thing!" But now that...

Yawn. Time for a good nap. :p Sure, there are hundreds of spells these days, but like others have pointed out, there are certain spells that are just too useful NOT to be taken. Tired of Invisibility??? Come on! Isn't invisibility the very heart of legendary magic?

I clicked on this thread to recommend The Illuminatus Trilogy, only to find that others beat me to the punch. "Operation MindF***" indeed. I would recommend the I Ching, which is basically ancient Chinese philosophy disguised as an Oracle; but most translations outright suck and it requires...

Yeah, you gotta talk to him, and just him. If he insists that the game is over and you want to continue, then buck up and straight out tell him that he can quit if he wants to, but it's your game and you want to continue it. Look, the bottom line is whether or not YOU want to keep...

All I gotta say is that this is all Human Nature. Over the last few years, looking back at my situation; where and who I was, how I got there; how I got married to a clinically insane woman, then divorced; how I lost all my "friends", etc, etc, etc.... I had to face how I had done each and...

This is where I stop the game and say; "Excuse me, you have an NPC throwing a 9 die fireball at 3rd level PCs??? Just what the (insert choice of expletives) are you thinking? If this is the way you run a game, then I serious have to reconsider playing." I guess another question is whether...

Gencon 2001. Last Con I went to. Thursday: 3 slightly attractive young women in Sailor Moon outfits. Yum. Friday: Same girls, same outfits. Um? Saturday: Repeat, definitely without any 'wash, rinse'. Eeeewwwww! Sunday: Three much less than clean young women in filthy Sailor Moon...

My best bud Little Guy (b. April 1986; d. June 2006) LOVED Turkey. Whenever I had it in the house and stepped into the kitchen, he'd run up to the refrigerator and go nuts until I gave him some. In his later years, when he was having health problems, I'd sometimes buy and cook a Turkey...

Darn silly of me to read that post just before my bed time. Kinda like some twisted D20 Modern/Call of Cthulhu variant involving gamers as monsters, and probably requiring Sanity Checks.

The problem really isn't the kid, it's the stupid parent. I sincerely believe that parents of small children, especially the mothers, are the most self-absorbed, arrogant and unaware people on the planet. Their entire world revolves around their children and everyone else must be forced to bow...

Bills As others say, work out how to divide the bills. But you might also want to think about whether or not you or one of your room-mates is likely to find themselves in a situation where they (hopefully temporarily) can't pay their bills. Do you 'float' them the money until they can pay you...

Ditto what Aaron L says. Especially when you only make a 1.5% profit on taking goods to an allegedly long-isolated town. Your GM is being a JERK. If you can find out why and hash it out so that it stops being this way, then good for you. Otherwise you're probably better off finding a new GM.
