    Round 14 Is Over

    *wipes the egg from his face* Well that was a mistake, wasnt it? (I keep forgetting Ambi got nerfed. Shows what edition I've been playing lately.) Ok, so you dont need ambi. And yes, TWD is NOT necesary to pull off a TWF fighter. However, if you are going to create such a fighter, then it...

    Round 14 Is Over

    Well for me, its not so much that I find Precise shot more useful so much as I find TWF less useful. (I mean if TWF finally goes away, Ill likely put in a bid for PS, as I dont think it goes far enough in the right direction.) Right now its the lesser of two evils. Look, to use TWF properly...

    What are you reading (May 2005)

    *Goes to his bookshelf...one...two...three...darn it all!* I forgot about that one. Yeah Ive read it. Rats now I have another one to go digging for. So a revision: Do you know how annoying it is to have parts 2-9 of a series but not #1 or #10? :)

    Where are the WotC Spell Templates?

    I'm sorry guys, but $15 bucks for a bit of wire? Like they said before, some pliers and a coathanger is all I need. (And it doesnt take as long as you might think.) However, Kudos to the guys who found a way to make money off of this!

    Round 13 is Over

    Wulf, if you play an archer (As I recently did) you will find out how necesary precise shot is. As it is, there are only a few on the top of my list, and since I can only vote once...it still has to be Two-Weapon Fighting!!! I mean it doesnt sound like much, but in my experience, the -4 makes...

    The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Dungeon

    Dragons The Encyclopedia Arcane (and its supplement, the Codex of Inane Monstrosities) will go on at length about the natural habitat of dragon, their preferred food source, and even goes so far as to list over 5,000 varieties of dragon in the know universe. It says that among other things...

    Round 12 is OVER!

    Its not that I hate it, Wulf...more like I just dont like having to have so many other feats to make it work well...When I build a TWF fighter, you can bet I always try to get it. But then, I usually play spellcasters, so...

    Round 12 is OVER!

    As I said before...even if you take <b>Two-Weapon Fighting</b>, you still dont get a true dual wielder without other feats. You dont do enough, you lazy smelly feat!

    What are you reading (May 2005)

    I enjoyed the first several of those...after a while though, I started finding it repetitive. On another note, I just found a copy of 'nine princes in amber.' Finally my collection is complete (well, sans the prequals anyway)! Do you have any idea how annoying it is to own books 2-9 of a...

    Special Round is Over!!

    I feel the same way about Combat Reflexes.... Heighten Spell for me...thats what I want to see back, though its bound to get outvoted by the power attack/imp init crowd. Spellcasters are just too much fun, and any way I can get to be certain their spells go off is a good thing.

    Round 11 is OVER

    Ah, thats the thing, though...I thought it was simply extra attacks if they provoke, not once if they move, once more if they drink a potion, once more if.... So I stand by my vote. And now I know better.

    Round 11 is OVER

    Ok, Ill jump in now... First..Two-Weapon Fighting...you mean to tell me its really that much harder to wield two pointy sticks in a fight? And it doesnt even solve the problem, you still need other feats to pull it off properly! Buh-Bye. Combat Reflexes...this one bugs me. I misread it for...

    Hitchhikers Book Question

    ya, that about sums it up... I am a big fan of the books as well, but even the last two are difficult for me to swallow. They arent nearly as witty or interesting as the others. The only good part is the somewhat karmic ending at Stavro Meuler Beta (and if you dont remember it was agrajag who...

    What are you reading (May 2005)

    Right now, A Forest of Stars, book 2 of the Saga of Seven Suns by Kevin J. Anderson. I hope to get through it and the next one before the 4th comes out in June. I never read any of Andersons work before this. I avoided the Dune prequals, because I just wasnt that impressed with the actual...

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (merged)

    When I came out of the movie, I was dissapointed. I soo much wanted to see the first book in its entirety on the screen. (The kicker is I kept telling myself not to...but hey.) That dissapointment dealt with, I realized I had a great time during the movie. A lot of the lines got shortened...

    That was a King story? I read it years ago...thought it was by someone else.

    Ah...that explains where my brother in law came up with the 'trench-bucket.'

    Yeah that's right, I killed a DRAGON single handed

    Actually its an hour and a half, with the extra half hour of 'making of' stuff after. www.dragonsarecoming.com go there, and youll see the making of videos anyway without watching it Saturday. And I guess you dont watch APL much...they've been pimiping the dragons special for over a month...
