    [OT] Upon watching PJ butcher another's work.

    My nick is the name of my first DnD character, and it's a fairly random collection of symbols. But I'm getting the feeling you're not here for any discussion, just to sling flames.

    [OT] Upon watching PJ butcher another's work.

    Just to add to this, on the commentary on the 4-disc version, there are some *horribly* frightening suggestions about some of the things that were almost done. Here's two I remember. 1.) Ian McKellen talking about how they seriously considered having Gandalf give up smoking to "modernize" the...

    [OT] Upon watching PJ butcher another's work.

    Good point, although I think it's that change to the movie's continuity that bothers me. They removed the "additional" caves in order to support Theoden's newly-written weaknesses. He *PARDONS* Wormtongue in the book. He gives him the option of swearing his allegiance, and riding with him to...

    [OT] Upon watching PJ butcher another's work.

    Just to throw into some support for Celebrim here, Didn't ANYBODY notice that instead of being a noble king of Rohan, Theoden was reduced to a doddering, worthless old fool? Instead of sending his people to safety in the caves, and going himself to Helm's Deep, he brings them with him to...

    WotC's Announcement re. the Revised Core Rulebooks

    Hmm. Score another one for the vocal minority, I suppose.

    Miasma effect

    Hmm, never really saw it that way. I always thought the second part of the description was sort of re-emphasizing the consequences if you tried to breathe. It seems odd that if you just cough and spit, nothing bad happens other than you can't do that, but if you hold your breath, *then* try to...

    Expert Tactician and Sneak Attack

    Re: :;sigh:: Wow, not only has that situation been resolved, but we've made peace very happily, thank you. Who's being difficult now?

    What is the morality of this situation?

    Seriously, I don't see a problem here. The PCs acted within their alignments, and stopped the slaughter of what sounds like thousands. hee hee, if you really want to get them on alignment, ask them why they sent a weapon of such incredible power to hell, placing it in the hands of devils...

    I'm annoyed at archers.

    Unless, of course, they've errata'd the DMG, and changed that EXACT line to say that slashing AND piercing weapons can be made keen. Oh look, they did. :p

    Shield Spell -- was wondering...

    Cover bonus! Cover bonus! All in the descriptor! No stacking of the same, without the DM's favor!

    I'm annoyed at archers.

    They errata'd this. Arrows can be Keen now.

    Shield Spell -- was wondering...

    Your rogue he can do, with a Shield scroll or two, but if he blows the roll, he's out 25 gold. :p

    Shield Spell -- was wondering...

    Range doesn't change, on the scroll for the mage, It's only for you, not your twink fighter too. :D :D :D

    Do you think Haste is too powerful as is?

    I just noticed this. You are deranged. Sick, sick sick. :p Can't we all just get along?

    GMW vs Keen - why the duration disparity?

    You should post this in the "annoyed about archers" thread. It's the core of the entire conversation over there. :cool:

    Do you think Haste is too powerful as is?

    Not at all. :cool: But I'm not a stone-cold lunatic, and *refuse* to advocate the posting of a poll. :p but you *task* me......

    Do you think Haste is too powerful as is?

    Re: Re: Re: Re "Everyone". That's all. I'm not really debating here, but when you say "everyone", you trigger the same incredulous response that I had so long ago that caused *me* to post this poll. Everyone's a lot of people. I disagree with that. I absolutely, positively refuse to argue...
