I've been reading the 'Zavant' and 'Felix and Gotrek' books lately. This got me interested enough in Warhammer that I picked up the Second Edition rulebook when I found it for half price at a local bookstore. I love the feel of the world and its grittiness; there are definitely a few places...

Just wanted to comment on this one twice. I really agree with the first comment. And the second comment as well, though that's still too high. I can Kip Up, with no training, no martial arts background, and I'm only in semi-good shape. On top of that, I'm what, an Expert 2 by D&D rules? It...

I'm still trying to figure out why Valor likes him more now. As far as I can tell, it was an Axiomatic blade of some stripe. Especially since it's called out in one of the stat blocks that it deals an extra 2d6 vs. Chaotic opponents. And Wererats are chaotic evil. (According to the latest...

The closest I came was in a recent game where my character was being slowly nickel-and-dimed to death by a thief using a very expensive returning dagger. Finally getting tired of him pursuing and attacking me each round, I turned around and readied an action for his next attack. When he threw...

There were three ships lost during the trip through the star cluster in an episode just before the season end. Perhaps they realized that they got lost and their raptor wasn't going to find them and jumped out blindly before they all fried from the radiation. That gives you a civilian ship --...

I'm going to guess that the prisons of Azure City are just *slightly* better built and reinforced than the ones in a random city. Not to mention that the Paladin Order that guards the place is a little less likely to be frightened of a fake disease -- especially since they're immune. (Or can...

I love Thog. And I love tactics from the dwarf. :)

I think Dar giving up the gemstone just explained his expanded vocabulary and wits lately. He got it off a priest in the temple of Orcus. Anyone want to wager on the likelihood of it being a WIS-booster? Although I have to really chuckle at the guy under the effect of the Wisdom-boosting item...

Actually, based on the latest update... I'm betting something happens before too long and Talen gets sent to whatever reward awaits him past the mortal realm. Then, so that he'll get his EARTHLY rewards, Dar takes over the insurgency. That would make him the "General". It's still possible...

The two other possibilities that occurred to me... Tiros died with Valor in hand, as I recall. It is possible that his soul was trapped in the blade and has come to its own agreement with Dar, so to speak. Or the blade could have awakened as intelligent and have a high enough ego to stomp all...

Did Dar change alignments? Or did Valor? I'm confused about that part and would like a little illumination -- if it doesn't spoil anything.

I don't care if he's a Servant of Grazz't or not. He's a full arcanist and he opposes Orcus. I'm sincerely hoping that he's going to join the party as soon as they figure out that they're not enemies. It would be nice to have a full caster in one of LB's storyhours. Keep up the good work, LB!

I really can't recommend the Freeport module enough. Uh... Death in Freeport, maybe? I can't recall the exact title. But it's a great investigation module that ends up with some significant fighting. Gives a lot of opportunity for character interaction, followed up by clearing out an old...

Does anyone else read the above text and immediately think it would make a ridiculously awesome character (or even campaign) concept? The old wizard looks around with his mighty intellect at all the varied magical theories, proofs, prayers, insignia, etc of the varied 'disciplines' of magic...

Are you kidding? Every single fight in this place has pushed them to the very limits of healing and endurance. No sneak attack. No arcane spells. You can go a long way with nothing but hit point sponges and healers, but at the rate they're burning through their resources in EVERY FIGHT...

My personal favorite is that Sylar isn't just insane... that he's eating the brains of people for a reason. Imagine if the first 'super' found by the professor has the ability to find other 'supers' and then gain their powers permanently by consuming their brains. The show has already linked...

Yeah, but when have we ever seen him use his class abilities EFFECTIVELY? He apparently sings in combat and he uses (poorly) his Inspire Competence ability for skill checks. That's it. To use Fascinate and Suggestion... I think that would be beyond his comprehension. :) And I agree with...

Or possibly weakened his magic, as he was torn apart by grief. Not to mention his probable feelings of guilt over having not done enough to prevent Dumbledore's death. Personally, I love the series. It's not the best literature ever written, but I would put it high on my list of 'favorite...

*Does a happy dance* Yeah, more story hour! And I'd give a lot to have a photo of PC's face when you asked for the Reflex Save to avoid a falling goat... of all the phrases a player DOESN'T expect to hear!

Ayup. I may mostly lurk these days, but I'm still here and have all three tales under my belt. And this, for what it's worth, is my favorite so far. Now just put a full-progression arcanist in there that doesn't get massacred right off the bat and I'll be ecstatic. :)
