Still, I'm not sure that Boromir could ever be described in terms of being a 'barbarian.' Rage just doesn't work, IMO. However, the feat that lets you keep moving after getting below 0 HP works for me (it's from FRCS I think), and the entire scene can be explained using it as well. Boromir...

At low levels we tend to ignore the whole 'ammunition' thing, as arrows/bullets etc, aren't too terribly hard to come by. The rules about 'aiding' another player (for either a +2 to attack or a +2 to ac) aren't used much, but they're gaining momentum. Most of the ususal suspects from...

:D Texas certainly does have its share of enormous bugs, doesn't it? Having spent much of my life in Houston, I've gotten used to it I guess. Nothing quite like watching a giant hornet (2-3" long) fly about, kill a fully grown locust, drag it up a chair (not quite strong enough to fly off...

I think a friend of mine said it best when we had this discussion a few weeks ago. "I can't seem to tell the difference between hunger and boredom." It's a vicious cycle. Bored? Turn on the tv. Then the learned response of "much food while watching TV" kicks in, and by the first...

This from the SRD: [/b] Wall of force, hmm? Does that mean that you gain some of the extra bennies as per the spell? Can a well placed disintegrate destroy the manifested part of the ring? Can it block magic missiles like the 'shield' spell? :D -F

Regardless of the monk's somewhat arse-heavy level mentality, I still think that taking one level of monk can greatly enhance several classes. This assumes that your DM has house ruled that silly 'no multiclassing' restriction. Though this might be somewhat meta, just think about it for a...

That's a pretty good comparison actually. What I meant by 'bypass' is that it allows the one power to be used in an otherwise off-limits area. However, the use of a ter'angreal, imo, still shows that Far Madding isn't a 'power free zone' like a Stedding, which is why I expect that the wells...

Good question, that. I've been wondering about that myself. My guess is that it won't be able to retroactively cure anyone, but it'll halt the further deterioration of the male channelers. Another thought is that the taint will continue to exist until all of the tainted channelers have used...

I've never heard of the "encyclopedia arda" but I'm almost totally certain that the Tolkien Bestiary says that Balrogs DO have wings... and they take their information from the books! I might be mistaken though. I'm at work so I can't check. However, considering the amount of accuracy...

I'm not gonna buy the first DVD, but I still plan to own it. Kia, baby, Kia. -F

Isn't this the 'non-rpg' based discussion board though? A discussion about the WoT rpg should take place in the d20 system forum, not here. I'll participate in the discussion if you post there, though. -F

You should think about detailing these feats as well: "Can't spell 'Rogue'" "Improved 1st Grade Grammar" "Can't spell at all" "Snotty English Major" :D -F (I picked up that last one with my BA :D)

I tried to make a speech once. We had just run across the awakned shade of some old undead warrior/king guy. Evil to the core. After he made his speech announcing that he intended to revive some old evil dead god and destroy the world (basically), I launched into what the DM later referred...

Hear, hear! I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Lately I've felt like many of the DM's who post on this board are more interested in 'balance' than in providing fun gamplay for their players. Now I'm not condoning having a crazy wild bard of uber freakiness take monkey grip so that...

Oh yes... let's bring age into this. After all, age is the be-all and end-all of maturity insofar as humor is concerned. Right. Or do you simply define "jeuvenile" (sic) behavior as something you personally dislike? If you believe the former, then you need to reexamine a little thing I like...

Yup... that's it. At anyrate, even if you weren't immune to acid damage, it doesn't mention anything about being instantly melted or otherwise insta-killed. So, I think a 'fort save or die' approach might be a little too extreme. -F

I may be totally wrong, but I seem to remember some rulebook or another mentioning, off hand, the possibility of someone *drowning* in acid. It was such a vividly wrong image that I pointed it out to my DM and we both had a laugh over it. Unfortunately I'm at work though, and can't peruse...

You should check out the channeling system from Wheel of Time. It's slick, and it incorporates a lot of the features you want... more or less. Really the most free-form magic system that I can think of off the top of my head is the Ars Magica system, which allows you to do most anything you...

Can't stand autobots? Why am I not surprised. Sigh... you're so predicable, B. :rolleyes: As for me... Decepticons: Starscream, Soundwave, Laserbeak Autobots: Hotrod (NOT rodimus), Jetfire (yay macross!), Grimlock -F

I really like Haela... War AND Luck domains. Good stuff. Anyone want to venture a guess as to why someone with the name 'brightaxe' has a greatsword as their favored weapon though? -F
