50 specific Xoom apps...no, that's not much.....but everything I've read is that there are more on the way. I'm not proselytizing here. People have their own individual needs etc. Both my partners (in business) have iPad 2's and love them. However, one of them buys anything that has the...

That's good to know. I know the iPad 2 had a brighter, more vibrant screen than the Xoom appeared to have...however, that's with the caveat that the demo iPad 2's screen background was a very bright image, whereas the Xoom had a black screen with glowy blue interface......so I can't say it's a...

To be clear.....I'm not qualified to say it's *better*. Just that I have it, and I like it. I tend to try free versions of stuff, and if I like it enough, I then buy. I use my phone as a personal organizer. What I like about Awesome Note is that I can easily add notes, or use it to add...

I have Awesome Note, and it's pretty good. Banshee

Does anyone have the Xoom? I was looking at it at Future Shop today, and several features in it compared fairly favourably in comparison to the iPad 2. I liked how the Home, back buttons etc. were interface buttons, as opposed to a physical button like on my iPhone. I also liked the tabbed...

Exactly....if the bad guys have wizards, they're going to know about Rope Trick and the other means of making camps, and they're going to be looking for them. It's not going to be a mystery. Banshee

Just started At the Gates of Darkness by Raymond Feist. Banshee

Name of the Wind was excellent! Banshee

I was sure I saw a company talking about it on these boards a few weeks ago. It was a company that has mainly been known for miniatures, I thought. Banshee

Go Habs!! I suspect they can get past Boston, if Chara doesn't go head hunting again....but I'm not so sure about getting past Philly. Banshee

I'd tend to agree.....except that the suggestions of manners of protecting scrolls etc. that have been suggested have been sometimes far fetched (in terms of medieval technology levels). Yes, I know fireballs are also far fetched. But one just has to decide what level of technology is...

It's a valid point. I guess where I have difficulty, is that *in my campaigns*, fighters were *very* effective. Thus, I didn't really see the need to strengthen them. But if it's a problem in your game, give them more class skills, or simply create feats like the ones I mentioned from...

I can't claim to speak for the 4E version, as I haven't seen it. I *can* say that 3E assumed post Faction War....but that doesn't mean the Factions are gone......just that they're no longer in charge, and certain ones have been destroyed or merged. The guide to Sigil was an invaluable book to...

Sigil is a pretty good place to break expectations. Playing some NPCs counter to type will really convey the impression that they're not in kansas anymore. Possibly they run afoul of a Celestial....one serving a Power other than their own..maybe one from an opposed sphere..... Maybe they can...

I guess it depends on the individuals involved and their expectations. If the DM is open about the fact that items saves etc. are included, right from the start of the game then it's no surprise. I told my players when they joined that I enforce item saves, I enforce encumbrance, needing to...

Yes....Bargle set the paradigm :) I'm pretty sure even in earlier editions, fighters were still the ones more succeptible to charms and other types of magic. I think anything System Shock related (ie. Save vs. Petrify/Polymorph) they had better saves than Mages and others....but for Save vs...

Warblade? All the classes from BoNS utilize nigh magical type melee abilities. Warblade is likely the least mystical of them, but many of the abilities in the Diamond Mind school and Stone Dragon school are pretty magical in nature. I thought we were talking about fighters here....not...

You mean guys like Charlemagne, Beowulf, Sigurd, Ivanhoe, etc.? What about Arn Magnusson? Now, some of these guys I'd term "Cavaliers"......but that's not a class in core 3E......so, fighter. Then there's Lancelot, Gawain, and several others of the Knights of the Round Table. Some, such as...

This I can see. Everyone is going to have different findings. I *do* think that part of it has to be affected by bias. But it goes in support of different systems depending who you talk with. Play whatever is fun for you. Personally, I didn't like the loss of item saving throws. This was...

Are we talking fantasy characters? Comic books? Or "historical fiction"? There are plenty of historical fiction characters who classify very well as fighters. Banshee
