    What's "Username HERO 2nd level"?

    Are the XP values totally gone? All I see when I hover over someone's rep dot is the level and title. No biggie, just curious.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Mousetrap #3

    Mediocre, but slightly better than last week. If it weren't for Summer Glau, I probably would've given up on the show already. I don't think the woman playing Sarah can pull off the role. It looked like there may have been a good John coming into his own angle coming this season. But it...

    Those Barnes & Noble Membership Cards

    I have one (as well as the Borders free one). Both my wife and I are readers and saved $56 on our purchases at B&N over the past year (we just renewed). 10% off a $7.00 book is $0.70; it adds up. The discounts we get are what Steve Jung said. The weekly coupons used to be more generic with a...

    What's "Username HERO 2nd level"?

    I have to say I'm curious to see how this works out. It'd probably be better if we can fit the rep stuff on two lines. Hero - 1st level (11xp) Skeleton Trooper (I'm so sick of kobolds).

    TV-Fringe--Season Premiere 9/2008

    I thought the melting was a bit much (not a gore fan in general). It seemed pretty disconnected and I was loosing interest until the woman at MD mentioned the pattern. That peaked my interest and I got sold on watching the next few episodes once Broyles invited Dunham to join his group. I...

    Defining your NPCs?

    I believe there was an article or post about the 4 things you should define for your NPCs. I can't remember where I saw it. I believe it covered things like motivation, appearance, and such. No more than a few sentences for each. It sounded simple but very effective. Can anyone point me in...

    Site extra slow today?

    I know ENWorld has server issues but there seems to be extra slowness today. Usually, there are periods where the site is slow and periods where it's blazingly fast. Today it's been all slow. Is it just me? Woot! Post 300.

    Are we all trolls?

    I don't think the issue started with the 4E announcement. I think it brought it more to the forefront. I remember several numerous page threads that ended up being pretty vitriolic before then. I think you can see example of this in any paladin ethos discussion. I usually avoid any thread...

    Stargate Atlantis Series Ending after this Season

    While reading this article about the new Stargate Universe show: http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=58972 I noticed a small blurb about Atlantis ending after this season (and continuing as at least one direct to TV movie). I have to say I'm bummed. I enjoyed the show a...

    What do you think about the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting Book

    Rich Baker's Swordmage is set in the 4E Realms. The Orc King has a chapter in the future (now current) Realms while the rest of the story takes place in 1375DR (I may be off on the exact year). I've ordered the FRCG from B&N and should get it by the end of the week. Looking forward to...

    Magic Item Powers and Milestone, when does it occur?

    Should have been more clear. I know you don't have to hit a milestone to use a magic item's daily. Just to be clear. With 2 items, I have not used either item's powers today. Thanks to a milestone, I now have two uses of triggering a magic item's daily power. Can use the daily power of item...

    How many opportunity attacks?

    Looking for some clarification. Paladin surrounded by 3 goblins. Goblin A leaves square adjacent to paladin. Paladin makes an Opportunity Attack. Goblin B leaves square adjacent to paladin. Paladin can make an Opportunity Attack. Goblin C moves through 3 squares adjacent to paladin...

    Magic Item Powers and Milestone, when does it occur?

    I was just about to ask this question. I'd like to jump in here (sorry to the OP for barging in) and write down my understanding of how magic item daily powers and milestones work to see if my interpretation seems correct. If I have one item with a daily power, after 2 encounters (milestone)...

    Forked Thread: Knowledge skills in combat

    I've been doing the same thing. I like it better and no one is complaining. I'll probably keep doing so but adding some "you think/heard its vulnerable to fire, etc.) at certain check levels.

    Has anyone attempted this? If so, how difficult was it and what types of problems did you run into? Thanks.

    Aug 2008: What are you reading?

    Finished: - Man with the Golden Torc by Simon Green Good but it feels like a merging of Hawk & Fisher with the Nightside series. Will be picking up the next book in PB. Currently reading: - Legend by David Lynn Golemon So far so good. - Player's Guide to Eberron I usually read a novel and...
