Thank you two for your hard work. Those are pretty cool! I tried to give you XP, AeroDM, but alas, I can't until I spread more love around.

Thank you so much! I really like this.

Did anyone leave after? That way, I know who the terrorists are, and that they're mannerly folk. Really, I'd just hoped to derail the weirdly burgeoning hostility.

I very often have problems with ENworld failing to load at all. I also have pretty good broadband at home, as well as a T3 connection when I'm up in Boston. On the up side, it keeps me from posting silly (of the unfunny sort) things, so it's not all bad for me. Still, I would like to be able to...

:( I really didn't expect a maths question to turn into 2 pages of argument about points of order.

I really like picking my inventory--but I hate the really nitpicky stuff, like determining encumbrance. (Luckily, there are spreadsheets which will take care of that stuff now.) Games where I have some control over the specs of the equipment (like D&D) and can do some customizing (BESM) are even...

Well... My question is regarding 3.5, not any other edition. Running the game, I'd probably be comfortable allowing improved crit to stack with other crit-enhancing feats, but not with itself. At any rate, I kindly ask that any terrorist inhabiting my topic please depart swiftly with no more...

Thank you for humoring my curiosity. Unfortunately, I have to love around a bit before I can give you more XP, kitcik. Not sure how lightning mace would work for scimitars unless it were houseruled to apply. Suppose it could function admirably. I never noticed the difference between those two...

I just noticed that the PHB and the revised Bastion arms and equipment guide list the longsword and scimitar at the same price and weight, yet the longsword deals 1d8 damage and the scimitar deals 1d6. The critical range for the scimitar is 1 point wider (18 - 20) than the longsword. In a...

You've got me on the dispel, but the rest aren't just a temporary inconvenience--well, barring a cleric handy with resurrection...

Which could likewise work on a weapon. Or an anti-magic field. Or a Mordenkainen's disjunction. It's hard out there in a spell-slinger's world.

That problem is what I liked about the Stargate: Atlantis show. At least in theory, if not in practice. Get cut off from the usual command structure... Command falls to the next highest ranking officer (or enlisted, if no officers remain!)... Lots of fieldwork, lots of variety in that fieldwork...

A friendly bump for more scary goodness. :3

I dig the dice game. Not really a fan of the new numbering system on the die, since it's harder for me to ID the values at a glance, but I still like me some dice poker--and I don't even like to gamble. Enemies in chapter 1 respawn because you're supposed to be moving forward, given that it's a...

In your example, though, the issue wasn't a plot one (AFAICT), but a mechanical one--and a dick move by the DM. Hopefully it was an outlier. I am of two minds on the plot thing. I don't want to ruin surprises for my players. I usually give build suggestions during character creation, and will...

If the line's blurred rather than clear, that's "weak." I did not write that it's nonexistent. I can see where you're coming from elsewhere--but I think you may be taking what I said about making suboptimal choices to the extreme. I never (deliberately) make a crappy character. I also haven't...

Personally, I'm shy in face to face interactions. Roleplay is easier for me over chat and forum interfaces; I can get into it more. The people I play with are all fast readers and great typists--and I think they tend to be on the more introverted side IRL as well. Without online gaming, I would...

Yeah, if I had to go by 'in the flesh,' I've done that maybe 5 times in the last 2 years--a generous estimate, at that! And only once this year. Online (and in no particular system), I play in a weekly BESM game over AIM, have a 3.5e game starting Saturdays, and several PbP games going on all...

Cast an enchantment on the monk and then cast permanence. Voila! Perfect Weapon. ;D

As a player, I have a pretty low-key ego. I like to design a character around my initial concept as far as I can; that means I sometimes make suboptimal choices--deliberately. I am also comfortable playing a character who can't go toe-to-toe with the hydra mentioned previously--everyone has a...
