In the books, Boromirs death was indeed a moving moment. In the movies, it was nothing more than an excuse for another Aragorn battle scene. Boromir was the Captain Of Gondor, an unparallelled warrior among the race of Man, perhaps the greatest in the Third Age. In the movie he is reduced to...

It is unfortunate that WoTC will almost certainly not have the courage to eliminate her in the War Of The Spider Queen novels. I, for one, am tired of Lolth.

Direct correlations between the movies are absurd. Different genres, and different character types. To use a specific example below, in spoilers since not everyone has seen both Matrix movies yet: Gandalf, meanwhile, is basically an Angel descended from the Heavens to guide the mortals to...

Agent Smith is far too cool to be equated with the whimpering schizo from the LOTR movies. Everyone knows he's really more like Elrond. :p

Well, Cashel, that is where we differ. The movies mutilated all of the characters so badly from their incarnations in the books, that I simply could not enjoy most of the moments you call your favorites. Boromir in particular was an utter disgrace. PS I really think it is silly to take a...

Once, I had Ambush Bug steal of all my PCs equipment, leaving them naked in the Phantom Zone.

Shall we count the running time of those battles? Helms Deep alone is nearly an hour long. The rest of the movies are usually focused on scenery shots and special effects. The character interaction is thin at best. Then again, perhaps I blocked out those parts from my mind.

That is a really sexist position to take. Sure, one could argue that Chaotic creatures are more emotional, delicate, effeminate creatures and cannot live the structured, manly lives of Lawful folk. That Chaotic creatures naturally tend towards female leaders, who are familar with the radical...

The Lord Of The Rings movies are just good action flicks. Perhaps I am biased, but they certainly do not match the books upon which they are based.

[/b] Wrong. At the point where he has enough feats to do this, the Fighter would need to have magical gear allowing him to be effective with all of those styles. Unless the DM is giving out truckloads of items and gold to the Fighter to help him out, he is still going to only be doing one...

Out of curiousity, you do have the parties character sheets, right? As for the battle, I would agree with earlier comments that offense is key. Attacking is almost always better than defending in D&D, so strike hard and strike fast.

The number of Gods is fine. It actually makes more sense, from a world building standpoint, and provides more options for players. Forgotten Realms characters seem to be encouraged to have a personal connection to their deity, and I think that is a good thing. Almost all of the Gods are well...

I was just reading the Morningstar or Dawnforge thread, and noted that in Morningstar, the Elves are ruled over by an Empress with great and mysterious powers. I started thinking about all the other Elven cultures I am aware of, and every society they have is ruled by an archetype of the same...

The Matrix movies have been way more fun than the LOTR movies.

Most of the Titans seem to be in the 15-17 range. I think the character designs are great, and do not really see any problems.

A Paladinesque character can easily be achieved with the Guardian Heroic Path. Righteous Fury, Renown, Aura Of Courage, and so forth all fit well into that archetype. Heroic Paths are special gifts granted to PCs that allow numerous special abilities over the course of their careers. Each one...

Come on. Charisma of 18 at least. Classic. Just classic. Am I right in guessing Gerhardts comment has been edited? Because it sounds better the other way. :D

Not to mention that skill of skills, Tumble.

I still prefer the Raven-Starfire episode, but "Masks" was definitely one of the best so far. It is truly excellent that this show is improving even more from the great beginning.

The shield-sword style is already rare enough without adding extra penalties onto those who choose to use it. Why sacrifice playability for realism?
