    Incorporeal monsters

    Except for when it's attacking. If it's attacking, it no longer has total cover, as some part of it has to come up through the floor to inflict the attack - be it fingers, an arm or whatever. Thus meaning a readied action can nail it, though it may require a spot check to see it in time. But...

    Incorporeal monsters

    Unless the creature can see through that floor, readied actions will still apply, as the undead won't have the unerring ability to slide an incorporeal hand up through an all too corporeal foot - meaning either at least parts of a limb become visible while seeking out a foot, or a face will...

    Greatest Character Showdown Final Round Results!

    My prediction was Batman from the beginning of this whole thing. I wasn't entirely off, at least. Of course, it also helps that Batman was my #1 out of the entire list. I have a soft spot for the "normal" mortal standing as a peer to the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman. In a genre where the...

    How is any alignment more X than another?

    Eh. I don't necessarily think all the alignments are "equal" when it comes to acting a certain way. Generally speaking, I find any alignment with one aspect of neutrality to be the best representative of that alignment; that is, a neutral good individual is more good than lawful good, lawful...

    He's freaking Odysseus, that's how. I'd certainly place him above Gollum, at least. Same with Malcolm Reynolds. Anyway. 1. Captain Jack Sparrow vs. Conan 2. Batman vs. Gandalf 3. Odysseus vs. Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds 4. Han Solo vs. Indiana Jones

    They do think of the TV show, though. However, every episode I've tried sitting through just...wears. Meanwhile, I can enjoy the movie a bit. If not anywhere near as much as Big Trouble in Little China. And I'd pick Mal over the likes of Buffy, Kong, Samwise...and so on, any day of the week...

    Except when he doesn't. See: Sacrifice storyline. (of course, I did vote for Batman, and do like the idea that a mortal man can take on and win against the likes of Supes, but I have a lot of love for the Big Blue Boy Scout, too)

    Are high attributes more fun then low attributes?

    Repeated for truth. However, I still voted for the high stat side of things. That comes with the caveat, though, that I like some sort of weakness to exist; high stats are made better, as I see it, by having one low stat to counter them out. I had a bardic fighter with base 16 Strength and...

    Non-Core Class Survivor Spin-off: Pro-psionics or anti-psionics

    I don't care about the system. I care about the presentation. If it were presented as "magic of the mind" or something like that, I might go for it. All too often, however, it has currents of evolution and super-powerful brains (as opposed to being a learned discipline) to it. Crystals...

    Booster Gold Many super-heroes do what they do because of some great tragedy in their past they hope to never let pass again, or because it's the right thing to do, or patriotic spirit, or any other number of selfless reasons. Not so Booster Gold, a former football player from the 25th...

    Which alignment would kill the frenzied berserker in his sleep? Choose all that apply

    Is the person a paladin or some other individual that absolutely, never can do an evil act? Then any alignment could, conceivably, do it. Or, more appropriately, it's in character for any other alignment to potentially do it. The further one gets from evil, the more likely the individual's...

    Scarred Lands: Ask the Sage.

    Note: The only time a god and titan fought one on one, the god won, not the titan. See: Corean vs. Golthagga. Further note: The Scarred Lands, at least initially, and at its best, had a strong feel of Greek mythology. Gods overcoming the titans and what not. God trumps titan. Their phenomal...

    Should Campaign Settings include a metaplot?

    I really liked the way Klaus termed it: a campaign setting should remain a snapshot. As such, I voted no on the metaplot. So long as there are new places to detail, people to describe and organizations to flesh out, metaplot is a bad thing. I want a campaign setting to give me story seeds and...
