Ha. True.

wow awesome job Just wanted to say: great job. The numbers back up what my gut, and playing experience, have told me. As was mentioned previously, it is not uncommon for party members to go up again monsters with a higher CR than the party level. Not unusual at all -- particularly in...

I don't understand this. I can enjoy bad movies (i.e. laugh at them, and/or with them). I can be entertained by bad movies. I am sometimes not entertained by good movies on occasion (wrong mood/time). I'm not saying Kill Bill is simply a bad movie... for me, it was a bad movie which I...

Please enlighten me. What am I missing? Kow-towing to bad kung-fu and bad westerns only gets you so far. In fact, kow-towing even to movies that are quite sophisticated and good only gets you so far. Now, if the "vision" is very limited, yes. The movie achieves the vision. Do you mean QT...

I'm really pretty sophisticated in a lot of ways. I'd love to hear what I "didn't get." I'm serious. What was I missing? What isn't A)lazy about it, and B)self-indulgent?

Um... no I didn't want ART (capitalization from you). As I stated in the first sentence, which you quote. I want nothing more or less than the movie NOT TO BE BORING. You agree that the plot is ridiculous, and "You get, more or less, the only thing that CAN be gotten from a plot like this -...

I finally saw this movie. It was schlocky, granted, conceived as schlock and produced as schlock. The trouble was, I found it BORING. That is death to all schlock. After talking to my friends, who generally liked the movie, and reading the critics, who generally liked it, a "defense" of the...

Orbs Best when you need it! One thing that has been lost in all this interesting (for the most part) discussion is the fact that the orb spells are strongest, and most useful, WHEN THE SITUATION IS MOST DIRE. Using the Orb spells vs. 1-4 opponents, particularly at mid or high levels (10+), is...

Well, it is very expensive, but assuming weapon finesse you are adding dex "to hit" and dex "to damage" which allows you to use str as a dump stat and pump up dex as much as possible. Hardly optimal, but...twinked out... maybe.

I can't help feel... With a lot of these items, that 3.5 is becoming some sort of escalating game of "one upmanship." A savvy player can trivially create pretty powerful and sometimes overwhelming characters by crafting or buying various powerful and generally underpriced items. Really, it is...

spell combos I have a weakness for basic spell combos, relatively low level. Have 2 enemy caster do this at the same time. Silence + Evards Silence + Acid Fog Silence + Evards + Wall of Fire (or another lingering damage spell) Simple, and effective. Forces the PC's to do very different...

I was referring to the original prices in the book, not the mostly sensible commentary from EnWorld.

actions I think in general people underestimate the power of additional actions. Either free movement, extra movement, extra attacks, extra spells, extra teleportations... etc. Free movement setting up a full attack or a charge... Etc. Extra actions are golden. As seen by the nerf of haste...

yuck Wow, how tawdry. So you claim that somebody's opinion isn't really an opinion if it is not true (i.e. not a "fact")? I'm sure you don't really mean this. In my opinion, this is the lamest comeback ever. Oh, nuts. "This is the lamest comeback ever" is not proveable as a "fact" so I...

Huh? Isn't this really basic philosophical stuff right here? Obviously opinions can be wrong: flat out wrong. "It is my opinion that the nation of Germany, last week, turned into a clump of seaweed." That's an interesting opinion. You can certainly state it. And it is obviously - and...

Huh? Usually you can borrow a book or get the feat list from the web and figure out what it does. I have not spent money on supplements in ages. I don't pirate, I just borrow from friends. There is down time during games, and I flip through the books. Is this really a stretch? The +3/+3...

Something I pointed out during the long discussion of Wraithstrike. (Some) people still maintain Haste 3.0 is balanced because it works ok "in their campaign" (as if this is relevant to the game as a whole). And this despite Haste 3.0 being hit by the nerf bat incredibly hard in 3.5, and...

Don't play your monk as a melee-capable class. With a 15AC, that 30 HP is gonna go away really fast, even vs. CR4 monsters. And of course, even if you get into combat, your damage output is rather, well, pitiful with a str=12. To be blunt, only enter combat if you are fighting defensively...

Just the normal and expected knee-jerk Merric defense of all things holy, i.e. WOTC.

" This spell causes an object to glow like a torch, shedding bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 20 feet) from the point you touch. The effect is immobile, but it can be cast on a movable object. Light taken into an area of magical darkness does not function. " The...
