    Monsters of Suck

    I'm betting on the Catoblepas, personally.

    Needs more racial books.

    Dread Archon, did you mean Races of X type books, or Lords of Madness/Libris Morte type books? Races of X: Orcs and goblinoids definitely. I'd really want that book to be Eberron focused, since goblinoids actually have, you know, CULTURE in Eberron. Call it Races of Savagery maybe? Toss in...

    Eberron Weretouched Master (Bear)

    Yah, seriously nerfed, which is fine considering how badly it skewed things. I think the biggest bonus is +4 now. Eratta linky: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/er/20040125a

    OK, I ignored my own advice and decided to be stupid...

    Agreed, that clcl looks suspicious. I'd yank that. It might be some kind of clipboard related thing, but I couldn't really find info on it. Likewise, "Registry Monitor" with an executable named "1903cr.exe" looks mighty suspicious too. The AIM6 line looks weird because it doesn't seem to do...

    Universal fast healing - effects?

    Technically, an eternal wand requires an arcane spell, but I think that's a silly rule...

    Fixing the 10-minute Adventuring day.

    I like the idea of the power nap, but I think it's probably just easier to level the party a little faster so that they have more resources to expend.

    OK, I ignored my own advice and decided to be stupid...

    Defender was poorly ranked among anti-spyware apps for a while, but seems to be a little better now. Just poking around I can see a wide variety of reviews, some saying it blocked less than 50% of the malware it encountered, some saying it was the best free product available. In any case, it's...

    What to do with a party that keeps dying?

    In the other thread, some of the behaviors of your players sound like they are very sub-optimal. You might have them take a look at the "Characters with class" series on the Wizards website. It says really basic things, like "your wizard has low AC, so stay out of melee combat," but some people...

    Clearing printer queue in XP?

    You might look for a BIOS update. That could potentially fix some USB problems.

    Clearing printer queue in XP?

    First hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, go to the Task Manager and cancel the "spooler" job. That should kill the process that is trying to print and hogging the CPU. Try removing the job again. It still may not work, or there might be problems because the spooler was killed. Next, try uninstalling the...

    Universal fast healing - effects?

    Not quite. The reserve points only work outside of combat. You've got 10 hp and you loose 20 in combat, you're still dead. If you lost 10 and went to 0, once combat was over you could use your reserve points and return to 10 hp with 0 reserve. It doesn't make you stronger inside the combat, it's...

    Universal fast healing - effects?

    What's your reasoning behind wanting to give everyone fast healing? Is it streamlining? Because the increased bookkeeping for every creature on every round of combat is going to kill you. Also, because it occurs during the fight, it changes the balance of the game, though it depends greatly on...

    Are the flaming burst properties ever really worth it?

    Wow, I had no idea. That would be so much more useful if they mentioned it in the description for the burst effects. Was that true in 3.0 as well?

    Are the flaming burst properties ever really worth it?

    I feel like the burst property is underpowered for a +2, so I allow them to burst against creatures immune to crits, like undead. If you roll the crit and confirm it, the burst goes off, but the creature doesn't take the rest of the crit damage - just normal weapon damage plus the energy from...

    Ubuntu and Wireless

    Unfortunately, I'm not an Ubuntu user. I'm glad you figured it out, but remember it's still in beta - some things are not going to work quite right.

    The VCH list (Very Common Houserules)

    If you say it's a house rule, obviously you know it's not a regular rule, therefore it's not a misconception (at least, not to the person who posted it here). It is a very common house rule for folks who switched from 3.0 to 3.5. One of the most common, I'd bet. Check any other house rule...

    Can't access basic Windows programs

    It sounds like you may have accidentally unchecked "Accessories and Utilities" when you were removing MSN Explorer and Messenger. Just check it again and it should add them back in.

    Ubuntu and Wireless

    I just saw that the Ubuntu 7.04 beta has "excellent wireless". It's a beta, but might be worth a shot. http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-beta-preview.html

    how to search better...

    I'm probably wrong, but the way you phrase it sounds like your DM might be limiting ALL search DCs to 20 for non-trap finders. Remember the DC 20 limit is only traps, not secret doors and other hidden stuff. There are a bunch of good suggestions here, but you could also ask your DM to remove...

    Building a PC, need some advice.

    Eek! Brain fart. I actually have the P150, not the P180. Both are designed for silence. The P180 doesn't come with a power supply, so you can choose one. From the Antec P180 web page, it appears that the power supply does mount on the bottom. It also fits "micro and standard ATX". Odds are that...
