    What do you do for... Bards?

    3 months between threads is too long. :D This time, it's bards. (If this feels familiar, it's because the previous bards thread was lost in the crash.) Previous threads: Rogues Rangers Paladins Monks Fighters Druids Clerics Barbarians

    Is My Motherboard Dying?

    Most of your problems sound like they are at least partially related to the bios, so you might try updating that. However, because it's been flaky, I would be prepared for the possibility that it fails completely and your system is unbootable. If that's the case, you might need to replace...

    Coins & Treasure surviving underwater

    Everything I know, I learned from PBS. ;) Metals should all be fine. There might be some rust on the iron and steel, but things should be able to be mostly restored. Gold, silver, etc, should be tarnished but still intact. Wood items would still have their form but be severely weakened. Maybe...

    Home network Internet security

    Do you have broadband or dialup, and do you run your internet connection through one computer to the others (internet sharing) or does each attach to the router directly? Assuming broadband and a multi-port router, either the router needs to have a firewall or each computer does. There's a weak...

    My World of Stasia

    Just a guess, but you'll want to Save or Export it as an image from within CC. Or were you looking to see the file without CC?

    Big sheets of graph *paper*

    Wow! This site is incredible. They sell all kinds of dice (ALL kinds!), dry erase materials (dry erase graph sheets!), cheap counters in bulk (500 3/4" round plastic stacking counters for $10). Thanks brehobit!

    Torches and Lanterns

    Lanterns use airflow to protect and improve the brightness of a flame. Torches gutter and sputter, producing variable amounts of light. Think of it more as a quality thing. Anyway, it's really just an arbitrary game mechanic. Continual Flame just projects a flat amount of light and doesn't need...

    DMG II Statblock - How Is It

    Whoops, you're right. I wasn't quite sure what the OP was referring to at first.

    DMG II Statblock - How Is It

    They fixed those two things in the MMIV version, and I think they'll use them in future books. It just makes more sense. Overall, I love it. It's so much easier to read, but much harder to write up because you have to figure out the various places where abilities go. I think the redundancy is...

    Muhahaha!

    XP Home -> All Programs

    Right click on the Start button and select Properties. You must be using the "Classic" menu, so click the Customize button next to that and then uncheck "Use Personalized Menus" (last item).

    Minnesota Gamers - Something You Should Be Aware Of - (LGS Rant)

    I think you are overreacting. I'm not about to stop shopping there just because I can only get store credit. That's true of almost every store I know - NOBODY gives cash refunds around here. With the Source's copious shoplifting problems (thanks teenage gamers), you can't honestly expect them to...

    Extinct: Customer Service- rant

    Don't forget, it was a Best Buy where a man was arrested for trying to pay with $2 bills... http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43685 Anyway, you should escalate the problem with Best Buy. Talk to the manager's manager, and if he won't help, get the regional manager involved...

    Looking for a simpler PC Gen...

    It's good to see that the PCGen folks are listening. Thanks for piping up! Karianna, that home page is still pretty confusing. There are 26 links on the first page and most of them are cryptic to a novice user. It's still a developer's page, not at all for end users. You should consider a...

    Copying and pasting from a PDF?

    A lot of PDFs are just image files stuck together. You can use the snapshot tool to grab bits of the images from them, but they will only be images, not editable text. If the PDF was made from a text-based source (like Word, or in Acrobat itself) and converted into a PDF then the text should be...

    What To Do With the Warlock?

    Just tossing the idea out there. No need to over-react. :\

    18 int, 6 wis, 6 chr Warforged. Roleplaying tips?

    Beat me to it. ;) Urkel is very smart, but with a low wisdom, he usually picks projects that backfire or cause problems. His low charisma means it is difficult for him to get along with others, and may have some self-esteem issues. Could be interesting...

    how do you implement wild shape?

    Cool. Me, I hate the shapeshifters. People seem to fixate on them as cool (true enough), but they're a huge pain to deal with. I'd like to use the PHBII druid, but it needs work too. For now I stick with reminding people that shapeshifting is really a utility ability, not a combat ability.
