    Who would you cast as Wonder Woman?

    Judging by the way Jessica Biel looked by the end of Blade 3, she gets my vote. Barring her, I'd be hoping for an unknown. Katie Holmes would be a tragedy as large as Catwoman IMO. Oh and by the way...*looks around thread* Not enough cheesecake. :D

    Improved Trip Question

    I agree Hyp, you have the RAW correct. I just don't find it reasonable :p Oh and it turns out I am using an old version of the Sov SRD. They've added D&DG info and corrected the Warmind BAB. I usually just download it and use it locally.

    Improved Trip Question

    Yes, 3.5 PHB 1st Printing. I believe the Sov SRD corrected some errors in the rtf SRD. The only error I've found in Sov is that Warmind BAB is listed at 3/4 when it's 1 for 1.

    Disarm a Shield?

    I think +10 is too high a bonus. A locked gauntlet seems much more secure to me than a shield. Consider that it takes a Full Round Action to add or remove a weapon from a locked gauntlet and it provokes an AOO, as opposed to a Move Equivalent for a shield and no AOO. It's much less difficult and...

    Improved Trip Question

    OK I see what you're saying. IUS does prevent the AOO for tripping unarmed, but a trip attempt (or other melee touch attack) does not count as a monk weapon for flurrying. The problem I have with this is that you are still using a monk weapon, your own body. A Trip attempt substitutes for a...

    Brett Ratner to direct X-Men 3 (announced 6/6/05)

    Well here she is as a brunette, but I dunno how old this is:

    "The next ______"?

    I also think that a monster has to have a "Manipulator" feel. To be a really good campaign villain it needs to be intelligent, tough, able to work behind the scenes and come at the party in different ways, be it through different attacks or by other creatures that it...

    Improved Trip Question

    That's odd, here's what the PHB pg 141 and the Sovelior/Sage SRD says about trip: So no, not exactly. Yes it does. You posted it in your own quote from the SRD: "As normal for unarmed attacks" means that you provoke unless you have Improved Unarmed Strike. The Weapon entry for Unarmed...

    Improved Trip Question

    Not exactly. Trip as an action does not provoke. Attacking unarmed without natural weapons, improved unarmed strike or while holding the charge on a touch spell does provoke. The other Improved feats affect attack options which do provoke AOO's in and of themselves, therefore the benefit...

    "The next ______"?

    Agreed. Some of the coolest PrC's for instance, have been partly fueled by the artwork. One that really jumped out at me was the 3.0 Spellsword. I didn't really like the class, but man I wanted to play one and throw down on some giants! As for a monster whose cool has been steadily growing for...

    Improved Trip Question

    Also Trip does not provoke an AOO to begin with, so they added something else to make it a little more attractive. I've been playing a Trip fighter for a few years now in LG and it's not all it's cracked up to be. The chance of failure even on same sized creatures can be significant. Generally...

    Disarm a Shield?

    Well, I've done it in play. I suppose you could cut the straps securing the shield, or just rip it off by main force. The DM treated it as if the shield was being used as a weapon using the shield bash rules. Give it a +4 bonus due to it being secured. Not quite a locked gauntlet but still good...

    Brett Ratner to direct X-Men 3 (announced 6/6/05)

    Wel, Zak Pen was a writer on X2 as well, and Simon Kinberg wrote Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which I'm looking forward to. So all may not be lost, but let's say I am far less hopeful than I was, say, a year ago. I still think the previous director bailing and what happened with Singer smells VERY...

    Anakin's path to darkness too steep! (SPOILERS)

    Along the lines of what Demmero has been saying, one of the things that really disappointed me was that according to Obi Wan in ANH, Anakin was one of the best of the Jedi. He was supposed to be good and wise, a model jedi. You got the impression that he had lived a life of virtue and...

    What's a good magic item for 10 grand or less?

    A vest or cloak of resistance +2 or +3 is a must. (4k or 9k) You can also pick up +2 armor for 4k + the cost of the armor. Cloak of Elemental Protection for 1000 (MiniHB) is also a steal. Really it depends on what you already have.

    Final Figures for the 04-05 TV season

    Yeah I have a confession to make. I don't watch Lost. I know, I know. Well I watched the first couple of episodes, it seemed pretty good, but with my work schedule I missed a bunch of episodes and just fell out of it. When I came back to it it just didn't have a big draw for me.

    Final Figures for the 04-05 TV season

    I'm really happy with House's performance. Best new drama this year to me. However, I'm very disappointed with Las Vegas and West Wing's numbers. I found Las Vegas to be really entertaining and I thought West Wing experienced a large increase in quality this year after a lackluster season last...
