    WotC Ads

    Is it a fix that WotC has to do, or is it an in-house fix? I'm just curious, not knowing much about stuff like programming and the like.

    Inetmittent PHP errors

    In case anyone has done any work, I'll report that I just got the error when accessing the site around 10:30 EST. I simply refreshed the screen and things worked perfectly fine and I haven't had problems since.

    From now to GenCon, I won't be on during the day

    Wow. I hope you never have a home business, then. It'd really stink to not be able to procrastinate at home, either! What I meant to say, of course, is good luck meeting the deadline. :)

    WotC Ads

    Might I third this suggestion of reducing the width by just a smidge? Subconsciously, I've found that those threads that make me scroll left and right are annoying enough that I click off of them and do not read them thoroughly. The downside is that what I actually end up doing is clicking off...

    'Matter Agitation' power clarification

    Well, actually that's a bit more in favor of the OP's position, not the other. If you have in effect a heater, then you can continue to apply it through the ice as the water melts away! Besides, I've never said that the heat wasn't 2D, I've been saying that the effect is 3D. Even if you have...

    'Matter Agitation' power clarification

    Yes, but you can't boil in 2D. In fact, I can imagine many holes more thin than the volume of water needed to actually boil (and not merely evaporate away). At the very least, bubbles are spherical, implying 3D. At which point, how much of the surface bubbles? At what random interval are you...

    Into the Moral Darkness: (Now a Completed Story!)

    Rhema decided that she had rested enough and was able to stand up. The cookbook had intrigued her, and she wanted a piece of the action after having been lying down for so long. “Cookbook? Now there’s an interesting place to hide some information. Mind if I take a look?” Ischarus smiled and...

    'Matter Agitation' power clarification

    By a strict reading of the spell description, I agree with frank. It affects the surface area only, not a volume. However, in the second round of the list of possible effects, it describes water boiling. Since you cannot boil (or even have) a two-dimensional amount of water, it could work on...

    Ok math geeks I need help

    Well, from a logic standpoint, in mathmatics we have the four "types" of negation: 1. If A, then B. 2. If B, then A. 3. If not A, then not B. 4. If not B, then not A. 1 and 4 always have the same truth value for any hypothesis. 2 and 3 also always have the same truth value. However 1 and 2...

    WoTC products, going downhill?

    I voted slightly downhill. But, take that with a grain of salt. I was only thinking WotC D&D when I voted, and I've heard great things about the new Star Wars system. But, speaking of WotC ... I've been sorely dissapointed in the Complete series since CM. PHB II was great ... but everything...

    Into the Moral Darkness: (Now a Completed Story!)

    Ischarus stood, resting his wife’s head carefully on the thick carpet. “Wait a minute. The last time that we were here this associate of yours conjured up some kind of illusion. It didn’t fight like an illusion, though. It felt real enough. After what I’ve just seen, I’d be willing to bet...

    Buying Feats with XP

    For example, take this chart: Cost(XP) Extra Feat purchased 4000 1st 4400 2nd 5060 3rd 6072 4th 7590 5th 9867 6th 13321 7th 18650 8th 27043 9th 40565 10th X + (X)(Y)(.05) , where: X = the previous cost or 4,000 in the case of the first feat Y...

    Buying Feats with XP

    True. Vwery True. Which is one of the reasons that I said my group has tweaked the numbers a little bit. However, We can't also forget that in many cases the core classes aren't balanced out to 20 levels. In many cases (the cleric and druid come to mind) they cost more to buiold than what a...

    Into the Moral Darkness: (Now a Completed Story!)

    Chapter Eleven: KILLING THE ROOTS AND ALL Ischarus continued to embrace Charis and his wife for several more seconds. He didn’t speak until he heard his wife let out a small cough from just above the carpet floor. Immediately he let his grip slacken to give her room to breathe. “Rhema? I’m...

    Buying Feats with XP

    This is a really neat system. However, in this system you'd really be a fool to not take the null levels - at least two of them. Well, assuming that you use the 3.5 standard for handing out XP, that is. Because at level 11 you make up exactly 300 XP just because you happen to be a level...

    Buying Feats with XP

    I'll second a vote for Buy the Numbers. If you want to see a more reasonable answer as to why ... see my response in the poll in the General Forum on how quickly characters are gaining feats in various games. As to the above critique on Point Buy Numbers (and I suppose Buy the Numbers) ... I...

    A Feat progression poll

    I didn't vote in the poll because our group has recently become infatuated with modifying the basic rules given in "Buy the Numbers" - a phenominal pdf that can be bought through ENWorld's affiliate RPGShop. [I think I got the attribution right, if not, please forgive me] The thing that my...

    Into the Moral Darkness: (Now a Completed Story!)

    Charis nodded at the voice’s suggestion. Master Searthu stepped away from the wall and spoke with confidence. “Very well, but I think that I should be allowed to go in first, at least among those of us still visible. The occupant of these quarters may not have been receptive to the...

    Most overrated "broken" things?

    Okay, fair enough. This being a thread about "broken" things, I may have made an assumption. I can admit that. But if that's true, then this thread has strayed from the topic! :D [Not that this is unusualy or anything ... :lol: ]

    Most overrated "broken" things?

    Oh, and one other thing. You'll notice that your response doesn't talk about "broken" as I define it. To me, broken means it destroys the game, not your gaming experience. "Broken" is a term that deals with mechanics, not one's enjoyment of the game. Broken halts the game because the rest of...
