Heh: Piratecat: So let me get this straight. You're drunk... barsoomcore: Very. Piratecat: You have a broken ankle... barsoomcore: Right. Piratecat: And you want to head down the steep, slippery rock path... barsoomcore: Run down. There's no time to lose! Piratecat: Run down. In the middle...

Hell, I wore a puffy shirt for my wedding. And I've already gone head-to-head with The Rouse in the shirt stakes once before... -Hyp.

I managed to reach the end of book one. No motivation whatsoever to pick up book two. And this is from someone who rereads the Belgariad every couple of years (I've even read the whole thing aloud, twice). I'm a great fan of the Malloreon, Elenium, and Tamuli. Althalus was awful, and...

I'm in the middle of rereading the Belgariad (again) right now :( -Hyp.

DangerGirl! is playing a character who does a lot of what you describe in my PbP... but the PC is a wizard, and we've just themed most of the powers alchemically. -Hyp.

Our Paladin does it with Righteous Rage of Tempus. It's amusing when he spends the power and then rolls a 1 on his daily, but it's even funnier when he spends the power and then rolls a 20 :) -Hyp.

Heh. It's not everyone who can go from bleak "This must not come to pass" rage, to "I liked it". Congratulations :) Were there aspects in particular that managed to turn you around? -Hyp.

Hell, that's been the secret of the success of my games at the last two GenCons. I plan it that way so I have less work to do ;) -Hyp.

I was talking to barsoomcore the other day about his Reform School Ninja Girls PbP, and something he said was "I know who the Big Bad is, and what his objective is, but the details of what's going on are a bit of a mystery. What I do know is that wherever the Ninja Girls show up, something...

And yet somehow, it never comes up. Warlord: "Wizard! Can you block that corridor with a wall?" Wizard: "No, it's too wide." Warlord: "But I don't understand - it's the same width as the corridor you blocked yesterday. Why does the orientation of the passage change how wide your spell...

I love the 'opportunity' rationalisation. And if the PCs examined it too carefully, and ran statistical trials, and kept logs of when the Rogue used Blinding Barrage, they'd notice that certain things only ever happened once per day and never more frequently. But when there's a question that...

Not according to the rules I'm familiar with! Consonant blends aren't split between syllables. And as long as we're referencing dictionary.com: warm·er, warm·est warm'er, warm'ish Warm"er Here's the thing - that's not the point at all! If "carnage" is split into syllables at the R, and is...

You don't split a trailing consonant double blend when breaking a word into syllables, do you? warm: rm is a consonant blend. So we have warm/er and warm/est and warm/ing, not war/mer and war/mest and war/ming. And there are any number of words in English that have syllables that start with a...

For future reference, 'penultimate' doesn't mean what you think it means. -Hyp.

Heh. We went out for breakfast with some friends the other day. Sat down in a little creperie, and the waitress came over and asked if we wanted coffee. One of our friends asked "Is your coffee any good?" The waitress was rather taken aback. "No, it's awful?" she said. "Uh... what do you...

Well, actually... ... in 3.5, cover from an ally did prevent AoOs. (For example, you could close with an ogre through his threatened space by first moving in behind an ally adjacent to the ogre, and the soft cover would prevent the AoO.) However, moving through an ally's space didn't provide...

So does Ray of Exhaustion count as shooting or throwing a ranged weapon? It's not a weaponlike spell. The Attack (Ranged) action will almost always involve shooting or throwing a ranged weapon (while I can see a scenario involving readied actions and invalidated targets where the action is...

Analysis has determined that Banning under the Honour System works best with visual aids. Please print out the below attachment and tape it to your screen until your ban has expired. -Hyp. (Moderator)

You can't generalise a definition of what an attack is from the Invisibility description; the spell specifies that it uses an idiosyncratic definition. "For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe." The definition of 'attack'...
