Probably because the vast majority of combats take place at short ranges where such "mortar" style shots are impossible?

Yeah, but I'd hit them no matter what they said. While the 'new' tiefling look doesn't appeal to me as much as I'd like, I understand the change. They wanted the tiefling to be more 'alien.' And you know, your tiefling could always just use a hacksaw to cut the horns down to size.

It's X-COM: UFO Defense here in the states. Best computer game ever made, without question :).

Most real-life adventurers aren't concerned with orcs, dragons, or carting out 300,000 gold pieces from the Pits of Infinite Despair (or just destroying the plot device, in the case of Tolkien).

Seriously? Jack Burton is from Big Trouble in Little China. A D&D movie if ever there was one, and a classic "B" movie.

That sounds like less of a problem and more of a feature, something cool for both characters to do.

It's not like the absence of a Defender will spell certain doom for a group. It probably means a surplus of Strikers, which makes the group more viable for quickly spiking down enemies but less able to take damage themselves.

The appeal of the defender: standing right up to the big bad, yelling "Bring it on!" Another probably puts it better though :). "Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks...

Or be a Malconvoker. Worth the loss of a caster level. The sad sad part about the Alienist is that it takes away most of the good summons (Outsiders for SLAs, Elementals for melee power).

A lot of fun.

Neither Canada nor the UK are constitutional monarchies; the queen of England has no real power. I'm with the PCs. If a dying woman just asked me to stop the bad guy from getting the child, my good-aligned PCs would try to stop him. What's the alternative, getting into a custody battle? As...

You know, a Disjunction plus a concentrated spike could probably take her out.

Had he been alive for the death blow, I bet Marius would have grabbed the crown for himself. Too bad. :) A hell of a fight though.

I would figure that Entropy's presence would make things more difficult, really. With Entropy there, well, the group couldn't trust her, so they always had to watch their back and hold something in reserve. And it's debatable whether or not the world would be better served with Entropy gone...

Cool to hear. I'm personally hoping that Mandi pwns Demigorgon with one spell.

Yeah. How else did you think I was going to find out?

Okay, I'm a coward. :) So sue me. Let's find out if there's a sniper waiting to pick us off as we crawl out from the wreckage. Unfortunately, the public place and our long-term strategic goals are really cramping my style. :)

Inside the Van "Best? The very idea of suicide bombing is abhorrent," Michael responds to Dee, keeping his voice low while cowering inside the wreckage of the vehicle. "What's going on out there," he asks his more reckless companions. Michael's Double Michael's double pushes the vagrant aside...

The last person we'd expect to see? Maybe Ferox or Xerxes? I know I wouldn't see that coming. :)

Mandi used a Programmed Amnesia, right? Doesn't that require 10 minutes to cast?
