I still say that in terms of the suave, sophisticated Bond...its Brosnan all the way. He's got the look of a guy that can "cool" his way through any situation. But a number of other bonds do the action part a lot better, Craig being the most recent one.

Just noting that 5+ level, even just a break on a 1 means a fighter will be breaking a weapon every 3-4 fights on average. So on a typical adventuring day, a fighter would expect to lose 1-2 weapons to breakage.

One thing that is interesting about BK in these end confrontations. While he is clearly still scared at least at a primal level....he is also excited and intrigued at the same time. I think there is a part of him that is just so terribly bored by life, that this life and death situation is the...

I do agree that this particular xenomorph is like a hero xenomorph. Its one thing for the things to take out a squad when they have surprise and are in tight spaces and the like. But when its an open room and the thing kills 3 fully armed and aware guards like its nothing, its like come on they...

Many creatures (including us) have mental programming that comes from our genetics. Our natural "instincts" are not all taught, some of them are straight up embedded in our code. Considering we still have a lot to learn about the genetic code, the idea of personality aspects coming from a...

how do inertial dampeners throw out the laws of physics? It is still Science "Fiction"

In my head cannon, transmuter's are the rarest of wizard specialists. Not because they are the least taught....but because they are hunted for their precious stones!

It has all the capabilities of a normal familiar, which is easily one of the best features in the game in the hands of a creative player. I don't think it needs more buffs on top.

One small rules thing on the necromancer they may want to tighten up. The Undead Thralls: Undead Fortitude ability. You get the bonuses off of the spell slot used....but you also get a +1 effective spell level with the ability overall. By the book, since it says the spell slot you should use...

Does 2024 ever specify what happens to a character that doesn't sleep (aka long rest) for an extended period?

honestly....I'm not seeing that much improvement on the arcane archer. The arcane shot options still seem terribly balanced. Magical ammunition is one solid effect (the darkness) combined with two super niche effects....but that one is decent enough. Arcane Burst is nothing for a 15th level...

yeah its cool we have this nice span of moralities among the kids. Slightly is really guilt driven over his decisions. Wendy actually has a pretty cold streak, and seems aware of her actions but continues to kill. Nibs has basically a psychotic break and isn't in full touch with reality. (side...

one of the key takeaways from the interview that I had forgotten about, was that Salvo was in the original vision of the future. That when she died in the present it concretely showed that Gail's vision of the future is not absolute and is malleable. And so...it suggests that Gail's vision of...

Its one of those I would probably have to watch the season again to see if the narrative all makes since with Bayta as the mule. Off the cuff, the biggest "WTF" question is....why does Gail see pirate mule in her visions and not Bayta? If Bayta has that much control over Gail that she can...

Its possible (and if the Mule is capable of such quick switches that would be the smart move). That said, I do think if the Mule was able to just create a "psychic clone" that quickly...not just someone who thinks they are the mule but actually has a fraction of the power... that creates some...

So after the 24 pages of debate, here is where I fall: RAW: I think Maxperson's notion that a spell is still being cast on your turn is valid....aka magic is happening. But by the book this spellcasting is being done through the Ready action and Not the Magic Action, and therefore....is RAW...

yep you got them. Clearly in this case, between the choice of: 1) WOTC designers simply did not think of this very specific rules interaction when they changed action surge. OR 2) Cackling madly they gleefully kept this rules exploit intact, waiting for the legions of debates and the cries of...

I have a feeling Morrow has a trump card that he still hasn't played. That said, he straight up told Yutani that recovery of the species was possible but unlikely, that was the hail mary part of the plan. Now to the rest, we will see if he plays a trump or if he just got got.

it wasn't a defense, it was in fact the exact opposite. My point is that it highlights how dangerous the technology is, because companies are not able/willing to augment it with the necessary safeguards to prevent such issues from occurring.

Part of the issue is I think your looking at it from the wrong lens. Your looking at it from a genius strategic mastermind who is going to take the most optimal path to victory. The Mule is not that. They are nacisistic and enjoy being in the middle of things. Its not just the destination, its...
