    Eh, you think you're slow? I'd have cracked 1000 by now if it weren't for the server wipe in Jan '02. ;) --Impeesa--

    What is most YOUR concept of the fantasy ninja?

    Ever start browsing some really old stuff, just to see what people were talking about? And then forget that it was really old and post a reply to something interesting? ;) I've done that before... just not here. --Impeesa--

    Name Inspiration

    I've picked names up all over, but in a pinch I've been known to resort to the appendices of Return of the King. As-is, or scrambled a bit. Lots of great names there. I'm pretty sure I kant figure it out, but being a comp sci/physics major, at least I can accurately tell you just how very...

    Where is BlackSilver?

    I have trouble believing that sort of thing happened here (referring to the thread being alluded to, not the assault). At least not something that was intentionally discriminatory or offensive. Maybe I just don't keep up with these things enough. :\ --Impeesa--

    The simple joys in life

    I like beer, and I like cheese And I like the smell of a westerly breeze But what I like more than all of these Is to be on horseback. Not that I actually ride horses or anything.... or drink beer, for that matter. I just like the song. Actually, I'd have to say sex and rock 'n' roll. I can...

    You last "Kill"

    Deep Horizon web enhancement. The party comes down a hall towards a gatehouse on the opposite side of a 20' wide moat of boiling water. Inside the gatehouse, on the second floor, is a beholder (AMF'ing the whole hall) and three desmodu warriors with bows and whatnot. More desmode are behind...

    How much damage would a Huge creature do with a greatclub?

    First, we look up the base damage - 1d10 for a medium greatclub. Then we look at DMG page 29, table 2-2: Increasing Weapon Damage by Size. Two sizes up from 1d10 is 3d8. Simple enough. --Impeesa--

    How do you chose a class for a noble PC

    Personally, I'd start with two levels of Paladin, take Able Learner to keep up those skills, and then ditch for Warlock. Think Alucard (2, 3). Then again, maybe I'm just a contrarian. ;) --Impeesa--

    Why must special swords/weapons always be intelligent?

    You know why that is? It's because you're looking at the intelligent item construction section. When I want a non-intelligent weapon, I use the 'weapons' section, earlier on in the magic item chapter. If I want to give it unusual powers, I use the general item pricing guidelines that come a...

    Help me build a conjurer/summoner

    But those would just be cleric spells. ;) The most common way to do it is through prestige classes like Rainbow Servant, which adds some domains to your arcane spell list (and the warmage automatically 'knows' everything on his class list, since it's normally very limited). --Impeesa--

    Help me build a conjurer/summoner

    I've thought about this long and hard. It seems to me the best way to simulate the FF-style summoner is actually rather roundabout. Take a Warmage (arcane blaster type from Complete Arcane), and give him Spell Thematics [Summoned Creatures]. Cone of Cold isn't just shooting from you hand, you...

    Life sucks

    Many months after, or 20 years earlier (I don't feel like looking up the exact year)... whatever. ;) I don't see it as a big issue, but if I did I'd say Monte was a bit silly for naming his book like that when WotC was very likely to rehash the original for 3E. Page 58, in the list of brief...

    Pronunciation question -- quixotic

    Hmm... I don't know if that sounds all that great. Ever had trouble deciphering a foreign accent? Imagine if they could convey that in writing, which the IPA lets you do. :) --Impeesa--

    C is for a lot less cookies

    Anyone got a good Fighter/Mage build?

    That thread is somewhat out of date.... see the one I linked to above for more current information. :) --Impeesa--

    Anyone got a good Fighter/Mage build?

    The iconic template that I'm familiar with is ftr|pal 2, sorc|wiz 4, spellsword 5, EK 9. Gives you some nice goodies. There are certainly many other ways to do it, though. Try here for some rather extensive advice on the subject. For reference, the build I outlined above is referred to as the...

    The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

    I would think it would be a trivial matter to add in that the caster may forego some or all of the increased effect if they choose. --Impeesa--
