Fine then, I'll go do it. Try this thread to start. Diplomacy builds can be truly frightening, and the Evangelist is a nice addition. --Impeesa--

The 20d6 cap applies to natural hazards, like falling. Also, it's been well-discussed that the character is incredibly ill-suited for any normal game. He's got a huge glass jaw, but he can deal absolutely ridiculous amounts of damage with that one throw - the toughest fights come down to a...

Quoted for truthery. Although whether or not I'd allow the template for a PC is debateable (it also makes you a non-native outsider), as I read it a Ftr 1/MoMF 9 with the template can wildshape at will, as a free action, into forms of up to 20 HD for 20 hours at a time (virtual druid level of...

Water's easy, though. Brand new cup with a shortage of microscopic scratches, and a microwave. Speaking of microwaves, I can use one to get an arc of plasma from a grape. Didn't learn that one gaming, though... that was from work. ;) --Impeesa--

Well, up until about 2 years ago I swam competitively. Anywhere from 2-5 km per practice, twice a week in the off season and 6-8 times a week during the summer. Now I do pretty much.. nothing. When I start feeling out of shape I'll make a more serious attempt at getting back in the pool, I...

I think we (and by 'we' I mean "Canada, which is close enough") aren't too behind yet, but we'll see more and more slippage in the future. The school system just isn't set up right, and it's apparently gotten worse since I was in it - and I could tell it was messed up when I was in it, right...

Hm. That must be it. I met my girlfriend of 5 years and very likely future wife when we were both in about grade 1. Maybe earlier, it's a little hazy. I'm pretty sure neither of us made that "yeah, I'd do him/her" decision right then and there, though... that took a few more years of getting to...

An exalted CG warlock and his fey patron might take offense to a suggestion of such violent vengefulness. Also, would you inflict such horrible punishment on, say, a redeemed evil cleric? That's even worse (voluntary change by a more devoted servant of a more powerful being). --Impeesa--

Ur-Priests are cool. They get 9th level spells in 9 levels, which opens itself up to all kinds of nifty tricks, and they count half their levels in any other spellcasting class (except for ex-cleric) towards their Ur-Priest caster level. You can do all kinds of cool things with Ur-Priest, Mystic...

A 15th level Artificer could make single-use, contingent-triggered items with Mordenkainen's Disjunction. Make them in the form of catapult stones, as suggested above, and pound the place with them. With the right feats, he could even do it for fairly cheap. --Impeesa--

I'll give you that, yeah. Two occasions are better than one, I suppose... although that doesn't help much when your anniversary is ten days past Valentine's Day. --Impeesa--

One more "Havin' a great day indeed" here. ;) My girlfriend is home for reading break, so we get a nice Valentine's Day together. I brought her breakfast in bed, we, uh, spent a little time together, now I'm relaxing and catching up on some homework (and boards) before we spend the evening...

Single people whining are funny. ;) See, 'always on' is tough to keep up, and being 'spontaneous' is also tough to do in proper doses. That's why it's nice to have a special occasion set aside where you can show your affection for each other. Also, I agree that it doesn't work out if you're...

Ilthrix the White, a fearsome great wyrm, earned (from me!) the unfortunate nickname of "Anthrax the White." I also started referring to Ghaerleth Axom as Gary the Flayer (from Speaker in Dreams, also made a return appearance in the next module in our game). Nothing as great as Jingleballs...

A good portion of that comes from Samwise Didier, one of Blizzard's staff artists (and one of my favorite fantasy artists in general). Good stuff. --Impeesa--

1998 for me, almost exactly a year after I picked up Magic. It's a gateway game, I tell you. The books were from one of the first runs of 1E AD&D though, so it was like 1980 in spirit. You know you're hardcore when your characters have kids, and then you have real kids to play them. --Impeesa--

I came to appreciate the virtues of a self-calculating character sheet when I played Rolemaster. Making a Rolemaster character above 1st level in about half an hour should give anyone a warm, fuzzy feeling. For D&D, though, I find it just isn't the same without a sheet scanned from the back of...

Those are grandfathered-in tinglies. They get by the new 'jaded' regulations by virtue of having already given you that feeling before, and then disappearing for a great deal of time while accumulating nostalgia. :) You know, making jokes about the stereotypical gamer just isn't as fun when...

Aye, that I do. I think I already have my fair share of people, though. There are... um... 9 players in our current game, I think, if everyone shows up at once (hah!). That, and my courseload is such that weeknight gaming isn't a very good idea (4th year comp sci/physics, and I felt the need to...

Crap, that's brilliant. Someday, when my own (currently hypothetical) offspring feel the need to indulge themselves in the silly, 'rebellious' fashions of their day, I'm going to take them aside and give them a little talk. I'll tell them I understand they're just expressing their individuality...
