Sung to the tune of "The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe Elves, forever young, we know everything And you're an orc who never heeded our advice We're guilt stricken, sobbings, with it's head on the floor You caused a grizzly's death then skinned it with a knife You will be held responsible We'll...

Howdy. I'm an undergraduate math major working as a math tutor at my university, and had a student come in today with a related-rates problem. Another tutor and I both spend about 45 minutes on it, making almost zero progress. Any help would be appreciated. :) ******************* *...

My parents and brother are looking at upgrading their computer this Christmas, and we would like some advice. First, let's talk CPU's. Currently, we have a PIII 600MHz processor. This is a Gateway Performance (500 or 600, I believe), from way back in 1998/1999. We're wanting to upgrade to...

Need a little help for a program I have due tomorrow... I need to know how to make decimal numbers display in full using C++ (devC++ from www.bloodshed.net , compiler). For instance, with: float x1 = 1.0; I want to code this: cout << x1 << endl; and have it display: 1.00000 not this: 1.0...

Just wondering why us Trekkies aren't getting the treatment we deserve! :mad: ;) So, here's one I cooked up! :D

Since I'm here, and this thread doesn't exist, I'll start one for this month. :) Just today, I picked up Dark Age of Camelot at Wal*Mart. A friend of mine has been trying to get me to play it for a week or so now, and I finally gave in and bought it. Even after just 5 hours of playing time...

Here's a map I've worked up, featuring a set of catacombs underneath a temple of a death god (Velsharoon is applicable, from FR. Undeath, necromancy, etc.). It is scaled at 1" = 5', so it can be printed out as-is (or in B&W) for play. Have a printing shop put it on a posterboard, or grab some...

Well, here's the backstory. We (my mom, step-dad, me, my brother, and my 2.5 yr old sister) were all in the car, going for a little ride on Sunday night. My sister is throwing a little fit because she's not ready to go back home yet, so we decide to take the long way back. In a stretch of...

Backstory: A few months ago, I found a site on the internet, linked to from these boards. It was called Dan Smith's Fantasy Fonts for Windows, and on this site I found (amd promptly downloaded) fonts for several of JRR Tolkein's languages. Since then, I've come to enjoy learning to write in...

Ignore, incorrect information. Original post left for posterity...

Either a typo, or Wizards has some lloooonngg-term plans! ;)

I was reading the 3.5 DMG yesterday and came across the Horizon Walker (p. 189-191). It's a class that gets bonuses each level dealing with certain terrain types. The class as written looks like it was intended for a Ranger, but I'm thinking that the flavour of the class would apply equally...

Just a FYI for the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction fans out there. Blizzard has released a beta version of their new patch. It is available here. 8/4 update: The second version of the patch is released. Note, if you install this patch, you have a high probability of having your characters...

Heh, found a funny thread on WotC's D&D boards. >here< So, what do you want on your Tombstone?

When loading up the front page (New Style and Old Style both), I get a page with a scrunched up center column, and the right-hand side is huge. I get an error message in the area just under the 3.5e Rumours links, just above the WotC Product Schedule.

Short Version: Anyone have recommendations for graduate schools offering degrees in mathematics? Long Version: I will be graduating in May 2004 with a bachelor's in Mathematics, and from there I'll be going into graduate school. I'm looking at going out-of-state (Louisiana) unless something...

My family is looking in to setting up a website for our soon-to-be business, and I would like to know how to go about setting it up. I know some (and can learn more) coding, so that's not the problem. What we're interested in is where we would go to register a domain name, and where we could...

I think I recall seeing this feat somewhere. I'm not sure about the actual name, but it allowed you to wield a weapon of one size category larger than normal. I'm not seeing this in my books, and can't remember where I saw it at, or if I'm just imagining it. I'm not talking about Monkey...

This week, Monday-Friday, 11:00am-4:00pm. SciFi channel is running a marathon of Battlestar Galactica. The episodes are going to be digitally remastered as well. Get your VCR's ready, and watch out for those Cylons!

What would you say about letting clerics and paladins turn outsiders as they do undead? At first level (third, for paladin), the cleric would choose to focus on either Undead or Outsiders, and couldn't change. Turn/Rebuke Outsider would work exactly as Turn/Rebuke Undead, except that they...
