The business about darkness effects is fine. It's really just a carry over from when more of the later class skills were dependent on floodlight being active, so I should have killed it myself. And yeah, it's 20'. I'll go ahead and bold that line in the beacon desc.

I get all my walls from http://wallbase.net/ . It's great for searching by color and screen size. However, make sure to check the search settings before you search for anything/hit the toplist. It scrapes all its walls from the 4chan wallpaper boards, so there's plenty of NSFW content that you may w...

Anytime until Sunday night is good for me. I'm used to reshuffling my sleep schedule for weekends. Traverse, I don't even know what your proposed character does.

On barbarians as background, the Barbarian from Szatany's ultimates had some nice ideas for alternate options to rage. But yeah, I definitely see rage as feat only, these days, though I'd hope for less straight stat increases if that meant being able to drop the uses per day.

Darn, I was hoping to try out my Exultant, which is also an aasimar and divine-esque. I can figure out another combo if that's stepping on toes.

It seems I'm now a Gemini, which means that I can deal heavier damage to Sagittarius, Libra, and Aquarius, but I have to watch out for Virgo and Pisces.

Now the only way this will help me is if I look up the changed sign for everyone in Tactics. Thanks, Parke Kunkle.

Sorry, I didn't realize the wiki changes had removed some compatibility, and also forgot to change over any wiki links to Surgo's wiki. :blush:

I'll update the link and provide a link to the den thread in the desc.

Forget spells per encounter, or per day, but per lifetime! Once you cast that fireball a third time, you need to make a new character to cast it again, and you better damn hope you've levelled by now to get a new spell to cast (also limited by 'times per ever'). :P Sounds like the Bio-Mage .

Try not to pay to much attention to that, though. Unless you're really looking to hurt your character, which in turn hurts the group, blindness should be fluff, and not mechanics. Blind! was just a look back at an old character of mine (everyone looks at making a blind character, at least once). So,...

It's like that. Some people also call it social anarchism, which is more accessible as a standalone phrase, to me.

But if you want a clear Black vs. White conflict, like the movies clearly wanted with Star Wars ep. I-III, the differences between the two sides should have been played up. I completely agree. I've always thought the viewpoint of the separatists should have been played up earlier, and more often. I...

Re: Could the Star Wars prequel movies have been saved?

While we're on the subject, there should have been more of an effort in the movies to make the Separatists evil with a capital E. (Used to like Star Wars, back when I used to like many things. But I'll still wax nerd over it.) If there was one thing I liked about the prequels, it was the playing of...
