:confused: I thought the movie was called Breakin' II: Electric Boogaloo? You going to have to explain the Elenssar thing to me. <insert thing here> 2: Electric Boogaloo is a common thing to describe random sequels, because it rhymes and sounds amusing. From what I recall: Elennsar was a user on th...

D&D 3.5 for RPGs.

As far as board games go, I like a lot of Steve Jackson's stuff like Illuminati and Munchkin. I like Betrayal at House on the Hill.

Another favorite is poker.

Accessory charges, or something?

But also, if you institute a maximum penalty for anything, you eliminate the ability to create differential incentives past that. That is, if you want people who have committed a crime to not commit a worse crime, there has to be some benefit to them to do it. The law incentivizes with carrots and ...

Is the practiced spellcaster trick actually better than being four levels behind Character Level on Wizard and Sorcerer (or whatever)? It depends on your tolerance for losing caster levels. You can run a wizard/beguiler with wizard as your "primary" casting class, and only have to lose on...

Yeah, it's the whole Ultimate Magus-Practiced Spellcaster "trick". The text of the ability states that levels 1, 4, and 7 advance the class with the lowest caster level, so you can force it to advance levles 1 and 4 for wizard, even though you have more spellcasting levels as wizard, becau...

Really? I heard it all the time growing up. The rumor was that they committed mass suicide by throwing themselves off cliffs en masse. ...And apparently, while moving in flocks, they do die en masse to fjords and cliffs. So where's the myth (aside from a photographer who made up a video he sold to ...

Psychology is a joke science, and shouldn't be taught to anyone. There are plenty of quacks in medicine, you don't need people playing mind games with people also. :bash: Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's a joke science. Shadzar, you're retarded. [/b]Your[/b] school &...

Personally, I've never seen the importance of knowing, anyway. It's not like explaining how the big bang happened, or what happened before it is relevant to our life at this point.

And Wisdom automatically increases as you age*, and thus as you get older, your hearing and vision improve. Yes it does. And I will stand by that until my dying breath. Just wait until you are older, then you will understand. (So why don&#8217;t old people see and hear better than young people?...

Actually, I used to teach my friends binary while drunk. From what they said, I did a fairly good job. My math usually remains fairly sharp so long as I can still walk.

I imagine the history lectures might get funny if the guy started to inject his own drunken opinions as well.

Now, when you say "set in stone", do things open up again if one party member leaves/dies? For example, if Cheshire leaves the group, does that free up teleportation magic for Titus?

What do you mean by it being a meta stat? I guess I've always assumed the problem with Constitution is that everyone needs it about equally, so it doesn't behave the same way as other stats (in that no one ever dumps it). It's never a matter of if you have a good Con or not; it's a matter of how goo...

I agree. I think it would be easier to just add two new stats to D&D altogether and keep the rest. The new stats would be Agility and Intuition. This reminds me a lot of 2E Skills & Powers. They split each ability score into two sub scores, which would have actually covered Agility and Intu...

Drink a fucktonne of water before going to sleep, best hangover prevention. if you're drunk enough it's making you sick, you can slow the reaction by icing your neck. This... Or, take a video of yourself giving a lecture of a subject of which you're knowledgeable. It should be entertaining... ...an...

So they stealth-nerfed melees by boosting the monsters?

...this reminds me of something else... Fair and Balanced.

Yeah, I've seen people offered a free ride to college who ended up dropping out quite early. It's a combination of college just not being their thing and/or them not being invested in it. They don't gain anything, but they don't lose anything. I think Mean_Liar has a point in that you have to want t...

Oh I know. It's just to assume they're all bad because they're theories is dumb...

...and that's why the quote was made of win.

I think I'm going to have to sig that.

I started with 2E, but I like the options available in 3E. Plus I have over 20 3E books and foolishly followed my wife's advice to get rid of my 2E books. So, unless I start spending more money, I'm going to keep playing 3.5

I think simple OCR is the only one I've ever used.

What are you trying to read?

Eitherway, all of the books that were published in the 4-6 months before 3.5 came out are the ones I hate. The fiend folio for instance has the monsters ALMOST in the new format but not quite. Which means that the book doesn't actually save me any time to use compared to the 3.0 mm. Additionally, s...

Well, that makes a bit more sense. Ugh...

Holy hell. I didn't know you a judge could even do that.

Edit:
Is a Justice of the Peace something different than a judge? I may have misread that.

I disagree with anyone against mixed race couples. Mostly because I'm currently attempting to become one half of a mixed race couple in the near future. (Wish me luck, I think this lady isn't vapid and slutty, like the last 6 or 7 women I've dated.) Good luck. As I mentioned before, I think this mi...
