1167845227[/unixtime]] Do you have a link stating that they wanted to invade Iraq and Iran? [br][br]Sure.[br][br] Donald Rumsfeld, 1998, to Clinton. [br][br] We urge you to seize that opportunity, and to enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies...

1167818136[/unixtime]]These same dudes who didn't want to touch Bosnia and blamed Clinton for wag-the-dog said in the run-up to the election in 2000 that they wanted to invade Iraq and Iran. [br][br]Do you have a link stating that they wanted to invade Iraq and Iran? If anything, during the 2000 de...

1167799421[/unixtime]]Cycles?[br][br]Cycles? [br][br]Yep. [br][br] What so the SAME republican dudes felt really sad about their last pet wars total cock up and out of their resulting natural and impossible to overcome pacifist tendencies opposed Clinton's forays. [br][br]Honestly, i have no idea o...

1167784275[/unixtime]][br]Frankly, the Republican cynicism on this issue is mind boggling . The reason that they opposed military intervention in Kosovo and Somalia is because Clinton was doing it. As soon as it was Bush sending roops then anyone who opposed the war was a "traitor".[br] [...

Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas everyone!

1166772381[/unixtime]]This is a joke, right? Well, just to get us started, I can find Mt. Sinai on an atlas, and book a flight to Bethlehem, but I haven't had much luck seeing the gods on Olympus or going to Asgard....[br] [br][br]So you're planning on seeing the burning bush once you get to Mt. Si...

Wow! You're right! Reading it again, it says here that Moses is going to end up president of the NRA.

This is exactly the reason why I worship fbmf. By doing so, I can identify drinks as a free action plus I get a +4 circumstance bonus when hitting on women in bars ...

I regret to inform you that it is a real game with Donald Duck in it ...

1166575656[/unixtime]]Frank, that was the perfect link for the Kingdom Hearts newbie. Awesome.[br][br](Let it be known (in parentheses) that I played all of 20 minutes of Kingdom Hearts and thought it was exactly like that guy was saying, except substituting Soul Caliber 3 for Resident Evil 4 .) [b...

Welcome SirWayne, Leress, bitnine, Catharz (I know that Catharz has always posted, but I think that the account is new), and Spambot (I think fbmf would like to spend a few rounds ... I mean minutes talking with you ...) ...

1166062366[/unixtime]]I spoke with the DM today actually.[br][br]Hold Person would have been a great idea, since the fighter only has a will save of +1. [br][br]Also, the paladin made, in the DM's opinion, several tactically questionable actions. Mainly, running off when I managed to disarm him wit...

1166051540[/unixtime]][br]I've had too many characters die from building their characters in a way that cannot deal with the challenges we were facing that I try very hard to convince them not to make the painfully weak characters they tend to.[br] [br][br]Ok, I'll ask the follow-up questions:[br][...

1166034782[/unixtime]]The point, Wedgemeister, is that the MyTH couldn't know hold person , because the slam on his caster level on each side prevents him from having it. If the character had been a straight wizard or cleric, though, he would've had hold person available, and would've cast it in th...

Of couse the die doesn't know. The point is that there's no certainty that the MyTH would have known Hold Person in the first place since Hold Person is a slam dunk strategy. Like I noted in my previous response:[br][br]1) Revision 3.5 Hold Person has a lot of things going against it (saving throw e...

1165976710[/unixtime]][br]Note, though, that the fighter did fail his save. It was just against weaker spells - which was the best Arioch's MyTH could do. [br][br]Ah, but the MyTH wasn't casting a hold spell at that time, was he? Different times and different events lead to different conclusions - ...

1165842838[/unixtime]]Actually, the paladin kept using power attack for all her BaB for some reason, and the rogue just rolled shitty that night. [br][br]That's my point #1.[br][br] However, I don't think poor tactics and bad luck make up for the fact that my character is probably the worst built i...

So the rest of the group always connected with every swing that they made? The rest of the group had their spells work exactly as intended? [br][br]Look, I can counter this experience with an experience where my party (cleric, paladin, and rogue) got taken out by a fighter a level higher than us and...

1163998078[/unixtime]][br]Well, not really, they can always make a new char that is of this new class. As long as the DM is saying that anyone who takes the class gets the benefits, most PCs are fine with it, because it's fair to everyone that way. Targetted magic items specify only a specific indi...

1163993534[/unixtime]][br]In my opinion, this kind of stuff creates way more hard feelings among the group and is very reminiscent of the dreaded "DM's girlfriend gets all the cool shit that nobody else can use" syndrome. Doing anything in a surreptitious fashion is bad. If you think a cl...

1163563355[/unixtime]]If someone is too lazy and apathetic to bother getting it, thats their problem, not mine. [br][br]You know, after I typed my answer, I had to go off and mail something. While driving to the post office, I basically came to the same conclusion: it's really just apathy. [br][br]...

The thing is that the evaluation of the rules on the requirements of GM "competance", though is accurate, is a little subjective. [br][br]For example, my whole response to the ,"Well, 1st level spells never get exhausted sp they should be unlimited" argument is basically this: if...

The thing is that the disconnect is that those that should be the ones least likely to be able to buy IDs (illegal aliens) are the ones that are buying them for substantial price increases versus the DMV. Take >THIS< for example.[br][br] Criminal charges allege that a former Indiana License Branch w...

fbmf, if bouncing boobies are not the type of enthusiasm which this message board strives for, then we need to talk about changing priorities around here ...
