Tale

I'll tell you all the truth about why people hate America. Boy bands and Pop music. McDonald's doesn't help, either. Everytime I get a quarter pounder with cheese (mustard only, or god help you) I hate myself a little, too.

I could never get into They Hunger. Maybe because I was such a late adopter of Half-Life, having only been reintroduced to PC gaming in 2002 or 2003. I also hate OpFor, just for the record.

I tried to find an angle to make fun of the thread. I was going to parody it. It's quite easy since it has an absolute lack of any citation (let alone credible citation) to throw any numbers you want right back as a counterargument. But I decided it wasn't going to be funny enough to be worth my time.

If this is a member's first post, I can't see them being all that productive to the community.

Never heard of this problem. Have you tried deleting the configuration files just to see if it's anything in there? I also know people reported problems with dual core processors, but that resulted in an entirely different issue.

I think the King of Shadows was ultimately pretty dull. His minions were mostly dull and resultingly he was dull. There wasn't really any complexity, just confusion.

I know nothing of this, but surely google does! http://boardreader.com/t/D_D_Rules_18752/C...ion_201887.html Full BAB, Full Caster Progress, D10 hit dice? Hold the f'ing phone! Sounds pretty imba to me. I don't think any prestige class should be particularly stronger than a standard class. What exactly is the downside to this class to make up for these bonuses?

I like the way Pop thinks. However, I disagree that the long term villain is best layered and complex. I say this to modify why he's saying, not completely argue against it. I think the long term antagonist structure (I use the phrase "antagonist structure" to refer to a system that allows for multiple villains and complex relationships between them) is best layered and complex. Aside from characters like Irenicus where you peel away to uncover the whole plan, there's also the possibility of organizations, formal and informal, that you peel away to find out the whole plan of the organization as well as the head of it. It's a relatively common mechanic. The main difference with what Pop is saying is that it leaves room for a mustache twirler at the top of the antagonistic structure. I want to think of a good example of this but the main thing going through my head is Xenogears. While Xenogears had a very complex antagonist structure with Grafh, Miang, Deus, Shevat, Cain, the Gazelle ministry and the lot. Deus is ultimately the prime villain, however without the relationships with all the others it could have been quite dull. I wish I could think of a more popularly known example of a complex structure of villains that worked. However, I think as an example, Deus works incredibly well as "meaningful evil."

I always found Consular to be the easiest. The ability to spam force powers to nearly destroy the enemies in one (and occasionally two) shots for everything you encounter does make things a tad easy. About the only difficulty I ever had was getting my party member's out of trouble.

I choose all of the above.

I think the idea sounds horrible. Nobody's going to want to host it.

It'll save me 5 bucks to buy it all over Steam. hmm
