  1. Why not write up a list? I might be interested.
  2. By the way, tried putting a plyboard underneath the mattress to make it a bit more stiff - sadly it didn't help. Tried rolling up a towel and placing that underneath my back, worked better - until I had to turn over to my side.
  3. Ofcourse, but there enemies need lines of sight, hide is your friend if you're an Elf, and be in range and cover helps you greatly - not all enemies have longbows. And you don't have to pick the biggest animal around, if you pick something small and inconspicous that works even better. Hide in a swarm of crows or whatever. And let's not forget to mention that the druid can do this without support and you have range for it, and if everyone is focused on the Druid the other players can wreck the mooks while the Moonmoon just play a bit defensively. Not many mooks/monsters have Dexterity saves or Resistance to Lightning, so you can be fairly confident that those damage points are going to land. Granted, not having any bonus but flat Xd10 damage dies can have you fluctuating wildly damage wise, a Fighter must land his hits in melee while taking damage. He must be in the thick of it. And he is dependant on loot for this aswell, having full plate early on and/or a magic weapon isn't a guarantee. Anything you do to counter the lone druid player is going to hurt much more against the rest of the group though, you have to pull out some really dedicated things if your players know what they are doing. They are one of the most overpowered classes in the game at the moment, if not the most overpowered. The other classes does have some really badass things going on, but they have to be really specialized compared to a Moonmoon druid. From playing a Druid until the GM got annoyed enough to "Drop a bridge on her" and a bit of Cleric, I'd go for Bard. They seem more fun to play, lots of skills, lots of spells and some fun other tricks. The best fun I've had so far has been in playing a Thief, if you're clever you can use that bonus action Slight of Hand to do some pretty neat stuff to your enemies. Not good in the traditional sense, but loads of fun. Untying peoples pants forcing them to either fight with one hand less to hold up their pants, or fight hobbled with their pants around their ankles or just plain stealing anything that isn't nailed down is great fun! Least spells but they are the only ones that have metamagic on their side wich can be nifty. Still after Wizards in power, but high in pure entertainment. Edit; Should say that I don't know how much difference there is between Pathfinder and 3.5e, I've not read Pathfinder since our players don't want to go back from 5e.
  4. And just when I found a glimmer of positives in my day, it seems I ate something yesterday that doesn't really agree with me. I'm glad the toilet is just a few feet away. FML.
  5. But they'd stand to lose the time and money they invested in training the person, thus making him less likely to get jobs and promotions. It lessens the persons chances of having a good life, just because of chances. If nothing else, the company gains more control over it's workforce.
  6. Yeah, I reacted to it previously aswell, but I reckon I'm just too much of a Witcher fanboi
  7. Why would they take the risk of promoting/hiring someone that has high risks of cancer/genetic disease or other such things that could be a problem to him in the workplace?
  8. Holy ****, that is one of the most vile ****ing invasions of privacy I've read yet...
  9. Moondrood reigns until higher levels too, for sheer versatility and sustainability really. Sure a Wiz/Sor will outdamage you, but you spend one spell slot to keep call lightning alive for up to 10 minutes, so you can use it damn near any fight and use slots to keep your and your party topped up aswell. While animals have, generally speaking, terrible armour they also have higher mobility, meaning you can kite people or just plain stay out of their range with flying. Tempest Clerics are quite powerful aswell, but not quite as annoying in our groups opinion as Moonmoons. Then you get Elemental Wild Shape... Conjure animals requires you to give the animals verbal commands though, wich you can't do in wild shape, sadly, but if you only have a single target they are better provided the target doesn't have the ability to AoE them to death. There is a perk to Druids though, Reincarnation. Oh the lols when our mighty half-orc barbarian got turned into the very thing he hated the most, a tiefling.
  10. Now that there is some light out I took a closer look at my engine, the expansion vessel for the coolant was empty, wich is really, really, really bad since I filled it up to full yesterday when I left work (40km/~30miles). That's about one litre of fluid gone, besides the litre that had dissapeared previously. So I checked the oil stick (Or what do you call it in english?)... Found the missing water! There's about 50% more fluid in the oil pan as it should be and it's much to viscous. And since the engine had trouble turning over, this probably means I had water in the cylinders and since water is nigh impossible to compress... But there is some good news! I already have a head gasket and high performance bolts that I bought previously that I didn't actually need then. And I can rub my fathers nose with it since he thought I should return them. MWAHAHAHAHA!
  11. Something wrong with my car, besides springing a leak on the coolant feed to the turbo. Turned the engine over at work and it suddenly stopped, as if I had my foot on the brakes, gear in, and let go of the clutch. Just, turned over a few time - dead stop, no warning. Also, went and got my back x-rayed. The operator couldn't see anything wrong, but I'll be seeing the doc on monday. Edit; Spelling like a spastic.
  12. The system is challenging and balanced until you have a player roll a Moon druid. 2xWildshape, use spell slots as heals and Call Lightning will wreck the GM's day.

  14. I've always loved detailed rulesets, so I have a hard time with the proficiency system. You tag a skill and you're going to be good at it, you don't get to dip a little into other things that your character ought to have picked up. I already think that 3.5 is basic, atleast compared to what I'm used to. I agree that things are a bit thin, but I doubt it is going to change soon. Most players that care have gone to Pathfinder anyways.
  15. They've sort of baked in Prestige Classes into the base classes, you choose a specialization for your class, so all characters get a little extra twist to them. So your fighter at level 3 could choose the Eldritch Knight Martial Archetype and get some spells and abilities that would give you some bonuses and not sacrificing BAB. In 5e armor is much more powerful aswell since you don't have Touch AC just plain AC, so your Ranged Attack spells are harder to land on a pondering Fighter in full plate than that naked nimble thief. If you play a Bard you can choose to focus on melee via Bards College of Valor or spells and skills through College of Lore, and there are a few more. Clerics and Wizards get domains and spell school specialization instead. Technically speaking since BAB is based on your Proficiency bonus, a Wizard and Fighter has the same BAB, so if you pick feats you can be a decent swordsman aswell. The fighter has alot more HP (D10 instead of D6) and more Features from their class. Rambling on; If you really want to break the game you play as a Valor Bard, choose some Paladin spells as your bonus spells and you're set to go. Bards get to choose a couple of spells from other classes spell lists and Paladin/Ranger spells are really powerful for their levels since they're normally accessed at much higher levels since they get slots half as quick as full casters, so their most powerful 5th slot spells normally accessed at level 17 the bard can get access to at level 10 and can cast at higher spell slots. Borked. Or just go for a Drood, Circle of the Moon can wildshape into higher Challenge Rating monsters than normal and recover Wild Shapes with every 1hour rest, meaning you can soak ludicrous amounts of HP will still doing damage and if push comes to shove you can spend spell slots to heal your wildshape HP. Anyway, there are some options to get a little variation with the class specializations, but you will not get a massive bonus for doing so, and actually penalized if you're an innate caster. Cantrip spell damage scales with Caster Level rather than slot though, and cantrips will be one of your most oft used spells, so they've got some multiclass protection in there aswell. The higher level class features are really powerful and since you're multiclassing, well, wave all those goodbye. I personally prefer 3.5e to 5e, the other GM and players prefers 5e since the rules have been streamlined.
  16. Well, I never read 4e, so I can't really compare per se, but; you loose out on feats if you do, for instance most classes gain a Feat/Ability Score Improvement every 4th class levels, so if you multiclass to 3/1 you miss out on that Feat/ASI and you only get a select few class abilities from the new class. But you don't lose out on skill levels or saves, they are now bundled together with base attack as "proficiency bonus", they are based on your character level. You'd also lose out on Extra Attacks, since they don't stack with eachother, you'll have to level up to Extra Attacks (2) in that character tree. M u l t i c l a s s i n g P r o f i c i e n c i e s Class Proficiencies Gained Barbarian Shields, simple weapons, martial weapons Bard Light armor, one skill of your choice, one musical instrument of your choice Cleric Light armor, medium armor, shields Druid Light armor, medium armor, shields (druids will not wear armor or use shields made of metal) Fighter Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, martial weapons Monk Simple weapons, shortswords Paladin Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, martial weapons Ranger Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, martial weapons, one skill from the class’s skill list Rogue Light armor, one skill from the class’s skill list, thieves’ tools Sorcerer — Warlock Light armor, simple weapons Wizard — As you can probably see, you can't take one of the heavy armor classes just to get Heavy Armor proficiency. Spellcasters should avoid multiclassing like the plague ofcourse since they stop advancing their known spells, bit less punishing for Wizards than all others. There's a multiclass spellslot list wich means you will always get decent slots, but you will only be able to use them on lower level spells generally. If you get the opportunity though, I'd recommend heavy armor, they're bloody OP. I really don't see much gain in multiclassing since character abilities are really powerfull you don't gain much by jumping to another class. The one exception would be taking a level as a Rogue or Bard to get their Expertise bonus, wich gives you two skills/tools (I.e. Thieves tools for lockpicking) that you double your proficiency bonus in. Proficiency bonus goes from +2 to +6 in the far end, so it's quite a nice boost to something you want to be good at. Not as useful if you're doing 99% dungeon bashing. Since you're much more limited in attributes and magical items than previous games it is much more noticeable aswell.
  17. To be fair, that likely was English propaganda to spur on their own soldiers, and since the King of England supposedly said this “…And further he told them and explained how the French were boasting that they would cut off three fingers of the right hand of all the archers that should be taken prisoners to the end that neither man nor horse should ever again be killed with their arrows. Such exhortations and many others, which cannot all be written, the King of England addressed to his men”. https://bshistorian.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/two-fingers-up-to-english-history/ Still, I love it ^^
  18. That's a lovely letteropener you've got there ^^
  19. Got a serious case of roadrage on the way home today, to the point of getting a nosebleed. Was driving on the highway, essentially empty, and there was some van hogging the left lane, doing 90km/h on a 100km/h road. When I caught up to him I expected him to pull in, because there was no car in sight infront of him to pass. Flashed my headlights at him when I got nearer, and then I had to slow down, started honking and he still refused to pull in. After about 1km of that I pulled into the inside lane and blew past him honking. Was sorely tempted to pull infront of him and hit the brakes... I still have the headache. -.- Very, very fitting for this day; That's a quarter of what I earn per year! XD You have my sympathies mate!
  20. Well, the religious schools here in Sweden are quite few, out of ~31000 schools in 2007 roughly 70 were religious schools, but many of them has been criticized by the National Agency for Education for not teaching/having the values that they have put forth. If you're a religious school in Sweden all teachings must still be non-religious, but they are allowed to have some free time spent on religious ideals and whatnot. There are some politicians that has called for a ban of all religious schools, but nothing has come of it so far sadly. Possibly because the EU might interfere.
  21. 65k? That's as good as new! o.o You're going for a brand new then I assume?
  22. I'll be honest, Miranda looked very misshapen/missproportioned for someone wich was genetically engineered to perfection.
  23. Really? Wankers.
