I say a lot with a little. I agree, small-minded nationalism is super relevant to the topic. "Now we can ignore a problem which the scientific community has reached a near-complete consensus on for another 50+ years!" Not to mention the fact that the US' primary trade relationship is with China, a country powered overwhelmingly by coal, a country whose rampant, if unequal, economic growth is leading to an emulation of capitalist materialism, further exacerbating the situation. The petty nationalism expressed by certain individuals is irrelevant to the issue of the thread. Maybe a red herring, maybe some kind of ill-thought "argument" that "If we have more oil, then it logically follows that climate change is a conspiracy by Big Science to [insert right-wing conspiracy theory here]! Also stop begging us to play world police, arabs! The US has never interfered with the internal politics and sovereignty of any foreign country, especially in the middle east, to further its own political goals and the economic goals of its most powerful individuals and corporations!" All that red faced arm waving is actually kind of true. Im very happy my country will have enough natural resources to eventually stop importing oil and become an exporter. Makes for more countries under our sphere of influence too. I also don't give a rats ass about global warming. The Earth will be perfectly suitable for life during mine and my daughters lifetime and beyond that the whole place can go to Planet of the Apes for all I care. But I don't want to let you down so I will also disclose that Im always down for a good invasion to take what we need. Maybe we can invade Venezuela and build a humongous underwater pipeline to Japan?

The hassle of increased move speed

I always just equip whichever pieces of gear say "recommended". Im sure that, along with some suspect Powers and Feat choices, will come back to bite me soon. Reached level 30 and met a dungeon end boss that actually killed me. I stared at the screen long and hard and then logged off to think about what I had done.

You're not far off. The play was sanctioned by Music Theater International in New York and I think the Jr. designation just stands for a truncated version of the original that they distribute to middle schools. The whole thing ran ~1h15m. EDIT: Fiddler on the Roof JR.

^Remember, lift with your knees. Last night I attended my daughters middle school rendition of Fiddler on the Roof, Jr. I had never seen that play in any form so it was good fun and they have some surprisingly talented singers.

But that's a one-time investment. After that you can churn out undetectable and untraceable weapons all day. But you do have a point that anyone can create a zip gun.

Military debate - winning wars, winning battles
Gfted1 replied to Walsingham's topic in Way Off-Topic
That's really surprising to me. Considering England's gun laws and laws on "weapons" in general (cant even carry a pocket knife), I would have expected them to also outlaw toy weapons so as not to encourage children to "play" with guns. -
Reached level 21 yesterday before calling it a night. At level 20 I gained access to a mount but unfortunately, after 20 levels of looting everything that didn't get out of my way, I still only have around 2.5 gold pieces and mounts cost 5 gold. And now it takes 6 hours for my mercenary to perform 1 job, so that's really slowed to a crawl.

Im glad I don't have that problem. I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and sleep soundly until the morning alarm.

Without the Cleric companion I would be having a much less fun time. I think Ive been spoiled by the WoW mage. In that system the mage can conjure food and water which heals and replenished mana respectively. If I got low on either I could go pop a squat behind a bush and voila, a few seconds later and I was all better.

That picture brings a question to mind. Since that looks like a Bobby police helmet I will assume the picture is from England. Do they sell toy guns in England? -
Yep. Go down to Compton, CA and I can probably get it cheaper than you. But of course you mean can I get a fully automatic weapon legally. The answer is no, fully automatic weapons are illegal for average citizens to own.

I think that's a byproduct of 3.5 & 4E which Sawyers seems to be drawing a lot of inspiration from. Everyone can do everything with little to no efficiency drop off. Make that "Everyone can do everything, although with some efficiency drop off" and it'll likely be more accurate. To me, it's like thinking of a special forces team. It's not like nobody but the medic can apply a bandage, or that the scout is the only one who can sneak. Specialists do it best, but anyone with a scoped rifle can do a passable job as a sniper. I said "little to no drop off". Is "some" more than "little"? Sawyer: "I like strawberries. Strawberries are tasty." Gfted1: "Sawyer hates strawberries." Reading comprehension FTW. Are you in the middle of having a stroke or something? You seem denser than usual.- 242 replies

The Alt button toggles the mouse cursor. I don't remember any skills being automatically assigned. Press "C" to open your character sheet and you will see the tabs to assign Powers and Feats.
