What you did today
Yeah, I recently switched out the brake pads on the new Mustang for the first time. I slapped on Bendix ceramic brakes. They were quite reasonably priced and they've got a good reputation for brake pads. The rotors were in good shape. Anyhow, I noticed the warranty on them, and I have to say that it sounded too good to be true. It's nice to hear someone with experience vouching for it. I have to fill out the forms and mail them out tomorrow. If you bought them from a chain auto parts store (AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc...) than you can get the refund right there. You may have noticed they asked for your phone number when you bought them and what they are doing with that information is adding those parts to your personal database. You then bring in the old worn pads / rotors (the ones you just changed out), they look at them and nod, then instantly credit you back. Thats usually a sign of a warped rotor (the surface of the rotor is no longer flat but wavy). If you start to notice the vibration ~60MPH, thats probably an imbalace situation. Go look and see if one of the balancing weights on one of your tires is missing. Ive never tried a good scotch. Years ago in my youth we got wasted on Cutty Sark and it kinda turned me off to scotch for life, but Im willing to get back on that horse.

Luckily I do my own brakes and Ive stumbled across FREE BRAKES FOR LIFE. See, when you go to an auto parts store and buy brake pads and rotors you actually get a lifetime warranty on them. Dont ask me how they can give a lifetime warranty on something specifically designed to degrade, but they do. So what happens is that you wind up paying for the first set of everything but every time after that you can simply bring your worn pads and rotors back to the store and they will refund the money you just paid for the replacement set. Its literally free brake pads and rotors for life, you just have to do the labor yourself.

Some "Wild Man's Retreat". Wilderness. Hunting, Camping. Beer. The stag do you do when there are to be no strippers. Thats an excellent list then.

Why bother with faith?
I sure hope mine does, shes a good girl.

Why bother with faith?
Why do you feel that is a worthy goal? It just seem like hubris to me. Of all the life forms on Earth, only this current version of humanity is worthy of immortality? To me, thats just a coping mechanism people use to mind trick themselves into feeling they arent mundane, arent alone, arent going to simply die and be forgotten by history, but will in fact live on for all of time. With that basis in mind, religon can then backfill in a bunch of stuff to influence peoples behavior.

Why bother with faith?
No, because previous tests had eluded to the fact that it should exist. Big difference between blind faith and reasoned faith. IMO, faith is something we created because we cant accept that when we die its over. We feel were so special that it cant possibly just "be over" when our physical lives end, that our souls must live for eternity. That were such special lifeforms that we MUST transcend this mortal coil and become eternal beings. Because were so special.

Of Magic and Muskets...
I did totally think the first two pictures were real. And a user would slide the fake arm over a stump like how a peg leg is worn.
-
Of Magic and Muskets...
Huh, Ive never seen an "arm cannon" before. How did it work? Did you have to have a stump to slide it over?

Having an issue with the no healing magic or medicine
^What choice would the player have? Cant heal, cant rez, and the only place to rest is at the few and far between "safe" places to rest.
-
Having an issue with the no healing magic or medicine
My understanding is that any attack will simultaneously cause damage to both Stamina and Health just not on a 1:1 ratio and with limited / no healing and no resurrection it will lead to exactly the situations you describe below.

What are you playing now
Hmm, the only difference being you installed IWD1 after installing Win 8 but IWD2 was already installed prior to upgrading to Win 8? Probably very unlikely to help but maybe uninstall / reinstall IWD2 now that Win 8 is installed?

Not to get too far into your personal life but since you shared....the memorial is not about you or your family members but to honor your fathers life. Perhaps it would be worth your while to bury the hatchet for an afternoon and go pay respects?

What if current health limited current max stamina?
Its already a case of diminishing returns. Damage taken affects both Stamina and Health, with only Stamina regenerating. For example, your level one mage has 20 Stamina and 10 Health. He takes an arrow to the knee that causes 10 Stamina damage and 5 Health damage. The next turn he takes another arrow for 10 Stamina and 4 Health and passes out (lol). The rest of his buddies kill the archer and the mage pops tall, regenerating all his Stamina but none of his health. The next encounter he gets hit by a flicked booger and drops dead. That sounds awesome.

Crossing from fun to frustrating by design.
So how will we recover health? Only by resting in hard to find rest locations?
