Ye gods. If you start optimizing/RAW-analyzing OotS I'm going to flee. After I burn your computers down. ;)
Hey, I'd love to see a write up for the Dashing Swordsman PrC, wouldn't you?
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

V's a tool. I'm glad s/he is losing

I'm more annoyed that it's so obvious. Ever since the whole group got reunited without V getting to do anything, it's been one long, increasing loud groan for me as everything s/he tries to do fails miserably, and the failure is telegraphed from 3 strips away.

Yes, we get it already that V is too conceited to admit s/he messed up. But it's starting to get annoyingly Anvilicous:banghead
It is rather frustrating.  I wonder if Rich wants to see how long he can keep the group split.

Although, if the group did have to be down one member, I'd swap V for Roy any day.  Sure, V is more powerful, but s/he's also so annoying.

If they did it that way, it wouldn't be funny, a symbol of insanity on a bouncy ball was.

I think having a set of ridiculously over the top defenses with equally ridiculously over-the-top counters would be pretty funny.  It would also make the Sapphire Guild look like a force to be reckoned with, rather than a bunch of pushovers who all die from one dirty tactic.

They're paladins and warriors, that's exactly what they are.

Reach, chain, split, echoing, repeating, twincast, empowered, shadowed Lightning...
that should be able to kill more than 100 fighters easy.

new comic up. And apparently V needs to create a spell that deflects random debris away from him, since he keeps getting crushed by it.


It's kinda cute that tsukiko wears slippers that match her eyes...

Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

O'chul, making paladins look AWESOME.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. At 2:15, it begins rolling up characters."

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"
