The image of piledriving someone in to the wall/dirt is awesome. I think that's also right up my DM's alley. So I'm gonna go with that.

Not really a class suited for a nobleman. But I'm imagining a goliath now in green war paint.
Of course the original Hulk was grey...

Really?  I would've gone with red trunks and boots, and a lot of body hair.

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~"

By the way, how does the initial build wind up with pounce? I've been digging though the internet but I haven't found out how.

A Lion Totem barbarian (complete champion, not the crappy UA version) gets pounce instead of fast movement.

If you add another level to that barbarian dip (so two levels) you can pick up Improved Trip without the requirement of Combat Expertise or an Intelligence of 13.

Just a possibility.

Nice avatar, btw. :P

It's only trauma if it's BAD furfic porn.

And yes, I like my avatar. Reminds me of Jon Talbain, from Darkstalkers (that sexy beast).

Just to let you guys know, session 1 was the bomb. I went for the goliath dungeon crasher and he kicked ASS!
I critted and managed to deal Massive Damage (50+) on one of the orcs.

Oh, that's always nice. I remember when I played a goliath crasher I did about 100 damage with a crit at level 3 or 4. (Yes, a x3 weapon and probably via Emeral razor - which I shouldn't have had at that level...hmm.) Or maybe it wasn't 100, but it was pretty ridiculous, may have been just 75. Considering that I had just killed my mirror-match with that crit was hilarious.

There was another funny scene: For some reason we thought meleeing people in a grapple caused a miss-chance - and the chance to hit the wrong guy. So our wizard was being grappled by some minor mook, and I attacked the mook. We rolled the erroneous miss-chance and... the following dialogue occurred:
Me (to wizard): How many HP do you have?
He: 28
Me: Er... those are gone now.
He: Wha...

The funny thing: Crashing doesn't really keep up with the other damage one can dish out, at least if you only dip Fighter2, and eventually I was hardly ever doing it anyway. It was a really good low-level tactic, though. I was thinking of retraining it away already. Now Knockback itself NEVER runs out of options, and it's the No.1 reason to play a goliath.

Not sure what that means, but it's all off-topic anyway.

Itt is "It's the Truth", meaning the Truth is always better than an implication. He was essentially saying that, Yes, he has never read Waterways.
[Spoiler]
A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

Ah. Never seen that one before.

But yes, Waterways is excellent, though it does have love scenes between theriomorphs (ie, anthropomorphic animals). They're written as actual people, though, and the whole animal thing is mainly just in the details.

Naw, ITT stands for In This Thread. And >>Text is how posters on 4chan quote other posts. For example, a Channer might link to a post and then write ">>Implying x" under the link, meaning that the linked post implies x. Often, this will be the only text in the answer post at all, perhaps accompanied by a picture of an incredulous or stupid face, meaning that the poster thinks the implication is absurd.
