I'm considering making a winged character, and I'm debating between the "ranged well above melee range" or the "swoop and pwn melee combat" styles, can anyone offer some experiance in the matter?
Totemist 20, Manticore Belt bound to Totem and Waist chakras. Rain down spiky down in the form of 8-16 ranged attacks that deal 1d6+1/2 Str+Skirmish damage (if you have it). All in one Standard action. I'd say Ranged is the better option, chief. Typos wil get me killed one day. |

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~"

Today, I engaged in an admittedly guilty pleasure of mine: torturing someone who probably deserved it for fun.
So I'm at the mall, hanging out in this electronics store while my mom checks out clothing stores. I wanted to see if they had a MicroSD > Memory Stick Adapter. Now, these guys were pompous as all fuck: they claimed out front to have "the lowest prices" and "the best merchandise". (You know something's afoot when they make claims like that of any sort.)
It turns out the place looks like fucking Disneyland, because there are about a dozen kids hanging out there. I don't mind THAT, actually, because I like kids: they always seem to have interesting insights on stuff, and I take any opportunity I can to teach them some culture.
The clerks, however, obviously know jack shit about dealing with them, noted by how on edge they seemed to be. While I waited for one of the clerks to come out of his haze, I check out their selection of PS3 games. I'm surprised to find they actually have a fairly well-stocked selection, until, of course, I run into a massive discrepancy. First, I find none of the most obviously 'hot' games for the market (Resident Evil 5, SFIV and Metal Gear Solid 4, which pretty much anybody with a PS3 around here would either want or had bought the damn console FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF PLAYING THAT GAME, AND THAT GAME ONLY). Second, I find Blazblue Calamity Trigger... next to Hannah Freaking Montana.
What.
Blazblue's price tag: 150 bucks (roughly 75 dollars. Sound expensive? Blame our taxes. And by the way, that's considered cheap for an import around here).
Retarded tween popsinger game (no accessories): 300 bucks (roughly 150 dollars).
what is this i don't even
Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather someone walk home with the former rather than the latter, but what was the reason behind this insanity?
Finally, one of the clerks snaps out, and walks up to me, and asks what I need. I ask them for the adapter. They don't have it. (No surprise there: Sony's freaking store didn't either, I found out later).
Then I ask them why they don't happen to have Blazblue Continuum Shift. First the guy talking to me needs me to spell it out for him, because he apparently can only understand so many sillables used on a noun at a time. Then he answers to me that he doesn't know. I point out that he has the freaking Hannah Montana game, and the prequel to CS, along with half a dozen titles that didn't make any sense for his apparent target audience (would you buy Bioshock 2 or Killzone for an 8-year-old?). He replies to me that what I happen to like or dislike doesn't mean much: that the audience for a Hannah Montana game is probably larger than for CS.
I laugh so hard and so evilly at the guy that I almost shit myself. Parents look at me in concern. Children giggle because they find my laughter funny.
"Well, why don't we test out your theory, then?" I turn to the kids in the store. "Hey kids, if you had a PS3, would you buy the Hannah Montana game?" I point at one kid at a time. The unanimous verdict is 'no'.
The guy insists on arguing that he sells a lot more kids' games, and that CS is 'too obscure', and likely hasn't sold half as much. While he yammers, I google the sales on my cell (having predicted that move) and once he's done, I point the figures to him. Turns out BBCS sold roughly 15 times as much in the first week, and by the end of the tenth, is losing to Hannah Montana by about 10k units (however, the latter has been out for twice as long).
While he tries to conjure what few brain cells he has left to come up with a counter-argument, I turn to the concerned parents and point out, "By the way, (X) store on the other side of the mall is selling better games at 75% of the price these clowns are going for." And I move to leave. On the way out, as some parents who have overcome their initial shock at my evil laughter are thanking me for pointing out a better shop, I see the manager walk up to the clerk who was speaking to me, looking ready to rip his nutsack through his nostrils. |

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. |

Dude, publically emasculating someone by humiliating him with superior career knowledge I can get away with. Random destruction would cost me. |

That's why it's a guilty pleasure, and therefore I don't engage in it often. |
