Holy Word: Wonderfully powerful, but considering it's a pirate-themed game so she's the only good-aligned character in the party, she'd have to run off into the boonies to avoid harming her party and slaughtering her crew. Funny, but less-than-ideal
Jolting Portent: Take that, enemy casters!
Anyone have any others they'd recommend? Otherwise I'm kind of stuck. Role-playing wise, Holy Word is far more amusing: "I have an incredibly-powerful spell, but I can never use it!"
Effectiveness-wise, Jolting Portent is likely to occasionally hamper enemy casters, but is hardly worth a 7th-level spell slot.I do like Waves of Ecstasy because it fits in with her character concept rather well, but I'm not sure how effective it would be at our level.
I'm a big fan of Destruction.
Also Dictum (Dictum? I barely know him!)
I love Destruction, but it's not her personality.
EDIT: Though being naked definitely is. Or at least scandalously-clad.

Freehold was right, the woods aren't safe!
Got covered up to my neck in micro burrs walking the dog down this derelict trail.
Had to throw away a crappy long sleeved T-shirt and a pair of barely acceptable long johns (I wear them as pajamas and then just slip on my shorts over them, ideally I'd change before taking Tiny T-Rex to school, but we all know that usually goes).

Of course I still have to finish DA Origins. And D3. And then download and play PS: Torment.
But I've heard so many good things about FFT, I can't help myself.

Most of what you've heard is probably true, but many are not.

Blarg. "Some" - I should have said "some" are not.
And added "probably," instead of being so specific. That's what I get for being distracted while typing!
Point is: there are a lot of rumors, and probably some exaggerations about the game that aren't true.
But it's awesome and deserves most all of the praise it can get.
(I'm actually quite pleased to see that there is a resurgence of popularity, recently, among the internet community.)
And yes: it's awesome enough to name myself after. XD

The only rumor I want confirmed about the game is that the blasphemous class "mathematician" is removed from the game and replaced with soemthing less awful.

Is your kind of game also the kind of game that involves puns at every possible opportunity and literary jokes? (Four of my babynerds have me for English. I lost it when one of them pulled a Crucible ref out of nowhere on one of the NPCs. But hey. Shows at least someone's paying attention when I run my mouth in class.)

Quite the radical change to subtract such a thing. I wager it will be quite divisive should this go through, but we musn't be irrational.

Tempted to try and keep a log of the shenanigans they pull. But oh jeebus, finding time to do it.
I feel your pain, M'Lady, but if you don't start now, you'll regret it later.
I didn't start writing up the Serpent's Skull campaign until Malek's infamous "march across the savannah" (a natural 1 on a Stealth check, with something like a -5 to Stealth anyway, for a 1'10" grippli marching through tall grass. Pretty impressive). And I regretted all the catch-up I had to do.
And geez... some troublemakers have caused that thread to balloon to over 1000 posts. I don't know anyone on this thread that might have contributed to that, do I?
Glares at lions and dragons...

But I have to finish writing an economics unit...
Still, the adventures of "the summoner and the rogue who both think they're in charge while the dwarf cleric flirts with everything" probably need written down.

Screw it, I'm sharing the Crucible thing. It made me laugh. Context - I make the juniors start the year with reading it.
Party had received marching orders from Cressida, specifically about
The ranger bangs her fist down on the table and yells, "IT'S THAT DARNED PUTNAM AGAIN!"
The other three in that class begin immediately accusing everyone of witchcraft. The two who are not juniors just...stare at them.

New cashier: Why don't you say anything when Captain Yesterday is twelve minutes late!
Manager: Captain Yesterday can lift over 80 lbs.
Speaking of lousy work ethics (:-P), sometimes you wonder what the h*** someone was thinking...
Shiro decided to trade in his Alfa Romeo for a custom offroad Jeep Wrangler. So he got all the details, e-mailed the dealership, and said, "OK, I'll be there at such-and-such a time to pick up the car."
They sent back, "OK, great! We'll be ready with all the paperwork done for you!"
He's a very simple man. "Tell me what it costs, I'll pay it, and I won't have to deal with your car salesman nonsense, making both of us happy."
So all these guys had to do was be ready for him and they'd make thousands in commission for maybe 20-30 minutes of work.
And they chose to flake on him, so he took his business elsewhere.
I mean, "CY, carry that box to the back" is a little bit different than, "CY, if you carry that box to the back then a customer's going to show up and pick up the box and hand you a check for $5000".
I somehow think CY would have moved the box in the second case...

I would move anything anywhere for 5000.
I once dug a trench by hand for a $100 tip (our boss wanted us to use a trencher and blast through his phone line and then repair them when we were done, but he worked online from home and tipped us each 100 for not disrupting his day).
Yeah, I just can't think of a car dealer anywhere in the U.S. who would hear, "Yeah, I'm going to trade in my luxury sports car for its listed Kelly Blue Book value, then pay you MSRP for a new car in cash, as long as I don't have to haggle," and not explode at the opportunity to shaft a consumer that thoroughly.
I honestly don't know the prices of the cars involved, but, "I'll take your listed prices on everything," is universally a bad idea at dealerships if you're actually not interested in enriching them excessively.
