Bloodsport

Why is it bad: wooden 80's acting and martial arts dialogue.

Why is it good: Once you start watching it, you have to watch till the end. I know someone who was late to his own wedding. Excuse? "Bloodsport was on."

Huzzah! Another homebrewer!! When civilization collapses, my friend, our brewing skills will be the envy of all!!!

Only if you can grow hops and malt.

Which I do. In my suburban yard. Hops, Malt, sorghum, boil down maple tree sap for syrup, and raise bees for honey.

In the 3.5 days I was DMIng a campaign and we had a fighter/sorcerer who was building himself much the way a magus now is. He also spent skill points in performance: singing and profession:blacksmith. The party fAced a were-rat with pipes of the sewers and won, and said fighter decided to burn the pipes in a forge while he was working on his sword and singing. This was my first "you do what?" moment

I decided to play with the idea a bit as he was burning the musical magic item while working on his hereditary blade and introducing his own music, so when he learned to throw his sword to take out opponents, I said the whistling of the blade attracted rats and mice to the area. This was his "wait... What?!" moment.

He decided to burn this foul magic from the blade. Being a specialist in fire and lightning he prepped his spells, and then said "to burn the magic from the sword, I channel all my spells for the day thru it and plunge it into the ground."

I say "wait... What? Now? You know youre in the wild magic zone where arcane magic is unstable ,yes?"

Him "yup. I do it now."

So I let him burn the magic out. And then all the mice and rats in the forest became sentient and thought he was their creator god.

10,000 years of history. That's rather a lot. I remember disliking that in Eberron as well (much more so, there, actually).

Cutting timeline ages by a factor of ten (or at least five!) would neatly streamline that, I think.

Considering that the Epic of Gilgamesh is at least 4000 years old and there is evidence of writing systems around 5000 years old in the real world, 10,000 years is really only about 2 or 2.5 times the timeframe of known/documented real world history.

And the Real World didn't have races with lifespans 2 to 5 times the length of humans to account for. 10k of years is only 25 generations of elves or so. That same number of human generations only gets us from roughly the end of the Middle Ages to the present in our history.

I just realised that the Alchemist can choose both Chiurgeon and Vivisectionist. That is one hell of a doctor...

I have a male halfling alchemist (Master Chymest prestige class), whose mutagenic form thinks it's a half-orc female paladin who throws holy fire at her enemies.
