Eccleston is a fine actor. The Dark World suffered from s#@!ty writing and editing.
I have that problem, but only with comment threads underneath product descriptions.
Is the Artificer worthwhile to convert to PF? If so, what would need to be done? Drop Dead Studios published The Artisan a few years ago. It is an almost direct conversion of the Artificer and should work well.
That is very generous. I'm in.
She damns peoples souls just because she has a personal grudge with them letting personal feelings get in the way of her duty is not ruling fairly and justly.Judges are suppose to rule fairly and justly so she more of a tyrannical dictator of the dead than a judge.Who says she doesn't rule fairly and justly? And by whose measure of fairness and justice? Anyone with ultimate authority is going to be called (or seen) as a tyrannical dictator by those that don't agree with that authority figure. Do you have an example?
Scalpels are used for births not daggers. Daggers are meant for killing but in pathfinder they are like one of the worse weapons to do so with and I highly doubt doctors(at least most of them) go around shanking babies with daggers.Pharasma would be my pick, she is everything I would like except for two little flaws, deals with death and has the domain check, deals with fate check, deals with rebirth check, has the healing domain check, true neutral check, favored weapon dagger whyyy??? this should be a scythe, and the most important deal breaker.... she hates undead and wants them all to die.Because she's the goddess of birth as well as death. Knives are not only used to sever the connection between an infant and the mother (by cutting the umbilical cord), but are also needed to perform a Caesarean section in case something goes wrong. Please note that I wrote "knives". Scalpels are a kind of knife. Just see the dagger as a symbolic representation of a scalpel.
Yennefer is about 100 years old when she meets Geralt. The actress is 21. Even with Elven blood, Yennefer should not look like she was barely out of her teens.Yennefer made herself look a lot younger with magic. All the sorcerers do, but Yenn took it to massive extremes because of her deformity. At one point in the books Jaskier says she looks about 16 years old (at another point someone says she looks about 20, so she may have adjusted the glamour). Oh, good. I didn't need to know about Sapkowski's fantasies.
It's not full HTTPS. The login page is not secure.
It's certainly a relief to watch a Doctor Who episode with a well-told story and not something where the people involved threw crap at the wall and waited for something to stick.
Pharasma has at least one sect of undead hunters based in Osirion and probably another one in Ustalav.
Pharasma would be my pick, she is everything I would like except for two little flaws, deals with death and has the domain check, deals with fate check, deals with rebirth check, has the healing domain check, true neutral check, favored weapon dagger whyyy??? this should be a scythe, and the most important deal breaker.... she hates undead and wants them all to die.

May Pharasma and Iomedae forgive this humble soul for committing an act of necromancy. I just got this book and so far it is fantastic, but I have to ask, does anyone else think that a young Ailson Kindler looks just like Larsa and vis versa? If this has any actual meaning to it and is not an unorthodox coincidence, just reply "Spoiler", please and thank you. Just keep reading.
"Ancestry" sounds incredibly clunky and you will never see a person in the real world use that word in conversation when talking to another person, outside of academia. And even there they would use words like "ethnicity", "nationality" or "race". Firstly, your personal experience is anecdotal and cannot be generalised. People do use species in everyday conversation when applicable. Secondly, you are German, are you not? If I'd meet anybody using "Rasse" when talking about human beings (and not about dogs, for example), I'd be extremely wary of that person, for obvious reasons. Btw, "Herkunft" (i. e. Ancestry) is rather common in my experience.
Yes, the layout is still confusing. I hope it's better in the final product. What I don't understand, however, is that your kids had no problem with learning the rules from the PF1 rulebook which is laid out in a similar way.
Did I spot Tig Notario in the trailer? Also, Spock won't be in it as "he's on leave." Okay. Avoids a challenging bit of recasting. Well, apparently he's connected to whatever is going on, so I suppose we're going to see him.
The good thing: Once you find the overview of all the messageboards (like so), the navigation is not different from the old site. I think a lot of people would appreciate that link put into the Community drop-down. The downsides: The main page is pretty much interchangeable with any other corporate website. I know mobile devices are going to be king, but the whole drop-down shebang is unnecessarily clunky on desktop computers. I am also disappointed about the third-party scripts loading with the site.
Absalom has a big arena for gladiatorial combat. I'd say the presence of Gorum's church is pretty strong presence there.
Meh. My "parcel" (in reality the size of a CD case) was totally harmless and boring.
The page had options for US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand on the personal info page. No idea what you should do if you're not in one of those six. Thanks. I'm not. I'm also slightly worried now.
Does the company deliver outside the US? Because the other day, I received a notification about a package for which I have to sign personally was on its way to me... I didn't order anything.
It's a good thing you know your way around animals.
Malfoy senior is a badass, I love him even more nowIf it's one thing that will keep me watching it's Jason Isaacs. He is a good actor. I wonder why you don't give Lorca a hard time. He did a similar thing to Landry in the very same episode, it just didn't backfire as badly. I agree that Spoiler:
Landry didn't need to die to get the point across. It probably would have been even better for her story if she'd had survived. But that doesn't change the fact that her decision was entirely human. "Real people" don't act like Vulcans. Btw, Denise Crosby wanted out because she felt the writer's room didn't know what to do with her character anymore.
Try to separate your perspective from Michael's and seeing the issue from Landry's. Michael has spent the last 6 months in prison. Landry has been fighting a war, probably seeing friends and maybe family die. Now one of the key resources of the Federation is under threat and she feels the need to do something. People frequently do rash and stupid things, no matter how smart or well-conditioned they are otherwise. Sometimes even the best training cannot help to suppress these impulses.
You forgot desperate. Which overrules all your complaints.
As someone who is still planning a campaign in Yarnham, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, even if I haven't looked at the material yet.
I'd say that there are outsiders of all kinds whose task it is to continuously scry for copies, so celestials as well as fiends would come for your PCs. For example, the Great Library of Harmonious Scripture in Heaven stores and destroys items of great power.
Adding to what Anguish wrote, if you have Ghostery or Ublock Origin installed in your browser, you will notice that there are no third-party-domains being loaded with the site. That is veritably unheard of nowadays and adds to Paizo's trustworthyness.
To do that was what? 2 or 3 books crammed into one season and there was a LOT going on in those books. I think fans would still be pretty disappointed even with a season format. They would need to either stop adapting the novels after The Dark Elf trilogy or heavily rewrite all the stuff that comes after. The fans will not be happy in both cases anyway.
Endwandling is now my totally accepted headcanon translation for Lanstwall That is actually not bad.
I've always pronounced Daemon with a long "a", kind of like Day-Mon. And Demon with a long "e", Dee-Mon. Is that not correct? I've heard that, too, but I thought the pronunciation was 'dah-mon' (similar to 'dark'). EDIT:
"Reek! Rhymes with leek!" SCNR
I personally am annoyed by Paizo just taking words that mean 'ghost' from different languages and apply them to their critters. We already have a 'Geist' in the German translation, thank you very much.That's not much of Paizo's choice but a legacy issue from earlier editions of (A)D&D. And a constant problem with many fantasy creations... Did the Geist, the Nemhain, the Siabur and the Tiyanak exist in earlier editions? I don't mind including monsters from different cultures, but they should remain close to the original and their names should not be used to describe unrelated creatures. @ConanTheGrammarian: We are German. That is simply not done. (The language purist here are almost as bad as in France.)
The issue with the Svartalfar is even worse: they've used the plural to designate a single creature. The singular is Svartalf. The Wikkawak might be a creature from Inuit legend and a couple of monsters starting with X might come from Mesoamerican cultures. I personally am annoyed by Paizo just taking words that mean 'ghost' from different languages and apply them to their critters. We already have a 'Geist' in the German translation, thank you very much. EDIT: @Set: 'Cauchemar' is French for 'nightmare'.
Maybe the good Eldest crossed over to the new world and became real gods or Empyreal Lords? Shelyn, Dou-Bral and Thron seem likely candidates, for example.
Very succinct. I like it. Related: “The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.”
I'm fine with most of the changes, but I would like a clarification on #1. Will everybody use that system or only the PCs? Because I don't know whether I agree with PCs and NPCs/monsters using different HP resources.
Pharasma. A non-evil goddess of death and birth? Thank you very much. I like that she oversees the whole life cycle of living beings, from the cradle to the grave, with a no-nonsense attitude.
Question: when a piece of Limbo is torn away, are the Proteans angry that a piece of is gone or are they happy that it's going someplace new? Yes.
I can't speak for Path of War, but Dreamscarred Press's Psionics is definitely balanced. The pc may be able to single-handedly deal with an encounter once (and he might need to), but will probably be suffering from a lack of power points afterwards. The most important rule to remember is that psionic characters cannot spend more power points on any one power than their manifester level.
Hama, the piece you linked is misleading. If you click through to the original article in the Daily Telegraph, there is no mention of "deaf people" (except for the headline that is supposed to raise the ire of the mostly conservative readers). Attendees were asked not to whoop. The Union later introduced a motion to prevent clapping and whooping in the future (which goes a little too far). There was no ban or a threat of "consequences" during the conference.
If the powers are on the general Psion/Wilder list, every Psion or Wilder can learn them. (Think about it: the Generalist Psion would not be able to chose any powers otherwise). You cannot take powers restricted to the lists reserved for the specialists, though.
If your lead actor only has 3 weeks to train for a role in which he has to portray an expert martial artist, then you cast the wrong actor. I didn't. And yes, casting an actor with no prior knowledge in martial arts was a mistake. Apparently, it is usual in Hong Kong martial arts cinema to give the actors their choreography only shortly before the takes, because they won't have to memorise too many movements. But you can only do that if the people involved know what they are doing. Finn Jones did not. That's not his fault, though, but the studio's that didn't give him enough time. Compare that to Tony Leung who had never trained in a martial art before taking on the role of Ip Man in The Grandmaster, but was given enough time to prepare. They even postponed production because Leung broke is arm in training. In the end, Leung was very convincing.
strange. I could not (and still can't) find this text in my copy of Ultimate Psionics (which compiles psionics unleashed and psionics expanded, along with a bunch extra). time to check to make sure my PDF isn't hilariously out of date, I suppose. The rules on D20PFSRD are outdated, not the ones in the book. It may be an oversight that PsyWarriors don't get regular access to talents, but you probably safely take 2 (like Cryptic and Dread) if your GM allows it. Also, the feat Access Psionic Talent gives you 5 of them.
If your lead actor only has 3 weeks to train for a role in which he has to portray an expert martial artist, then you cast the wrong actor. I finally worked my way through the series. Finn Jones' abilities are so bad that they made him fight in darkness or with his hood up only so that his stand-in could do everything beyond the rudimentary techniques. And Jones looked sloppy even doing those. Not to mention that he is only a passable actor. The clichéd script didn't help. The supporting cast is good, though, but that barely elevates the series into mediocrity.
It's Turkish cay for me this morning. I finally found a sort that has some strength to it.
Fans of a TV show based on books prefer the show to be as close as possible to the source material... Speak for yourself.
There has yet to be a game based movie... especially a movie incorprating the title of a game, that did not suck.Clue. Silent Hill, too.
Selective realism, really. Because of the HP mechanic, adventurers can survive all sorts of things that should probably be fatal, but we selectively apply the "realism" filter by saying that these sorts of wounds are slow to heal on their own. That is wrong. What Hit Points Represent: Hit points mean two things in the game world: the ability to take physical punishment and keep going, and the ability to turn a serious blow into a less serious one.
