Rangers as a class were fine. I had a wonderful low STR (~10) ranger that I loved playing as a hunter sort. Moderateratly high dex, really really high Con.
It was one class level of ranger that killed it. Take one level ranger, get a d10 hit die, a +1 BaB added, Fort save increase, three free feats (two that only work in light armor) and you had a problem. 1st level: Rogue 2nd: Ranger 3-20 Rogue... and you had a game killer. : )
While I'd love to have my own foam-rubber/prop/whaterver facehugger from Alien(s)... Could you really sleep, I mean really really sleep well, knowing that thing was in your house?
And don't even get me started about Scottie's Suit.
And perhaps, just perhaps, there are people who will find a hole in whatever is proposed?
I'll volunteer space in my yard. It can be rented for free electricity. Put up one wind-generation tower. It's not noisy, and though the blades do produce noise, though not quite as has been.... sugguested... that sort of low frequency noise, being created by a very low power source, would barely travel a meter before giving out most of it's energy.
I'll rate these concerns as (-1, uninformed) because I really don't think UGL is trying to troll. He might just work in oil. : )
Anyway, back on point. What's clean and unobtrusive about natural energy sources? Would you rather have an oil or coal plant just upwind of you? I imagine the soot alone could weigh down your house rather "nastily" in very short order (yeah, I know they filter most of it anymore). Regardless, a bit of saftey, an area coated in pebbles below the turbine, and we're good to go.
That I could see. I imagine that there would probably be significantly less public outcry when a hydrogen tanker beached itself on a sandbank, and it's hull started to crack. : )
Large compressed gas cylendars probably wouldn't cause too much chaos. Now, if only derigibles were an economic method of transport. : p
International Power Sharing/Leasing/Selling is all well and good. However, I truely doubt that the large scale implied by the poster would ever happen. All cables are lossy. Pushing power along cables has energy lost, dependent mostly on how far you're pumping the juice. (Also, voltage, current, resistance of the wire, local EMFs, and all sorts of minor things too)
While it would rock to have clean energy finally adopted... Carting it across long distances still sucks.
Gimme Wind, Gimme Solar, hell, I'll even take Geothermal, just make it clean, unobtrusive, and if you'd like, I can sell you some good land in my back yard. *me mutters about pretentions NIMBY asses*
Ties leads to Glaucoma. Glaucoma leads to Pot (Yeah, yeah, cataracts, whatever) Pot leads to other drugs... Other drugs? Hell with that Pot leads to farking Carpentry! Hey, man, I betcha I could make a bong outta that orange, three matches, and John Denver.
And, on a lighter note: Think of the money you can make taking exotic vacations and causing havok! Insider trading laws be damned, this could be a wonderfully abusable system.

And in other news, the Boston police department just announced that every resident is in violation of a citywide law. They won't, however, tell us which law that might be.
I didn't sign the NDA and was able to witness the Boston Police's internal meetings. The law that is currently being breached citywide is the failure of the residents to carry a shotgun when on the Boston Green, for fear of bear. Google it, it's there, and it's on the books still : )
Slashdot Mirror
Hey, at least we know there's a chance this one will get to market.
I _loved_ HL, and still play new and evolving Mods for it constantly... not that one Counter-S something one. : )
September, December, it's still this year, and that'll be okay by me.
(But I'm still hoping for September)

That's the truth, and a statement, not a book.

So... 'f she weighs the same as a duck.
Does that mean she's lying, or telling the truth?
I've got the 3rd edition books, even bought 'em locally to help my gameshop. I now have a SRD with the majority of 3.5's changes.
:D
Due to easier format, I now have a snazzy, easy reference to rules I had been bending my DMG to get photocopies of (Those last ~8 pages)
Maybe I'm somewhat alone in the no-screen DMing... But it makes my concience clear when I kill a PC

We could make a movie and a long-running hour-long TV series about that! ... : )
So help me, I'm a SG-1 fan.
If you've heard your Denis Leary, you'd know...
Ties leads to Glaucoma.
Glaucoma leads to Pot (Yeah, yeah, cataracts, whatever)
Pot leads to other drugs... Other drugs? Hell with that
Pot leads to farking Carpentry! Hey, man, I betcha I could make a bong outta that orange, three matches, and John Denver.
Holy Crap.
That's disgusting.
And, on a lighter note: Think of the money you can make taking exotic vacations and causing havok! Insider trading laws be damned, this could be a wonderfully abusable system.
God, I hope this is a joke.
Do you often find that people confuse you with other easily typable names: Bruce Brackets? Bruce Curly-Braces? And the like?
Bruce () does however, rock.
One of it's primary goals is to avoid shady paths by knowing the location of everything in the solar system?
I mean, I've heard of over-engineered. But really folks? : ) That's Scalability.
And I had to remake the product again, but this time I had to do it faster, and it wasn't as good.
So... I scan a product. :: beep beep ::
And I get free, instant, corporation level blackmail?
Sweet.

I've got the technology to do that... but I've got one final flaw that needs fixed. My keyboard is incompatable with the exploit, all I've got a Ab s (A Flats) : (
So what you're saying is Windows, without proper patches & updating us unsecure?
Sounds like every other OS out there! : )
Nah, thanks for calling attention to this, I'm going to be patching my clients to 9.0b tonight.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.
It's not Karma Whoring when you can't get Karma. : )
I have seen Big Brother. And he uses a Mac. :: Shudder ::

When good Spammers go bad?
:: Jonsey's Head Explodes ::
Logically, the only good spammer, is a dead spammer.
Therefore, all good spammers are past their experation date already.
So logically, all good spammers must be bad.
We're ruled, "By the People, For the People"... Just without the People.
