I use Dvorak for playing WoW. I just remapped the movement keys to use ',.aoe instead of qweasd... It all seems to work fine now except to I have to use the mouse to bring up my socials window (which used to be mapped to o, I keep thinking I'm going to map it to something different but haven't yet)
Essay Claiming 'Scientific Consensus' for Global Warming is Ridiculed
"A one-hundred-percent record of 'scientific consensus' on anthropogenic climate change would be a sensational finding indeed. In fact, such a total result would be even more remarkable than any 'consensus' ever achieved in Soviet-style elections," Peiser noted sarcastically."
I switched to the dvorak keyboard when I had to travel for work. It was a real pain dragging my ergonomic keyboard with my laptop through the airport... Now I can type on straight keyboards without pain. I used to have a 5 minute limit.
I used a similar plan to yours when learning. I put stickers on my home computer, and a print out of the layout at work. By the time the labels wore off of my home computer I no longer needed them. I keep the print out at work so I can direct peoples questions towards it...
A very welcome side affect of the keyboard layout switch is that after word got around work, no one even tries to use my computer anymore.:-)
I also share the load on my mouse hand by using the right hand at home, and left hand at work. (I don't mess with the buttons though) It was great when someone came to my desk, reached for my mouse (uninvited) at the right hand side and just got air. (Hieght of the flu season, I'd rather no one touched my mouse or keyboard... Plus, I'm perfectly capable of copying a file from a mapped network drive...)
Typing on QWERTY is painful, but usually all I have to type is my username and password. People on my team learned that if they wanted my help either to come to my computer, or setup their computer so I could switch layouts. (or they can control their own computer...)
Incase you are wondering, my concern about disease spread through mouse and keyboard sharing does not make me the wierdo at work! Most of the developers on the team would agree with me. The Dvorak keyboard, and left handed mouse use might though...
All I can type on a qwerty keyboard is my username and password...
I learned the Dvorak keyboard (all by myself) over Christmas break one year. So I'd say if your class is more than two or three weeks long you are teaching the wrong keyboard layout....
It's important to have some instruction in proper hand placement and technique though I would think.

Master Tactician is a prestige class from the Miniture Handbook. I'm guessing he would make use of the ability to have an adjacent space be used to determine if you are flanking. I'll have to check into the MT when I get home. (Then convince my group to allow stuff from the miniture book. The Mage slayer feat freaked everyone out...)
The ranger's animal companion would probably be better than a familliar...
I'm thinking a ranger/rogue/Master Tactician could be good...
The rules for sneak attack explicitly say either opponent denied dex bonus, or flanked...

Shouldn't it be modded Troll or flamebait? He/she is obviously taunting us...
