I have quite a few little things that are "strange" that I do, but the one that I just can't explain is, whenever I'm looking through enought books (say at a library, bookstore or even my personal novel collection) my bladder will decide it's time to go NOW. And it's not like I have a weak...

This, 10x this. I could totally see him as the final boss for some action RPG. In the intro cutscene for his fight, you slash/shoot/magic him, and then he EATS ONE OF YOUR PARTY MEMBERS. Cue moral choice of either fighting him alone to save the others, or not and risk them also being eaten if...

So, if I get this will I still need to double-tap the zombie I just shot?

It's all in the context and how he says it but... "That's bullshit!"-Nines Rodriguez, from Vampire: the masquerade - Bloodlines intro

d20srd.org This website has most of the "numbers" of all 3 core books (player's handbook, dungeon master's guide and monster manual). It won't tell you how to run a campaign or how to build a character, but if you're looking for that obscure rule (like grappling) or some ability, then...

Harry Potter. Seriously, if you want people to learn from books, you first have to make them like books, and Harry Potter is probably the book that most children would find enjoyement from IMO. It's got plenty of action, not too long (the first one at least) but still long enough to be a...

It's a number. And a concept. Because all numbers are concepts (or fillers, or whatever you want to call it). Even your "normal" numbers. Don't believe me, then find me, find a 21. Not 21 things, but A 21. Or someone feeling 21 if you think it's an emotion. Or doing 21 if you think it's an...

The only fictional character who's ever actually made me feel like he really deserved to die just because he was so evil (as opposed to because that's how the story should go) was Yawgmoth from the Magic: The Gathering universe, so I'm going to have to go with him.

I don't find it good personally, but Dofus has a combat system I've seen in no other MMO: It's turn based. Yes there are cooldowns on some abilities, but it's really not the feel of just waiting for them to be ready again. The combat system is just awesome IMO. And it's free (at least basic...

I don't think a cleric that doesn't heal is party unfriendly. The thing is, you have to fit with your group, so if they are all sword and board fighters and you go the Divine metamagic: Persit way, then you are being party unfriendly. But if you go healbot and are playing with an Ubercharger...

If used correctly, you shouldn't even have to use rule 0 after character creation (make sure your party is balanced then, and you shouldn't have to many problems). Also make sure they know you use rule 0 BEFORE the game starts, and that broken stuff will not work, or work differently. And that...

If you play low-optimization yes, well optimized clerics don't use heal spells. Although your right that short adventuring days are one of the bad things about even mildly optimized D&D.

Rule 0 is the rule that states that the DM is always right, and in any conflict between rule 0 and another printed rule, rule 0 wins. I'm not sure if it's actually called rule 0 in the books, but it IS in the dungeon master's guide, and an unwritten rule in most systems. It basically comes from...

Wait, what D&D^^ because IMO: PF>4E PF>3.5 if your DM does not know about rule 0 or ignores it 3.5>PF if your DM does know about and use efficiently rule 0

While this is true for experienced players, it is not for beginners so it won't crop up as a problem until some time (depending on how fast you pick up on the loopholes-ish), and then, well, that's why you have rule 0 (the DM is always right, even when it goes against written rules) The DM can...
