The trick with the vampire is to have a bunch of creations that hit things easily, and then equip the Magic Blessed Spawnerskin Torc of Incantatorialistic Burning Wizardry, so you get the HP bonus from your creations. As a side note this finally makes it worthwhile to invest in Endurance, at least when it's cheap.

Has anyone found a use for the Ring of Ma'Ruf that's hidden in Learned Darian's toilet yet?

I agree about Specter. From what I've seen, it seems like he acts with integrity and sometimes even with actual thinking, which is rare among any breed of politician.

That certainly isn't true, whether you are talking about levels of Create X skills or the general Shaping skills.

I think I've discovered the true meaning of the "Whore of Babylon" metaphor in the Bible. It wasn't referring to Rome. It was referring to these boards. ...clearly.

When I was an elementary school, a couple of my friends ran a MUD on the school network. It was just a vaguely edited Diku clone, but it was great. We felt like gods. Those were the days.

1) University of Chicago.
2) Yes.
3) Yes and No. I made the choice when I was 17 and went through myriad changes by the time I started; 18-year-old Slarty might not have gone there. So in some ways it was never a good fit. On the other hand, my other choices were all out in the boondocks, and living in Chicago had a big, positive impact on me.
4) No.
5) INKEY$

You need at least 4 points in Animal Husbandry AND several extra points in the appropriate shaping skill at the time you shape a creation you want to use in breeding. Otherwise, they won't be made capable of it.

I recommend breeding Ornks so you can get an Oozebeast or a Nine-Headed Ornk!

Note however that breeding is in violation of Shaper law and will change your dialogue options in a few places. You can get around this by using Learned Darian.

Originally written by S is for Synergy:

Slartucker is working out the math right now how much Brain Dexterity affects Digit Coordination and Dumb Luck also required to open the door.
For the last time Synergy, Dumb Luck doesn't affect opening doors unless the doors were not given 2 points of Intelligence. And Brain Dexterity is always a worse value than Digit Coordination -- by the time the math is about to favor Brain Dexterity, the 10-cap kicks in. The bonus from the Gazerskin Knickers is still useful, although I prefer the Quicksilver Thong in general.

Everyone will tell you something different, no doubt. I'll suggest Nephil's Gambit, which has by far the most interesting and believable story of any scenario I've ever seen. The story is well-delivered, and the gameplay and writing are both solid, full of wonderful details.

Also, it's one of exactly two scenarios I've seen (and the only one for BoE) that build on the world of Exile in a way that makes any sense whatsoever. I can't recommend it enough.

Nope, stun resistance is based on Strength. Luck will also contribute a little.

And Alorael is right -- Intelligence does not contribute to spell strength at all. (In Exile, it was the ONLY thing that contributed to it, but that has changed.)

there have been studies that indicate part of bullying is an inability (by the bully) to properly participate in play and bullies can therefore be taught how to interact on a proper level and forego the need to bully
Pardon me for reading this as a flaming load of bovine leavings... it's much better to teach the kids being bullied how to fight back, or at least take it in stride.

I'd rather make a big chunk of the population more assertive than make a few individuals more passive.
Pardon me, but no -- there's nothing bovine about that remark at all. If someone can't handle a bully, they need to learn how to do that; but the bully also needs to learn how to have positive social interactions. It's a basic life skill and it's hard to function without it. Most people don't think of it as a skill because it comes naturally, but it really is a skill and for some children it seems impossible to achieve.

People are people.

(...so why should it be you and I should get along so awfully? DUM DUM DUM!)

75% Pacifist
60% Citizen
45% Guardian
30% Altruist
25% Hedonist
20% Miscreant
20% Loner
15% Conqueror
10% Narcissist
10% Destroyer

"Citizen" weirds me out a bit, especially since the quiz won't let you read descriptions for anything save your first choice.
