Huh. I and my friends did not use that interpretation. Partly it was because of the dramatically increasing amount of time it took to memorise spells, I think. If one of our level 12 wizards had expended all their spells it took them eighteen hours of effort to memorise them all anew. According to the rules, you could only spend eight hours a day on memorising spells before you tired too much to maintain the effort. Thus, at that point, it took us three days to go from empty to full. Losing everything overnight would have made that impossible, obviously. It got worse at higher levels. I can not remember precisely how long it took him but there was this 30th level NPC wizard in the campaign. We worked out that if he fired off everything he had, it would take him around half a month to recover everything he had spent.

I have played tabletop RPGs for years. Unfortunately, I just did not have any ideas for your thread. I am sorry.

Trail Camera and Other Nature Images

I think it would be better if you knew it off the cat, anyway. -
I can't even remember seeing that premise done decently. It is too often done for laughs in situations that are not really funny.

I am more interested in what happens if he gets hit by gender flipping magic. Will he turn into Madamleck?

The Old Hack replied to Pharaoh RutinTutin's topic in Comic Discussion
Ah, my apologies. I was clearly not paying proper attention. -
You can thank the Pharaoh for those. He needed to find something to do for some of his relatives and thought of the combination tomb-and-toll booth. All they have to do to go to work now is to open the sarcophagus and stagger to the window of the booth and collect taxes just like in the old days.

I knew it. The whole mess is a shell game.

Sounds reasonable to me. 'Friends and family', to me, includes the families of friends. Welcome back after long absence, Chronos. Just to set matters straight, Chronos was a forumgoer before I was.

I am sorry. I was confusing my linguistic terms. Danish has thirty-two vowel phonemes that can be subdivided into ten phones. English has seven of these.
-
Danish has ten vowel phonemes. We used to have eleven but one has more or less fallen completely out of use. A, E, I, O, U and Y did not cover our needs so we added the extra characters Æ, Ø and Å to our alphabet. Yes, I know that in English the vowel status of U and Y is questionable. We Danes didn't care. We sent them to a retraining camp and now they serve us as full time vowels.

I said he could buy one. I said nothing about rolling.

Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required) (Content TV-MA)
The Old Hack replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
*sigh* I hope things will work out. I know this must feel disappointing but modern medicine is a very wide field. There might still be a good solution somewhere out there. -

According to Nioi, it treated a colour changing spell and a temporary rejuvenation spell as a curse. I think that durn thing is way too trigger happy on the false positives. -
I don't have one of these handy, but you can buy a vowel.

Big talk from the Pharaoh who built his kingdom on the backs of camels.

No, I prefer Clydesdales.

That would be if there were no PLOT reason for her presence. There is one. Magus wants a witness who can explain his motivations to the currently possessed and presumably unaware Elliot. -
I'm sorry. I don't watch Tom Cruise movies.

I want to know what the anniversary of the paper shredder is. There is no more satisfying way to deal with the excess forms documenting forms that document forms. In an office I used to work in, the paper shredder was voted the greatest office accessory ever made.

Certainly you can have the expectation, it just isn't proof.
-
And a bigger chance of that than any other individual outcome.
-
We only see Magus' head and shoulders, and not much of the shoulders. The superficial impression is male but that may be because he was male in all the other images on the page. In other words, insufficient data.

The chances of rolling a seven on two dice is one in six. It is not coincidental, it is by far the most common outcome when rolling two dice.

video games Video Game Discussion Part 3
The Old Hack replied to Zorua's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Oh yes. This could happen, too. I still remember with vast satisfaction how a level 59 rogue once went on a killing spree in our starting area. He got himself swarmed by lowbies. He had a crowd of at least a dozen or more of us constantly using stuns, roots and whatever else we could think of on him. Some of them kept getting through and eventually he went down under a pile of enraged level 6 to 11 characters. We had a field day on the forums with that one. Another rather less extreme example took place in the desert next to the enormous Un'Goro Crater. A level 60 night elf rogue decided to gank two undead priests who were adventuring next to the crater. These two were both level 48, I think. Normally he would likely have won handily but instead both priests used mind control on him and made him jump into the Crater. The furious rogue had to spend a long time recovering his body due to the vast distances and finally returned almost half an hour later, bent on revenge. When he attacked them, they mind controlled him once more and had him leap into the Crater again. At that point he made a fatal mistake. He went on the forums and complained about how he had been treated. Needless to say, the levels of sympathy for a ganker targeting victims far below him in level were not exactly high. The storms of scorn that greeted him were awesome to behold. He made one last outraged attempt and posted, "Well, what would YOU say if some crappy undead priest mind controlled you to jump into Un'Goro Crater?" The very next post replied, "I would say, AIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" For some reason he gave up after that.
