Nope, not every fight. His success in tournaments is variable. Still, it'll be a long time before he has a chance of winning. the tournament winners are usually anything from level 30 to 70.

I don't know. I see yours managed seven, and I think that's probably one more than my best.

And you got taken down HARD. Still, you were level 5 v 10. And not only that, he's a powerful level 10; take a look at all the powers he has. No wonder he inflicted almost 60 points with that club!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And they will be, given the APIs available and the overall openness of the system.

You seem to be assuming that there is overlap between the programming and role-playing game communities.

You seem to be assuming that there is overlap between the programming and role-playing game communities.

Considering that many current RPG sites have developer communities creating all kinds of web tools, program extensions, and even iPhone apps, that's not an assumption. It's a reality.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Holy sh*t, I knew I should have gone to that Super Bowl party!

Or rather, my former housemate is friends with those guys, one has a place a few blocks away from me, if you want me to ask for details.
