Fleeting Whisper

There are no intentions of letting Mids' Hero Designer disappear.

MtG got traps in the Zendikar set
(Archive Trap is really really mean... 3UU, target player mills 13 cards. And if you play it the same turn as they search their library, you can play it for 0 instead of 3UU. 4xArchive Trap = 52 cards, standard deck is 60 cards, opening hand is 7 unless you mulligan.)

There is an explicitly stated design rule from Wizards about the MtG Quest enchantments (also Zendikar): commons and uncommon Quest cards are sacrificed for their effect to activate. Rare Quest cards stick around and keep working.

They don't want to pay any money to the trolls.


+1 for trying to carsurf when I started playing

Um... no?

No accuracy required:

• Darkest Night
• Chill of the Night (auto power PBAoE used by Dark Servant)
• Radiation Infection
• Liquefy
• Hurricane
• Flash Arrow*
• Earthquake
• Smoke*
• Smoke Grenade (Night Widow version)

* Autohit in PvE, but not in PvP

I may have missed some, but not all -tohit powers require a hit check.

You could also look at it like the popup text the game uses.

Powers such as those in Super Reflexes produce messages like "Dodged" or "Avoided" - wherever the attack was, you weren't there. Force Fields, Shields, and the like produce "Deflected" - the attack hit its mark, but it was averted by the thing protecting you. Demonic Aura/Eye of the Magus* produces "Absorbed" - the attack hit, the attack stuck, the attack was not deflected away or altered by any external force... it just had no effect on you.

* I don't know offhand of any power other than these two which produces this message

The only people who don't have empathy are robots and sociopaths. Not all villains are robots suffering from sociopathy.

If you dip into power pools, SR can get softcapped defense on just SOs.

I can't vouch for all 4 patrons at once (and few tankers are able to do that anyway), but I was on a team with a Blaster acting as our tank when we took the patrons on one at a time.

The Blaster didn't tank Recluse, though. We stuck Sonic Cage on recluse while we took down the towers.

Both kheldian varieties, actually

I also switch trays when I exemplar low enough that my normal set of powers isn't good enough. For example, my lv50 Mastermind doesn't have Sands of Mu in her tray, and Nemesis Staff is in slot 7. However, I've got powers rearranged in tray 8, and I switch to it when I exemplar below my normally used powers.

I am...

The Elegant Nova of Progression!

Eew

Because SMASH!

No, Castle's example was changing Build Up to "Build up" a small cottage. Hence the OP's suggestion to change Build Up.

Less to do with random number, but interesting all the same:

In base-10, we all know that 1/3 cannot be accurately represented as it repeats infinitely (0.333...333...etc.)

But did you know that 1/10 (0.1 in base-10) has the exact same issue when represented in binary (base-2)?

The More You Know!

Last D&D game I was in, we put Speak With Animals to great use. We interrogated a chimpanzee, which actually solved the quest in about half the time the GM expected us to take

Don't forget, if you get far enough away from your pets (~300ft) and stop long enough (~1s), your pets will teleport to you (playing their summon animation again). Even if they get into trouble, 300ft is far enough away to lose any critter's aggro.

Gimme a few years, I'll make one for ya. Not sure if I'll have time before finishing my degree, but it's on my to-do list now

I think D9 heralds back to older written science fiction, and to classical fiction in general*. It's not really about the literal story, but a means to create a message or present an idea wrapped in a fictional (or fictionally scientific in the case of SciFi) world. For an obvious and forthright example, see Animal Farm. For something more subtle, see War of the Worlds.

* D9 is not the only modern visual or textual SciFi to do this, it's just the subject of discussion

No, you can get 5 pets who don't listen to you (one of which doesn't even move! The nerve!), one of which summons his own pet which doesn't listen to him, either.

Edit: Just noticed you said /storm, which adds another pet too stubborn to move, and a pet which doesn't even do what it tells itself to do.

I have 6 henchmen who are compelled to do my eeebil bidding.
(Plus ghost henchmen for Necromancy, and a swarm of minions for Thugs and Demon Summoning)

Touché, good sir. They are listed in a window titled "Pets", too.

But tactics isn't a strategy! D:
(Tactics being the means to achieve objectives set by a strategy)

Chill of the Night has a 10ft radius. Knockout Blow has a 13ft range, and Foot Stomp has a 15ft radius. Then there's Hurl, with an 80ft range, and you haven't even gotten to APPs.

Oh, and while it's true that a single KOB won't mez a boss, the boss also won't activate CotN while in midair. And while it's true that Dark Servants always have CotN active, DS isn't a boss.

And honestly, there is very little that an upper-level character has to worry about with regard to -tohit aside from Chill of the Night. It's a damn good thing I flashback to level 29 for the dark mirror arcs, or else I'd be facing 8 Dark Servants in order to get my Army of Me badge.

Actually, at best you miss 1 out of 2 times, thanks to the streakbraker forcing you to never miss twice in a row (assuming final hit chance above 90%). Without the streakbreaker, you could miss at best every single time.

While this is apparently the opposite of the previous sentence, I'll roll with it. Yes, you can miss less than 1 in 20. It's extremely possible to, in fact, not miss at all. In fact, assuming a 95% hit rate, you've got about a 35.85% chance to hit 20 times straight in a row. 80 straight hits in a row is about 1% chance, but still possible. You see 95% chance to hit, and think 5% chance to miss. But it's still a 95% chance to hit.

If you're looking for a contiguous string of hits, your odds go down as you make larger and larger strings that you want to examine. But each individual hit is still 95%.

The die analogy, while probably the original source for the clamp values, is not a very good one. In a game of D&D (or other tabletop game using a d20 system), rolling a 1 means you've failed, period. But rolling a 2 rarely means you succeed. In fact, rolling below a 10 is often pretty iffy as to whether you can be successful on the roll. You could argue that the skill modifiers in D&D are analogous to our tohit and accuracy buffs, changing the number we need to roll for success. But for a vast number of characters here, it's either failure on a 1 or overwhelming success. In a tabletop game, that sliding scale that you need to hit is always changing.
