And to contribute to this...
If a level 50 Peacebringer asks how to get to Peregrine Island... That's not a good sign, is it?

Within the timeframe I think it was pretty spot on.
Firefly could have been closer to the top, but oh well. Overall; good list. -
Regen: yes
Siphon life: don't believe so. -
I'd start out with a handful of different characters until you find the one that you want to take to 50. i.e. which is most fun Then I'd get that one to 50 and then decide if you'd like to take any of the others there as well. You may find you want to tweak your 50 some more or you may want to get another one to the same level.

New topic time! Share your opinion.
Of all the candidates, if it weren't for death or misfortune, who do you feel would be best suited to sit the Iron Throne.
(Not who you think will actually win it, who do you think should get it)
Go! -

Using the boogey-man voice is part of the act to keep his identity a secret. Really, why doesn't it seem anyone gets that?

Interesting you bring up Griff/Connington right after we have a discussion on greyscale.
Duh duh dummmmm! -

Not at all. This is why I asked in the "ALL BOOK SPOILERS" thread. I'm pretty sure if the series was still fresh in my mind that I should already see who it is.
Unsure when I'll pick up the book again. TERA is consuming most of my free time, and now if my attention should wane from that there's Beta stuff going on here...
Ok, Griff is Jon Connington, former lord of Griffin's Roost and one of the many Hands of the King for Aerys. He was a Targ loyalist during Robert's Rebellion that at one time had Robert cornered in a small village. It was believed that he should have just burned the village, killing Robert and putting a quick end to the war. But he didn't want to kill innocents and also wanted to kill Robert personally so he waited and this allowed Ned Stark and his forces to save the day. Aerys then had him exiled in Essos where he then joined the Golden Company.
It was rumored that he drank himself to death, which obviously turned out untrue. All part of a greater Varys plot. -
I realize that there will inevitably be anti-Affleck comments regarding his acting or life, but the man can direct and write a movie.

You got me! You got me.
Good move. -

I'm reminded of the recent thread where someone was claiming she's a big phony. And then I laugh at that someone. -

A quick question: I was finally making a bit of progress through Dance with Dragons (before all my attention got devoured by a shiny new game) and I got to the part where Tyrion starts travelling with Griff. Who is Griff, really? I feel like I should know, and the banter between him and Tyrion seemed to hint at the identity as if I should know...

Found this quote from GRRM on the progress of book 6:
Quote:In A Feast for Crows and A Dance With Dragons the POV characters are well spread out from each other. Are they gonna stay that way in Winds of Winter? How much of the sixth book have you written?
The idea is for the sixth book to bring the two storylines together. The fourth and fifth book saw them spreading further apart, and I now hope to reunite them in order to have all the characters in a single volume. I have 200 pages of Winds of Winter in their definitive version, and another 200 more that I am revising. They are in an early stage, so they need more work and I need to polish more details until they read the way I want. Bear in mind that the MS of the last book, A Dance With Dragons, had 1,500 pages, so I still have hundreds of pages ahead of me.
As soon as I am done with the long tour I hope to go back home, lock myself up, and write like hell. At any rate, let it be clear that the sixth book won’t hit the shelves for a long time. It won’t be out in 2012 or 2013, either. I trust it can be published in 2014. Now, I take all these estimations with a grain of salt, because I’m bad at calculating deadlines and dates. Besides, what worries me is that people value the saga for its literary quality, and not how smoothly each book has been published. What I can assure you of is that I’m doing the best I can within my abilities, I’m working full tilt and I think that’s how I must deal with this book. -
The Australian Lumbjack will be excited for new King's Row content!

It is said to turn your lips and tongue to stone, whether that is just a descriptive or medieval explanation or actually accurate is never really said.

A friend and I were having a text conversation yesterday. (They are reading book 5 at the moment)
Anyway, greyscale. Biologic? Mystical curse? Is there a real world analog or inspiration?
They had asked me if greyscale was Westerosi for leprosy. While I think there are comparisons but obviously different signs and symptoms, I have always been under the impression that there is something supernatural/curse like about greyscale. Or at least there is something more to it. I realize that medieval cultures would probably see a lot of biological things as divine or curse, but something about greyscale has always seemed that it might go that way, to me at least.
