Yeah, that primitive construction thing has me a little unsure.

Toddlers learn the essential principles of primitive construction playing with blocks. By the time a character is a PC, most will ha ...

Regarding active versus passive:

I've been thinking that "passive" detection of a thing (ambush, clues, etc.) has more to do with what a person knows about that thing than his "abili ...

Well, yeah... I thought Blasters (most ranged weapons, really) being undodgeable was the whole point you and I have been wrestling with in other topics. The idea is that certain attacks can be speci ...
