A quick Google turns up two albums, two TV episodes, and a song.
Also a LOT of generic stock photos.

I think it's looking at what other people who've watched the show/movie also watched. So it should get better the more you watch, as it matches your profile to people with similar tastes.
@Zachiel Rule consistency trumps fun for some GMs (even creates fun, sometimes, especially in rule-heavy games like 3.PF). I may even be one of them.
@Aaron It feels like a real rule, it must be a good sign. Stunned is a pretty big deal, though. Make sure to allow some save, with DC equalling... I dont' know... 10 + attacker's bonus strength + 1 for every extra 5 ft.
@AlexP Will do !
@BESW I thought about your list, do you happend to know Kaamelott ? It's a french TV show, hilarious and which had a great impact on french hobbyists.
@BESW Meanwhile, a 10yo girl on Netflix : "because you watched My Little Pony: Kolchak the Night Stalker, In the Loop, and Ethan Hawk's Hamlet". All because of you.
This kind of suggestion is pretty risky with all the /b/ronies out there.
I logged on and found I had an alert about a comment on Can I use "Called Shot" with burst fire?, which I had put an answer and some comments for. This comment alert was explicitly addressed to me (first word was my username), but upon clicking the comment I find the question has been removed for...
@Trajan I'm looking more at the fluff and name, for this PC. I wanted to take Mobility just because she is mobile. XD But I also aim for cool things to do, and unusual things an adventuring group might find useful, except for killing people. For example, I'm aiming at scent with my faction bonus feats.
My group... well, I guess they like things not to be refluffed. They like Girallon's Blessing arms to look like girallon arms, and non-dragonkind not to have catlike eyes, so I guess...
I can understand that, but it always feels to me like giving the devs too much authority at the cost of respecting my own group's authority.
"No, we must adhere to this poorly-designed and internally inconsistent world inspired by what pop culture a half-dozen guys liked 40 years ago, whether or not it makes sense or we like it."
I'm not getting persistent girallon's blessing unless someone manages to convince the DM that arms with claws does not mean bulky, gorilla-like arms. Bulky arms aren't a nice sight for a juggler.
And by the time you're in 3.5, it's gone through so many iterations and editorial changes and pressure from various devs and fans that even justifying loyalty to the flavor as being true to Gygax's vision is fatuous.
@BESW plus, our setting has no official support for 3.5
so trying to differentiate it from different settings has lead to "no feats from other settings, no items where there's a guy from another setting in the name".
@ProfessorCaptainLokiCaprion What accidental immortality, to have a character you made up referenced in hundreds of books, in hundreds of thousands of characters, reimagined, reinvented, reborn, over and over. Even as a footnote. To achieve all that, for a character named M(ale)elf.
@ProfessorCaptainLokiCaprion Very easy to do, like they changed Ebonmar Infiltrate and Nightsong Something to something else. But they sort of need the distinction to give a message: this is not your usual setting.
You know how you say "this is not your usual setting?" You make dwarves a race of mud-dwelling slaves who worship a mechanical continent. You have priests preaching anti-magic screeds in the city plazas from atop intelligent polar bears. You give orcs a proud civilization with an ancient tradition of meditation and self-effacement.
"We don't use the names you're used to" doesn't even begin to convey that there's been a setting change.
Changing the name of mechanics that characters aren't even supposed to know about anyway doesn't change the setting.
I don't know. I have no control over it. I kinda like having less resources to parse through, sometimes. I know people who play core only, because you don't really need feats or spells to roleplay properly
(I'm not on their line)
Hovever, later all racial feats were introduced again, because our webmaster liked seeing a variety of races (and even gave a +1 bonus to one ability score to the first character of any unused race) and he wanted some support to have players choose
we don't have faerunian elves, or the elves from the PHB, though. We have phantom elves. And abyssal half-orcs, and vrils instead of goblins, and many planar races (up to LA +2)
the site tries to be different from all the others, offering a place for people who are bored of the usual things
I personally got there because they let us buy grafts
(and because characters are free to curse without censoring)
Hrm. From my completely inexperienced opinion, it seems like the DC of the check would be adjusted based on the entanglement, which would already cover the situation.
An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. which lowers your Escape artist check
@Trajan I use it in every game just to boast. And one time a DM gave me a tunnel to crawl through while my partner in crime was busy killing infinite respawning liches. (I died at the end of the corridor because of a trap, so that was pretty useless, but I had fun)
Base: Bull RUshing into a wall deals damage equal to your unarmed attack's damage Improved Bull Rush: Deals an extra 1d6 for every 5 feet you're pushed them. That gives it a base of (normally) 2d6 + 4 (average fighter). Weaker than a normal attack, but with the added benefit of moving them, which is powerful enough. Greater Bull Rush: A successful bull rush into a wall stuns an opponent for 1 round (fort save dc = damage dealt)
Hmm. So if the damage dealt is 15 it would break the door but if it was 14 it would just damage it a lot but not quite break it dealing the full 14 damage.
exactly. Same for walls, really, but they have an higher DR and more HP
usually
I guess rolling the damage dice one at a time to see if the wall breaks before they're all used up and the push can continue past the door would be cool but time consuming.
Yeah. I think that if I ever found myself in a discussion over a meta-ruling of which ruling supercedes which other ruling, I'l know I'm at the wrong table.
@lisardggY I'm on an italian forum and someone is trying to argue against hiding during a 5ft step doesn't work because the Sage said hiding can only be done during a movement ACTION, and the step is a non-action
That's usually the point where I had to be under the shower half an hour ago
I'm gonna be late for my Neverwinter raid, assuming I can reach the fish shop and come back in under 40 minutes by foot. I guess I'll go by bike. If I can't, I'm gonna be too late to even start a dungeon delve.
@Magician There was a news story a while back about the US Navy dropping poisoned snakes (note: poison*ed* snakes) from airplanes to thin the wildcat population in Guam.
So crocs on trees suddenly doesn't seen all that bad.

It's worth noting the mice were dead, and the poison was an over the counter drug which was unlikely to kill anything nonreptilian.
Why am I invoked on the Fallout Equestrian question?
If I were to address the underlying issue, it's that "I have been trying to keep a count of the player choices and this was the first one they made."
Also, the GM wants to punish his players for acting in a manner appropriate to the setting, and already knows exactly how he's going to do it. He's only asking for specific ideas on how to implement it.
So when the GM finally puts the PCs in a position where they have a choice forced upon them, it should have more repercussions than what I'm getting out of this post.
I guess I'm making some assumptions about the group's goals, but FE is usually a d20 System implementation and heroic sacrifices aren't in that system's bones.
What I'm reading into this is a mismatch between the choice of system and mission implementation, and the exploration of moral implications the GM hopes to get out of it.
d20 is a system without gradations of failure, which changes the nature of choices like the one presented, and it lacks mechanics to support the kind of story the GM seems to desire.
A system like Princes' Kingdom, or Fate, or Cortex, would make that choice have mechanical weight--but would also allow for gradations of failure which would make the apparently-suicidal option more mechanically viable.
So the choice we're talking about was to abandon the mission and leave the NPCs to their fates. You're talking like there wasn't actually a choice here... that the PCs were presented with a suicide mission that they clearly couldn't survive, so the only real "choice" was to turn tail and run.
If that's the case, that's more a GM mishandling of the game than a fault of the system.
The system heavily weights against choices to make heroic stands, yes, especially in settings without resurrection magic. The sunk costs of PC creation alone create a meta-level tendency to coddle your character.
But what disturbs me is that, if this is the case, then it really wasn't a choice at all.
(This is why my games take PC death off the table, except in exceptional circumstances. If PC death is not a satisfying part of the story, and fear of PC death leads to unsatisfying story, then it shouldn't play a role.)
Mhm. I'm not saying it wasn't a choice at all, but that the thing which should have influenced the choice --whether it was a moral thing to do-- is usually outweighed by the mechanical, practical, cynical meta-level "Can we take them?" elements because those are all the system provides.
@CarlCravens Fate Core (my current preferred system) has a similar ethos baked into it, whereas d20 assumes all fights are to the death unless explicitly stated otherwise.
At any rate, the choice of system isn't the only problem, maybe not even the biggest, but I think it's definitely influential.
I've had this problem back in my 3.5 days: presenting a moral choice in the framework of a fight-or-flight system where death is the default outcome for failure is... difficult, and requires the group to really all be on the same page.
@CarlCravens I had to spent eight-ish years in the d20 System before it finally chafed me so hard that I broke out of the box and looked seriously at other systems. D&D was the default, and I bought into that.
