What's the list price for that tactician's helm?

Also, rapiers have a one handed pistol style grip, where shinai and the katana they're based on are two handed. Fencing is all about thrusts and angles of attack, where kendo is more about sweeping strikes and movement. Also, stomping your foot and screaming so that the blind ass 90 year old judges can tell that you've scored a hit.
The loud, angry, screaming part of martial arts is something I could never get into. I know it's supposed to make my strikes more powerful, but er, can't I just scream in my head? It's kinda against my nature to be that loud.
In my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience, you don't need to scream at the top of your lungs. Just a quick, sharp "Ha!/Kiai!/Insert Sound Here!" will do.
Yeah, but even that's difficult for me. I just... don't like making noise.
Try Ninjutsu. Imagine Naruto. Now imagine something exactly the opposite of that. That's Ninjutsu. Oh, also, I teach it. ^_^ About the kiai, also, I agree that the quick, sharp sound is the best. So long as you don't yell "Boing!" Yes, I've actually seen that. >_______>

Also, today is the day I reclaim my bedroom. I go now to attack the huge pile of stuff that's overwhelmed it.
What does real ninjutsu involve? What kind of stuff do you teach? I've always been curious.

Great games guys, buuuuuuuut why does Desura know my Steam username? What could possibly be the point of that, other than targeted ads?
I had a similar thing. I created my Desura account and tried to enter my Indie Royale key. I was then told that the games were already on my account. How the hell did that happen?

I think I understood maybe 1 in 5 words. Don't worry about it, I've still got a long ways to go.

Well, keep in mind that Zako creates zones of difficult terrain every time he uses his ice spell, so being able to move through it freely might be helpful. Cover also sounds useful considering that we have so few ranged attacks.

Er, I think I'll let more experienced players help with this one :/

Allows you to switch initiative rolls with a willing ally. I'm pretty sure it's a daily, and is used after rolling but before combat starts.

Or everyone will drink the Kool-aide before things get that far. One or the other.

I collapsed not 1, not 2, but three fortresses down on myself. The last one finally did me in... but I'll be damned if I didn't take out at least 6 red knights, an archer in the spire, and the other dude who thought he was an engineer.

Valiant Sapper is Valiant.
Game please?

I have no idea how header files work. Hopefully we'll cover that later in the semester :P
It's basically just a file with the function prototypes in. Wikipedia page
Alright. Yay for learning more functions! Time to put this project on the back-burner.

If the halberd turns out to be fail, I'll just retrain later. I never tried it before, tbh. And since a halberd counts as an axe as well as a polearm, it's still dwarfy. I still have to be adjacent for opportunity attacks, but now all of my weapon powers get a little extra range.

Plan sounds good. I'm not sure going back to the customs office is the best idea, seeing that someone might recognize us. I don't suppose we can disguise ourselves?
