Tom Cowan reacted to Duke Bushido in Magic Weapons and Str Minimums
Sorry, N-B. To clarify:
"Most common" does not equal "all."

This:
Is not this:
Where as the most common "magic sword" in D&D is "sword: +1." there are many other kinds of magical swords.
In my games, the most common kind of "magic sword" is "wow. This sword is light as a feather and beautifully balanced."
It's also a lot harder to notice without picking it up and using it. I am reasonably sure that a glow is noticeable to those who aren't using the sword.

Tom Cowan reacted to MrKinister in Magic Weapons and Str Minimums
Personally, I like the high-quality magic weapons in my campaign to be "easier to use". This may come in as "lighter" (reduced STR min), or more "accurate" (+X OCV). But not all weapons are the same. Some are crude and just do more damage, some have other properties (detects, penetrating, armor piercing, etc.). Some are unique in that they were built to do one thing, and that one thing well (bane, hunter-killers, etc.). Some are "keys", in that they serve a purpose other than "damage" even though they come in the shape of a weapon (although they can still do basic weapon damage).
It's all up to you and what you want the weapon to do, how you want to it feel. Anything is possible.

Tom Cowan reacted to Pariah in The Academics Thread
Having papers to grade isn't the same as having the will to grade papers.

Tom Cowan reacted to Pariah in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't the Civil War about State Rights too?
Roe v. Wade challenge isn't about banning abortion, it's about state rights, Utah Sen. Mike Lee says

Is that what's causing anti-vaxxers to see and hear (and believe) such weird crap?

Tom Cowan reacted to Starlord in The Advice Column
Remember to always put I before E.
Except when your foreign neighbor Keith receives eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weighlifters. English is weird.

Tom Cowan reacted to Cancer in The cranky thread
Pull up a chair, folks. Very heavy dose of irony.
... so recently in a different thread I mentioned being stressed by teaching courses, and other stuff. There's the other stuff. It's going to last a few months.
