Skip to comments.Crusade Propaganda: The abuse of Christianity's Holy Wars
Posted on 11/02/2001 4:48:53 AM PST by Darth Reagan
click here to read article
Yes, they did. But the "crusaders" were all kinds of people, religious and irreligious, and many were mercenaries. So, yes, some crusaders took the opportunity to loot Byzantium's riches on the way to liberate Jerusalem. But others were more pure, more sincere.
My point is just that these broad descriptors are not useful. As the article proves, you can no more say "the crusaders" as a whole did this or that than you can say much about "Christianity" or "Islam" that would be accurate for all those the term ostensibly embraces.
Network anchors in post-terror America bandy about the word "Muslims" as if that word embraces a monolithic group; so the argument rages back and forth whether muslims are peaceful or whether they are vicious. The truth is, some are this, some are that.
So it would be most accurate to say something like "The crusades were, in general, a defensive response to Arab military expansion -- but there were groups on both sides who used their causes as cloaks for looting and pillaging among the innocent."
Thus, we can take the writer's point and defend the crusades in general, while taking your point and condemning specific acts.
This must be one of the most evil sentiments ever expressed. Advocating killing innocents alone is the hallmark of terrorism. The remark was originally said after the killing of 100,000 people of the city of Beziers. The Christians doing the killing justified the slaughter of other Christians of Beziers with the above pharse.
As far as defending the Crusades goes, the purpose of history is neither to defend nor justify things in the past (over which we, after all, have no control) but rather to learn from historical examples. To learn the right lesson, one must fully understand the context and the response. Modern liberals have used the Crusades as examples of bad wars, largely because of their misunderstanding of their geopolitical context. They also have an agenda to bash Christianity and Crusader atrocities give them a free shot at that. What they dont mention is the endless catalogue of Muslim atrocities: See Paul Fregosis Jihad in the West : Muslim Conquests from the 7th to the 21st Centuries for a corrective to liberal scholarship on the Crusades.
...and were excommunicated for it (BTW, it was not mere sack and loot, but conquest of the Byzantine empire). Same for the crusaders who sacked Jerusalem during the First Crusade. So I do wonder what the pope was apologizing for, his predecessor already did what he could.
Are you also going to pound on Richard Lionheart who having defeated the Muslims in battle and then negotiated a peace treaty in which the Muslims promised not to mug Christian pilgrims on the road to Jerusalem? Will you pound on the Crusade that consisted of the German Emperor landing a huge force on the shortest road to Jerusalem and then engaging Saladin in some quick negotiation about safe passage for pilgrims and then leaving? And notice BTW that safe passage for pilgrims keeps coming up, think the Muslims should have gone unpunished for mugging them?
Are you going to pound on the Crusaders who stopped the Muslims from coming into Europe through Spain or the Church sanctioned war that saved Vienna? Or the battle of Lepanto? Or would you rather see Europe look like the Middle East? I will note the complete absence of atheists, Protestants, Lutherans and non-Catholics in general in stopping Muslim invasions (and I am Lutheran, ie non-Catholic).
Some of the Crusaders are worthy of condemnation, some should be praised, some were simply incompetent, some simply no better than anyone else of their time. A good number did us valuable historical service keeping Muslims out of Europe. Or do you actually believe the Western world would still be as it is now with Moslems ruling much of Europe?
During the Crusades? That's like saying "Where were the Wesleyans when Athanasius needed them?"
I suppose the distinction that might help us is between cultural advance and military capture of land, and this distinction is really not that tough to apply to history to extract moral conclusions.
If your religion wins my family's hearts and minds I have nothing to complain about, least of all "imperialism" -- but if your bishop (or Imam) rides and kills my kids and quarters horses in my living room -- you get the point.
I grant you your cultural factors; but the writer's point is that Islam's armies seized land, and European armies took it back. All the while, the eternal culture war of ideas waged, on its own battlefield, and largely irrelevant to this moral analysis.
During the Crusades? That's like saying "Where were the Wesleyans when Athanasius needed them?"
I should have been clearer. Protestants were notably absent during the attacks by the Ottoman empire on Vienna and during the naval battle of Lepanto.
Ah. I did not know that.
That's a very broad brush you paint with. The Crusades (note the plural) took place over the course of two centuries. And they are not something that needs to be 'defended' anymore than Alexander the Great needs defended. They need to be understood.
Do you have an authoritative citation for this? By authoritative, I mean any actual scholarly work (refereed academic article, book authored by a degreed historian, etc.) that sets about estabilishing this phrase originating at that point in time. I sincerely doubt that this is the origin of the phrase: "Kill them all and let God sort them out." I am prepared to be further educated, but it does not ring true.
The book is mentioned on the web page for "Christianity Today" but I don't know what POV the web page comes from.
[Adapted from Brundage] Never in the thirteenth century was there to be a general coalition of Western kings for a Crusade, as there had been in 1187. This was in part due, no doubt, to the internal politics of thirteenth century Europe, in part to the gradual decline of the Crusading movement itself. That the spirit of the Crusade was not dead is amply proved by the eight large expeditions from various quarters of Europe during the thirteenth century. The survival of the Crusading spirit during the century is further shown by the extraordinary movement in 1212 which is known as the Children's Crusade. This expedition which, of course, was not a Crusade at all in the strict sense of the term attracted thousands of children and young adults from northern France and western Germany to its banners.
The "Crusade" was preached in France by a peasant boy named Stephen from a village near Vendome. In Germany, a boy named Nicholas from Cologne started the movement . The sorry business was summarized by a chronicler in these terms:
In this year occurred an outstanding thing and one much to be marveled at, for it is unheard of throughout the ages. About the time of Easter and Pentecost,4 without anyone having preached or called for it and prompted by I know not what spirit, many thousands of boys, ranging in age from six years to full maturity, left the plows or carts which they were driving, the flocks which they were pasturing, and anything else which they were doing. This they did despite the wishes of their parents, relatives, and friends who sought to make them draw back. Suddenly one ran after another to take the cross. Thus, by groups of twenty, or fifty, or a hundred, they put up banners and began to journey to Jerusalem. They were asked by many people on whose advice or at whose urging they had set out upon this path. They were asked especially since only a few years ago many kings, a great many dukes, and innumerable people in powerful companies had gone there and had returned with the business unfinished. The present groups, morever, were stfll of tender years and were neither strong enough nor powerful enough to do anything. Everyone, therefore, accounted them foolish and imprudent for trying to do this. They briefly replied that they were equal to the Divine will in this matter and that, whatever God might wish to do with them, they would accept it willingly and with humble spirit. They thus made some little progress on their journey. Some were turned back at Metz, others at Piacenza, and others even at Rome. Still others got to Marseilles, but whether they crossed to the Holy Land or what their end was is uncertain. One thing is sure: that of the many thousands who rose up, only very few returned.

Other histories say that the childrens crusade never really happened. It was a medeival 'urban legend' based on a fairly large number of young, landless men and boys (homeless) who drifted throughout Europe at the time.
Actually, it's much worse than that. During the entire period that Spain was struggling to defend the Western Mediterranean against Islamic agression the (Anglican) English and (Calvinist) Dutch were actively engaged in piracy and warfare against Spain, and, therefore as de facto allies of Islam.
I believe several of Medina-Sidonia's captains in 1588 were veterans of Lepanto.
It was uttered by the Bishop commanding (!) a siege during the Albigensian Crusade, when confronted by one of his subordinate commanders who questioned the wisdom of torching an entire town that held orthodox believers as well as Cathars.
You do recall correctly -- the actual phrase is: "Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.", uttered by Arnold Amaury, head of the Cistercian Order at the battle and sack of Bezier in 1209. Your translation is good.
However, a point is being missed here. First, this particular phrase was used in the Albigensian Crusade, which was not a holy war against Islam, but rather, the (ruthless) putting down of a Christian heresy.
But there is an even more relevant point -- my earlier one about the pitfalls of Whig history. You simply cannot project modern attitudes and assumptions retroactively onto medieval events. People in this time believed in their religion. Life was, as Hobbes put it, "nasty, harsh, brutish, and short." Abbe Amaury's shocking comment was meant sincerely -- he was not concerned about life in this world; it was infinitely more important that one be properly prepared for the next world. After all, life is temporary, while the afterlife is eternity. If it took the deaths of a few devout, believing Catholic brothers to wipe out a heresy (which put all of our souls in danger), "God would look after His own."
Primitive? Perhaps. I would put it differently. One might say, "positively medieval."
I think much of the problem we are having today is because Protestant America has a view that makes it difficult to accept the reality of this invasion. Protestants have no history of Muslim invasion and reconquests of their land from them.
Islamic fundamentalists still believe in exactly that concept.
The threat they pose to our civilization will only be eliminated when the Islamic world is westernized.
Thus Bin Laden and his cohorts are correct when they say that this is a Jihad, for we will be forced to, albeit reluctantly, westernize all of Islam to ensure our survival.
You are correct and I think even George W. Bush would privately agree with you. The only stumbling block I see is if they kill all of us first!
We are faced with the nation's first postmodern war.
It is a war of networks against nations, begun with irrational acts that defy the rational imagination. It is a holy war where one side is secular, and a struggle for democracy involving a deposed king and local warlords.
We seek phantom leaders hiding in caves and defying satellite detection. Our enemy seems to be both everywhere and nowhere. He inflicts tens of billions of dollars of damage with $5 box cutters and stops Congress with an anthrax-laced envelope delivered with a 34-cent stamp.
What kind of war is this? Who is the enemy and why does he hate us? Patriotic Americans mull these questions in their minds. Many, not satisfied with the superficial consensus that our assailants are simply "terrorists," seek to know the driving forces behind these crimes. * * *
Some see our assailants as Islamic fundamentalists who hate our immoral lifestyles permeated with abortion and pornography. Others consider them agents of repressive regimes who hate our democratic values. Others paint them as Arab nationalists who hate our support for Israel, and our sanctions against Iraq.
Helpful as these profiles may be, they do not explain fully the horrific attacks.
This is not the work of downtrodden camel drivers or medieval imams nursing centuries-old grudges. These are men savvy in the postmodern world of image and simulacra.
Many of the turbaned Taliban spewing forth Arabic diatribes are the European-educated sons of businessmen who drank heavily of our Coca-Cola and languished in the comfort of our consumer society. Some attended the London School of Economics where they mixed their Mohammed with their Marx.
These are conspirators who understood the American psyche so well that they timed their attacks to be a television spectacular. They understand the media's ability to turn every anthrax scare, air incident, or stock market jitter into a hype-filled story to wear down American resolve.
This is psywar where image is all important and military power can be reduced to tiny bacteria spores. The main battlefield is the American mind, while distant Afghanistan is but a minor theater.
Our enemy also has a genius for stagecraft and casts himself with utmost care. His flowing robes, turbaned head, and battle-hardened features seem to embody all the rancor of embittered Islam over the centuries. Afghanistan could not be a better backdrop for resurrecting the idea of this age-old struggle.
Indeed, they shoot us with images created for our consumption and broadcast over our networks. Yet, behind the stage of world events, a more menacing drama emerges.
In truth, Western-educated bin Ladens cannot only be seen as the heirs of medieval Islam. They are also postmodern revolutionaries with cell phones and Internet web sites. Their fundamentalism not only harkens to a distant past; it also stems from a reconstructed and remystified Islam tailored to be a powerful rejection of all things Western.
Today's bin Ladens are the disciples of a new generation of revolutionary ideologues who have reinterpreted Islam's past. In their passionate cries against Western hegemony they have called upon all oppressed peoples to arise. In their tirades against capitalism, they extol the merits of a more radical socialism. When railing against secular society, they introduce esoteric religious doctrines.
Drawing upon a wealth of purported and real grievances, they have managed to unite an explosive mixture of egalitarian metaphysics, anti-consumer socialism, and Oriental mysticism that could just galvanize not only Moslem fanatic minorities but many Western anti-globalist radicals in a furious struggle against modernity itself.
Their main target would not be modernity's so censurable moral wasteland but the "oppressive" framework of logic, order, and the rule of law that sustains the West and its economic power.
This is a different jihad, where all malcontents from Seattle to Genoa are incited to revolt. It is a recycled class struggle on a global scale where the contenders spill beyond the limits of the nation-state. It is what Catholic thinker Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, in an update of his book Revolution and Counter-Revolution, called a worldwide clash of ideologies pitting poor nation against rich, anti-consumerism against consumerism, the Third World against the First.
Indeed, the real target threatens to be the very premises of modernity - the unified, rational, and universal order that ensures Western prosperity. And the protagonists, who live off the very system they hate, have the uncanny ability to turn modernity against itself, as was so well demonstrated in the September 11 attack.
These invisible warriors seek more than just military targets. They hide, like computer viruses, amid the great interconnected systems they want to demolish. They see that the financial markets, the postal system, the transportation network and so many other structures of our life can all be paralyzed by prime-time paranoia. In this war, a grain of sand (or anthrax) grinds the gigantic and vulnerable gears of our modernity to a halt.
They attack us for what we represent: the remnants of order. If America stops, the very backbone of the modern order (with its many shortcomings) is shattered, and the foundation is laid for a fragmented, anarchical, and subconsumerist new world "order," as envisioned by their ideologues, both Eastern and Western.
Until we understand clearly what drives our assailants, and until we learn how to counter their psywar tactics, we are vulnerable.
This is America's new challenge. May God help us in this endeavor.

That would apply more to the latter part of the Crusade era. The big mistake was when the Byzantines allowed the Crusaders into Constantinople -- and the Crusaders proceeded to plunder the city. The Eastern Roman Empire never recovered from that, which is why Constantinople became Istanbul.
Of course it can. Islam fundamentally spread by conquest.
The Arab Islamics began the rape, pillaging, massacres, forced conversions, head taxes, etc. with the prophet Mohammed, in the Arabian peninsula, as he massacred 600-900 Jewish men in cold-blood and his men raping and enslaving the women and children (Banu Qurayza, 627). This Jihad would extend throughout the Arabian peninsula (where under the second caliph in 640 the Jews and Christians were expelled from the peninsula), North Africa, Mesopotamia, Armenia, Persia, Syria, Palestine, South Spain before finally being stopped at Narbonne (720) and Poitiers (732). In the space of 100 years the Arab Islamics had massacred, conquered, dhimmiized, pillaged, whole INDIGENOUS Christian (non Arab) and Jewish communities. Bat Ye'or in, The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam (1996), at pp. 44ff. describes this blight on long-standing Christian and Jewish communities:
"After the death of the Prophet, the caliph Abu Bakr organized the invasion of Syria which Mohammed had already envisaged. He gathered tribes from the Hijaz, Najd, and Yemen and advised Abu Ubayda, in charge of operations in the Golan (Palestine), to plunder the countryside but, due to a lack of adequate weaponry, to refrain from attacking towns.2 Consequently, the whole Gaza region up to Cesarea was sacked and devastated in the campaign of 634. Four thousand Jewish, Christian, and Samaritan peasants who defended their land were massacred. The villages of the Negev were pillaged by Amr b. al-As, while the Arabs overran the countryside, cut communications, and made roads perilous. Towns such as Jerusalem, Gaza, Jaffa, Cesarea, Nablus, and Beth Shean were isolated and closed their gates (note: these towns had a majority Jewish/Christian (non Arab) populations). In his sermon on Christmas Day 634, the patriarch of Jerusalem, Sophronius, lamented over the impossibility of going on pilgrimage to Bethlehem as was the custom, because the Christians were forcibly kept in Jerusalem:"not detained by tangible bonds, but chained and nailed by fear of the Saracens [Arab Islamics]," whose "savage, barbarous and bloody sword" kept them locked up in the town.3
In Syria...Sophronius, in his sermon on the Day of Epiphany 636, bewailed the destruction of churches and monasteries, the sacked towns, the fields laid waste, the villages burned down by the nomads who were overrunning the country. In a letter the same year to Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, he mentions the ravages wrought by the Arabs.4 Thousands of people perished in 639, victims of the famine and plague that resulted from these destructions..... Country areas, particularly the plains and valleys populated with hamlets and villages, were ravaged by Bedouins who set fire to crops, massacred and carried off the peasantry and their cattle, and left nothing but ruins. Townspeople were in a different position. Protected by their walls, they could defend themselves or negotiate the conditions of their surrender on payment of tribute to the Bedouin chiefs....
In fact, the record of the precise progress of the Arab conquests constituted a basic principle in the earliest stages of Muslim law, since it fixed not only the nature and taxation of the land, but also the legislation applicable to its indigenous inhabitants. Although some disparities appeared in respect of the towns, the majority of the villages fell into the category of conquest without a treaty. According to the strategy of jihad, the absence of a treaty allowed the massacre or enslavement of the conquered population and the division of their property.... Helped by local Arab support---particularly active in the central region and the lower Euphrates---and by troop reinforcements sent from Arabia, Muslims extended their raids on the countryside and villages to the south and center of Iraq around Mada'in (Ctesiphon).......they invaded the Sawad (Babylonia), the villages near the Tigris and Euphrates....These raids were supported by Umar who sent reinforcements from Medina.
The monasteries were pillaged, the monks killed, and Monophysite [Christian] Arabs massacred, enslaved, or Islamicized by force; in Elam the population was also decimated, and in Susa their notables were put to the sword.... Palestine was laid waste and plundered.13 The Arabs moved into Cilicia, taking inhabitants with them into captivity. Mu'awiya sent Habib b. Maslama to Armenia....On his orders, the population of Euchaita [Jews and non-Arab, i.e., Armenian Christians] (on the river Halys) was put to the sword; those who escaped were all taken into slavery.14 According to the Armenian chroniclers, the Arabs, after they decimated the populations in Assyria and forced large numbers of people to embrace Islam, "entered the district of Daron [south-west of lake Van] which they sacked, shedding rivers of blood. They exacted tribute and forced the women and children to be handed over to them."15 In 642 they took the town of Dvin and annihilated the population [mainly Assyrian Christians] by the sword.
Then "the Ishmaelites returned by the route whence they had come, carrying off in their wake a multitude of captives to the number of thirty-five thousand."16 The following year, according to the same chronicler, the Arabs again invaded Armenia, "wreaking havoc, ruin, and slavery."17 .... In North Africa, the Arabs took thousands of captives and accumulated a large stock of booty...."the Muslims set to work overrunning and laying waste the open country."19 Tripoli was ransacked in 643; Carthage was entirely razed to the ground and most of its inhabitants were killed [majority Christian]. The Arabs put the Maghreb to fire and sword, and it took them more than a century to restore peace there by crushing the Berber resistance....
The wars continued on land and sea with Mu'awiya's successors. Arab troops wrought havoc in Anatolia by numerous incursions; churches were desecrated and burned down; all the inhabitants of Pergamum, Sardes, and other towns were led into captivity. The Greek towns of Gangres and Nicae were destroyed. Contemporary Christian chronicles mention entire regions ravaged, villages razed to the ground, towns burned, pillaged and destroyed, while entire populations were enslaved. As has been mentioned, town populations were not always spared. They often suffered massacre or slavery, always accompanied by deportations. This was the fate of the Christians and Jews of Aleppo, Antioch, Ctesiphon, Euchaita, Constantia, Pathos (Cyprus), Pergamum, Sardes, Germanicea (Marash), and Samosata---to cite but a few examples. In the course of the Umayyads' last attempt to take Constantinople (717), the Arab army commanded by Maslama carried out a pincer movement by land and sea and laid waste the whole region around the capital."
That was just the first 100 years of the spread of Islam.
Islam and Muslim culture has so much to do with control and domination and the submission to the controller. Whether this be to Allah or those above you in the earthly pecking order.

My dad had lung cancer that had spread to his sacrum and brain. He received a total of 45 radiation treatments to no avail. On his last treatment, he was so weak that he couldn't walk, so I took him by Dr. Eichler's office to see if we could get a bag of fluid to help him. Dr. Eichler said, and I quote "No. Due to Obamacare we cannot give a bag of fluid to someone that is not going to make it. I can get him a sip of grape juice." To which I replied, "who is the president to tell me how important my dad is. I can by him a whole container of grape juice. What about the Hippocratic oath you took, to do whatever to save a life? Do you not live by that?" He said, "I will have Hospice at your home this afternoon". My dad lived 3 weeks and 3 days. Folks if you want a chance at life, don't waste your time in Texarkana. May God bless you.
Saw him 1 time out of 3 days in ICU and on the 2 office visits that we had we received no plan of care treatment or what to expect. He may be a well educated doctor but his bedside manner lacked the compassion needed for a person (and their family) that was just recently diagnosed with terminal cancer out of nowhere with a life expectancy of less than 6 months - at least in our case!! And a few of the staff members could be a little more concerned about the patients wait time and care instead of what they did for lunch or texting on their phone while taking vitals!!

The combination of Porcelain Ceramic™ technology and ionic technology is one of the biggest breakthroughs in styling. The gentle, even, far-infrared heat that's emitted lets you dry hair faster and protects it from damage. Every time you turn the dryer on, clouds of natural ions surround hair to eliminate static. Results are healthier-looking hair and shiny, smooth styles. This powerful salon dryer has a 2000-watt motor, 6 heat/speed settings, a cold shot button and a removable rear filter.
Best blow dryer ever, brought this dryer in hair school back in 2009, and the dryer just blew out after 6yrs later. Works well on natural hair for a straight relaxer look with out actually putting a relaxer in your hair. Love the blow dryer so much I brought it again. (Posted on 2/16/2015)

VERNON - Snowboarders at Mountain Creek got a rare treat from Olympian Ty Walker, fresh from her trip to Sochi, Russia.
The 16-year-old demonstrated her skills in front of the Sussex County skiers.
Walker finished sixth in the women's snowboard slopestyle semifinals in Sochi.
"Sochi was incredible," Walker says. "There was a lot of buildup going into it. Two years of just constant non-stop competing and training, and doing all these qualifiers and getting your points to get into the event. I feel like these past couple of months have just been this whirlwind."
Walker says she plans to compete in the next winter games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
For an extended interview with Walker, watch the clip to the left or click News 12 Extra on Optimum TV channel 612.

After playing some games from last gen recently and then playing either a sequel or other games of the same type I can say that this generation of games has not blown last generation of games away. The previous generation differences were bigger and easier to see, while this gen the difference is more slight. I wonder will the difference be even less come next gen.
The generation's prior made huge leaps in the differences that separated them. The Atari 2600 is before my time but I remember the blocks and played joust and a few other games. They were short and had little to them but they were fun. When NES launched it had more power and that was easy to see. Later with the SNES again the difference was clear. More meant more! More colors, more to do, faster processing… Then the leap to 3D with N64, PSX and Dreamcast, and the difference was again pronounced. Then next gen to come was not as great though with Xbox the added HDD and online focus the difference was still there. With the PS2 not just online, but a move again to motion control though it was not a huge success
So what is new this gen: more online games, more graphics, more of the same? Nothing really comes to mind that is so different from the past generations. YES there has been an improvement overall on everything but the end result is an update more than then next generation.
SO with Next gen starting soon be it 2012, 2013 or 2014, I wonder what will change from this generation. I see next generation as being another update to what we already have. Improved motion capabilities, improved graphics, bigger levels… the same but somewhat better.

Hot bikinis, tiny thongs, micro G-strings, skin tight short shorts and so much more.
Maybe you are ready to take the plunge, to shed those old surf shorts and get into real fashion. Men's swimwear style is the answer for men who work so hard to keep their bodies looking great. Hot styles have always been the default in Europe where you see men wearing all sorts of wonderful bikinis, sexy thongs and even the smallest little G-strings. Quite often the men are wearing fashions that are as small or smaller than their girlfriends are wearing. The big news is that this trend has hit the USA over the past few years so much so that we would say bikinis including Brazilian style bikinis are now considered mainstream. Go to any beach in Los Angeles or Florida both areas considered the cutting edge of men's swimwear style and you will see men wearing bikinis of all shapes and sizes. Keep in mind we do not classify Speedos as bikinis but as briefs. Bikinis show a lot more skin and leave a fantastic tan line. My opinion is that the newest thongs are now the most interesting styles for the beach. Girls have been showing a lot of ass for years and men are just starting to catch up at least here in the USA. In Europe men have been showing a lot of ass for decades. It is a wonderful experience changing for wearing surf shorts to slipping on a tiny bikini. At first I felt like I was not wearing a thing, like going to the beach naked, After a few years of wearing sexy spandex designs I now wear the smallest G-strings without a second thought and sometimes wear a bikini as a cover-up. My how things have changed.
Finding hot men's swimwear style fashion designs is not as easy as it is for the ladies. The girls can walk into any department store and even sporting goods stores and find hot little suits. Sorry guys your shopping will need to be online. The great part of that is there is so much to choose from. Incredibly the hottest extreme men's swimwear designs are coming out of California and being shipped all over the world. Our site is designed to help you find the perfect suit for your body. If this is your first time trying extreme swimwear I know the journey will be an amazing one, just try not to get addicted to it. Do you already have a large swimwear collection of are building one? Our site will take you to swimwear design you might not yet have dreamed of but I promise you will.

Now we're talking :D
Just need to chrome his claws too
So just after some thought on this little idea
Sylvan Sorcerer of course for animal companion
Horsemaster Saddle to share teamwork feats
Pack Flanking (AC will be doing to hitting so it needs to hit)
Improved Spell Sharing
Hierloom Lance and gauntlet for the sorcerer who will never actually make an attack with them but will threaten both 5ft and 10ft with one hand free.
Ring of Spell Knowledge Shield Other + Improved spell sharing = pool your HP and share the pain both ways.
All of the fun buffing spells including poly morphs, transformation, true strike, blink etc etc, best Horse EVAR ! Tyrannosaurus Horse a Tyarnnohorsus mwhahaha :D
still looking for good ways to take advantage of the ride cover mechanic maybe turning it into concealment, or maybe just cut the middle man and go greater invis :P
Finally and most importantly the street cred from being a front line sorcerer :D
Crazy enough to work or just plain crazy ?
so in the quest to ride cool creatures I came across this possibility but I'm just throwing it out there to see if anyone has tried it before or thinks it's doomed to fail from the get go.
Nature Oracle gets a bonded mount which is classed as a full Animal Companion including share spells
Spirit Guide gets you wizard spells of the same level on your spell list looking at you form of the dragon I II and III. Kicks off at 12th level , unless small rideable at 14th level.
Your a bit limited with your mounted combat options being stuck in the Nature mystery. And spirit guide needs Cha so have to dump stat elsewhere.
And of course the spells don't last that long but they'll work long enough for some fun.
Of course having access to all the wizard poly spells you could make your horse just about anything anytime you want to, not to mention some of the best frontline buffs you can get.
Heh you could have a dog mount grab the blink spell and make a blink dog, though your GM might just make you roll to see if you fall on your ass while riding it ;)

Seems I must clarify, I wrote "roll up a native Triaxian race" as in a race native to the planet not necessarily the race of the same name.
Perhaps I should amend the thread title, eh too late
So I'm about to jump back in with a group I haven't played with for a while. GM thought it might be cool if I roll up a native Triaxian race that will encounter the party and join them. 10th level start
Not the the GM is likely to give me a dragon to ride but I was interested in trying a mounted combat character that would fit the setting.
So would appreciate any advice you have on mounted classes/multiclass (Hunter, Cav and Paly are obvious choices), feats etc.
But also in particular things that would make sense for the setting so ideally using local creatures instead of importing.
I came across an Ice Runner (Axe Beak) that might be adapted to a mount but would like to hear your ideas on others. (Any local magical beasts i might grab with monsterous companion feat ?)
Finally as I haven't done a lot with mounts before, so where should my focus be ? trying to make the mount as amazing as possible or making it functionally survivable and optimizing my character to do the business ? or a little of both ?
Thanks in Advance

Yeah still pretty new only been here since 2008
So general consensus seems to be forget touch attacks and maybe instead look at thing that happen if a creature touches you or is next to you.
something similar to fire shield or Fire Trail
I'm kinda thinking of it as a poor mans swarm, if you can get on a creature and have a passive damage output for anything sharing your space.
Bob Bob Bob wrote:
Do you auto-succeed at touch attacks in a grapple? If so then this works. If not then this doesn't. I personally believe that you're required to make a touch attack in order to hit someone with a touch spell but the "accidental discharge" rules are poorly written enough that either is a possibility.
The ability specifically says your not grappling

Nope, perfectly serious
Ah because clearly the rogue had too many unquie abilities at their disposal.
10 point begs to be played with an NPC class for the full effect :D
You could acutally have quite a fun campagin focusing on character development with so little to worry about mechaincally. Long as the GM knows what he's doing its fine. GM can even go nuts with magic items to suppliment everyone since your so weak, which could be fun too.
I'm somewhat sold on the idea that a Rogue can use existing skills to do things no other class can especially if the option open up the further down Rogue you go. It would create a real reason to stick with Rogue and get something you cant find anywhere else.
and following the same logic for Rogue "faking it" the enhanced skills would allow them to start copying other classes similar to how UMD lets them copy casters.
Just having a little look over this thing and in some respects it seems superior to the summoner synthesist.
Now unless I'm completely mistaken this ability is ONLY granting the evolutions the same as if a summoner was able to cast Evolution Surge on something other than his Eidolon.
i.e. we're not calling up an eidolon we're just making the animal companion "Hulk Out".
It also means when the companion dies or is removed for whatever reason the Hunter is now the one doing the "Hulk Out" but he's not getting some eidolon shell he's just evolving his own flesh.
plus its a swift action so extremely helpful for not wasting my actions buffing once combat has started.
So you can have the evolutions without the shell meaning you can keep wearing your armor and gear unless of course your changing size or shape with extra arms and legs and then things might get a little tight under that breastplate if your not careful with your choices.
But still this is basically swift customized polymorphing for a martial weapon prof , medium armor character , 3/4BAB sure but (Ex) ability score increases which can stack with enchantments.
Seems like a pretty fun deal and dare I say the Summoner Synthesist concept done right ?
Straight Primal Hunter Companion
when you companion dies you inherit all the evolutions, either way you either have an amazing companion or your fairly amazing yourself. its like being a summoner syntheist but without the stigma or baggage ;)
plus its a nice little revenge on the GM for killing your companion to turn around and evo huge form multiattack his BBEG to death out of spite :)
Oh there's plenty of interest in Homebrew there's just little interest in "your" homebrew.
and no that not a "your" directed at you, it directed at everyone.
for the most part unless your going to benefit or use somthing most people could care less about it. hence commenting on homebrew you'll probably never be able to use yourself is probably a waste of time for most people.
plus there's only so many times you can say "that will break your game" before you get bored and move on.
unfortunately home brew forums are up against human nature and are losing
whether or not the Rogue is currently under powered or overpowered is irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion.
The question as it stands is this.
Highly subjective sure, but I'm interested in hearing what people would do.
For myself personally these would be my top 3 single changes keeping in mind you can only make one change you can certainly suggest more than one.
1.) Rogue has a full BAB
2.) Rogue levels can count as levels from another other class you multiclass in for the purposes of effective level on abilities. (Can only apply to one other class)
3.) Rogue talents include one talent (that can be taken once) that can pick one feature/ability from every other class e.g. discovery, hex, revelation, rage etc
Or perhaps your one of those people who wouldn't change anything about the Rogue in which case by all means let us hear your Rogue Love ;)

THIS REMINDS me of another thread about differing interpretations ;)
Doesn't stack from my reading
Pummeling charge modifies the charge action
in general when two abilities try and modify the same action they don't stack you need to choose.
not a great example but in the same vein that vital strike and spring attack don't stack even though it seems like they should.

This is what your looking for Sir
"Unlike other afflictions, multiple doses of the same poison "stack," meaning that successive doses combine to increase the poison's DC and duration."
By inference stacking only applies to Poisons and since disease are an affliction they do not stack.
so once your infected that's it, single infection with requirements to roll the unmodified saves as listed in the disease effect line.

Clear and Correct by whose standards ? I can guarantee and American English major, an oxford English professor , and an Australian exchange student are all going to have different opinion about what is grammatically correct and acceptable. Grammar isn't a universal constant because language is mutable.
As to correct rule interpretations have you not seen JJ post his opinion on the forums about how a rule works only to be later contradicted by the person who wrote the rule.
The only way you can know for sure if you are interpreting a rule correctly is if the author of that rule was sitting next to you every time it came into contention to confirm that is how he or she intended it to be run.
You think what your asking is simple or easy, its just not.
Neo2151 wrote:
I my advice assumes nothing, it doesn't matter who is asking the question the advice stands. It is up to the GM and players to decide how they are going to play this game.
Do you really want to see a 1800 page rule book that reads like a legal document ? Because that is exactly what your asking for. The sheer volume of words required to create statements that are beyond reasonable ambiguity is immense. Solicitors make entire careers out of reinterpreting unambiguous statements to make them say something completely different.
anyone looking for absolute rules are doomed to fail, there are no absolutes in language . Absolutes are the prevue of mathematics. If you want absolute rules then you'd need to write your entire rulebook using nothing but mathematical equations. Soon as you introduce language you introduce ambiguity.
Want an example ? having just read this I can guarantee your brain won't interpret it in the way I intended you to interpret it. Would using more words to explain it help ? no, in fact they would probably just make the problem worse ;)
Stealthy Alchemist Mad Bomber with fast bombs and a range or discoveries to pickup all the good bomb versions.
If you really want to put the hurt on them Mindchemist for crazy damage bombs with insane DC's .
Tactics are strike and fade at the worst possible moments for the PC's i.e. when there dealing with an encounter out pops the mad bomber to unleash a lot of pain in a very short space of time only to disappear before they can really do much to stop him.
help turn encounters they're finding too easy into real challenges.
load him up with magic gear to make quick escapes very easy.
One thing to keep in mind is you are running 6 players who collectively bring 6 standard actions a round to the table, if you are throwing less than the equivalent of that back at them then that would be why they are having an easy time.
Maybe the best solution for an antagnoist is not one NPC but 2 or 3 who are deigned to work extremely well in tandem. Just remember anything the player can do you can do better.

Errata not needed in this case, minor gramatical issues like this are the whole reason we play with a GM who can discuss with the group and make the decision.
Even rules which are very clear and well defined can and will be disputed by people's own interpretation, hence the need for a GM.
So what if a group is playing with a swashbuckler who uses a light bludgeoning weapon, as long as the GM and group have no problem with it who cares, even if it gets errated the same group would just house rule it there way.
errata is pointless if it so bloated by tiny inconsequential updates that it's impossible to find rulings on what your looking for.

How are you attacking with 2 claws and using a weapon with Swashbuckler or Bard or Daring Champion ?
Hex strike evil eye still has effect on failed save , slumber does not
also as far as monster feats go if monster feats are out then Ghoul bloodline is out too since its out of the monster codex ;)
Well two things, if you want to hit stuff with spells the Bloodrager will fill that role nicely and since you were multiclassing spells already the lower spell levels arn't going to bother you.
As far as making an Arcanist more survivable once spells run out
or if you want somting completel left field
Play a Goblin and take the Roll with It which is quite possible the most amazing feat for a caster.

i have a question can a brawler with claw attacks take feral combat training and exchange unarmed strikes for Just claws and bite? i know extra feat tax for bite
A Very strict reading of the rules says no purely because Feral combat was published before Brawler existed so only has a special exception for Monk
however if you extrapolate that brawler is a hybrid of monk and the brawler flurry is based of monk's flurry you could probably convince a GM that is an appropriate feat.
Oddly enough if your playing a brawler you can just use martial flexibility to grab weapon focus and feral combat training as they are both combat feats for 1 minute during combat and see if your GM lets it stand.
For Feral combat training you can make all the flurry of blows attacks using a single natural weapon.
Errata even cover that if the natural attack has an effect e.g. poison you can apply the poison on each flurry hit.

He wanted us to move in together after 4 months!Anyway, that didnt happen as he could see my reluctance and eventually let it go. He seems to be really into me, wanting me to meet his mom and his daughter at the end of the month. However,my periods have been a bit messed up meaning we havent had sex for the past three weeks. He has now said, we need a break from each other until I sort my body out,and if it carries on, maybe we are better off as friends. He also then said we have only just started dating! Im confused, do I just get rid of him now, his actions seem quite selfish... Help...
