Bonesmasher? Headcrusher?

I like the 'bone' part best, I think. I think Bonecrusher is the best,
since that combines bones with the damage type, making it easy to
visualize what's going on.

Crushing? Smashing? Skullbreaker?

My players typically don't care about blunt weapons, and are nowhere
near having a vorpal weapon. They'd *probably* just use 'vorpal' for
all three forms -- it's the same effect, after all.

Players are boring that way =)

Those should give just the individual messages, I wanted to show the
whole thread, to include the later discussion.

They're 'making it easier to use'.

Even so, by the time you can cast those spells avoiding the AoO is
pretty trivial. At that level, though, being able to avoid the full
attack action response can be pretty important.

Cast on the Run is another way to avoid the full attack (and not draw
AoO) -- kind of harder to get as a wizard type, but quite possible by
the time you get those spells.

+2 still seems too expensive for what it does. I still think that +1 is
appropriate.

The first one does give the whole thread; the second shows just the one
message, with a link to the thread at the top.

Heh. I liked it best when the whole link was

Stupid big monitors. I could see the entire message, didn't even think
to scroll.

That's nice and simple. I think they don't expect people to be posting
the links.

Actually, it'd be pretty nice to see a 'short link'... say, display the
message-id as a URL. right-click, 'copy target URL', and move on... and
put the *shortest possible URL that will get there* as the link.

Unless you also cite the full URL, short-URL services introduce an
unnecessary single point of failure. Also, many of them make phishing-
type abuses possible.
