I don't think that I have seen anything like this on TV before. It is almost a little shocking that they had a little story about two guys in the fraternity had sex in first episode, then tried to hook up again in the second episode. There are Asian and black frat boys and sorority girls in the show as well. The casting is excellent, the actors are about the right age, and they are new and fresh, so that makes them more real. Unlike a movie which can only last a few hours, I can have about 45 minutes of fun watching it free on TV weekly. And they actually filmed outside instead of inside of studios. Can we also call this a younger version of "desperate wives?" some of the writers must be Greeks themselves, the story seems to reflect somewhat of the real fraternity and sorority life. It is more realistic than American pie with less explicit sex jokes. So if a show like this can actually make people to identify themselves with the characters, then it is a pretty good show. When I was rushing a fraternity, my big brother was not like Cappie at all, I wish that I had a big brother like him. I wish that I spent a little more time socializing. Even though I am no longer in college, it makes me miss the wonderful college life. I have watched two episodes so far, I really like it. It's nothing new, but when it comes to college, nothing ever is. But everyone else should have a ton of fun watching it. If you get offended even at jokes about things that aren't-so-great about Greek life, then you'll spend the entire first episode, and probably many other, cringing and yelling. This isn't a show for over-sensitive Greeks. The opening scene harkened to an only-slightly-dramatized version of preparing for an actual formal rush in some sororities and it continued on from there. And are also very fun to play with just on are own, let alone to watch on a TV screen. As a member of a Greek society, I can say that a lot of the stereotypes that are brought up here are ones that come up almost every time someone starts talking about the sororities and fraternities on a campus. But tuning in with a friend from college found us both enjoying the pilot episode a lot more than we had expected. Another of ABC Family's so-bad-they're-almost-good shows. When I first heard about "Greek," I figured I would watch it because it sounded ridiculous. Greek is a great show, and the characters are easy to relate to. One of the biggest things that frats and sororities are known for is parties and drinking. It takes you into the truth of Greek life, something that a lot of people look past. I am definitely looking forward to the return of Greek. It was surprising and I continued to question her from the start, but of course, I did want it to work out between her and Rusty. So Jen K was fairly crazy, but she actually liked Rusty. I like how they addressed the issue of gay people in Greek houses, Calvin was a very real feeling character, and I really respected him because he stuck to his standards. One of my favorite episodes included him getting completely trashed at a strip club, and Rusty having to call Casey to bail them out. Cappie is one of the most fun loving characters, and absolutely insane. Her character evolved, and her relationship with Rusty became more and more loving and outgoing. Rebecca and Evan had an "affair" early into the season, which made you feel fairly sympathetic for Casey. Rustys sister Casey was pretty much the typical girl on campus EVERYONE is jealous of. Probably every college bound freshmens worst nightmare. Its hard enough moving away from home, and being forced to live in a small room with someone you don't even know, then come to find out. I love how one of the biggest things they covered throughout the season was the relationship between Rusty and his crazy roommate. The story plot was great, it gave you a character to love, hate, someone you want to be like, someone you don't want to be like, and of course a crazy roommate! It was one of my first looks at what writers believed Greek life to be like, and I can honestly say they hit the nail pretty dead on. So when I first saw commercials for Greek I did have a few questions to how they were going to approach Greek life, if they were going to give away sacred frat and sorority secrets, if they were going to focus on the brother and sisterhood a fraternity or sorority brings, or what most college kids think of Greek life as a huge party.

Out of all bosses in Freedom Planet series, she has the most number of phases, 6.The intro scene where Merga screams as she awakens is a popular meme amongst the Freedom Planet fanbase.It is unknown whether Merga chose to be bioengineered, or was forced to.Syntax is a black and grey robotic AI that resembles a cephalopod. It appears to be the latter case, as proven in the stage Gravity Bubble that Bakunawa rose because of the lit up beacons all around Parusa. Syntax (, Shintakkusu) is an AI (artificial intelligence) robot who serves as Lord Brevons strategic advisor and defense drone during his galactic conquest. Either Merga is using telekinesis to control Bakunawa, or perhaps she was only putting her fist up for a dramatic effect. It shows Merga raising her fist up as Bakunawa rises up from the ocean. It seems like Merga may be able to control Bakunawa telepathically, as shown in the announcement trailer for Freedom Planet 2.Despite this, once he learned the truth regarding Merga's true intentions with Bakunawa, he regretted his actions and left her side.ĭue to being bio-engineered, Merga likely has enhanced powers and abilities at her disposal, some of which includes enhanced strength and being able to create energy blades from the palm of her hands. Merga despises the Magister and any other earth dragon for not only enslaving the water dragons, but also committed genocide that left her and Lilac the last of their kind.Īskal reveals that he was working for Merga after accusing the Magister for his crimes. However, she's the only one who Merga has a soft spot for being a water dragon alongside her, such as calling her hatchling. It is confirmed that Merga does not have any kind of relative connection to Lilac, aside from the fact that they're both water dragons. Merga has demonstrated a romantic interest in Cordelia, despite the former being a water dragon and the latter an earth dragon respectively. After her kind was wiped out by the accidental firing of Bakunawa's mining laser by the earth dragons, she swore vengeance on them and will stop at nothing to achieve her goal, despite it being against her lover Cordelia's wishes. Merga is depicted as a headstrong, determined champion of immeasurable power. Merga's outfit is a royal-like battle armor with the color scheme of black, gold and purple. After saving him from the crash-site of the Bakunawa, Lilac learns of his origins on a different world and agrees to help him get home. She has fin-like ears, fins on the back of her head, a long tail and 3-clawed feet. While searching for Merga after the events of Freedom Planet 2, Lilac finds a boy unlike shes ever seen before. Merga is a pure-blooded water dragon with light blue skin and magenta eyes. constitution requires a significant supermajority of states to ratify amendments.

We have been reluctant to weigh in publicly because in the first place there should not be August elections on special issues. My organization has been bombarded with questions from well-meaning Ohioans seeking an impartial and credible explanation for which way they ought to vote.

Ohioans are duly confused about what is as stake. You read that correctly: It is an amendment to protect against future constitutional amendments. On August 8, Ohioans go to the polls to vote on Issue 1, which is an amendment to our state constitution that would raise the threshold for passing future amendments from the currently required 50 plus 1 to 60 percent of voters. We do not have the time, money, or wherewithal.This opinion piece was first published in The Columbus Dispatch. It is unsurprising that special interests on both sides are opposed to Issue 1 and doing everything they can to get you to vote "no."įace it, you and I and ordinary Ohioans are not going to be the ones amending Ohio’s constitution in the future anyway. Supporting Issue 1 is responsible, commonsense, and unfortunately unpopular. Supermajority requirements ensure that people who are out of favor with the ruling class have protections from the whims of the majority. With a simple majority of 50 percent plus 1 being able to make amendments, Ohio’s constitution will become an increasingly silly document and risks exchanging the rule of law for the rule of special interests. We should not let these one-off campaigns continue to do so. Recent attempts include the effort to grant marijuana-growing monopolies into our state’s foundational document. That absurd minutiae has no business being in our constitution.īut it has become the business of special interests to amend our constitution as frequently as they can - and both political sides are guilty.

Wisdom – Governs your Will saves and your perception skills. I recommend taking a 16 and using your knowledge skills in combination with a high INT score to bolster your utility and damage via Knowledge Devotion (see below). If you want to be smarter, more skilled, and cast utility spells (either through the later levels of the class or or PrC), go beyond 14. There are many tradeoffs to consider when selecting your intelligence score, so plan ahead as to how much you want. You have few skill points, but many spells. This also affects skill points and bonus spells. Intelligence – In this stat, you need at least a 15 in order to cast your highest-level spells. If you don’t care for spells that need high save DCs, just go with a 12 or 13. However, it is not a top priority unless you really want the HPs for your party. You have limited feat slots for a DEX-based build, so basically it is a choice between DEX and STR, where STR is clearly better in most cases.Ĭonstitution – Get as much CON as you can, as it adds HP that you need to stay alive. You could do Weapon Finesse, but Duskblades are so much better with a solid Strength score to both ensure they hit, and to improve their already-impressive single target damage output. Don’t ignore this stat you will regret it later.ĭexterity – Not really necessary to ever pump DEX, UNLESS you are doing a Reach Weapon/Combat Reflexes/AoO/Tripper build or something. This should be prioritized after you reach the minimum INT, and once you have the amount of CON you want. Strength – Very important score, allows you to hit things in melee and deal more damage, but mostly ensures you hit things. Skill Points: 2 + INT – Could be better, but it’s acceptable because with a decent INT score you will have enough skill points to invest in what you want. Saves: Good Fort, Bad Ref, Good Will – Fair enough, you have the HP to soak the failed Ref saves. Hit Die: d8 – Just good enough for melee combat with a decent CON score.īase Attack Bonus: Full – Excellent, considering this is a gish-type class. Both are viable builds, but I tend to favor the versatility of the early-exit Duskblade, as there is a lot of sacrifice in getting to full-round channeling. There’s generally 2 kinds of Duskblade builds: ones that go to level 13 to get the full-round Arcane Channeling in order to spread their DPS and spells between monsters with a reach weapon, full attacking, and those who exit some time after level 3 or 6 and make do with the basic ability in order to focus on single-target DPS. There are some variant builds that use Duskblade more extensively in order to abuse the full-channel Arcane Channeling to damage hordes of enemies with huge reach or buff allies by the same mechanic. There are not very many endgame options for a Duskblade, so it is best to exist the class via Prestige or Multiclass at some point, also. A Duskblade can be a nice addition to a Brains-Over-Brawn build (high-INT melee fighter), as she gets a good handful of useful spells in the core 3 levels. Ultimately, the Duskblade is not good at much else besides dealing damage, so this guide is mostly optimizing for more damage and some amount of utility. It is also a generic class that can be used to add flavor to other builds, so you could have a charger but start with some levels of Duskblade because you want magic-infused attacks. While it is out-damaged by other classes and builds, it has a few perks (lots of free cantrips, a few random useful spells, full BAB) that some people may like. While the class is limited in spell selection, it is very good at doing nova-style damage in melee using its Arcane Channeling ability to both attack and cast a touch-range spell on an enemy. The Duskblade is probably the easiest way to both cast spells and do melee combat, but far from the best.
