Re: So let me see if I have this straight...

You guys are allowed to call people names like "4rries" because they dare to play a game y'all don't like.them? It would actually be pretty funny if there were a lot of variation, apparent effort, or semblance of anything but circle jerking. I like "3cidivists" and "Patholo...

Good to know. When a player asks me what happens when they swing their sword, I'll just tell them whatever I feel like. Do they expect the game to hold their hand or something? Yes, do exactly this as far as fluff goes. Does the as-written fluff say "you bisect your enemy" or whatever? Wh...

And Darwinism instantly disproves Mystic's defense. Mystic says: There's no need for any *rules* about what powers do out of combat, even basic stuff like whether radiant damage illuminates a room or fire powers ignite combustibles. Obviously any DM will realize that you can light a fire with a fla...

Okay, I wanna vote Mystic Mongol, Darswinism, and Books off the island. I can do without people showing up en masse to just say we're stupid if we don't like 4e. Hey precious, you're going to hurt my feelings. Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not going to throw a hissy fit if someone doesn't li...

Now Let me tell you a story of a paladin who had holy strike. An ability that ignites his weapon in a holy flame. He could not light his campfire with his holy flame, he could not light his way in a dark tunnel with his flame, he could however use it as a signal flare if and only if he was smashing...

Please tell me about this Bane Guard. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%22bane+guard%22 First result. edit: Basically it's a mess of a class that veers wildly back and forth between being overpowered (a late-game Daily that flat-out kills an opponent) and being complete shit (having three different primary sta...

Also, I'd like to let everyone know in this thread that Darwinism is a representative of the smartest forums on the internet , who have a thread called grognards.txt where they bash Frank Trollman for writing the Bane Guard and everyone here for being idiots who just don't get the narrative perfect...

We are not budging on this issue. We already had to get a new word because people were arguing that it wasn't "realistic" for a man to jump six meters straight up while having no apparent problems with a horse flying under the power of fucking wings. We are not getting a new new word. Ver...
