EDIT: oh and I'm back at home now..stupid asathma.

As a kid I used to regularly end up in the hospital at Christmas and Easter due to a chocolate allergy.

My 4e Eladrin Warlock/Bard would have sent you to the medicine cabinet

I had a 3.5 Swashbuckler/Swordsage that would have required heavy doses of Thorazine , lol - it was adding three (and sometimes four) different ability modifiers to damage with a two-handed finesse weapon (+2d6 sneak attack) and teleporting 50' multiple times each encounter, as well as being a competent skill monkey and handy with a healing kit...
There were so many moving parts to it that literally takes me five minutes to explain it all.

Mine was designed to be a DM's nightmare. not about damage at all, but could wipe out minions like a Controller. Teleport 5' as a minor action, +10' from some magic item that I can't remember now. Most powers had to do with teleport. Swap with another character as teleport. Teleport an opponent, doing damage. Teleport away doing damage to adjacent enemies. Paste an opponent to the ceiling for a little while, while we eliminate the other opponents. Teleport through a solid wall, without needing to see the other side (once per day, I believe). Massive pluses to Persuasion and Bluff, from Bard rituals. Basically a ritual do derail just about any Skill Challenge you could think of. And, I think my favourite, didn't do a ton of damage but applied multiple damage type keywords meaning "resistance is futile."

My party members constantly complained about me not keeping up with my 'required' DPR. They didn't think about the guy that they didn't need to fight, for various reasons, while they were mopping up the rest.

And now I want a poll about what's more annoying - unfettered metagaming, judicious use of fudging, or pineapple on the communal pizza.

The answer: polls

My guy was a martial controller, although that terminology didn't officially exist in 3.5 - he used a spiked chain, so he threatened a large area. He'd strategically teleport or tumble into empty spaces between groups of enemies (taking advantage of the flanking rules for reach weapons to line up flanking on multiple opponents) and start throwing around opportunity attacks and trip attempts like beads at Mardi Gras before switching positions again...

It was strictly a theory-op build, though, as I'd never play something like that in a normal game (the original concept it was based on that I did play was a rogue with a few fighter and swashbuckler levels).

I am not a fan of armchair GMs, especially ones who want to sit at someone else's table and explain how they should run games for them.

Yeah no, it's definitely the pineapple

Well, I commented. Guess I'm disqualified.

That's not much variety for potato chips and popcorn is it. Lots of space taken up repeating the same flavor. ;-)

The chocolate aisle probably crushes what most places here in the states have though in terms of quality.
