That's right! Honestly, it's been all downhill since they ditched the Magic User name.

Really, they should have kept that nomenclature for all the classes! Here's my updated, 5e classes by way of OD&D (with some modern revamping)-

Conan Wannabe
Annoying Brah
Deities & Demidudes
Hippy
Fighting Person
I Know Kung Fu
Smitey McSmiteFace
Call Me Aragorn
Stealy Dan
Natural Magic User
Faustian Bargainer
Magic User
Tool User

Now that you see it ... you want it. You know you want it.

What about edgier Drizzt?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your D&D wizard isn't Gandalf.

Yeah, my wizard can actually cast spells!

What about edgier Drizzt?

Drow, drow
Can't be edgier than Drizzt
Drow, drow
Sliced with two scimitars makes you bleed
Drow, I am good and misunderstood
If Bruenor knew how misery loved me

Yes he is - I wrote in Gandalf in the space that said Name. What do you mean my wizard can't dual-wield a sword and a staff?? Of course he can - it was in the movies.

He wasn't wielding them, he was just carrying them...for...someone....

Pun pun will never die! (and outside of DM interference he never will technically)

This is just BadWrongDrPepper, isn't it?





(I also miss Tab.)

Well New Coke was just flat Pepsi. Not bad if you like flat Pepsi.

I miss Fresca. (Grapefuit juice messes with one of my meds.)

I never understood how some people can look at an intentional attempt to break the system by pushing it past the limits of all absurdity in a particular corner case and declare that because someone can intentionally try to break the system that the system in its entirety is broken.
Clearly, they've never seen a Roadrunner cartoon.

How DARE you claim that 5e isn't...oh, wait, never mind.

True story: I remember back when my gaming group was debating whether to switch to Pathfinder or 4th Edition. One of the arguments presented against Pathfinder (or any other 3.5E ruleset), for some reason, was PunPun.

After the player finished his fifteen-minute long TED Talk about how to build a PunPun character, and walked us through all of the different cherry-picked hoops one would have to jump through in order to make that happen, he concluded with "...and that's why the third-edition rules are completely broken. I say we switch to 4th Edition."

There was a pause. Then one of the other players at the table deadpanned "Uh, cool story bro." and we all laughed.

In the end, our DM decided that we would go with Pathfinder, since we were already familiar with the rules and he didn't want to deal with having to learn a new game system and purchase new books. It had nothing to do with how "broken" the system was or wasn't; the PunPun argument was defeated by price tags and learning curves.
