    I miss the Jeff Easley covers. :(

    Why adhere to the "core" classes? Why not deconstruct for flexibility?

    I disagree because I don't find anything heroic about 4 uber characters killing a dragon that's weaker then they are together. Beating a weaker foe is not heroic. The distinction comes from the player who can build a character that can do what he wants it to do based on the story he made for...

    Why adhere to the "core" classes? Why not deconstruct for flexibility?

    When will some players get it in their thick skull that point-based systems are no more imbalanced then class based ones? They are just balanced differently. In PB systems every point you spent on something is a point not spent somewhere else. One of your character is combat monster, not a...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    Scion stop wasting your virtual ink on this self proclaimed idiot. He's applying is moral code to the situation to decide wether it is evil or not. That's what they feel like to me already. ;) I still can't call it absolute though. But that is semantic which is a waste of time.

    Why does Undead=Evil

    I disagree, D&D uses relativism in some cases which is part of the problem. It's ok to kill evil creatures even though killing is considered evil. Taking alignment into account breaks the absolutism of D&D morality. You cannot relate the morale decision in absolutism to any factor. If killing...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    I agree, I did not mention who's action though. The action was made by the caster. He is to blame since he commited the action with a tool. If you were raised in a society were it is normal you would think differently. Perception dictates what we believe is right and wrong but our perception...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    What scion said. A Paladin under a Dominate spell that destoys an orphanage is not evil because it did not do it! The caster decided on the action and he should be accountable for it because it was "HIS" decision. Would you like being judged for the actions of others? I sure wouldn't. A tool...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    If my Paladin commited an evil act under a Dominate spell and DM asked me to attone I would leave the game and never return. Why the hell should I attone for failling a Will save? It's mostly luck damn it. I have principles I do not break, one is accountability for one's actions. I am not...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    Which in no way disproves that what he said was false logic. A rule cannot be proven good by showing it not working in some cases. Prove to me that the rules always work or accept that they are imperfect. If you're under a Dominate spell and commit an evil act, is it an evil act? Failling a...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    That has to be a sophism. Exceptions can only prove that rules are not absolute.

    Why does Undead=Evil

    They can try but it won't work without a working metabolism.

    Why does Undead=Evil

    Why in hell would a thing with no metabolism need to eat? I can understand people shunning you if they know your a Necro. But evil is always relative because it depends on our upbringing. If you were raised in a community that used the dead to help them you would most likely not see it as...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    I think Sejs is absolutely right. I dislike this lack of logic though. Illogical things are tough to relate too since they make no sense. Zombies are mindless, they do not choose to kill innocents, the ones who orders them does. They are the evil ones here not the body with no choice. I doubt...
