My point is that they've basically started over with a bunch of heroes. When Superman died and came back he was very different than before he died and came back. His abilities have varied a ton over the years. Not just in which ones he has, but also with how strong those powers are. Strong...

The point is that comics, even for heroes like Spiderman and the Hulk, have never been consistent, let alone highly consistent. Hell, Superman couldn't even fly when he first began life as a hero back in Action Comics #1.

The point is that measurement doesn't matter when the measurements are 3, 7, 4, 3, 9, 12, 2, 5, and ?(whatever the next guy is going to use). When the "measurements" = whatever the writer feels like, it's no different than Batman who has whatever the writer feels like. You can measure Batman's...

My preference would be to see it as a full class, but WotC is allergic to creating new classes, and only does so when the concept is sufficiently different from other classes. See the Artificer and the attempted Psions. So there's no way they do it as anything other than a subclass. As for...

I can't fathom why. We KNOW it's not real. How could it scare someone? Also, from the other posters in this thread, it hardly seems like I'm an anomaly here. They also question the fear aspect.

I have played with amazing DMs, some of whom are professional actors, directors, and script writers. None of them have ever been able to scare me. They've been amazing at evoking a horror atmosphere in the game, but no fear. But then no horror book or movie has ever scared me, either. Other...

Aragorn literally uses healing hands, telepathy, safely(due to his superhuman willpower) uses the palantir, and commands the dead. In the movies he also uses animal empathy, another power of the numenoreans which he possesses.

Nobody was fighting 100 to 1 against orcs armed with ranged weapons and killed 20 of them by themself. Except maybe perhaps the dunedain who were there, Legolas and Gimli. Oh, the undead probably did as well. But no normal humans. Again, you're choosing a very weird hill to die on. Edit...

They had far fewer numbers than the orcs. FAR fewer. Also, Isildur, a dunedain, cut the One Ring off of Sauron's hand..........after one elf and one dunedain defeated Sauron who was empowered by the One Ring. I'm really not sure why you're choosing this hill to die on. That the dunedain were...

Wrong thread. This belongs in the "Today I learned" thread. :p

You do know that he was attacked by around 100 orcs, was not in particularly defensive terrain, and many of the orcs had bows. He still killed TWENTY of them. Regular folks can't do that.

Yes, but in some families the blood is nearly pure, and in some members of those families the blood runs true. Denethor and his sons were in that category and would be High Men.

This shall not pass!

Actually, no. More than one dwarf was created by Aule. Durin was the first.
