And this is why playing 3E wizards as blasters is a bad idea: Playing it as a pure blaster is not where the problem lies. The 3E wizard is the unstoppable force it is because of Control Scrap all of those blaster spells and instead load yourself up with crowd control, and you being a glass...

Therein lies the problem though. Because 'breaking 3E' consists of 'y'know, what if, rather than buff someone else, I buff myself?' Or 'what if, rather than be any other class.... I be a wizard and suddenly I can outdo literately everyone in the party?' You complain about build but, frankly...

I see the Truenamer get mentioned, but I'd like to offer up the 3.5E Ultimate Warrior Samurai as another one as I feel, even though the Truenamer barely functions, the UW Samurai is weaker. The OA samurai was fine, the UW one. Hooly dooly. It was early 3.5E and the understanding wasn't quite...

Clerics should just have their elemental options, but paladins fit fine, especially with 5E's whole Oath thing. Can't see an Oath of Tyranny paladin basically being a Templar under the Sorcerer King's employ?

I wouldn't even say its the table though, it was 3E full stop. Yeah, 2E has its alignment things but uh, delve into 3E's stuff. Or Dragonlance. And then there's BoVD and BoED which were.... Well. They sure Were. On the other hand, I'd argue that limits you. What about the paladin who thinks...

This may be our "What setting we came in ons" talking, but as someone who came in via the 3E route.... No. Alignment was a straightjacket. All assassins gotta be evil, so, y'know, Agent 47 couldn't work in that universe. All paladins gotta be Lawful Good and hoo boy the history of bad DM...

Honestly I don't even think you need to go that far for warlocks. Just remove the divine and infernal options, the rest are fine enough You can simply go "As a warlock you've made a pact with something. It might be with the Sorcerer Kings themselves. As an Old Ones warlock, you may have dealt...

how the actual piss did you get 'burn your books and dice' from "alignment is a clunky unrealistic mess and should be removed in order to make more immersive and realistic settings" Like, can you actually walk me through your mental process there? Not everyone agrees, sure, but the number of...

I mean, hardly? Its blatently "Here's this dark evil world. You're against it and can do some good". People love that. I think you're misunderstanding what the social media complaints are about on a fundamental level.

Pardon us crushing sacred cows because it turns out applying the tiniest bit of "Realism" or "Application of morality" or "Logical worldbuilding" to them causes them to shatter and collapse like a brick through a plate glass windshield If Alignment was good rules that worked and were worth...

Yup. Hell, you can easily have a Lawful Good paladin who helps overthrow societies and works on changing their laws because they're corrupt laws that are hurting people. Alignment has always just been clunky. We don't need it, as 4E showed, and hell, Eberron showed it was basically limiting...

Original mold's gone and the market won't support it in this day and age. However, they did do a crowdfunding for Jabba's Sail Barge, and another for a ridiculously huge Unicron, so given those both went well... Might have a chance at it if GI Joe ever goes beyond "Dead"

Magic Mouths are not judges or arbiters of moral behavior. I'd flat-out say it has no way to detect who clarifies as good so its just gonna... Tell everyone who passes Moral absolutism is a stupid idea. Evil people do not consider themselves evil and justify bad things in reasons that can sound...

Man, Aussie pizza's would blow your mind. We love our Hawaiian pizza down here. Heck, pineapple's a regular here. Also? We put it on our burgers as well

CITATION NEEDED Because, hot take? Its more inclusive now
