Trying to ignore something that exists because it's mechanically inferior and whining to the DM that no you simply must play this other thing because it's mechanically superior, but you don't want to play it, you want to play the fluff of the other inferior one? Yeah, that's powergaming. That's...

Yeah there's your example, you're screwing over the team if you're not optimizing. k. I'm not talking about an elf taking eladrin feats, I'm using a half-elf being houseruled as half-eladrin and taking eladrin feats as an example of reflavoring using different mechanics than the default that I...

Annnd this is exactly what I was saying I hate. This mentality that you must have an 18 period and if you don't you're doing it wrong. I just want to play my Eladrin cleric. Do I get a damned thing out of it? No, I'm not even going to be a STR cleric so Eladrin Soldier is useless to me. Do I...

Might as well since everyone else is adding to the necro. Nai Calus, half-elf, M Celenden Theleril, half-elf, M Celendrien Theleril, elf, F Ephram Theryn, human/eladrin, M (Not at the same time. Human NPC in 3.5, Eladrin PC in 4e.) Vel Theryn, half-elf, M Altair Theryn, human, M Darren Wright...

d24s work better for hours. :p You know, I have never yet actually rolled a d12 in a game. Come to think of it, I haven't used d4s either. I need to find a use for all these d3s, d5s, d7s, d14s, d16s, d24s and d30s I've got.

See, I hate this whole thing and the mentality it creates. I just want to play an Eladrin Cleric, damn it, and no, I don't want to point buy an 18 and have the rest of my stats suck horribly. I've never had a character who started with a 20 in anything and I never will unless we're rolling...

My swordmage would feel that he could do a better job, he'd view the job of 'god of death' as being a responsibility to guard the souls of the dead from anything bad happening to them until they could move on/be collected by their god/be returned to life if they need to be; and he wouldn't...

What's really wrong with it is that it assumes that nobody in the party *wants* the RQ to die. Every 4e character I've played so far would, were they to be there, focus on whipping Orcus' arse and then the instant he died, get to work on finishing off the RQ. :-P

FLUMPHS. Dozens of them. An entire set of flumphs. :p Aspect of Corellon Larethian to go with my Ral Partha mini of him. Just, for the love of, well, Corellon, don't base it off the 3e art. :P On the PC sets front, a male eladrin with a longsword and no shield in leather armor, y'know, a...

(*rimshot*) That's because Corellon, even 4e Corellon, is still about a billion times cooler. :p

I'm of the opinion that Corellon, much like the Raven Queen, is 'Unaligned' solely because that's what it says on his character sheet. :p (Except towards the other end of the alignment spectrum from the RQ. Admit it, Corellon, you only wrote down Unaligned instead of Good because it was new and...

Five minutes before someone makes an emo goody-goody dusk elf seeking to get back in Corellon's good graces and redeem himself amongst his former Eladrin kin. Ranger class, scimitars and black panther optional. (Corellon, not Corellion! There is no i in Corellon! :( )

Mechanically, divine archers. The Seldarine Dedicate PP doesn't really cut it since it's racial, deity specific and unlikely to be taken by one of the races that actually can. (Small number of Eladrin clerics, and they have to take Longbow Proficiency to access it. There's usually something I'd...

Swordsage, you mean. ;)

With me, it was finally realising just how much fun I wasn't having with game x. To be fair to it, I had some awful DMs/groups for it. But all in all, it was just too bogged down in rules, too easy to make an irreparably awful character, too difficult to make a viable character, and the general...

This thread makes me miss my cloak. :< It got left on the bed four years ago when I was moving and late for leaving to the airport and forgot it in my haste. I think my mother threw it away like she did with almost all of the stuff I couldn't take with me. :( (Except for the stuff I didn't care...

Cool, but work on not putting words in other people's mouths. I attribute the re-using of AD&D alignment in 3e more to laziness than a lack of durr. When they did un-lazy to make their own alignment system... We got 4e's offensive pile of useless. If they wanted to change it they should have...

Ha, yes. I bought my 1,004th and 1,005th dice in the middle of a session during the DMG2 WWGD because my d20s I'd brought with me were failing me hardcore. (I'd brought 5 to begin with. >_>; )

What? WotC wrote 3e? I had no idea. </sarcasm> Yes, they wrote it, and re-used the 9-point alignment system from AD&D. The new crappy 5-point system is their own creation. Hence. And there is quite a bit of difference between the two, just as much as there is between NG and LG.. If you don't...

Nearly all of my characters are Chaotic Good. Including the 4e ones. Just because WotC is apparently too stupid to grasp the concept of someone being simultaneously chaotic and good doesn't mean I'm going to stop using my favourite alignment. The only one currently who isn't CG is a Paladin of...
