I still have fewer dice than Kevin Cook. I need more.

OK, that was awesome and I want to play it right now, IS. :D

I hate the cover too. Actually I don't think there's any cover art for 4e I actually like. Divine Power only gets a pass because the hideously freakish Dragonborn is a priest of Corellon. :P But yes, enough with the one male, one female adventurers not doing anything, and enough with WAR. I...

Yeah, I let my DDi sub lapse at the right time. Sounds incredibly lame.

I played d20 Deadlands a while back, and settled after some thinking on a nice generic-sounding name for my chinese antiques dealer from New York. ...I named him Li Shang. Cue endless singing of I'll Make A Man Out Of You from Mulan. Fortunately I like that song, and it kept them from making...

Grimdark Bloodstrong will be my next character's name. :p I tend to play Elves or variants on such and thus use a lot of stuff that sounds like it's been ripped off from Tolkein, and for humans come up with fantasy-ish names, or use old-fashioned sounding normal names. Here're some of the...

I stopped reading your wall of 'no you're wrong' here, because seriously. No, SERIOUSLY. Expert. Skill focus. In 3.5. The edition where gods help you if you screw up once making your character with a suboptimal choice because you will then suck mechanically forever, gods help you if you make...

I gave a couple of examples in the very post you quoted - There are plenty of concepts that just plain aren't supported by the way attributes are with their all or nothing setup. No idiot savants, no perceptive but unable to read others people, no people who know exactly how to act in public...

4E I find abstracts things to the point where I can cheerfully just not care. If I can dumpstat STR to 8 and then use my massive intelligence to swing a sword as good as a fighter can and with as much force... Meh who cares, why not cheerfully assume that an 8 INT character is perfectly normal...

Eh, real-time Virtual Tabletop has its advantages over PbP - Instant answers to rules questions/clarification of anything you're not sure of on the map, there's generally a centralized storage of character sheets, combat only takes a long time as opposed to an eternity... PbP on the other hand...

This, entirely this. The game has enough built-in punishment for having bad stats in x as it is. I've got a 3.5 cleric right now who's going to be in a world of hurt before long because the houserules in use give Elves -2 STR instead of CON and take heavy armor away from clerics, and the only...

Er, F&A and the followups to it, Powers and Pantheons and Demihuman Deities, were not even remotely MM-ish. XD; Especially not 4e-style MM.

Yeah, they've covered pretty much everything I *don't* care about this time, so next month should be good for me. :lol:

Deities and Demigods, 4e edition, with 2e Faiths and Avatars-style writeups. Mmm. Planescape 4e.

Meh, yeah, gonna be letting the sub lapse for the entirety of the month and then picking it back up at the beginning of December. Not an interesting month for me, and only one article that could even remotely apply to my character. Which probably still won't really have anything I can use, since...

Exactly. (Explanation in case my sentence structure was unintelligible: - I flamed someone on another board once. They probably didn't deserve it, but it felt like they did at the time, and I didn't care if I got a warning for it, so I did it anyway. - I then contacted one of the mods I talk to...

Obviously 6E was the best, and anyone who claims otherwise has amorous relationships with wool-producing quadrupeds. :p Needs options for Pathfinder, quitting after OD&D/Basic/1e/2e, and other games though. But pretty awesome and fairly accurate, yes. I once failed to get a warning on another...

Depending on the degree of dumpstatting, though, massive 'you are shunnnnned' reactions from the DM are a dick move, though. 8 CHA, meh, you've got a slightly dull personality, or you're a little odd, or whatever. 10 is your average person that we all get along with and even like on a daily...

A hearty, resounding meh.

Fighter, why won't you go away, you boring pile of lameness?
