So... is this expert 500 years old? It would take a while for someone tanning leather to work their way up to 40th level. [PLOINK] See above. All right. All those in favor of Sebastian being in charge of our purchases, please raise your hand. Wait, I've got a better idea. We'll just vote him...

Double Post

I think we have gotten very far away from the original question this thread asked: Third Edition Culture- Is is sustainable? Still not certain what "Third Edition Culture" is. Sounds like a college course. The game seems to be going strong. It has its detractors (as does any system) and its...

Amen. 3rd Editon is not the best selling RPG because WOTC is going to anyone's house and twisting their arm to play it. And where are all these people playing RC? Why don't I run into them at my FLGS? Or at cons? Once again, people think if you yell something loud enough and long enough, it...

I think it would be nice if every monster had it's height/width/length listed in its stats. I'm not talking about face/reach, I'm talking about actual size.

...and that's all I'm trying to say :D I'll make a confession... I don't use Diagonal Movement properly! :o I felt as though the 1-2-1-2 rule for diagonal movement added nothing to the combat, so I dropped it. Someone else may drop something like cover for being around the corner of a...

That's SIR Poo-Poo head to you, Whipping Boy :] Don't make me come over there and force you to use a new prestige class! Hold in that gut! Stick out those Feats! Now, modifiers... cal-cu-LATE!

Last time I checked, no one from WOTC comes to your house and forces you to use them. Grow a freakin' backbone, and run your own game. Are you a DM, or whipping boy?

I was having a bit of fun exaggerating what I perceive as some of the trollish posts on this thread and other recent threads that have been covering the same subject. I agree the majority of people on the boards are "discussing" their differences, but there are some who are attempting to paint...

The Dream is Always the Same... RING-RING WOTC: "Hello, Wizards of the Coast, how can I help you?" Caller: "Yeah, I don't like 3rd Edition D&D." WOTC: "Sorry to hear that. What don't you like about it?" Caller: "I think it's too complicated, and it bugs me that it's so popular." WOTC: "I...

"Run" was a poor choice of words on my part for the SECOND part of the sentence, but the first part is still true. You can move up to double your move and the square you start out in is not considered threatened.

Withdraw Withdrawing from melee combat is a full-round action. When you withdraw, you can move up to double your speed. The square you start out in is not considered threatened by any opponent you can see, and therefore visible enemies do not get attacks of opportunity against you when you move...

Well, good. I'm glad to see that 3rd Editon has not strayed from the original rules. That makes it a great game, right? :lol:

Which under 3rd Edtion is not quite the same. If all you do is move, the square that you start out in is not considered threatened for purposes of AoO. So, in most cases, if you run away, you don't get hit.

Every hobby, passtime, and profession has "jargon". Go ask your painter friend what kind of canvas he's using, or explain why he likes the particular brand of oils that he bought last. I always tell people that D&D takes "Hours to explain, 1/2 hour to learn by playing." And it's always worked...

You are not part of the shrill crowd that message was aimed at. There are people who are of the mind that the louder something is yelled, the more true it becomes. Too much talk radio, I think. Those are the people who I was speaking to; those that are stating opinions as fact, and squeal...

It all comes down to this. Hey, I got a radical idea. If you like 3rd Edition, play it. If you don't like 3rd Edition, save yourself some money and don't play it. If you post on a messageboard how "crappy" 3rd Edition is, be prepared to hear from people who like it. We're not going to sit by...

Man, I'd love some of what you're smoking. Care to tell mw what page Attacks of Opportunity can be found in the 2nd Edition Player's guide?

Not everyone views the additional "rules" (I assume most people complain about combat) as a hinderance. I've always found D&D combat prior to 3rd edition to be somewhat laughable in lack of tactics. Everyone stood in one place and wacked on each other until one side was dead. Now with flanking...

Read it again. I never said that someone who didn't like a system had "flaws". What I was saying is that switching systems won't correct things like the GM not willing to put in the time to learn the rules, or players who are rules lawyers or l00t freaks. A game doth not a system make. It takes...
