    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    Fair enough. Wasn't he killed by a rabbit? That's cool. This reminds me very much of the discussion about whether or not Blackbeard could be modeled as a 3.x fighter. Clearly, the answer to both is Yes, but that doesn't mean that the fighter is the best class to model the...

    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    In that 3.x is a WotC game, sure. But, for some reason, that image only gets trotted out in response to things 3e did well that 4e does not. EDIT: If they were poking fun at themselves/4e, surely it would be an ad to increase combat times, weld you more strongly to the grid, require more...

    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    Yup. It's a good thing that WotC never insults earlier editions, or those who criticize its current one.

    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    I'm glad you used the word "probably" in your parenthetical statement. If you had used that in your earlier statements (except the one about Lancelot not being one of the Grail Knights) you would have come out better. Sure, you could model Lancelot as a 3.X fighter. You can also model...

    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    Her contemporaries would disagree with you. As would, I guess, anyone who considers her a saint today. :D Of some interest might be Joan of Arc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, which gives a crude overview of Joan of Arc's visions. Possible interesting reading here: Lancelot -...

    I am looking forward to this. I was certain that I had the right answer.

    Mearls' "Stop, Thief!" Article

    Good post. However, making some things easier and some things harder either (A) makes the game harder overall, (B) makes the game easier overall, or (C) is a net wash. RC

    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    That could be so. Crom knows that no one could possibly post because they are actually disappointed with something. This reminds me, in a way, of that well-known edition warrior, Mike Mearls, posting about how earlier editions compare to 4e on his blog. Obviously, just a H4ter!

    :lol: I know that! (I wonder where my brain was at when I wrote "horse"?) :blush:

    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    Yes. For you, it seems to fall under my second point. I.e., the rule gets in the way of immersion. You have to leave your role (magic-user) to figure out how the mechanics work (why don't I pick up the sword and start swinging?). This is no different than, in 4e, when someone has to figure...
