Really? So what you are saying is that as long as one side outnumbers the other 2 to 1, they are guaranteed to win? So technology level or magic level or strategy or luck plays no part in the outcome? You've been watching the Ewoks and Gungans in Star Wars too much. Hey, why don't you and TWO...

Well, back in the OLD old days, a 1st level fighter had a d8 for hit points and he had to ROLL it, none of this max stuff. And to make matters worse, you rolled your CON on 3d6, period. Every try to go up against orcs with a fighter with 1 HP? THATs scary.

Funny you should say that. It reminds me of another thing I noticed between the various editions. If things have more HPs in 3E, why were damage spells not changed to keep up? A fireball still does what is was doing back in 1E. Less actually, since now there are dice caps. Same thing to...

Hey, even a low level PC can roll a crit. ;)

Assuming we are talking about less-than-godlike beings, then I think liches should be ruling the world. Ok, ok, since they aren't really a race, then whatever race the liches chose to rule the world. ;)

True. But you can subtley manipulate the long line of short-lived rulers into making long term rules and laws that favor you. Elf Advisor: "Why my dear King Justin the VII, I can't believe you wish to dishonor the sacred memory of the legendary Justin the II by undoing his extremely forward...

That's right. I meant 3E as compared to previous editions. 3E, while fun, has a much more munchiny feel to it I think. Again, I refer you to the smack-down threads to see the kinds of things that are possible. Sure, the previous editions had deadly combos too, but 3E being so relaxed in...

Please forgive my unothodox way of responding to all the messages posted so far. I did not even know this thread was started until today. (I rarely go online on weekends anymore.) There was a lot said, so I simply picked various quotes to respond to. If you need to know who said what, please...

[minor rant] Look to the real world for the answers to this. Land. Religion. Jealously. Greed. Are good-aligned races immune to all this? Are not wars being fought right now where both sides are claiming to be the "good" guys? :( For example, would you have called the English settlers...

I think Everquest has the right idea here. They made barbarians a sub-race of humans. Like wood elves are to elves for instance. Why should elves be the only race with variations? Then you can easily rename the current barbarian class to Berserker or something along those lines. Makes...

That's a lot of IF's. Fact is, clerics couldn't have 18/00 STR, only fighters. And they also coudn't use two-handed swords. So I fail to see why you even brought all that up. My 3E cleric didn't have to break any rules to do that much damage. Please don't compare UA to all the shenanigans...

:confused: Huh? You started the thread by asking people to give you examples of what made 2E good. I gave you one of biggest lists so far with 13 points. Isn't that what you wanted? Sorry If I am getting drawn into other discussions, but I am just answering questions people are asking...

WOTC has a lot of that old stuff free for the download at their site. Plus there are fans sites that still support 2E. PLus you can get books cheap on Ebay, real cheap, or at old bookstores. Or ask all the 3E players you know to box their 2E stuff and hand it over to you. You would be...

Easy. He had an 18 STR and took martial weapon proficientcy, Greatsword. That gave him an 8-18 damage potential at first level. Ok, maybe I exaggerated a little by saying he did close to 20 points of damage consistently. But most times he rolled in the teens. Lucky rolls aside, it's...

Ok, don't have time to read the whole thread right now, so forgive me if any of these have been mentioned. In no particular order, just as they come to mind: 1) The available races for PC didn't all look like various versions of Elves. 2) Elves were WAY cooler. Not the diagonal-eyed...

Re: Re: D&D Word Problem Quiz Hmmmmm....works for me. Thanks!

You are correct, Sir. That is want I meant.

For the record, Nytin's middle name is "Shynin". But your assumptions were understandable. BTW, I am floored by your explanation of #2 as well. Keep 'em coming! When you are done, I may just put them all in a binder, slap a d20 logo on it, and sell it. I've paid more for less. ;)

No sarcasm! Just awe and amazement. As far as I'm concerned you got head of the class for effort alone. :cool:

Holy Smokes, Gaiden. I guess that settles THAT matter. If I ever need someone to write me a graduate-level thesis, your hired. :) I have to admit your post was enjoyable to read and made me LOL (literally) several times. One thing though: It's "EvalDOOD", not "EvalDUDE". Get it...
