agreed on all counts.

I believe that since you've been proven to wrongfully accuse someone of making an appeal to authority (and strawmen btw) and that you don't seem to actually know the definitions for the fallacies being brought up.. that I'll have to take a risk and say that I think you might be incorrect again...

Ovinomancer quit while you're behind. Your posts are just misinformed here. You say it's bad that you can do a 1 level dip to get EB. It's the only cantrip in the game that works this way and the opportunity cost to MC warlock just for a cantrip and delay your class progression by a level...

To be fair I started posting about them because they were rampant all over the thread in almost every post and actually going through the trouble of replying to them and explaining why and so on was getting frankly annoying. So posting a meme was a much more direct way of pointing out that if...

Haha nice!

Thank you, I was just going to post this myself. To be clear: Appeal to Definition The dictionary definition of X does not mention Y. Therefore, Y must not be part of X. Or more detailed: Using a dictionary’s limited definition of a term as evidence that term cannot have another meaning...

This is why, along with the post right before the one you quoted, I replied with "uh-huh". Just so we're clear.

uh-huh.

Why are we rolling initiative? Oh the bad guy is attacking us? Where is he? Oh we don't know? Ok.. Oh I rolled a high initiative! Where's the bad guy I want to attack him before he hurts us! Oh I can't because I'm surprised? But why am I surprised if nothing has happened yet and I...

PC's and NPC's are equally vulnerable if an attack does in fact kick off an encounter. I don't allow more than one attack though, even in the case of characters with the Extra Attack feature for example or spells with multiple attacks. It's just one attack resolved and then surprise being...

Thanks for linking an official response. I just prefer my way of doing things because I don't have players sit there in initiative asking why they rolled it, the reason for the encounter starting is always obvious and clear to the party, surprise is never wasted (IE half the first round no one...

At my table I begin the encounter after whatever provoked an encounter to begin is resolved. IE: The thug in the marketplace stalked his target undetected (stealth vs passive perception) by the noble until the moment when the thug stabs the noble in the back. I would narrate that the crowd...

This is 37 pages of back and forth and I've constructed many well reasoned arguments about various subjects in this thread alone, like other people who have contributed. How is that quoted post the first time out? I don't think that makes any sense.

Thanks, I ended up not bothering to reply to his appeal to authority rant up-thread because of the exact reason you just described. He mistakenly thinks that my response "you should ask a lead designer for 5e your question" is an appeal to authority fallacy. I didn't think responding would be...

Ah I edited my response a little because I figured that you would try to pull something like this. To be clear: Agree to disagree buddy.

Sure buddy. Agree to disagree.

Asking the question is just a means to and end. The point is to get him in contact with a lead designer so he can have a discussion and can't just dismiss others doing the same thing like he's been doing. He can ask his own question or yours, I don't care and it doesn't matter. You guys are...

As I've explained multiple times now, me asking will serve no purpose because he's just going to dismiss whatever answer I get like he's done the previous 3 times someone has asked and received an answer. Asking myself isn't productive. And I'm asking 1 person to go have a discussion, I've...

we tried explaining that to him but he dismissed the tweet response like he's done the others. The only way he's going to change his mind about this is if HE contacts them on twitter himself and gets a discussion going. Us getting answers on twitter hasn't proven to be compelling for him since...

Hey Arial Black, did you post that question on twitter yet? I'm sure it would help you learn designer intent and then you could share what you've learned here with us afterwards! It's a great opportunity, you should take it!
