    Is it rude to offer other players unsolicited optimization advice?

    I voted that it is rude. However, I feel this should be a qualified answer. Unsolicited assistance / advice is rude. It is, however, easy to get such solicitation. Just say "would you like some optimization suggestions?"

    Would you play D&D if the sacred cows were sacrificed?

    I voted Neutral, since that is what I feel about GURPS, and GURPS is what D&D would be if it were developed the way you have described.

    How big of a deal is treasure to you?

    I played D&D for 20 years before 3e came out. Magic items were not assumed. They were found, quested for, or earned. In some campaigns, they were almost non-existent. In others, they were available like candy. In all of these, the fun was not enhanced or diminished. The fun was in the...

    Magic of incarnum ir Epic Level Handbook

    Neither. I don't use epic rules for post-level-20 play, and MoI was just a little too much added to what would have been a decent single article.

    PC Creation: Pointbuy or Roll?

    I use a stanadard / static array, and let the player move two points from any one stat to any one stat. Apply racial mods afterward.

    I read them, although I am not generally in the PDF purchase market.

    The Great EN World News Poll

    The news page is my front page. I check it daily. Although I don't find every section appealing (I marked only four of the sections), I think they all have some merit. My only news page suggestion would be to re-work the polls. A poll shows up on the news page, and it will let me vote in it...

    d20 needs different rules for NPCs

    I think the poll and the original post clouded what has become a much better discussion topic. I voted Neutral / 3. I am now very interested.

    d20 needs different rules for NPCs

    So... what's the product in which interest I am being asked to express? The product you offer in the middle of the post does not seem to take into consideration the things being discussed on either side of it.

    Is this fair? -- predict the general opinion

    Most will view it as unfair, but for different reasons. Some will feel it is unfair because it is a save-or-die with a ridiculously high DC. (failing on a 19 means there is only a 5% chance of success, assuming a 20 always saves) Some will feel it is unfair because it is an obvious DM-built...

    Description in "boxed text"

    I voted Other. I prefer this: A combat encounter has immediate combat observations first, and other observations come after that. Immediate combat observations tend to revolve around your opponents. The PC that wants to be concerned with environment observations can announce so, whether to...

    What's your adventure preference?

    As DM I prefer unrelated adventures that let me create the links in my campaign. As Player, I don't care.

    Do you fudge?

    The spread for this poll will be less than informative because it has 10 choices with only three explantions of the meaning. What is the differences between a 2 and a 3? A 3 and a 4? The results may be "curved", but it is probably better to offer five specific options: Never Frequently...

    Best epic rules

    That the 3e Epic rules have only received 35% of the vote (at the time of this post) is, in my opinion, the most informative element of the poll. I too would prefer a non-rulechange approach to high levels, similar to that mentioned by Dyir. However, I also find higher than the 12-15 level...

    What do you do with the character sheets after a session?

    Both. My players keep their copies of the sheets. I keep my e-copies on my desktop.

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 16

    Psychic Warrior goes down with more votes than the other three combined!

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 11

    Looks like the Knight is going down. Sad, 'cause I think it is a really fun class without being over the top in power or fan-atic flavor-exaggeration.
