    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    Try telling that to Muhammad Ali. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear that he broke your immersion. I completely forgot the rope a dope technique is in fact come and get it.

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    Yes because lord knows no one has ever taunted someone ever to moving in and doing something stupid from a psychological standpoint. At this point I'm trying to figure out what series of events led to you thinking that something which more or less has a Wikipedia article dedicated to it and is...

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    Ahhh yes a strawmen. We aren't arguing that you are getting way to upset that maybe just maybe your character isn't a rational actor so that your argument about wanting to have everything be thought out on your end is kind of dumb. PS: I also forgot about this but RAW its not even a problem...

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    Are you telling me your character is never motivated by spite, revenge, anger, or emotion?

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    So explain to me why football players keep on doing it if it becomes ineffective on a weekly basis. Closest thing we've got to gladitorial combat and yet come and get it obviously gets used. I'm fairly certain that you aren't smart enough to know every key combination in every game from...

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    How is it jarring? Its one of the most obvious powers and the fact that you really can't wrap your head around it is perplexing. I've seen it done in football. Its the foundation of the alt-f5 trick which I've seen variants of it done to people in youtube videos. I've had it happen to me in...

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    Congratulations you just described the miss and hit mechanic of a power. Sometimes your character has his mind contorted into doing something stupid. Sometimes not. Its all a matter of circumstances.

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    Then we all agree then that come and get it is a cromulent power.

    D&D 5E (2014) "But Wizards Can Fly, Teleport and Turn People Into Frogs!"

    Because if you've ever had it pulled on you its not all that mundane. It requires a bit of finesse and a bit of right timing to actually pull it off in a narrative context. The problem with your argument and how I've had CAGI used on me flawlessly is that sometimes people don't think...

    D&D 5E (2014) Too many cooks (a DnDN retrospective)

    Ehhh... Since you don't have a problem with it I'll just call him whiny then. Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is an awesome example of how to get banned. Not only is technoextreme talking about moderation in the thread, but they're ALSO continuing to do the thing they were reprimanded...

    D&D 5E (2014) Too many cooks (a DnDN retrospective)

    Then gnomes aren't fantasy by your moronic definition. You are also kind of acting moronic in that there are quite a few races which are mechanically useless. Seriously there is a race in 4th edition which is fairly appealing because you get to play a race which from a historical standpoint and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Too many cooks (a DnDN retrospective)

    Why doesn't it count? People thought the philosopher's stone was really and it doesn't make it any less of a classical fantasy archetype. People used to believe gnomes were actual stone creatures. I also find it mildly hilarious that I'm fairly certain that only one or two of the races in 4th...

    D&D 5E (2014) Too many cooks (a DnDN retrospective)

    I'm talking about fantasy archetypes that predate Tolkein by a couple hundred years.

    D&D 5E (2014) Too many cooks (a DnDN retrospective)

    Actually, you must be living in some bubble devoid of any real imagination because demons a lot of those are classic fantasy archetypes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Crazy dice ideas

    Its dumb because its actually fairly realistic. Most if not all of the D&D weapons were kitbashed implements you'd find in a shed. No. A dagger or even a fork is no less fatal than an ax namely because you are ignoring modern medicine which honestly reduces even the most gruesome of injuries to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Crazy dice ideas

    Its kind of a dumb argument given that half the weapons in D&D all ready lean closer to dinner fork than they do actual weapons.

    Why is realism "lame"?

    Surprisingly yes. It involves a relatively* new field of materials science that involves nanostructures which have optical properties that aren't common in nature. Basically it involves creating materials with index of refractions that are negative which are nonexistent in nature. In fact we...

    Why is realism "lame"?

    Actually if you look back at medieval time periods* you find that it is more bat :):):):) crazy insane than even World of Warcraft could ever hope to be. At that point it actually becomes more fascinating to actually think about what the hell would have actually happened if even a small...

    Gygax Magazine? [UPDATE 3 - Electric Boogaloo]

    Actually I missed the scummy part. Apparently he is actually claiming a trademark for the name Gygax which I don't think is legal nor is even on the PTO website as being registered.

    Actually in the case of names you don't need to.
