    Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

    Less wizards firing crossbow bolts, more maneuvers and reserve acid bolts? Sign me up.

    The "orc baby" paladin problem

    Well, if trolls killing humans isnt evil, I dont see why humans killing trolls is evil. Good day, Sir.

    does CN get a bad rap?

    If I am gaming with someone I dont trust, I have a much worse time. If I dont trust the DM, I assume rulings will be arbitrary, or incorrect, that every time his +5 attack bonus hits my 36 ac he "rolled" a 20 the old fashioned way, etc. If I trust the DM and he trusts me, we work together to...

    The "orc baby" paladin problem

    I believe the scragpoles were habitually killing people and eating them. I believe thats in the OP itself. If not, its in one of Whizbang's first clarifying posts.

    Dread Necromancer in my game?

    I've played a Dread necromancer WITH Tomb-Tainted Soul, and it was not an issue. It meant I handled my own healing, and the Cleric didnt have to waste his turns on me. I also took Arcane Disciple: Destruction and got some inflicts to cast on me, and on my minions.

    Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

    A WB 1 has ALL his maneuvers readied, just to be clear. All his maneuvers also happens to total 3. Tome of Battle is my all time favorite 3.5 book, even if it is a bit mechanically weak. The ideas are awesome, the polish on the mechanical side is just a little lacking.

    does CN get a bad rap?

    I also agree with this. In our exciting "Playing evil characters thread" I believe this was what I espoused. Living, breathing characters, with real motivations, who have no actual idea what his "alignment" is, even though the gameworld does, via know alignment, and whatnot. I mean, how can you...

    No Second Edition Love?

    I call baloney on this entire line. I dont game to be mystified, I game to have fun. I dont play to listen to rules obfuscations, I game to enjoy a shared story, of which I help shape and control. I dont game to sit down and be told what happens, and to roll a die once in a while, which the DM...

    Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

    WOTC makes the rules. I bought "D&D 3.5 Edition", not "D&D I do what I want and play God, and you like it, or else, Edition" If the DM has sensible house rules, and informs me ahead of time, thats cool. If the DM has nonsensical house rules, and makes them up on the spot, I have my own house...

    Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

    We dont flame people on these boards, but, suffice to say, I hate the Cleric, Mages, Sorcerers and Druids Twinkers handbook also, that lets them stop time, horridly wilt a room, and holy word away 400 demons at a time, no save no sr. Oh wait, thats the PHB. Hating on melee types for being able...

    To answer Karinsdad, anyway, the 20th level DM is pulling a fast one. Heh.

    How to stop Tumblers?

    When I was GMing Rolemaster, I had the majority of the tables in Arms Law memorized. Thats a feat worth discussing.

    does CN get a bad rap?

    LE plays well with others. I've said it many times. It plays nicer than CN, certainly, with less backstory.

    does CN get a bad rap?

    I find the solution is not to ban perfectly good alignments, but to state things like, "I expect the party to have good reasons to work together, and not backstab each other." So, if you're Jack Sparrow, you can be CN, fine, but you have to explain your reasons for being with the party, which...

    does CN get a bad rap?

    Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow, reminds me of a Chaotic Neutral character. I'd certainly allow Jack Sparrow into one of my games. No question.
