Actually, most halflings do have infravision. All stouts, and those of mixed blood do. Only tallfellows do not. Sure, that's always a possibility, nonetheless 4 in 6 is a hell of a lot better than 2 in 6. You are always able to flee, if you have surprise, though. Sending a lone scout in...

You said: I was just pointing out that, as usual, when your knowledge of 1e is comparable to my dog's knowledge of quantum physics. Try actually reading the books before spouting off infactual information, please. At 1st level, any party with a ranger, elf, or halfling has a reasonably good...

I was actually referring to their chance to surprise. From pg. 16 of the 1st ed. AD&D Players Handbook: If alone and not in metal armor (or if well in advance- 90′ or more – of a party which does not consist entirely of elves and/or halflings) an elven character moves so silently that he...

Admittedly, it requires an elf or halfling, but once again, it's in the book you make assumptions about but refuse to read.

66% is not low.

It changes everything. Unless you're running a game in which nothing happpens until the pcs kick in a door, things change. The high priest finishes his summoning, the princess gets sacrificed, the dragon burns down 3 more villages, the scout returns with valuable information, etc. A LOT can...

A ranger is John Rambo, Zachary Bass, John Thornton, Davy Crocket. He's Daniel Boone, George Washington Sears, and yes, Aragorn (from the book, not the crappy movie).

No. In fact, dex was originally the only stat besides charisma that didn't have a minimum requirement. Dex is for rogues.

This.

I'm happy with a bonus against giant class creatures. Simple and works.

Except where they did. I'll not repost it here, but it's been shown in a number of threads quoting various passages of a half a dozen or more books that hit points have always been a combination of many things, one of those being actual damage. It's been that way from day one until 4e threw a...

Without the chance of sitting bandaged up in an inn - or worse - it's not an adventure.

Which involves wounds healing from 1974-2008.

That would be a pep talk to increase morale, which I can totally agree with. Kind of like a paladin's aura giving a bonus to fear saves. But yelling at someone injured will not make them less injured. It might make a whiny brat who's faking an injury get up and play on. Or it might make the...

As is expecting them to completely disregard reality. I want something in the middle. Healing overnight ain't it.

Really? Braves' Beachy to have Tommy John surgery - Yahoo! Sports Why doesn't Gonzalez just yell at him and send him out to pitch?

Of course. I don't expect them to make a game just to please me, but I suspect there's a good chunk of customers who are likeminded.

Right now? No. Until a lot of stuff is changed, I won't be getting on board. I'm waiting to see what it looks like towards the end of development before I make a decision, though. But the fact that at will magic missile, healing surges, dailies, and what have you were even considered for the...

I'd say the "real world" is widely out of touch with its customers. There's a lot of stuff I refuse to buy simply because of shipping costs. It's not that I can't afford it, but I refuse to spend half again the price of something on shipping. And bitching about it is the only way companies...
