Well my point wasn't really about them being goofy as being so heavily thematic. If you buy Draconomicon or RotD, chances are that you are looking to feature dragons rather heavily in your campaign. MM IV? Not necessarly. Yet, you're stuck with a serious percentage of monster that are...

I can see why people are upset though. If they had shown up in Draconomicon or Races of the Dragon, no one would have blinked. But in MM IV? It's sort of overkill, especially since the two books I mentioned aren't -that- old.

Never mind.

Ahh but see, to me that's where the metagaming crawls in. While the mass creation of Golems for war purposes can make sense, giving them sentience at the cost of other, more useful abilities for such a creation doesn't make sense... Unless you figure in that, later on, they will be ECL +0 PCs.

Ok, so I've come to this thread late,a nd the point I'm answering to was raised a while ago. But, IMHO, it was never answered satisfactorly. Yes, Golems are "XP bags" that shouldn't be PC races. They are not alone! So are mindless undeads, oozes, plants, animals and magical beasts. I don't...

Kadoch is at first a bit surprised by Khepra's reaction to his comment. What's wrong? He dislikes compliments? Finally, he realizes how his comment could possibly have been taken. "Hey friend! All I meant was that it seems to me that there is as much skill as luck involved in such things...

Kadoch shrugs and smiles. "Sure, I'll go with you and apply. 200 gold pieces would go a way into my next project. Scorpions scare me not, and bandits, even less."

Kadoch smiles at all gathered at the table. "This is great! I think merchants tend to like to hire a small group over a bunch of individuals, since they assume people will work better together. That's what I heard, anyway. And I'd be more than happy to do any metal work you folk need on the...

Seeing the mannerisms of the man, Normand is starting to relax a little bit, starting to doubt he's actually a fell. When he glances at him again, after catching the reins, he smiles at him gently, and attempts a few more words in arabic. "Ok, ok, me no shoot. Need look at you and stuff, then...

That's fine, Kadoch is always happy to use his smithing skills. Now he wants and try out his smiting skills!

Kadoch smiles, somewhat shyly. "I.. Don't think so. I've seen some people gamble before, and I've noticed that the same ones tend to win more often than the others. I prefer to earn my money slowly but steadily instead of losing it all in one go." Looking around the room, he relaxes a...

Indeed, it's not as if he had bought the book on Amazon! :lol:

I didn't say they wouldn't, I'm saying he's coming off like they would if that happened. Which is "in it for the money exclusively". I don't believe that that's how Mr Cook is, btw.

Pushing open the door of the tavern is Kadoch. Not overly tall, the young man just somehow appears.. Massive. Of course, the fact that he's clad in somewhat rare banded mail helps the impression. The shield, crossbow and hammer complete the image of the mercenary. Of course, his...

Perhaps, but he's sorta (not completely) coming off as Ferrari stopping the shipping of their cars to that one huge retailers that sells the cars for 40,000$, because they think a Ferrari shouldn't sell for less than 90,000$, regardless of the fact that they get the same 30,000$ per car sold.

Yeah well, don't come whining at me when Normand gets all the glory for capturing the donkey that was transporting all the WMDs. :)

Since we're not allowed to hijack the Ptolus thread anymore.. I just wanted you to know that just as I was somewhat more impetuous with Normand than I, myself, would have been before, his experience after the past incidents, I figure, would have changed the way he reacts to things, hence his...

Everybody always dumps on Normand, totally disregarding the fact that 1-He's the one holding the RPG, and 2-He has more HPs than anyone else.

Dude, reading the rest of my post would have explained the discrepancy, and clearly taken the onus off of you. God, I hate it when people quote only part of my post and then get uppity. [restraining self from saying more]

Aww crap. For about a second, Normand considers dropping a grenade in front of the mules, in an attempt to get them to turn back towards the group. Luckily, he quickly thinks better of that hare-brained plan. Pointing to the fell that wasn't holding the rains previously, he says, softly...
