The two aren't mutually exclusive. It's just like combat. You're not wordlessly rolling a d20 in combat. You state where you go and what you do. Then you roll the d20 to resolve it, and the result is announced and usually "acted out". If you're smart, you can get some bonus out of it, like when...

Dunno. Been speaking with fundamentalists lately? Do you feel guilty for having fun? If so, you've probably been brainwashed by the D&D Amish. ;)

Yeah. Just like the half-elf, except that they get darkvision 60' instead of low-light vision

Well, at first we decided not to tell you, but what the hell: A couple of the more regular posters, and some of the mods, got together and created a task force: Whenever someone got all whiny about it and ranted how their dog was run over by their girlfriend who was just leaving them, all...

Of course. Ever since they raised the elec tariff again, all the machines here are running on mortal souls. You get a good mileage out of them! :p

If I want to play a game where everything is rolled, I might as well play yahtzee. If I had to tell someone about D&D and what sets apart D&D from other RPGs, rolling for HP and Ability Scores would not come up. Good for them. That doesn't mean that everyone wants to do that, though. They...

No. But all characters and npc's need not be created randomly. No other mechanical part of character creation (except maybe starting money, which quickly becomes irrelevant) is random. You don't roll your race, or class. Many people prefer to be able to decide everything about their character...

No amount of watery american beer can wash the Canadianism from your body!

That's because a lot of people, while larger than gnomes, are not as sexy as them. They hate gnomes because the gnomish casanunders get all the hot human and elf chicks and all that's left to them is orc chicks (why do you think there are so many half-orcs around?)!

For the love of Asmodeus the newly ascended, give us some time to properly edit those tapes. You can preorder them on Amazon.com already, though!

Nah. Humans will get heaps of their own racial tricks: - Be racist towards every other race, because they're all different. - Go to wore with itself more than all other races combined - Develop 200 different languages to let Babel look like a walk in the park. - Mate with whatever they find -...

Probably because you'll have to look it up for its effects, anyway. You know, for the off-chance that you won't just sell it. :p And frankly, the stuff you don't have to look up for its effects (+1 sword, +3 res cloak), you won't have to look up for price, either (2300 + weapon, which is...

I don't think that wizards will have too many /day spells or too many /encounter or /will spells, since it was said that classes, after blasting away all their /day stuff, are at about 80% efficiency. I think the difference will be more in type of spells: Wizards, being controllers, will have a...

Well, bully for you! I love something like that. When they blow a save against a fireball, I can say: "Did you include the +2 raci... uh, nevermind that, you didn't make that save" and make them believe that they've just saved against a shadow evocation and jump run right through the...

It is also incorrect. Those races are required for the enjoyment of the game for those fans. And I won't even mention that a gnomes punch has the weight of 30 years of D&D behind them. Damn, did mention it after all. Don't use them. Better than saying "I don't like them so you can't play with...

Okay, but only LG human divine knight types get to call themselves paladins. The rest still must call themselves divine knight or divine champion, or whatever the class is officially called. Only if you're LG and human you may call yourself paladin. I mean, if we play grognard, we may as well...

If the player can't be led to be better players and not always play into racial stereotypes, why should I accomodate him by limiting my choices so he doesn't have to play a stereotype? Besides, if I ban drow, he'll only play a rude dwarf, stupid orc, arrogant elf or kleptomanic halfling. If...

Why should it change things, especially for the worse? Sure, there will be people talking about 3e and people talking about 4e, but I doubt that anyone would abandon the place here. No matter what edition, you can have a decent discussion about D&D here. It's not that no older editions players...

No one complained when they ceased to be human only. And historical paladins were all human. :p I don't think that paladin has to refer to LG champions of a divine cause. Why would other churches have no such champions?

As I just wrote, in another thread, classes seem to be a combination of role and power source. If they introduce new power sources, they can do 4 core classes for that power source. And since we will only have 8 classes in the PHB, they can do 4 more for the first 3 power sources (arcane...
