You're certainly not alone in trying to misrepresent other posters. Despite you pouncing on any opportunity to 'win points' around here, you're surely aware that statement was in reference to the way the meanings of words change over time. Forgive me if I offended your delicate sensibilities...

And I suppose next you'll be telling us 'gay' still just means 'happy'?

Except we're discussing a game, played by people. Therefore the most important endstate should be the participants' enjoyment of the game, which we can take as read, given the constant stream of qualifiers attached to nearly every post around here - "not that I'm telling anyone else how to play...

So true. If the DM has to retcon the hows or the whys of an essential story element in reaction to the PCs' actions it is not a railroad. The DM's first responsibility is to make the game fun. Quite often this means he has to facilitate cool things happening. Forcing the PCs to make certain...

Well why don't you, instead of misrepresenting him?

Where I come from, explaining something to somebody that he should already know is the height of disrespect. It's called 'condescension'. The implication being that I'm unaware that correlation does not equal causation and I'm sure you can understand why I took The Shaman's post as...

Congratulations for completely missing the point. We've already covered the Fisher Price My-First-Law-Of-Logic. While correlation does not imply causation, as we all seem to agree, some of you are missing the fact that the effect of the correlation itself must have a cause. This correlation...

That's exactly what it means. If there's a correlation (and I believe we agree that whether or not there is a correlation is a matter of opinion) then the two by necessity go hand in hand. I would argue that attempting to establish the two as unrelated is the real problem here. I am in no...

As a former champion of dark-and-gritty play I am convinced there is a correlation between this type of setting and poor GMing. Your qualifier "But if so" ruins an otherwise logical statement. I understand your belief that a poor dark and gritty game is due to poor GMing, rather than the...

You're confusing character with personality. Rookie mistake.

I've spent a lot of my life in team environments (who hasn't right?), particularly in team sports and especially my time as a soldier, so I've seen a lot of wannabe leaders both good and bad. In my experience, leadership has little to do with charisma. Charisma, imo, is most useful when...

Only on special occasions though, right PC?

Ah Ok. In that case I like Battlefield Archer (p.113).

Stormwarden. (Player's Handbook p.115)

I kill things and take their stuff. Or at least, the government does.

When is the Releasegorgon coming out?

Honestly mate, I don't think there's any real difference between your two definitions. We can analyse anything and break it down to the point where it no longer resembles anything else, but this means it will also no longer resemble reality, which defeats the purpose of the analysis in the...

I like it. Gruumsh.. the god of destruction, slaughter and love.

But seriously, all thematic restrictions are arbitrary. It's called 'poetic licence'. I agree that the existence of a deity allowing both domains in a different official setting indicates that there are no balance issues with the choice of domains you want for your character but I don't think...

I'm just bitter Melbourne won the NRL premiership.
