:lol: Who used a statistic?

Certainly. It also helps the low price. Even Bullgrit qualified his "good sandwich" with "for a fast food place." I don't think anyone here is trying to say McDonald's is the best (even amongst fast food restauarnts). I don't eat there much anymore, mainly because the fries are addictive and I...

But McDonald's doesn't specialize in making burgers. They're specialization is getting food into your hands quickly and moving the line to serve as many people as they can. Actual restaurants that specialize in making burgers make them fresh so you have to wait. They don't rush you out the...

That's where the mistake is made. They are a fast-food joint with $1-5 burgers, not a burger joint. I agree with you regarding gourmet burger joints*, but those are typically $6-10 burgers. Very tasty burgers, but more than some are willing to spend regularly. *I highly recommend Bulldogs in...

In the US if someone ships you something unsolicited, you get to keep it. This was in response to "Music Clubs" that would send you ten albums you didn't ask for and then demand that you either return them in ashort time-frame or pay for them. Even the folks at Amazon mention that they hope in...

Absolutely true. It was all miss since that first premise pitch...:p

It's usually commercials that ruin songs for me. Going waaaaay back to Look What They've Done to My Song being turned into Look What They've Done to My Oatmeal right up to T-Mobile's current ruination of Forget You in their radio ads and many many more inbetween.

This got old for me long ago. It's very Gygaxian (or at least falsely attributed to him). This can lead to adversarial situations where the players feel the DM is trying to trick them, i.e. "DM: You never said you looked up!" This can lead to adversarial situations where the DM feels the...

That's tame. Apparently you've never met Carls Jr? Or Burger King? Their commercials might as well brag about all the heart problems their food will give you.

I've got my algebra book, why would I want a calculus book to teach me an advanced level math task?!

I'm sure you do know, but you do know they make more than D&D, right? That other product of their's is still making them money today. It's (probably) what put them in position to take D&D.

Depends on how you look at it. I see it not as "Six Saving Throws," but instead as "Saving Throws Replaced by Ability Checks." So, by my count, they slimmed down the number of checks by folding saves into six checks that already existed.

So, for the majority of us (some especially so based on their posting etiquette), we should just cap Charisma at 8? Do you feel the same way about any of the other stats? Should I roleplay my 20 Intelligence gray elf at the appropriate intelligence level? I gots me lotz more lernin's to do. :p

To each their own. I don't find them taking away certain creature types from the class' signature ability interesting at all. It reminds me of the complaints people have when high-level adventure writers take the "cheap way out" by creating a list of spells that auto-fail in the adventure setting.

So you've noted numerous ways that the designers made the rogue still viable (in 3E) in the Halls of the Zombie King, but if they decide to add another viable method by not limiting SA, that's not OK?

In the specific examples brought up in this thread, like SA, time was devoted to limiting a class' participation. By omitting any references to limits on the use of SA, you are lessening the time devoted to the design of the ability. And I would rather, in general, the designers devote time to...

It's only "spotlight sharing" if your DM shines the spotlight on the activities your character is good at. To me, balance enables easier adventure design for the DM. Not all of us have time for tailor-made adventures, so when we make the "Caverns of the Undead and Golems" combat-focused...

Grand Unified Plane Theory works for me, but only because of how I viewed past cosmolgies. Each, IMO, is a representation of how the people of the world picture these other planes/worlds. These infinite planes can't be mapped in the traditional sense, but to make rational sense of it each...

Nah, it's WotC. The multiple platforms they're referring to are the tables we play on and chairs we sit in. :devil:
