[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4508374, member: 70778"] Not sure how many characters per post you get, so since this is big I risked to err on the side of caution. Condense these two posts if they are back-to-back and need to be/can be. Yes. Either form the DM or other players when they become annoying or disruptive. Harbinger or Underdark? One of those DDM sets if not the Chainmail or Pewter/lead/Raladium variants are clearly visible yes. Ever pissed a female gamer off? You don't have to see the energy to know and feel the heat and burning aimed in your direction. We love slap-schtick! I feel the same way. There are plenty of useless component in the game that are not needed other than that provided you have a decent DM and players. I would figure he went to school and had parents. Maybe read a book? Don't have pets or kids, eh? In this day and age it is even all the more true than ever. ;) Wouldn't they have made sense if the context of my previous posts were read rather than twisted? Even better would have been to use proper grammar in the books so as not to confuse the reader [player] with the character? Do the characters roll dice? Do the characters throw something when they are about to die? The players of some games may throw a fit, but the character does what? I would suggest to proper word the phrase instead for the reader as per technical writing guidelines suggest. This properly addresses the reader with the proper context. It does not use the word "you" or instances of its other forms in different ways in the same sentence. When you make a substitution of another word, you should maintain the same substitution through your sentence rather than changing the words meaning midway through it. "Your" indicates something belonging to the player now in both instances in the sentence, while before the variations of "you" was referring back and forth between the player and the character. [I]After all of this are you still really trying to dispute that you need only roll the proper skill checks to pass a skill challenge?[/I] [/QUOTE]
