Diplomatic Immunity OOC: The Third

[unleashed]

Well duh. That's why I said I never use that rule To quote me:

And I only mentioned Rule 0, because you said, to quote you:

Unfortunately, the PH states that all creatures with Int above 2 automatically speak Common, even Celestial Ants. It is stupid in the extreme, and basically just makes every other language an exercise in the being speaking it wanting to use its native tongue as a code to stop people from speaking it, since it could have just used Common.

Bah, you'll never win in a rules forum style debate You're taking the quote out of context. The section you quoted was used by me to demonstrate how ridiculous the PH rules were and why it was stupid not to Rule 0 them

No I can't win a rules forum style debate, because people are usually so set with their interpretation they won't see another point of view, but that's another subject completely.

As for the quote, it's not out of context, as it was posted in reply to my original comments, in which I included a Rule 0 change for languages spoken at the end.

You'll also note that several races don't have common listed as a base language (some from non-WOTC supliments, but still), such as the Pterrans. Common was basicly to avoid the potential issues of a language complication (I've been in parties where it was almost impossable to talk to other players due to language, and it was a pain).

I thought that was how most people debated rules, by quoting out of context and not understanding the implied or directed meaning?

I wasn't debating rules though, just offering an opinion.

Good to see my PC started such an interesting, healthy debate - now just to finish him/her/it

 

[D20Dazza]

Shock, horror, more work done on my PC here, almost everything but HPs, equipment, languages and the background etc done - I think. I'll need some assistance from you, Rystil, to complete some of that.

Cheers

Well, I can help with a bit, too . . . hit points are max at 1st and rolled random on invisible castle, with no less than 1/2 the die being the minimum for the roll. For example a d12 would be a minimum of 6 hit points.
