[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5008662, member: 80487"] The 4e powers are just "meh" to me, but a lot of folks find them delightful. If I'm going to spend that kind of time and energy, then I would rather go for a more general system, such as 3e, GURPS, Hero System, or Basic Role Playing. Come to think of it, comicbook superheroes tend to do a lot more wacky stuff because, well, that's [I]what they do[/I]. It's a bird ... a plane ... no! It's -- Collateral Damage Man!* The swordsmen in adventure fiction? Not so much, I think. Of course, neither does fiction or film tend to spend so much time zooming in on things in slow-mo as some games do. I don't remember "surfer elf" from Tolkien, and could do without remembering him from Jackson (Doctor, my eyes). At any rate, a little of that goes a long way. Anything loses its funky fresh flavor on heavy rotation. (Drizzt! "Ouch." Drizzt! "Ouch. So, this is going to help me quit smoking, eh?") *What's up with the "It's a bird!" guy, anyway? Yeah, it's another pigeon. Thanks for raising the alarm. [/QUOTE]
