Fighters screwed, wizards overpowered in 3.5!

And now the stupid paladin will be able to actually come into the dungeon rather than guard his stupid horse. Now he gets to be all championy.

Where did you hear this?

ROFLMAO.

Good one, OFB!

You forgot the "WoTC is ruining all enjoyment I ever got out of this hobby and I've been playing for 30 years and now I might as well just call it quits because those moneygrubbing corporate suits are trying to turn the game into D&D: The Gathering and everyone on the message boards is going along with their little plan because they're a bunch of sycophantic fanboys and I'm never going to post on here again because you all suck" part.

Half-orcs got the shaft!

Supposedly, sorcerers and bards will be able to swap out unwanted spells at every even-numbered level increase.

Cool. That's a sweet change if it's for real. Anyone know where this particular tidbit came from?

 

[Brown Jenkin]

Very Funny.

Unfortunately I realy do feel that there is an ever growing hostility towards those of us who realy feel that the changes being made are not to our liking. I feel that this thread only reinforces this feeling. While I enjoy humor to lighten the mood and release tension if done in an enviornment that already feels hostile this thread can reinforces the feeling alternate views are no longer welcome around here.

Maybe.

Speaking only for myself, I've heard enough chicken-little negativity re: 3.5 to last a lifetime.

You don't like the way WotC is handling the line? Cool.

You want to discuss the changes? Great.

But thread after thread about how people are being ripped off, how the game is being ruined, ad nauseum? Sorry, but I'm gonna tune that noise out.

Not to mention the subtext that those of us not outraged must be either mind-numbed consumer robots or willful dupes of the Man.

I don't know if hostility is the right word...but I'm getting kind of impatient with the whining.

LOL, funny post.

As for sorcerer's swapping out spells, I've been allowing this for a while. Basically when a sorcerer or bard gains a level I allow them to swap out a single spell for another of the same level or lower (since they can learn lower level spells with higher level slots). If WotC makes this every even level, then that's fine too. But I think it's wrong to allow them to take any and all spells at once they don't want and swap them out. I think it should be limited to a single spell.

Does this mean that any negativity is chicken little negativity. Many of these threads have started and have posters who have reasonable arguments against aspects of 3.5. Yes there are extremists on the anti-3.5 side, but so are there also on the pro-3.5 side. So while you may be impatiant with the whining, I am getting impatiant with the polyanna attitude about 3.5.

(And what, better familiar bonuses - more needless mage-boosting).

Has this been confirmed? If so, it may be another part of 3.5 that I'll adopt into my games.

Personally, there will probably be things about 3.5 I like, and things I dislike. I'm currently of the opinion that there will be more things I dislike (mainly the spell rewrites. I think they were fine as they were,) than things I like. But that won't stop me from stealing the ideas I think are good.
