Killing things or taking their stuff?

[Particle_Man]

Which is more important? Killing things, or taking their stuff?

Personally, I go for killing things. Taking their stuff has instrumental value, as it will improve my characters chances of killing more things later, but killing things is the big payoff. So I guess killing things has instrinsic value, and if there was no stuff to take I wouldn't be that put out as long as there were other ways to improve my chances of killing bigger, badder things later.

I saty killing things, but I mean task resolution. the taking the stuff is reaping the reward, but I don't always need the reward.

In all things, seek balance, Grasshopper.

I see each as an integral part of the other.

Totally taking their stuff.

Why? Because you kill things to take their stuff, but then you gotta go find new things to kill with more stuff to take.

The thing you don't kill whose stuff you take lives to get more stuff for you to take.

I mean, really: if you're a fighter in DnD, where's the real power? Having killing things or having taken stuff?

So dey.

I only kill things when I want more stuff - if I can get the stuff without the killing, that's even better.

Gimme more stuff!

Levels! I want levels! Levels, and feats, and skills, oh my!

A lot of our campaigns have distant goals of great import, and a lot of things to kill to reach them.

And most of those things offer very little stuff.

So it's the killing of things, not the taking of stuff.

mostly, that is.

Personally I enjoy roleplaying with "things"

THEN killing them...

THEN taking thier stuff....

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I need more 'stuff', more gaming books, DVDs and sketchbooks!

The chicken.

Stuff is only good because it makes you better at killing more things.
