Message: <blockquote data-quote="MyISPHatesENWorld" data-source="post: 4203459" data-attributes="member: 65684">Going back to my first post, this character has been using a greatsword since 1st edition. It has nothing to do with something that is tied to a 3.5 mechanical concept. The mechanics of the game provide a "feel" for a character. Ignoring the mechanics takes away from the fun. Using mechanics you don't like also takes away from the fun.And, I don't see how 3.5 optimization tactics for sneak attack have anything to do with this thread. There are plenty of threads about that though, and several of them would disagree that using two-weapon fighting with a light weapon in combination with sneak attack and/or other additive damage sources is hopelessly gimping a character.The only obsessions in this thread (aside from having a character that has been played for over 25 years) is the people that can't get over the fact that I don't like the Hunter's Quarry ability, the people that can't stop talking about historical weapons facts and the people that can't stop talking about how all I want is to use a sneak attack with a greatsword when I've said that isn't the case - I've even posted a way that might make the character work via a link (to a post in your thread) without any of the rogue powers or abilities (including sneak attack) working with the greatsword that still fits into the character concept and makes the character have the mechanical feel I want it to. It has nothing to do with fluff or flavor text, it has to do with how the powers work mechanically. There might be one more obsession... metagame constructs, metagame constructs, metagame constructs, metagame constructs, metagame constructs, metagame construcs. That's six times in a three-sentence, one-paragraph post man. As I posted in your thread on what's wrong with people that don't like the way you think they should make their characters in 4e, if you really want to help people as opposed to insulting them because they don't like the same things that you do, look at helping them make the character they want to play, not the character you think they should play.</blockquote>
