[QUOTE="Krieg, post: 1569797, member: 5282"] Your point is completely valid. :) Of course we don't game in black and white, like most gamers the vast majority of our visualization takes place entirely within our imagination. The black and white reference was merely to illustrate the ludicrousness of attacking a product for assigning an improper hue to the term purple, when NO specific hue is specified. The term purple is merely used in a generic fashion to represent a symbolic reference. If a DM describes an encounter with a "purple" knight, the players are going to use their own knoweledge base to visualize said knight's appearance. The important thing is that the understand the symbolic meaning of the term. They are going to use their own knoweledge base to assign a mental "color" to the scene. If the DM goes out of his way to go off on a tangent describing how what they (the players) think is purple isn't really purple, they are most likely just going to roll their eyes and visualize it any damn way they please. Not to mention the fact that one of my players is color-blind and wouldn't be able to tell the two shades apart anyways! Of course let's not forget that the product in question is in no way a historical game (even a semi/quasi or pseudo one) it is an entirely mythological one. ;) Well now I just feel cheated! Where is the Speckled Knight prestige class?!?! Probably holding it back for some expanion pack money grab. Sheesh! :p :lol: [/QUOTE]
