[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 4022508, member: 198"] If I'm reading accurately (please correct me if I'm wrong, FreeTheSlaves), FreeTheSlaves created his character with full intention and knowledge that the character would be a hero. DestroyYouAlot's post claimed that D&D must have uncertainty about whether the PC concerned will be a hero or not. I see a significant conflict between the two. I do not, however, see anything in DestroyYouAlot's post that implies a high kill ratio. Though admittedly his poster name does :) Again, I beg to differ. I don't think the fact that he's essentially talking purely about his tastes is at all implicit in DestroyYouAlot's post. When a post says that other people's observations about the game are "patently untrue, and misses the point," it reads to me as if someone is making a 'this is what the game is and you're wrong if you don't see it' comment. *Beaten to it! FEEEEEENNNNNEEEES!* [/QUOTE]
