[QUOTE="Fisk, post: 30358, member: 2410"] So according to some of you "wise ones" this board is to regurgitate what is already in the rule books and could be found and figured out by anyone? Well you do quite a service spoon feeding the inept who either don't have the mental capacity or reading comprehension skills to gather and process the material that is laid before them. They are your bread and butter. Without their questions who would you have to point out the obvious to and stroke your egos? Heaven for bid if you were to "flame" them for their weak research ability. Instead you focus on misspelled words. And I am sure that those other "wise ones" at WOTC thoroughly play tested everything and that everything was in perfect order before they published their product. I am sure their desire to bring their product to market had no impact on how thorough they were play tested. I missed the part in the description of this board where it said the rules couldn't and shouldn't be challenged. From MeanGenes "Rogues have a BAB that is only 3/4 that of the fighter, and will only end up hitting about 3/4 as often. " Do Rogues still only hit 3/4 as much when they have added their bonuses from a flanked position and the creature is denied his Dex modifier (if they have one)? And to MMU1. You are truly a piece of work. Here you have the opportunity make a stand and say, "ya I've got a little cartoon guy under my name. I like it. Who cares if you don't like it or what you think." But instead you make some lame comment about me trying to impress people and end your post by groveling that my remarks cut you. Windows to take a stand even if it is for your "cartoon" don't come to often and its too bad you didn't rise to the occasion. To the rest of you if you have nothing to add except what the book says, then copy down what the rules say and move on. What more could you possibly add? Are you going to quote the book again? That’s helpful. [/QUOTE]
