[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 951262, member: 3570"] Thank God you didn't write The Hobbit then. An ancient dragon who believes himself to be literally invulnerable to any kind of mortal attack is going to degrade himself by spending two feats to learn something he believes he will never, ever use because of METAGAME knowledge by the DM? Oh well, I guess I just don't think its the job of the 3.5 rules to prevent you from telling a stupid story. I know that sounds harsh, but I'm noticing more and more criticisms against the revisions are because certain people are able to implement them stupidly into their campaigns. Good for you guys. There's also nothing in the rules to prevent all your Fighters from wearing blue lipstick and surrendering to 2nd level Rogues. Lord knows I can't go more than a session or two without 20 first level Monks attacking a militia of crossbowmen. Those common occurances used to be such nailbiting experiences. Now the Monks will kick their asses! Well, assuming they've all devoted almost all the energy in their young lives to learning how to deflect arrows. And people [i]really[/i] need to stop misusing the word verisimilitude. A 2nd level Paladin being immune (no saving throw, nothing) to the Fear spells from a 135th level Archwizard is kosher but a 2nd level Monk being immune to [i]one[/i] attack (that he's aware of) from a high level super-archer breaks [i]verisimilitude[/i]?!?!?!? Cue Dr. Evil voice: Riiiiiight. [/QUOTE]
