[QUOTE="StupidSmurf, post: 2576016, member: 35893"] I dunno, the more I see of 4E, the more it seems that the designers just aren't trying anymore. Having a pantheon of gods named "Steve", "Bob", and "Chuck"?? I mean, what's up with that! I am also not so comfortable with that new wand, the Wand of Destroying Pretty Much Anything I Don't Like, and that new spell "I Kill The Monster and Take Its Treasure". At first I thought the spell "Give Victim ADD" was something meant to conjure gaming materials to throw at your foe. Instead, it gives them Attention Deficit Disorder (e.g. "Grimzor smash you now...ooooh, Grimzor think this stonework is very very well done! Pretty!"). And changing the attribute names...Geez. Why? Strength = Buffitude Dexterity = Movez Con = Gutz Intelligence = Brainz Wisdom = Savvy Charisma = Smoothness Comeliness = Hawtness Are half of these terms even real words????? On the upside, I'll admit that I like the hardwired rules governing players bribing the DM with food. The chart outlining the different types of food and drink and assigning each one a bribe value is great. And having the Bribe Value measured in Suck Up Points (SUP) is great. Sample Chart Item Bribe Value Broccoli..........................1 SUP* Tofu..............................1 SUP* Light Beer.......................1 SUP* Chips.............................2 SUP Regular Beer....................3 SUP Extra Slice of Pizza...........5 SUP Lindt Chocolate Truffles...10 SUP Situational Modifiers: X2 if the DM is really really hungry X3 if bribe presented by member of opposite gender X4 if bribe is presented by member of opposite gender, and who in addition is attractive * this SUP is x10 if the DM is on a diet [/QUOTE]
