And it's "Four-Color to Fantasy".

"Four-Color" is hyphenated.

And it isn't "Four-Colors".

And if you don't know why the title has anything to do with superheroes, ask some comic fans what four-color is. It's a sort of genre of comics, with a heroic, pulpy feel.

Hey, since you have the book, why not write a review? Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

I've been doing a lot of reviews lately, and I'll get around to this one soon. I'll add it to my to do list and it should be done by early next week.

And people always misuse the expression "begging the question."

Begging the question means assuming the answer at the outset, so that the answer is a foregone conclusion.

People often use it when they should say "raising the question" or "suggests the question."


And, of course, the class name is ROGUE not ROUGE .

By the way, RW, a buddy at WotC let slip something that concerns the future of Natural 20. Email me privately.

Thanks to the marvels of modern technology, I can cover up my embarrassment for falling for Zaru's Nat20 gag! Oh, drat, I let it slip.

Cheiromancer, could you give us an example of the proper use of begging the question. Because I've seen it used to mean, "raise the question" so often that it seems proper.

Yes, I know. Just pulling your leg. A spiteful retaliation for your misleading subject line.

Examples of Begging the Question

Bill: "God must exist."
Jill: "How do you know."
Bill: "Because the Bible says so."
Jill: "Why should I believe the Bible?"
Bill: "Because the Bible was written by God."

"If such actions were not illegal, then they would not be prohibited by the law."

"The belief in God is universal. After all, everyone believes in God."

Interviewer: "Your resume looks impressive but I need another reference."
Bill: "Jill can give me a good reference."
Interviewer: "Good. But how do I know that Jill is trustworthy?"
Bill: "Certainly. I can vouch for her."

 

[RangerWickett]

That doesn't sound right. That's just circular logic. You're sure that's begging the question? Because it has nothing to do with begging.
