What 3e (& 3.5e) terms are you sick of?

[Berk]

Unfortunetly, "PK" did not come over in a positive light and destroyed my interest in EQ.

That's why ya play on a non PvP server. =o)
There are too many a-holes that play on PvP servers anyway.

"Hey, I'm 65th level, let's kill newbies because I can and it's fun!!!"

Gah, I hate people like that and there are a ton of em. Just play on non PvP servers and problem solved. You can still do PvP through the duel command if both people want to.

Sick of two weapons fighting

Im sick of disscussing/explaining the two weapon feats, and i read that these are to be redone in the new edition.

another thing is the way they handle specialist magic, you are banned from (x) school(s). of magic for the paltry reward of a bounus spell and a +2 spellcraft check, well in the tome and blood supplement you can buy a bonus spell slot with a feat!
I have my own way of running specialists anyone interested email me RE:specialist magic rules issacjr@yahoo.com

Issac, still not buying 3.5

You misunderstand me. I love pk's, but I wanted a system that would control it. It has to be a complex pk range controlled by xp ranges(so a slightly lower level troll would be in the range of a slightly higher level human to make up for the difference in racial power).

Secondly-there has to be a cost for dying (like lost of eventual con) - so people don't kamikazee over and over. Eventually it would lead to permanent deaths.

I know, EQ is a pay game, so perm kills is frowned upon in theory, but it has destroyed the time of the game. There are no generations of characters- there is no internal history developing.

Oh well- this is going way OT.

But, I have never had a rush in a game like I did in the pk muds- when I would have a char I spent many hours in risking everything against someone who had done the same.

Wow, what an anal-retentive lot.

You people need more fiber in your diet.

You people need more fiber in your diet.

I thought a recent study of the week said that too much fiber was bad for you.

And if we weren't like this.. then we would not be gamers?

I have read rumors they will be like they are in d20 modern. Ambi and TWF are combined into one feat.

I have my own way of running specialists

Post them in the House Rules forum- I (and probably others) would like to see them.

I agree the specialization rules are a bit dull. It would be nice to see an alternative.

One word: "Official"

As in, "Kalamar is an Official D&D setting" or "Dragon is a publisher of Official material."

Why?

It seems to imply "better." And IMO, a lot of the "unofficial" stuff outdoes the "official" by leaps and bounds. In fact, I'm starting to read "offical" as "poorly written."

==========

The other phrase I'd like to see stricken comes from WotC books...

"This product contains no Open Game Content." Mostly because WotC makes a huge deal about how great the OGL is... okay, if it's so great, why aren't you playing by the same rules as everyone else? (Yes, I know, "because it's their copyrighted stuff" but as a matter of principle I'd like to see them be on a level playing field with others with regards to restrictions on their content). Yes, I know it will never happen.

3e ranger, since it doen't exist. I don't know or care who is responsible for the dual-wielding spellcasting ranger, but I wish they would change it...

 

[Sejs]

not a term, but something that bugs me:

People who blame Everquest, or really any computer frpg for their gaming woes. You people know who you are, and yeah, I'm talkin' to you.

Examples:
~Buffs. Yep, term was around for a long time before EQ. If you dislike it so much, then please, feel free to suggest an alternative short, concise term for personal-enhancement type spells.

~Stack. See "Buffs" above.

~Fight-And-Rest. Not a computer-gaming concept, despite how much people attribute it as such. Was around long before electronic gaming was popular.
