[QUOTE="John Quixote, post: 723398, member: 694"] Let's see -- Munchkin is annoying, Twink is still good (hasn't been used enough yet). Rollplayer is obnoxious, yet Diceless Nazi isn't (apparently, making fun of hack-n-slashers is socially acceptable, but nobody has the brass ones to claim that the 733t High Roleplayers have it just as wrong). Cruchy Bits and Fluff are meaningless phrases to describe what rulemongers like to see in a rulebook, but the rest of us still rely on. Broken means "something I as a pansy-arsed DM let get out of hand in my own campaign," while "game balance" is a mythical concept with less physical substance than, say, elves and drows, and SPEAKING OF WHICH, I'm tired of: -Drizzt clones. Not that I've ever seen any. -People who knock Drizzt clones. You've never seen any either. And you're not clever. -People who think rangers fight with two weapons becase of Drizzt and/or drows. It's not true, get over it, the 2e playtest rules predated [i]The Crystal Shard.[/i] -People who use drow as a plural, like deer. This includes most D&D game designers and novel authors. Learn fuggin' english, they're drows. -People who knock rangers at all, for any reason. Read the signature. -People who claim that the following spells are broken: haste, polymorph, gate, wish, harm. No they aren't; play by the rules. -People who don't like bards because they're "weak." No they aren't; see previous answer. -Those brilliant in-duh-viduals who can't wrap their brains around a fighter that's as useful to a high-level party as a wizard or cleric. See previous two answers. -People who don't like alignment. -People who don't understand alignment. Lawful != law-abiding, and chaotic != anarchist. All this and more. [/QUOTE]
