[QUOTE="DungeonMaester, post: 3368080, member: 44384"] Quoted for truth. I read alot more then I watch TV or movies. From Ray to Edgar, William to Homer, Books have far more inflused my design then anything on the tube. True. Much like you would hire a clown for a 6 year old's birthday party and not a 21st. [qoute]You know that image of Superman atop the logo of the Daily Planet with his cape stretched out behind him? That image of Batman lurking in the high shadows of Gotham? Posing! It comes right out of comic books, and it's surely something I try to do in my evocative D&D descriptions. An acrobatic dance out of the path of a fireball, or a triumphant deciding slash with your sword...that moment of awe-inspiring coolness. :)[/quote] Also true, but personaly I think the Kung Fu pose is far more over doe then the super hero pose. I dissagree. In anime all you do is call out the name of the spell or attack you are doing. In D&D you have a long dragonic speach to say for casting. In real martial arts, no attack <Ive been taught or have even heard of> had a goofy name like Legendary Dragon punch, nor do you call it out when attacking. In a real fight, you might as well tell your enemy what you are doing before you do it. "Stand there while I round house you in the face." To jump back to spell casing, A Fighter or Monk may not know what the incantaion for fireball is, as where in anime you have to be dumb not to caught what you where just hit with. I dissagree once more. The hobbits are by know means powerful comapred to the dwarf, the wizard of the ranger, but there by no means comapre to naurto. While not the stongest, they can fight well enough to defend any chalange that came to the party. On the other hand, Naurto is as represented correctly. ---Rusty [/QUOTE]
