[QUOTE="ConcreteBuddha, post: 215921, member: 3139"] Black Omega, hong, Limper---- Next time I'll put this disclaimer on my post to avoid confusion: [B] DISCLAIMER: This is my opinion and it can't be right or wrong because it is a matter of personal taste that I do not mean to apply to everyone else's matters of personal taste. You can think whatever you want and it is not wrong. [/B] [B] [/B] See disclaimer. [B] [/B] I'm going to assume that you did not mean this as an insult. Please clarify. [B] [/B] Yup. Boring. Neat as a one shot campaign, kinda like Paranoia, but long term CoC characters or plots are not fun for me. [B] [/B] But they have everything to do with limiting options. I'd rather play a world with [B] more [/B] options than less. [B] [/B] They are great worlds, but they are ineffective at keeping my interest because the options are fewer than other settings. [B] [/B] I disagree entirely with this. You are making it sound as if anybody who is choosing a demihuman is doing so because of laziness. Bull pucky. And I disagree entirely that humans do not have a concept. It's called "humans are versatile". You can play a human with no background just as easily as playing an elf with no background. Elf: "I'm from the forest." Human: "I'm from the forest." Done. [B] [/B] Powers predefined, yes. Personalities, no. [B] [/B] So you are saying that humans do not have a stereotype? What about human versatility as a stereotype? [B] [/B] Or you see neither stereotype and play whatever the heck you want. [B] [/B] Bull pucky. You're thinking in 2ED terms. Humans have some neat abilities now. Extra skill points, an extra feat and any favored class are kinda neat. [B] [/B] See disclaimer. [/QUOTE]
