You were deceived by the oldestpowergamer's DM-trap.See, we powergamers work at a deeper level. We want to play powerfulcombat machines, so we add numbers. AFTER we have a veritable monstercreated, we then make a game rationale for such behemot. Mostnon-powergaming DMs think we're using "roleplaying" arguments whenwe're in fact adapting the character story around a killer concept.For a real example, I bet that our group wasn't the only one who saw amisterious disappearance of two longsword wielding elves in theAD&D->3E transition.Pfft, some people never understand D&D - it's all about the damage.@ @ Nockermen5ch, or about DC.=== END REPOST ===</blockquote>
