But that's Olde Skho0oL!

Yeah, it didn't make much sense then either. :keke: ((or was that actually in core before, my memory is fuzzy on that))

Make that 3 Kinds of Elves. Half-Elves are in.

Quote from: BASHMANAnd then he can swim laps in his olympic sized swimming pool full of WotC Kool-Aid!

Cool. But, hey, were are you getting the idea that "They were not "collectable parts of a set" the way that 4E is going to be-- that is with pieces INTENTIONALLY missing that people will have to buy other crap just to get"?

I haven't been following 4e news closely, so maybe WotC has said the above, but at this point, I think you're full of crap. Particularly given some of your recent posts.

Quote from: Consonant DudeWhat exactly is your beef?

We all have to gather together in hate. Or, apparently, fall into the Kool-Aid.

Quote from: StuartWhy do they have 2 elves now? If they're going to get rid of classics to make room for something new, then why not make it new like Cactus people or something. 2 elves makes no sense.

Yeah, what the fuck was that Tolkien fag thinking?

First they came for the Gnomes
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Gnome.
Then they came for the Bards
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Bard.
Then they came for the Half-Orcs
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Half-Orc.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

They are getting rid of all these interlopers, going real Old3 SKho0oL.

P.S. The Gnomes are in the 4e core books, in their rightful place. Right after Gnolls.

No gnomes or druids but now there's dragony dudes and demon-head guys...

Can we get rid of humans and replace them with something more juvenile too? Something big and ugly with cool powers maybe?

I didn't know what that noisy thing in the bathwater was so I just threw it out too...

The really wacky thing is that Tieflings generally aren't suppose to look like the goatheaded thing on the original cover. Their infernal ancestry is suppose to be barely noticable. But that textual description nearly invariably gets tossed out when a request for a Tiefling hits the Artistic Direction department. :confused:

I hear there are going to be three sub-races of human.

The first one has amazing agility, a danger sense, and can shoot sticky web-like objects out of their arms.

The second one has bad haircuts, a lot of body hair, a super-tough skeleton, and have retractable claws.

The third type are both martial arts experts as well as having all kinds of gadgets they can build. They also get a killer stealth bonus and a hidden cave lair.
