This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Mr. GC;583222Come now Storm, I knew you were one of the useless posters from observing those earlier conflicts but could you at least attempt something that isn't trite and predictable?
Only from the point of view that defines 'success' as the people I was addressing stammering out poorly understood rules and utterly failing to present any solid arguments for their conclusions other than 'because spells'.  Particularly stupid in light of constantly failing to grasp even the basics of how spells and spellcasting works in 3.x, let alone any other version of D&D.

By that definition, they succeeded brilliantly.

Now, go pretend to be the young Turk out to make a name for himself elsewhere, please.  After the incursion and subsequent desertion by the Denners, it's just boring.

They were a lot closer to correct than the locals, therefore they won.

Deal with it.

That is unless you can prove me wrong both on the count of "Storm is a useless poster" and "the Den, while often wrong about advanced points still gets the basics right" and show me exactly how and where they fucked up on spells?

Quote from: JRR;593157No, but it is a game with rules.  If the results of the dice are not to be accepted, why bother rolling the dice.  So you can accept the good rolls and ignore the bad?  Yeah, let\'s give everyone a trophy.

Eventually you will realise you were a retard and sucked until you did.

Quote from: Mr. GC;583235Why is it regarded as acceptable that a class that does nothing but fight poorly exists?
Because you are completely wrong about this until you present something other than positive assertions, and sock-puppeting is a bannable offence around here.

1. Nobody fucking won in that thread.  Everyone was a loser.
2. You keep saying you aren't siding with the Denners but keep ignoring all of those posts where the people they argued with were actually posting passages out of books that showed how and why their interpretation of the rules was wrong.  So I don't buy it.
QuoteDeal with it.

Indeed.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Get real. Every board except this one has figured out Fighters suck, even the ones that tend to get everything else wrong.

You might as well have said there is no proof the sky is blue. And there's really nothing to say to that other than look at it.

I also noticed that I invited you to objectively prove your claims and you instead shifted gears and went at something else entirely. So you're done. Anyone else?
