None of those balancing things really matter that much since true neutral in 3.x D&D is at least less absurd, if still screwy in other ways.http://www.d20srd.org/srd/description.htm posted:Neutral, "Undecided"

Nuns with Guns posted:Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. All I know is my heart says maybe.

If there is an Empire of Blood, and an Empire of Tears, I can only imagine that there is a nearby Empire of Sweat.

The dragons are, of course, to serve as Taquin's invasion force when The Empire of Tears are dealt with. It's the only way to milk dramatic flare from the situation. On the other hand, this is Burlew so that makes any prediction automatically bunk.

DoctorTristan posted:Retarded use of polymorph? In my 3.5ed? Never! My only experience with actually posting on the WOTC forums for D&D was in 3.5 I asked for advice in making a wizard really good at using polymorph to turn enemies into chickens, and was ruthlessly called a retarded 10-year-old in leet speak. I learned my lesson.

You see, what you do is use Baleful Polymorph to turn the enemies into chickens. Then you polymorph yourself into a hyrda and eat them... then eat your party because they're holding you back. Gate in a few challenge rating 23 angels to back you up instead. Nuns with Guns fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Aug 16, 2010 |

Red_Mage posted:wizards.txt Yeah pretty much. Next to 3.5 rules, it would look like the villain in Unbreakable had bones made from Adamantium. (I still play 3.5 because it's fun when you don't bend the game over a pinball machine.)

Strudel Man posted:That's not really as bad as you're making it sound. It's talking about a broader conflict than just one battle; the idea of someone fighting a group that's marauding against nearby settlements, but then defending it if the last of them are literally about to be exterminated, isn't exactly absurd. It's absurd when you're playing a cooperative game and your bullshit philosophy very likely makes you counter-productive and a source of unnecessary conflict. Some players can pull it off, granted, but most of the time it just ends up causing problems.

Apparently you didn't get the message but D&D is not a simple "game" as you put it but a vehicle for unique dramas to unfold why let me tell you about the time my chaotic good bisexual female half elf half teifling character tried to proposition another player's lawful good paladin for sex. Oh the conflict that ensued! Who knew that someone who always plays lawful good paladins was a devout Christan? The rest of the game session had his character trying to turn my atheist bisexual female to Jesus. The other players got so riled up they never came back to the game. I guess they couldn't hang with us real roleplayers.

Some players can pull it off, granted, but most of the time it just ends up causing problems. The alignment system is terrible and always has been and there is very little to redeem it, but at least equal blame rests with the players and group. Obviously if you have a bunch of lawful (or whatever) characters and one TN guy its going to cause a bunch of problems, but that just means you were stupid for picking TN and your DM was stupid for letting you - there's no reason the whole group can't pick varying shades of Neutral if they want to and not have huge alignment rifts.

The mistake a lot of players make is using alignment to define how they act, rather than simply playing and have how they act define their alignment. Admittedly, this distinction fails when spells like Detect Evil are capable of registering someone's alignment as a tangible malevolence.

Or, as one DM described it to a Paladin after he scanned my guy, "a glowing black cancerous malignant tumor that wants to infect the world". That was a good day.

I think its a facet of the game system rather than a mistake. After all you have to choose clearly defined alignments which can be detected by in-game mechanics. Choose first, act second. That's the DnD way.

Clerics are the same way. You have to uphold whatever your god stands for or you lose all your nifty reality-bending abilities, and are stuck as a crappy fighter. Druids, too I suppose, they have to maintain the balance of nature, whatever the gently caress that means. For every humanoid life they save, they gotta plant a tree?

Paladins alone have mechanics for being stripped not only of their class powers but of their class itself.
