When he said "mask" in quotes I assumed he was talking about an affected persona to increase immersion  Also I don't know what the second one is and the third one isn't really a grognard offense, is it?

Besides, it's looking like our "martial controller" is going to be the monk, judging from the playtest. It's got a lot of effects that are very controllery, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Drunken Monkey in particular makes me laugh.

Imagine getting your taxes done by an accountant whose "office" is a booth at IHOP. I don't know, that sounds like a sweet deal. Free coffee in the office, no coworkers, and you could probably write off lots of pancakes as a business expense.

I just love the guy saying you have to PRETEND your character is a demon or PRETEND they have infernal pact. As if imagination is something we discourage in this hobby/game. You know, though, I would incredibly not mind an errata'd giant collection volume of all the PHB/MM/DMG when they're done putting them out. As in, a Complete Player's Handbook containing material from 1,2,3. It'd be a bit unwieldy but I would love to have it for a reference book.

That's an interesting question. If you mean in total number of sessions, not at all often. Heck, my characters don't get *captured* all that often. If you mean how many of my characters have ever been gangraped at any point, the percentage goes up. Of course, I often play characters living on the edge of society, doing dangerous things, taunting bad guys and wearing the closest thing to club clothes the setting allows. While I defend every woman's right to say no, under any circumstances, if that's how you face evil, evil is going to make you suffer if you get caught. It's worth noting men aren;t immune to this treatment in our games. I suspect we've had about as many male characters raped or castrated we've had female character gangraped. In some campaigns, it never comes up. But when we run high intensity games, it's a possibility. And I *used* to run the angry, raped woman scorned Red Sonja type character a lot, which makes it part of the background. In this case I shrugged it off because I wasn't invested in Limelight yet. It was her first session. And I liked the second idea better, so the GM went ahead and let me have her have been killed. But if you read Black Days of Kor Kammor over at the paizo messageboards, you'll see rape is an iongoing consequence of characters in our grittier games.  edit: I thought it might be cool to play a character that brings her enemies to sexual climax by proximity. Concious or otherwise. Try rapeing a girl who makes you climax when you come within two meters of her. hehe. Interesting times for her superteam though...

Lugubrious posted:I really want to know how people can use "it's not selling IT'S A FAILURE" as an argument when there's gobs of information that basically says it's selling like hotcakes. Wasn't MM2 on the NYT bestsellers list the week it came out? And that's a book that is mostly just for DMs. This is the danger of living off anecdotal evidence. Grognards travel in grognard circles and see nobody buying the game. They just assume that everyone is like them.

Bob Smith posted:Or perhaps you like every fight being just "I hit the monsters until dead, there is no risk except HP loss." Yes, yes we do. "Fighters/anyone melee sit this one out" is NOT a fun strategy just because it is "different". edit: level drain, old geezer, etc etc

Bob Smith posted:It doesn't to me, and it didn't to my group. We quite frankly got bored of just throwing dice at every problem. Having a monster that different characters shine against isn't going to single-handedly ruin your perfect balance if you have a balanced encounter. And then once the fighter is done engaging their special target meant for them, they still get to sit out if they finished first. It's just a bad gameplay decision, overall. Playing to the character's strengths is just not the same as "completely gently caress up melee characters". I mean, is there really a choice involved if you do that? Hm, will I hit the underling with my sword or will I hit the monster that will literally eat my sword, I wonder which is the better choice. No choice, no fun.

. Surprise, MMO child can't deal with actual combat where your gear is arbitrarily destroyed or levels drained. Don't be butthurt because 4e is literally a MMORPG with spawn points, not everyone can enjoy the depth of gameplay My Group routinely experiences. Continue your flailing though, I feed off of this.
