[strike]When you really optimize[/strike] When you play D&D, the game becomes like Shadowrun... combat is so lethal and enemies are so dangerous that you either fight from an ambush position (where you're gaurenteed victory) or you avoid fighting entirely. Running in headlong will just get you killed by a [strike]pouncing ubercharger[/strike] any routine encounter. [strike]Scouting[/strike] Divination becomes critical, stealth magic becomes important, even using decoys is a big deal... you start doing things like having the Factotum keep everyone in an enveloping pit with a bottle of air (if they even needed to breathe) while he travels down the road looking like a pauper or sneaks along hidden, just to avoid major ambushes.It's fun, but it's not for everyone. And it actually ends up feeling more tense and more realistic. You don't go into battle without a plan for victory and a plan to escape.JaronK
There is no greater contribution than Hi Welcome.
Huge amounts of people are fuckwits. That doesn't mean that fuckwit is a valid lifestyle.
Sunic may be more abrasive than sandpaper coated in chainsaws (not that its a bad thing, he really does know what he's talking about), but just posting in this thread without warning and telling him he's an asshole which, if you knew his past experiences on WotC and Paizo is flat-out uncalled for. Never mind the insults (which are clearly 4Chan-level childish). You say people like Sunic are the bane of the internet? Try looking at your own post and telling me you are better than him.Here's a fun fact: You aren't. By a few leagues.
