/Signed.Kuro, we should just like, optimize or way to the US >_> nothing fun happens around here. Besides, I'm sure they would love the company of 2 random SA people showing up with alcohol, snacks, and more alcohol. <3 Absinthe being legal here.

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.
I don't believe this crap. Link to the article?
Inverted, averted, subverted, and employed straight in Dungeons and Dragons. Armor is the easiest way to get higher Armor Class, but it tops out at a certain point, and using the really heavy armor comes with drawbacks - including limitations on how much AC you can get from Dexterity (which, admittedly, doesn't matter if you happen to have low Dexterity to begin with). Meanwhile, certain characters can't use abilities except in certain kinds of armor (usually medium or light), and some characters can't wear armor at all without losing abilities. Everyone will also eventually find better alternatives to heavy armor, going down to the mithril breastplate, then the mithril chain shirt, then Bracers of Armor while still maintaining the same or better protection. * However, towards the end of 3.5 Edition the more common cry was "AC is useless", exemplifying this trope since no matter what the outrageous AC your character had, the basic MM creatures had attack bonuses high enough to hit you most of the time. (There were a number of exploits in 3rd edition that allowed you to get your AC over 100, making it difficult for monsters in the epic-level handbook to hit you except on a critical, but those were mostly fixed with 3.5.) Additionally, more hit points were usually conserved by ending a fight quickly than having a higher AC, so it was better to use a two-handed weapon than carry a shield. Though there is a special property called Animated. It's the only way shield use, and by extension "Sword and Board" combat is remotely viable. Mostly though this is just so you can get special properties on the shield without being hindered by it. o To elaborate, AC is an incredibly expensive stat to boost. You can easily sink 300,000 gold into it and it won't matter despite being essentially maxed out as anything that cares about mundane attacks will hit you 95% of the time anyways. Anything that doesn't will use magic and magic ignores AC 100% of the time. The only reason you're even getting 5% defense is because natural 1s on the 20 sided die for attack rolls always miss no matter what. By comparison, a maxed out weapon is 200,000, and actually helps you. You only get about 760,000 total for all your equipment. On the bright side, stuff like miss chances almost always works and gives you a flat chance to avoid being hit. It's also a lot cheaper. * The above only applies to 3rd Edition. In earlier editions, heavy metal armor was almost the only way to avoid getting hit in melee combat with powerful monsters-wizards were exceptionally vulnerable unless they found some sort of magical cloaks, bracers or rings that gave them the same protection as armor.
Here's an even better one:Mister Sinister gave me the idea without realizing he was giving me the idea.
It is a shame stupidity isn't painful.
Totally true. Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment.
Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?"
I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife. A dull, rusty knife. A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife.
Fluffy: It's over Steve! I've got the high ground!Steve: You underestimate my power! Fluffy: Don't try it, Steve!Steve: *charges*Fluffy: *three critical strikes* Steve: ****
I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet.
When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!"
Buy a small country. Or Pelor. Both are good investments.
