Make sure you go to a session with him at GenCon and ask about confusing rules so he can be an arrogant, yet surprisingly ignorant, cock to you. It's worth the price of admission.

So the man who decided to "fix" Shades by allowing it to duplicate Trap the Soul, and felt that Shapechange was badly in need of a powerup, and most hillarious of all "fixed" Alter Self so that noone even knows what it does any more is going to answer rules questions?

That's great. Or terrible. I get the two mixed up some times.

Some of my other favorite hits:

Death Gate is just an overpriced death effect. You know except for not having the Death Effect descriptor, allowing a saving throw, or being stoppable in anyway.

Half-Orcs suck, because people needed an easy PC race.

Barghest Shapechange doesn't work, because despite designing rules I have no clue how Instantaneous effects work.

The list goes on.

Looks like we are going to get more stupid rulings, probably worse than the last.

And my policy toward the sage still stands: "The Sage is always right, as long as I agree with him."

I bet I can make his head explode, Blade style.

I'm looking forward to online Sage Advice chats myself.

I'll ask softball questions like "If a fighter has a +3 BAB, Weapon Focus, and a Masterwork Sword and rolls a 10 on the die, does he hit AC 15 or not?" until I get a few to gloat over.

Oh well, at least it wasn't Jordan K. Johnson.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

That's just mean. I want you to ask him sillier questions:

Q: If you cast Alter Self into a Xill, how many attacks do you get?

Q2: If you Alter Self into a Xill and carry four daggers, how many attacks do you get?

Q3: If you Alter Self into a Xill, carry two daggers, and have proficiency with the Boot Blade, and have two of them and breast plate with armor spikes, how many attacks do you get?

And finally, Q4: Why?

That would be a good judge of his worth as a person, methinks.

Are you suggesting he can't add or am I missing something?
