The Gaming Den

The MOBs are called MOBs, because Mobile Unit is the correct term to describe them. Additionally, in real games, with real decisions like 3.5, enemies are flying because it's what they do, and PCs are flying because it's what they do too. I currently have a level 7 and a level 10 game. In the first,...

That's because the term monster is a mechanical definition. Monsters are meant to be killed. NPCs are intended to be interacted with. As soon as the fight ends, if you leave a monster alive, it becomes an NPC. Note that there are no rules for the combat capabilities of NPCs, you shouldn't be fighti...

Oh come on, are you willfully misinterpreting his logic? The harpy attack forces 80% of that hypothetical party to sit on their thumbs. That is why it's unsuitable for that party. I have no idea how you get to the conclusion that no encounter is suitable. Read the bolded part. He said that if the p...

Oh wow, that defense combo is amazing. On metal slimes etc: I'm not sure why they were made so much easier than in previous games. Not only are they more easily killed with all the awesome abilities, but they don't run away nearly as much as in previous games. Like, in DW III I remember specificall...

I'm still kind of floored by the notion that you shouldn't put an encounter with a dragon focused on strafing attacks, or a roc that behaves as described, into a game just because the PCs are a bunch of DMFs. Don't you know? You should make one character sheet, as narrow as possible, even by 4.Fail...

ITT: A whole bunch of people admit that 4.Fail enemies are MMO mobs, while not admitting they are MMO mobs and denying the same, using "hundreds of thousands" religious style logic to somehow handle this blatant contradiction. They also support Dungeon Scaling, which means they Fail At Lif...

Look we know you don't have the ability to engage people in an actual argument you can stop proving it over and over.

Displacement (psychological).

Look it up fuckwit.

I tend to regard the contemptible in contempt, yes. You should too. It's like someone trying to sell a Model T at new car prices. The Model T was nice. As a starting point. Many years ago. As for a 3.5 bashing thread, it has plenty of problems too, and unlike 4rries, I am quite willing to go into t...

And yes, Something Awful forums. Interesting that a forum with a name like that would choose to support 4.Fail. I mean, it is Something Awful. *dum dum pish* Jokes about the name aside though, I was previously under the impression they were a competent forum. However, seeing they support 4.Fail pro...

Lols.

Hi Welcome Thanks! I came because I regularly make an effort to discuss things with people who radically disagree with me, and some fellow goons mentioned the '4e Critique and Rebuttal' thread, which seemed like a nice place to have some of both. There seems to be a lot more of the one than the oth...

By the way, where are these particular 4rries from? If we're going to be invaded by a bunch of mouth breathers, I'd at least like to know where they are from. -Username17 I think what happened here is we said something bad about Scientologists 4.Fails, so they all came here to ask us what our crime...

And, if you're going to play a game all about grinding on the MOB, then an MMO, which does the math for you and leads to combat resolution time measured in minutes, rather than hours is infinitely superior. Also, using the same dice does not mean the same system, just as a Tandy and a modern comput...

Huge guy with Spiked Chain bitch slaps you away with Knockback, and then spams AoOs on you as you fly away.

Not so much squick, as wholly inappropriate for the medium. That really isn't the type of roleplay most people play D&D for.

Obviously things that can be sold in D&D cannot always be bought. It is silly that this is the case but, hey, them's the rules. Right next to the ones that include people flying and gigantic monsters existing. Also I like your biiiiig stretch to make the 4E=MMO thing even though basically nothi...

Fail adventurers, they forgot the part about taking their stuff.

Don't bother. PR's just trolling, and with even less subtlety than usual.

If you make an ignorant statement, I reserve the right to correct you. Isn't that what the Den is about or something?

I thought it was about mocking dog porn, and telling people to suck a barrel of cocks.

Well, the concept of fusing similar skills together is good, and was blatantly stolen by me well before it was blatantly stolen by say, Pathfailure. But everything else about it is terribad.

What fans care about doesn't matter . I see what you did there. In this topic, a Paizil attempts to justify terrible rules by shunting all the blame onto the DM, ignoring that in any other profession, such would lead to your immediate dismissal from your job position. At best. Anyways, aside from a...

Things that can be sold can be bought. Unless you are admitting that selling items consists of clicking on a vendor window, after which the item immediately disappears, never to be seen again? Because lol MMO vendors is the only alternative here. But you already knew this, given that you have very ...

And while it is fairly silly that uncommons can't be bought, where exactly are you getting the information that you can't be sold? Things that can be sold can be bought. Unless you are admitting that selling items consists of clicking on a vendor window, after which the item immediately disappears,...

I like how Zinegata's argument is basically "lots of people do it, so it can't be wrong". Rewind a few hundred years, lots of people believed the world is flat. Today, Faux News is the most popular news channel, despite being the least accurate. All it proves is that most people are fuckin...

Go fuck yourself, and stop whining.

Drawback: The hidden message can be read by a combination of the true seeing spell with the read magic or comprehend languages spell. So they have to be able to True seeing (easy) or have Comprehend languages on (rarer). Yes, this does mean higher level enemies more vulnerable than low level (other...
