My brother and one of my friends are all about the wheel of time. I liked it okay except for all the weaving the hair weave dance step orgy combinations required to make magic work. My friend DM'ed it to show how cool it was supposed to be. I played a fighter who, on adventure 1 was attacked by 50, yes 50 of those trolloc things and the sorcerer thingy that travels with them. I was supposed to be 'guarding the wagon'. I tried fighting them at the edge of a stream, thinking one at a time I might hold them off long enough for the folks on the wagon to escape. Didn't want to be a martyr on the first adventure, but I was thinking that's what was about to happen. Then the shadow thingy gets past me using hair-weave dance step slide to the left magic. So I go to fight the thing. You can imagine how that went. Then I tried getting the wagon to the top of the hill and outrunning them altogether. Nope... more shadowy hair-weave teleport. Then he died.
And they say I'm the harsh DM.
Hey anybody remember the D20 system they (WotC) put out for it a while back? It was actually pretty good, one of the things they added in was a defense score that went up as you gained levels, I always liked that, made more sense to me, I mean a 20th level fighter should be harder to hit than a first level one regardless about what kinda armor theyre wearing, ya know?

You played games where the level 20 fighter had the same AC that he had when he was level 1?
Steve again?

Steve was good for that too, He hardly ever gave out magic items, and if he did it was some intelligent weapon that always argued with you and get mad at you and then decide that its not going to help you in the next fight, ever gotten your ass kicked by your own sword!?
But thats not really what I meant, lets say you have 2 naked fighters, both with the same Dex, they would both have the same AC even though one of them is level 20 and the other is level 1, I think the level 20 guy would have more expierence at dodging blows and whatnot, knowhatimena? Granted the level 20 guy has more Hitpoints, so he can take more hits, but still, I liked that defense score.

Ummm... you sure you were playing D&D?
ring of protection, so yeah, some of the games I was in got a little freaky.

Depends on what are HPs. Some people see HP as mix of dodged hits, luck and physical resistance, not hits that can be withstand before your body collapse.
So the level 20 fighter dodges more than the level 1 fighter.
Steve was in the closet, wasn't he? No wonder "Steve" is the default name for crappy people with whom to play D&D.
Well yeah, we played a couple times in the closet, but what does that have to do with anything.
I don't want to know what "D&D" stands for when you're playing in the closet!

Because you lose your dexterity bonus in confined quarters.
:p

Not D & D.
D n D, as in Do not Disturb.
Too late. I'm disturbed.
Probably. The "PG-13" version would be "Darkness & Desperation".
Or *Ahem* and Oh, Myyy.
It's alright, Silver. I've always known I didn't want to bother reading the book. And I didn't even have to waste money on it!
