article: Out Lawyering the Rules Lawyer

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

That movie put me to sleep.

I believe that half our time is spent negotiating and hashing out rules during our gaming sessions.  Of course it doesn't help either that our GM is studying to be a lawyer...

That may be true MoreDew, but I think that bending the rules to "simulate realism in an imagined fantasy setting" can be enjoyable as well.  Especially when bending the rules allows for what is represented in the cannon that has been published...such as the use of telekenetic powers for a jedi to slow his dissent after being blown off of a bidge when ambushed by 6 destroyer droids and 6 Ubese Headhunters, but not to the extent that they could tumble for one piece of falling, scorching hot rubble from the explosion to another across a 30 meter chasm without the expenditure of force points in a selfish manner.  Not to reference an campaign I would be affiliated with or anything like that.

Whatever

I've been having nightmares about half black dragon war trolls with the diehard feat.  Hordes of them, pouring out of the Shadowlands.

On an unrelated note, my feat selection will be Power Attack, Improved Bull Rush, Knockback, Rampaging Bull Rush.  I'm not sure if I should go for Obtain Familiar or Exotic Weapon Proficiency for the goliath greathammer.

Interesting idea on the trolls.

[Captain Morgan]

Don't even think about it Nicadymus

[Spriggan]

Our Troll has the same thing, EUOL and Micah (our 2 rule lawyers) ruled that at -10 they drop for one round.

[Nicadymus]

Your lucky Morgan.  The world we are playing in right now doesn't have trolls native to its plane.  However, I am not precluding the idea for a future campaign.

In addition, I had a dream last night about a group of goblin death knights in service to Vecna who rode undead dire worgs, and wielded keen, flaming lances, and shields.
