Is D&D fun? I'm thinking about getting into it.

[Lorizael]

I know a great deal about 3.5 but I don't feel like giving you advice about it.

Slashing your wrists can be fun too, if you're into it, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

Just remember, down the street, not across it.

And tehban, supporting suicide.

Distorting my words? I bet Ayers spent time at the UoC! Did you stop him from attending? Are you a terrorist too? Why are you trying to hide it? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?!?

Oh.

My.

God.

GOOD SIR! How dare you? I mean, how dare you?

I spent FOUR YEARS tortured by those academics at the UofC, and you have the gall--the gall--to question me?

This is beside the point that Ayers was at UIC, which is like Kampuchea to UofC's Viet Nam.

I need hide NOTHING from your attempt swift-CTA-busing me! You damn dirty liberals and your slanderous tactics!

Ok, my Paladin has died.

Long live my new barbarian character? Any adivce on how to play him? (E3.5)

[Zkribbler]

Team up with mages and clerics.

Whack monsters with your warhammer.

Paladin's are tough. Also, any DM that doesn't kill a few players is a munchkin, get over it. I know it suck because you put time into them, but that's the fun.

I once loss, temporarily, a Lvl 12 Dwarven fighter that adored and put about a year in. While he was "gone" I played a albino half-orc barbarian and had a blast! He was pretty much a no brainer, low-low charisma and high-high strenght, con, and dex. He started pretty much as a pitbull on a chain. I eventually got him up to level 15, a year later, and he had pretty much become a ring leader. Well, I didn't lead the team, but I lead the army. It was awesome.

Play a bruiser, balls out. Name your weapons, your battle moves, etc... Random acts of violence, depending on your alignment, and/or feats of chivalry. You're the muscle, nothing else, treat it like that.

I agree, far to many DMs don't follow this practice though.

Nah, its ok the game would be so boring without death and it gives me a chance to play with a class I've never played before. I'm big on role-play and a n00b so every new character is unique and fresh to me.

I agree, half our party got obliterated in a battle that we shouldn't have gotten ouselves into... it would suck if the DM came up with a convulted reason why our foes would spare us.

My Barbarian is True Neutral BTW.

[Jon Miller]

A lot of people play true neutral as someone who does equal ammounts of evil and good. This is actually pretty evil, and chaotic at that.

I think that playing true neutral as selfish, but not overly so, or something like that is the way to go.

My dwarf had little man syndrom. His name was Stone D. Mason (get it "stoned Mason" hehe). Anyway, he always used dwarven made weapons or, if he had to, weapons made of stone (stone hit at a -1 I think, whatever it put me at a disadvantage). I worked on Mountain Climbing as a skill and used it to my advantage in fighting, I always wore spiked boots. I took to fighting big things, like dragons, giants, and people over 6 feet (not really). My MO was to latch on to them and then just hack at them with my trusty axe THE CHISEL. I referred to everything I was after as my quarry, had a Code in Stone that I followed (list of rules/laws), and was headstrong towards Dwarfs and to friends. Still Chaotic Lawful.

Last I heard Stone was a god. When I left he was a king. Yet, only thanks to the DM, because when he returned from his absence I elected to play my albino half-orc, I've forgotten his name right now, but he died shortly after that. So, that sucked.
