I love Arena format, but I've always loved drafting more than constructed. Granted, there's less strategy to Arena draft than a MtG draft, but it's still fun. | ||

He attacks each combat, not each turn. How is this relevantly different unless you have an effect that gives you multiple combat phases and a way to untap/give him vigilance? | ||

Not a big fan of the Drow thing however. As to the article itself I mean alignment and good vs evil has always been long debated and often a possible way for a party to break up. The example of the party finding a room with a baby orc in it. By the manual it's an ork it's an evil creature, however it's a baby and killing an infant orc or not is repugnant. Is it? I guess it depends on how you view what is good or evil. Which is why I rather liked the idea of Paladins working off of what they believe is right rather then what is written down in some book. | ||

I guess it depends on how you view what is good or evil. Which is why I rather liked the idea of Paladins not so much working off of what they believe is right rather then what is written down in some book. They mention that one in the comments. I was highly amused. Obviously any time you try to mechanically quantify good and evil there are going to be problems. It was just fun reading some of the ideas and implications that extend from such a "ruleset." | ||

Bowser Jr, Shulk Confirmed for Smash4. The leak that everyone has been posting is real. SO THAT MEANS. No more Wolf or Lucas. Ice Climbers are likely out or DLC. DUCK HUNT DOG PSUDO CONFIRMED?! Ganondorf is in, but is still a clone. | ||

2. I forgot 5th edition also mentioned the whole planes of reality ala Planescape. This further pleases me. | ||

I've yet to play with a Paladin who wasn't an asshole. Even in the games where there's no Paladin "class," the guy who decided to be the "honorable, lawful good paragon" sucks. | ||

It's not exclusive to just lawful good Paladins, but also the variants of the other 3 extreme alignments as well. Fundamentally, the idea of a character who's bound to a particular ideology so tightly that they lose all their power for even straying slightly from it creates a weird standoff between player and DM where the player plays their character as close to the book as possible for fear of the consequences of doing otherwise, and the DM therefore has trouble trying to motivate the party through objectives that aren't in line with that character's extreme alignment due to the player not wanting to be take that risk. There are a lot of complex plotlines that you end up being unable to use because the Paladin's answer has to be "I can't because my god says no". For example, is the Paladin unable to cross the River Styx in your adventures into Hades because paying Charon the coin to cross is paying an evil demon for his services? | ||

At least with players who decide to act CE I just have the town guard murder them where they stand. Edit: Or murder them myself, if I'm PC'ing. | ||
