This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I have a theory, it could be witches, some evil witches!
Which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were persecuted Wicca good and love the earth and women power and I’ll be over here.

Gotta love that DnD magic system. It's so silly and illogical at times it just gives me a warm feeling inside. The nostalgia of spending hours discussing with friends about why it has to work that way...it's beautiful, really.

Yeah... I was really sad that they did away with the whole armor thing.

"Wizards can't cast spells in armor, because of the metal."
"Ah, so they can't wear any metal, right?"
"umm... no, metal's fine. It's just... unwieldy, yeah, that's it. You can't cast because the armor is too heavy."
"So can a wizard wear armor when he's out of spells? Say, after my first-level character cast his one spell, can I wear chainmail?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Well... you can't."

Good times :)

HA! I like the "Well, too much metal interferes with the wizard's connection to the magic-stuff floating around in the air....but a little metal's ok." "So, it's ok to wear non-metal armor?" "Ah...no." "How come?" "Ah....cuz....ah.....it's the buckles." "So I can just use straps that tie on?" "Ah...no." etc...
