User talk:Spazalicious Chaos/Avatarization (3.5e Guide)

This is Dumb

For these reasons:

1. If I wanted to play a "real world" person, WoD would be a much better system for emulating real people.
2. If I wanted to play myself, I wouldn't play a fantasy RPG.
3. RPGs are an escape. See #2.
4. If we were to actually be in D&D, we would all be commoners, or, if we're REALLY special, experts. Yes, even a "bard" is just a commoner with ranks in Perform (and again, emulated far better in WoD).
5. We're all low level. Can you take a crit from an axe, even if it were wielded by someone with no strength, and not A. fall unconscious after a few moments, and B. have your ability to move around and fight and so on completely unhampered? I didn't think so. No one really can.

Also what if you're like me, an eldritch abomination reflected in real number space as a humanoid figure? It would be quite unfair for me to stat myself in D&D, since by definition my powers are infinite, limited only by the fact that I am technically sleeping, and the act of me waking up would probably obliterate your "physics" thing you humanoids seem to rely on. But in all seriousness, this is bad and you should feel bad. Also, I chortle (in a bad way) at your sidebar which basically reads "Starting at a high level? Well you're going to be behind everyone else, lawl." -- Eiji-kun 07:16, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Funny how the majority of your arguments rely on people I know not existing...

1. Agreed.
2. Clearly the sign of lack of self confidence. I ran a group were we all agreed to play ourselves, and there was one guy who said just that. I worked with him and pointed out A) he was a masters in chemistry, B) he is freakishly smart, and C) he was a hunter as a hobby. He ended up being a ranger with craft (alchemy) skill focus. He blew up a dragon with lye. It was awesome.
3. Lame excuses. Make yourself and use yourself to kill a giant. Escape.
4. No, because D&D is nothing like real life. Hit points, skills and combat are all off. It is not an inheritly realistic system and does not handle the wide range of human capability at all.
5. Last guy I knew that took a critical hit peritod took a knife to the chest. He picked up the guy who stabed him and slammed him on the ground so hard he broke the guys spine. I have fallen thrity feet, landed on my back, and was able to enjoy the rest of my hike.

Conclusion- you need cooler friends. Reality is so awesome, but apparently you just never got to experience it.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 07:22, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

SC, that's bullshit. Apparently you hang out with either godlike paragons of human capability, or you are lying. Second of all, D&D involves characters routinely doing things that are literally impossible to do in reality, like magic, in order to have nearly any fun at all. No one who wants to be a wizard or sorcerer or cleric or druid can use this guide whatsoever, because once these characters can do shit the players themselves can't do, THEY CEASE TO BE AVATARS.

Fuck, even your stupid guide says that "If you're the type who'd be a Druid, you probably don't play D&D". This guide is completely worthless. Everything that's your own idea is useless, redundant, pointless, or has no real function, and everything that's possibly worthwhile, usable, or fun has already been thought up by other people literally decades ago.

And this is a reoccuring thing I see in ALL your contributions. And by the way, stop fucking using "Well the people in MY games like X/can do X no problem", either give us some names, have them chime in themselves, or give tangible proof. Otherwise you're resorting to ad hoc fallacies that are only marginally better than just sockpuppeting. --71.82.214.138 08:24, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
