<p>As for the dryads, as has been discussed, alignment is an ugly business. It might not work great in this instance like many others because the shades of gray are heavy. They are protecting their homelands by whatever means they think is needed and for all we know, they might think what they're doing to the charmed people is a gift to them (a very chaotic way of thinking). I like to think that the rules of the fae/fey along with what's good or evil in their books is going to be a bit alien to how WE see it. We're trying to apply rules to a group of people playing an entirely different game ... so good luck with that heh.</p>Insain Dragoon wrote:Chris Lambertz wrote: Removed a post.

I have no idea if they ever will be but it doesn't mean we should ever stop trying to make them so and let our voices fizzle out. I'm a straight man myself but I'm married to a woman who appreciates a smexy man as much as the next girl. She agrees that currently the only male character appealing in her eyes (physically) is Seltyiel. Valeros has had maybe a picture or two she didn't hate but usually something's off for her.</p>
<p>However, as has been discussed quite a bit, tastes are all over the place for women AND men or varying leanings. I'm a weird case where I don't think I have a "type". Female elves can be hot (though some of Golarions don't appeal to me when the eyes get TOO big and bug eyed but luckily not all of their art follows in this direction) but I can like female dwarves just as much and even the half orc lady paizo has isn't bad at all. Size 4 or 24, I don't care though truth be told, most of the smaller sized/thinner types don't appeal to me as much as a healthier form contrary to what I'm constantly told by commercials and ads I should enjoy as a man (ugh and co-workers). </p>
<p>Likewise, my wife's tastes can be pretty fantasy elves to hairy muscular men. </p>
<p>All that being said, it is funny how there are far more ugly men drawings/creatures then female. I also do not agree with the stories behind nymphs and dryads being female only, a thing we've changed in our own worlds/games. I honestly found most of those stories to likely all be male fantasies and wishing to keep it women only for their own appeal.</p>

<p>I've seen many posts about this going one way or another and something I've just seen for myself with time is also the reason why some people love to play the opposite gender, some people hate it, some people go both ways and so on and so on.</p>
<p>First, to note, I'm ok with people playing whatever they want to play. I really don't care. Let fun be fun so long as this fun is infringing on other people's fun in very blatant matters (I'm not going into details but there are some things that are universally frowned upon).</p>
<p>I've never really played/created any character I've been attached to that wasn't a guy. When I sit down to play, I'm doing it to throw myself completely into this character that has a piece of me inside of them. All of my characters do in some regard despite their personality, taking whatever part I think I haven't touched upon or explored. My wife plays with me and I really greatly enjoy RPing with her with relationships and all that good stuff too (and she's the same way playing just women).</p>
<p>HOWEVER, the reasons I roleplay/create a character/etc are not always the same as everyone else's and I think, often times, this is where we get lost and why people disagree. We don't all roleplay or game the same way. We don't all have the same interests or desires out of what we're looking for; both out of our games and out of our characters. I want to put myself in the role of my character and see the world through them. I'm most comfortable as a guy so that's how I do it. Some people are most comfortable as other genders and a LOT of people don't necessarily feel this way at all.</p>
<p>Some people play to BE someone or something else entirely. We all escape a bit into our characters but where are we trying to go is different. The stories and experiences we're trying to find are different. If the story and experience you want is whatever gender/race/color/class/blahblah combination than FANTASTIC! If people feel as wonderful as I do after creating and enjoying a character for their own wants and desires, then that's awesome. </p>
<p>This hobby is about FUN and CREATIVITY in my mind and the more people on board for some of that, however they want to get there, is nothing short of wonderful. I can't have fun playing a girl? Tons of people can and woohoo! Don't like playing your life's gender or situation? Other people do so woohoo as well!</p>
<p>TLDR; Keep in mind we all play for whatever reasons and they may not be the ones your playing for. Let people play what they like and are comfortable with and don't pretend to be better than anyone else because they don't do what you think they should do.</p>Old topic but I just wanted to chime in a bit as well.

<p>Just to add another perspective to this since I notice some guys trying too hard to knock guys for putting a chest on everything that moves (and I'm not saying this wasn't the case).</p>
<p>But my wife is not small up top. None of the characters she creates are small up top. The outfits she puts them in, some of them you might think "A guy made that because they're lonely".

<p>I go and look at the PA forums and it's how great 4e is and that's awesome!</p>
<p>I'm only 31 so I might not be a graybeard (I do have white in my scruff dammit >_< ) but I know better than to claim someone lacks "empathy" just because he doesn't agree with why people got upset and try to explain things another way. </p>
<p>And I do believe people's emotions can be WRONG. I can't even look at politics without getting a little sick of how fear mongering works for both sides and how this side blames that side and how we're ruining everything with blah blah blah.</p>
<p>Upset they don't want your business anymore and tell people they're not worth their time? Yeah that sucks and is worth emotion. But when people got upset at that cartoon back in the day when 4e came out about the troll posting? Nope ... not seeing it.</p>
<p>I don't post a lot and mostly lurk. But when I saw what you said about him it just bothered me. I don't even talk to the guy but I respect him enough to at least say his opinions have never come off as anything but sensible, or at least what I've READ of his (won't say he doesn't have posts where he kicks kittens and curb stomps halflings).</p>
<p>Anyway ... I'll be done with this too. Just had to say my peace.</p>
<p>As for the ACTUAL topic, I've been out of the game long enough to try picking this up. I am looking for something more light weight in complexity. I personally loved 4e's "everyone gets cool stuff" mentality but as hard as it is for me to play now, I'll give Next a solid go and try and get into some more PBP's to get my fix.</p>Derek, I don't need to be past a certain age to know that everyone, no matter their age, can let their emotions cloud judgment.

<p>I didn't like 4th edition at first. The REALMS changes bothered me and a few other things got under my skin and I retreated to Pathfinder like a great many people did. </p>
<p>As I grew older and stopped having a chance to really play ANYTHING as often as I would have liked, I stopped and started looking into games again. I read forums more and even started reading a lot of things that Scott posted and found myself agreeing and self reflecting a good deal about what I was upset about. Books that I bought being obsolete? They're never obsolete. You can keep playing.</p>
<p>Forgotten Realms going through a meat grinder? Well ... yeah a LOT changed against people's will but it's not the first time this has happened. Time of Troubles was a fairly big shake up but since I came in AFTER that, I didn't really care. Same for people that came in AFTER FR switched to 4th and I found some perspective and stopped even caring about the gods that did or did not die. Actually a lot of the FR gods are boring to me anyway so ... eh?</p>
<p>I hated how much hassle spellcasters were and I started looking at 4th edition and realized ... I actually LIKE this now. Its easier. Its fun. I honestly couldn't understand what bothered me about it other than it was different.</p>
<p>Scott has empathy. I think he understands people fairly well enough to call them out on acting silly for being upset about things that might not have gone down the way they constantly tell themselves it did. He defends something he enjoys and I'm happy he does. He's one of the voices of reason I've come to find entertaining on here when I have to slog through comments like this that try to paint him or ANYONE in an unjustly negative light just because they disagree.</p>houstonderek wrote:Scott gets upset if you attack Wotc (or he perceives an attack).

<p>So, of course they were trying to make money, and had to find a way to beat the past problems. Did they go about it poorly, yes, but it is a business more than anything else. You have to make money to continue to be a business.</p>
<p>Personally I wish they would follow the Paizo example and focus on JUST campaigns, modules, and accessories.

It sounds way too reasonable to me.
<p>I'm of the camp that loved 2nd, loved 3rd/3.5, was put off by 4th edition and gave it a small chance before dropping it, went to Pathfinder, before going BACK to 4th and realizing I didn't try hard enough.</p>
<p>It's easy to let change and bitterness cloud your judgement. Hate is much easier. Plus you get cool red lightsabers. Truth be told I find 4th to have a lot less problems than 3rd/3.5/Pathfinder. It's by no means perfect but I doubt any system will be. Still, it's a lot of fun and I've slowly put down the red lightsaber. Heck even my complaints against the FR changes have halted and I've come to understand better the decision made to change it up. I'd love to try out 4th edition eberron myself but my group seems content with FR for now.</p>Aardvark Barbarian wrote:ciretose wrote:If you don't think WoTC created 4th edition as a money grab, and you believe the way they sell books so that you need to buy them all pokemon style (pun intended) is altruistic, then you are exactly the type of customer they want.

<p>This build leans very Dex heavy with only like 10-12 in str for weight/loads.</p>
<p>What I did for my inquisitor was make him a follower of Sarenrae.</p>
<p>This makes you proficient with scimitars.</p>
<p>At level 1 pick up Weapon Finesse. For now just pick up a rapier or an elven curveblade if you're elven (which I was).</p>
<p>At level 3 things get much easier. Pick up Dervish Dance (a feat from one of the side books. Guide to Qadira or something). This single feat kind of sets you on track to damaging while pumping dex. It not only lets you treat a scimitar as a finessable weapon but it ALSO allows you to add your DEX to damage over your STR.</p>
<p>Will you do AS much damage as if you had picked up a two handed weapon for time and a half STR? Not quite but you gain some decent AC from having a high dex, plus you make prime use of some light armor in the process.</p>
<p>Plus later down the road, an animated shield really gives a nice strong boost here.</p>
<p>Pick up Weapon Focus Scimitar as you go for any help to hit and focus on healing/aid spells over damaging ones as you go, given your classes extensive damage capabilities without it.</p>
<p>The Dervish Inquistor really works out great in a game (tested and approved). You don't have to worry about STR so much which is a really nice thing to be able to do with a sufficient melee class.</p>I agree with the idea that the Inquisitor is primarily a striker class but there is a way to kind of get a bit of both worlds.
