I feel the obligation to have a weekly poll, probably involving disagreements, caps lock, poodles, etc.
PS: Thanks Jal.
First question to be debated until next Friday:
What levels would you give America, using 3.5E?
Barbarian:
Bard:
Cleric:
Druid:
Fighter:
Monk:
Paladin:
Ranger:
Rogue:
Sorceror:
Wizard:
I though you were abstaining?
There's one in every crowd...
EDIT: Wait, I know...if we are going to add in race, are we going only with core races, or can we bring in Spriggan?
I though you were abstaining?I thought of a non-controversial response.
Ahhh, but of course.
Fighter 3/Rogue 3/Bard 4
Paladin 20
Paladin 20
So, extremely full of itself, believes it's god's chosen, assumes it has the right to "smite evil" where ever it sees fit, "holier than thou" attitude... yeah, I can see how Paladin 20 would fit. ;-)

You gotta give the U.S. some credit. We protect Europe from the bad guys and you guys don't have to spend that much on national defense. That way you socialists can blow your budgets on social programs that you love so dearly. So cut us some slack, huh?

amen, brother. i'd love to see how many social programs canada (for one) could afford if they had a HOSTILE southern neighbor...

America is the epic multiclass.
We got many levels of Cleric, many levels of Druid, many levels of Fighter, many levels of Ranger, many levels of Rogue, many levels of Bard and quite a few levels of Monk.
Not so much with the Barbarians or Sorcerers and I don't think we've had much in the way of Wizard levels since Tesla died.
i would add a level or two someplace. we ARE epic, after all ;)Commoner 15 / Aristocrat 5
Yeah, you heard me. My country is an NPC.
I'd add at least one level of expert. Maybe more.

Pray tell which "bad guys" you are protecting us from at the moment?
Personally I think we're spending way too much on national defense, the days of retaliation from our brothers just to the north and east are long gone (and we actually used to attack them instead) and the Germans down south are much more interested in making expensive cars. Are you talking about cheap labour from e.g. Poland? There are a lot of those up here, but I don't think our armed forces are that concerned about them.And boy, you really have a problem with anything you can call "socialist."
Well, all of our "social programs" have led Europe to have much higher standards in a lot of areas.
Also, please notice the ";-)" smiley at the end of my first post, it was mostly done tongue-in-cheek. No reason to get all riled up. :-)

Oh yes, just like how the U.S. is bordered by hostile neighbours... oh wait...

Not a worry, I'm not riled up or mad. I apologize if I sounded that way.Have you heard of Russia or China? If it wasn't for the U.S. they would roll over you guys in a heartbeat. If you don't believe that you're being naive.

funny, last i checked, russia was a mere 30 miles from us...
Lets not turn this thread into a battle. Take your international relations somewhere else.
Oh, btw, how could America be a paladin. If anything close to that it would be a Gray Guard. Paladins have a strict CODE OF CONDUCT, which America seems to have forgotten recently. Yes we protect people, and many recent politicians consider themselves crusaders for God, but what about all the lies and scandals America has recently produced?
Gray Guard: 4
Rogue: 3
Fighter: 7
Expert: 2
But despite my opinion, I like Shiny's the best:
Commoner: 15
Aristocrat: 5

First question to be debated until next Friday:
What levels would you give America, using 3.5E?
Barbarian:
Bard: 4 (Hollywood and the music industry does provide quite a bit of entertainment)Cleric: 7 (with all the churches on almost every street corner - although IMO the Heathen Clerics from Dragonlance would be a perfect fit)
Druid: 1 (on behalf of all the "treehuggers" and wacky P.E.T.A. people)
Fighter: 10 (I think that's self explanatory)
Monk:
Paladin:
Ranger:
Rogue: 3 (with all the wiretapping, CIA clandestine operations and other covert operations in general)
Sorcerer:
Wizard: 5 (this is sort of a combo with the Fighter levels, I'm thinking pure firepower and nuclear armaments - high tech vs. low tech is why it's wizard and not sorcerer)
Oh and race: Human
Very, very much Human.

I agree with the spending too much on national defense. Hopefully the US can shake out of this recent financial mess and start thinking seriously of cutting a few of the apron strings around the world. No one likes America playing policeman, I think it is time to let some of these UN police efforts/foreign intervention/aid programs go by the wayside.
Russia seems to be interested in taking a more active role in European/Asian geopolitics, I say go ahead, have fun.
China seems happy to mess around in Africa, I say welcome to it guys, good luck.
Iraq wants us gone, let's march on outta there. Iran wants to play big dog in the yard? Heck, let them. I'm sure al-Qaeda will be happy to switch targets to Teheran (after all they are Shiites in Iran, with most other ME countries Sunni and you think Christianity has factions that hate each other? )
Let's cut out ALL our foreign interventionalist crap. And yes, that INCLUDES the former Yugoslavia and any Darfur thing people might be whinging about. No US involvement means NO US INVOLVEMENT. Not just in issues some folks find offensive. I think foreign aid has to go bye bye as well, charity begins at the home right? We've got plenty of nukes, I don't think we need to worry about invasion, so let's stop playing policeman/welfare office/Big Meanie to the world. Let's sort our own messes out first.
Take all that money we save, reinvigorate NASA, lay a claim on some nice asteroids with lots of metals on them, build a chain of SPS powersats and we can let everyone else do their own thang.
Given our current political situation, I would say:
10 wizard / 10 barbarian....
And somehow our wisdom score got dropped to 1.

I have to agree with you on that. But depending on the election, we may multiclass.
Our charisma must be high, unless politicians are getting 20's on thier bluff checks.

Of course, McCain fumbled on "We are winning in Iraq".
Alright, Poll #2, ready for action:
After seeing the crazy changes in 4E, what will be in DnD 5E?
-Levels up to 50
-Uranium Dragons
-Halflings no longer a race, instead minotaur
-Fighter no longer a class, instead cop
-Rounds are broken into 1 second intervals in which a super-minor action may be preformed:
like moving half a square, yellling, beginning a check, finishing a check, or attacking a Uranium Dragon with your Minotaur Cop/50 Warlord/10

Ability scores will no longer exist, nor will levels - everything will be allocated skill points.
No hit points, hit locations will be determined by roll and that body part will have to make a save against trauma. Failure means injury (or death).
No more alignments. Characters with religious beliefs tied to their powers will be audited by the DM at the end of every session. For everyone else, it doesn't matter. There will be no more good/evil/lawful/chaotic spell-effects.
Arcane casters will accumulate Insanity points for casting spells too often. Rest removes some of these on a daily basis.
Rogues will be able to levitate, turn invisible, and dimension door at will and their saliva will become deadly poison at higher levels.
Fighters will become a permanent NPC class. Players must choose Ranger, Paladin, or Warlord.
You no longer need to make a character. A starter set contains a ton of dice. You get together with your friends and just roll.

Nono. I think the next edition will just be a bottle opener, music CDs, a little noise maker and a movie. then, everyone sits down to play and just gives into the distractions all night while making jokes about Gnomes and Marsupials. At this point of course, the Gnome will have been addded back in since no one things half-orcs and marsupials are funny.
I love marsupials.

You will no longer require a character sheet. When you make a character, you will select a series of options from the online database. Once you are done, you submit your character to a processor. You then copy the one-word result onto a piece of paper. The possible results are "GOOD" and "FAIL". If you have a "GOOD" character, you can do anything you want - even treat other players like garbage (even if they also have "GOOD" character). If you have a "FAIL" character, you are charged $5 for being stupid and not knowing how to make a "GOOD" character. You then show the receipt to the DM and sit in the corner playing Mortal Kombat until the session is over.
lol
ps: Jal, I love the new alias, the green guy is so... BOLD!
I love marsupials.who doesn't? but that doesn't stop it from being funny that halflings are marsupials in my game and have access to a pouch of holding. which really doesn't hold that much, but ti's an extra pouch.
Wha... never mind, sounds cool

That made me spit Canada Dry over my desk. It also seems eerily possible...although my personal houserule for it would be that "FAIL" characters get to play too, so long as they can keep the "GOOD" characters amused with their antics.
Ha. Keep them as long as they entertain. Reminds me of jesters.

Why go through the effort, just have the DM call once a week to let the players know if their characters survived.
I didn't know Paizo was going to own DnD! Never mind about what I said before! it'll be sick! Ahem.. must control myself. Minimum emotion... awesome update, thanks charlie
Hmm... let's see if I can keep this thread alive:
Poll #3: Who will you vote for Off-Topic Discussion President?
Heathy.
If we were going by posts, then yes. He is the candidate with experience.
a. What is your favorite type of gaming?
b. What would you do without this type of gaming?
