I LOVE muchkins.
If I make a phys-ad, he's gonna have a 12 in something. Is that wrong? If my troll phys-ad has blades 6(12) and 8 point ambidexterity with kung fu and whirling, it's because he trained his life to be the best. I can roll play it. I've been a normal guy shooting a gun or getting in fights or sneaking into or out of places (nothing criminal, except the fights I guess). Why the hell would I want to role-play it? And why do all the pre-made adventures have 6+ set fights if it's not about combat? I'd appreciate it if you'd all get over your uber-geek dreams and accept you're a regular geek, like me, and it's OK to roll 18 dice against each of 8 attackers, on their turn. |
