Immortalized D&D Quotes
« on: June 26, 2015, 06:26:49 PM »
Sometimes we find a particularly poignant, fascinating, of just plain weird statement that we must show it to others.  Sometimes they're brought up specifically in certain topics, but for the most part there aren't really lists for such things.

Which is why I made this new topic pertaining to this purpose.

This one I found on reddit about how 3.5 druids can easily break the game:

Quote
Consider the 8th level druid. Now, an 8th level druid can do many things, like cast spells or shapeshift, but they also get an animal companion. At 8th level, their animal companion is likely to be a brown bear. Now, a Brown Bear gets 3 attacks a round, is Large (he gets free attacks whenever anyone moves up to him), has a 27 strength, and can make grapple checks as a free action whenever it hits you. An 8th level fighter, for comparison, can only make 2 attacks a round, although he probably has better accuracy and AC and he should have more tricks to use than a bear.

But that's just one of the druid's abilities. The druid can also turn into a brown bear. So every time she wakes up in the morning, whatever else she does, an 8th level druid is, at minimum, 2 brown bears.

Except one of those brown bears can cast spells. There's a feat in the PHB that lets you cast spells while wildshaped without any penalty at all. Oh, and any magic cast on the druid automatically affects its animal companion for free. Druids get many, many spells that benefit animals, so this is a useful power.

So a druid is like two bears, each of them capable of more attacks per round than a fighter, except both bears can fly (Air Walk), both of them have magically enhanced claws, and one of them is throwing lighting bolts and and turning the ground to spikes and summoning more bears.

That's caster supremacy. One guy gets a sword and armor, the other person is an aggressively hegemonizing ursine swarm.

I may post others, but feel free to include your own.

Sadly I do not have enough time to recount my entire posting history.

I'm just a little curious here, how did you come up with 18?

Also, DMG, page 128's table, entry #100.

Two year old has his first ever, and rather massive, ear infection rendering me utterly insane.

Yeah... We'll go with that...  :P

Anyway, 9 is also crazy, but I bet that DMG page says I can't has bearz.

"My entire body is a masterwork weapon"
