This mod just wanted to make me want to play D2 again. Did you say way less grinding? Did you say actually getting all the really great armor and weapons without needing to grind for them over and over again until you get some with good stats instead of complete garbage? yes, sign me up

So, my five-year-old is a future D&D player. She told me to get down my Legos so we could have a fight. She picks the red and black guys (of course. They have a wizard and a fucking dragon) and I get the blue and grey guys. We each have a castle, a catapult, and five guys.

Her roster:
-wizard
-fighter
-2 knights
-dragon

My roster:
-princess (which I retroactively declare to be a sorceress)
-2 fighters
-2 knights

As far as I can tell, my compensation for not having a dragon is an extra fighter. Awesome. I guess my catapult is a bit bigger.

So, we take turns declaring what each of our guys are doing (and resolving via MTP and mutual agreement). After three turns, my princess and lone knight book it out of there invisibly because my castle, catapult, and other three dudes are in ashes.

Well played, Jane. When in doubt, play the wizard or fuggin dragon. Also, when in doubt, try to get your wizard to take multiple turns (she even understands casters and action economy!) Looks like she already has the fundamentals of the game down.

A) My GM lets me play an Ur Priest in Pathfinder and in the last session I was given the role of raising the party members that die as skeletons due to a level 1 Cleric spell that turns a corpse into a skeleton, then after I used Reanimation on a PC the GM ruled anything I reanimate is automatically Awakened, permanent, and under my control, but possessed and can "go berserk" reminding me of Golems from 3.5

In other words, until I get Resurrection, if more than the 2 already dead PCs die, I can raise them as skeleton slaves until I get Resurrection spells, at which point I will kill their skeleton forms, fix their skeletons, restore the skeletons to lifeless bodies, and resurrect them. While they are my skeleton slaves, the players can play as their dead characters, but if I give them orders they have to follow them and they have a 5% chance each round to "go berserk". Normally his ruling would be more broken, but all of our enemies so far are Constructs so I can't mass-animate an army of undead. As for "divine casters" in the party, the only other one is our Paladin without access to spells AND we are using the Nordic gods for our campaign, he worships Thor, so the GM might rule if he becomes a skeleton that he can keep his paladin powers.

B) I got a good car for $300 ^^

I'm guessing you probably have to play to actually get to add in any new content, and i'm also guessing there's probably going to be an item market of sorts, or they'll go the DDO route and actually add in new classes and such that you only get by paying, which would suck major ass. I'm all up for them putting up an item market where you only sell vanity items or items you could otherwise get inside the game itself overtime, but actually putting up major game elements to sell in the shop? At that point, you can just make it pay to play and it'll at least be much fairer to the game community at large. Tl;dr is that as long as they're selling *time* then it's fine, i don't actually play MMO's for anything other than killing time, so the longer it takes (as long as it's fun), the better. Let the suckers pay all the cash they want.
