Kobalds

EQ lowbies visits AD&D kobald camp

Lb1 rouge: (Peers over a wall) *Whispers* Damn there's 50 of kobalds in that camp only.

Lb2 warrior: *Whispers* Let me check. *Peers over the wall* Hmmm, we should get our guild out here so we can break this camp

Lb1 rouge: Are you sure that our guild can take out this camp? Look there must be at least five shammies not including a wizzy or two.

Lb3 druid: WoW think of the phat lewts if we pull this one off, successfully.

Lb4 cleric: Hmmm the kobalds do look kind of wimpy to me.

Kobald: (from behind) RAWR!!!!!!!

All: EEK! A KOBALD RUN!!!!!!

Kobald camp: Intruders ATTACK!

All: TRAIN!!!!!!!!!

(Five minutes later our group of adventurers get surrounded by kobalds)

Lb1: *Sneezes* Ten kobalds die.

Lb2: What the!

Lb3: WTF!

Lb5 wizard: *Punches a nearby kobald on the nose* you have slain a kobald.

Lb2: Sweet! *bitch slaps 10 kobalds, all ten kobalds dies*

(Five kobalds turned around and flee, but only to die by tripping over a root).

Lb3: WTF all we got was 50cp, lousy xp, and a rusty toothpick.


AD&D lowbies visits EQ kobalds.

(Exploring Sol b)

Lb1: *Snickers* Look they say this is a high level dungeon. My ass look what they got kobalds.

Lb2: We will rule this dungeon.

Lb1: Hey wizard why don't you toss a mm at it?

LB3: Right, one kobald stew coming right up. (Cast mm, hits kobald but only to annoy it)

Kobald: Hey Murine get the fly swatter out.

GAH! Writers BLOCK!

What's a kobald or a Murine?

And what does "lb" stand for?

Kobold?

Lb = Lowbie (I'm too lazy to spell it out).

Murine is the other kobald's kobold's name.

Ah STFU and enjoy.

Kobolds are actually quite powerful, especially as magic users. If you look in the earlier boks, you'll see they're actually only one step removed from dragons, closer than lizardmen and most other races. Yes, they have barely any hit points, but they can be massively powerful if the DM plays them to their greatest potentially.

A D&D Player vs. an EQ Player

Let's meet our fighters...

Parcelan: Hi.

Freschel: hi

Let the fight begin.

Freschel: frist i wold like to start by sayeng that eq is better than AD&D b/c eq has monsters with a lot of hp and i dont know how to the comma and apostrofee and period keys werk so dont ask me

Parcelan: ARGH! YOU'RE HURTING MY BRAIN!

Oooh! Devastating first attack by the EQ'er!

Parcelan: Does it bother you at all that your game has no depth, no hope for progress, does not build any sort of skill mental or physical, and is widely played by doofi?

Freschel: notat all depth and hoep and all those other bigg werds u used make me think and thinking is bad b/c it makes my hed hert

Incredible! The EQer has shrugged off a potentially lethal attack!

Parcelan: I see...well...take a look at the graphic for Lord Nagafen...

Freschel: yeeeeeess...

Parcelan: ...and take a look at the art for a real Red Dragon.

Freschel: OMG!

Freschel's head has exploded from realizing that there is something cooler than EverQuest!

D&D Wins!

Err let me guess third edition kobolds are stronger than first and second edition? If they are, let me get my foot out of my mouth first. I thought AD&D kobolds were always a wimpy race. What do you expect from a 1/2 HD creature. I wasn't saying that EQ was better than AD&D. I was trying to be... hmmmm... ok it wasn't funny. I was failing to compair AD&D kobolds with EQ kobolds. Sorry my bad. I should think I should go and get the third edition rules before I shoot my mouth off, and start spouting out ignorant stuff. Oh wait I can't afford to buy 3rd edition. I guess I won't be posting stuff about AD&D. Bah, forget it, I'll post them either you like it or not. Here's a glass of stfu.

One more thing, I never did say that EQ is better than AD&D.

(I know I'm going to regret this)

Tut. Usually, I derive no pleasure from attacking someone too stupid to know better, but I think I'll make an exception for one as numb-skulled as yourself.

Here's a few tips for your future ramblings:

-Constant misspellings are not funny.

-Comparing one thing to another is not funny. Have we ever laughed when Snoota says Snoota > all?

-You are not funny.

You likely never will be funny, either. To be funny, you'd have to make some sense in your writing. As it stands, you're likely too stupid to pick up a book to learn to make sense.

You aren't likely to understand the complexities of D&D, either. A kobold couldn't be an advanced sorceror or rogue, and it couldn't have tactics, could it? No, it must be a wimpy little monster that only knows frontal assault.

Well, monsters are only as good as the mind behind it, junior. And, as evidenced by your slack-jawed yokel drivel, this theory holds true.

Now, crawl back into your toad hole and re-learn your ABCs, jimmy.

Though I will agree with Parcelen, albeit a bit less harshly, that your English skills, or at the very least your typing, really does need work.

Grammar is important. We can't laugh if we have no idea what you're saying.

The key point Freschel forgot that is an assumption in other comparisons of this sort is that you adjust things. A kobold in D&D 3e has a CR of 1/6, meaning six of them unmodified would present an equal challenge for a group of level 1 adventurers. At one time.

Can a group of level one EQ characters take on a train of six kobolds at one time? I think not.

EQ spreads things by giving you more HP to play with, but things do more damage. Convert things into one system or another and D&D characters are actually tougher on average, and certainly much more versatile.

Seriously compairing EQ to AD&D is like compairing Al Gore and my neighbor.

Just doesn't work.

Jesus Christ, Parce, if you don't like it then just don't read the goddamned thread. You might make a bunch of these things, some which are completely stupid IMO, but you you are not the end-all, be-all of these kinds of posts. If you don't like the fucking joke, then don't read it. There was absolutely no reason to post what you did in the manner you did except to be an asshole, but then again, you can get away with that, because it's just "how you are", isn't it?

Huh. I was wondering when your bitter, sour face would pop up to try and take revenge.

You should really try to let go of the past, my friend. It will make you look far less pathetic than you've made yourself out to be.

Anyway, I felt offended by Freschel's post. Ergo, I made a biting joke. Ergo, he reacted. Ergo, I reacted. There's my reasoning.

I'd reply to your logic, but I don't feel like wading through a sea of bitterness and hypocracy just to make a fool out of you when you've already done it for me.

Come back when you've gotten over yourself, dear. I have.

Tah!

That was not a biting joke, that was you being a jerk. So what if it's misspelled? Would you like someone to follow you around and point out every grammatical mistake or misspelling you make? So it wasn't that funny. Then make a post like Deth, calmly explaining what you think is wrong. It offended Deth, too, but do you see him biting off Freschel's head for it? Nope, because he knows how to handle himself and be constructive with his criticism. What you posted was an outright attack, like you usually handle things, and there was no call for it.

By GOD! You've pointed out what's wrong with society today: THE WORLD ISN'T POPULATED BY DETH!

Believe it or not, jimmy, we're not all like Deth. And *gasp!* Deth isn't perfect, either!

I'll admit that the latter one was an attack, but I maintain that it was provoked. The original was a joke. You probably can't see it when you've got a redwood up your ass, but it's there.

As to whether it was funny or not, well, it may have been, or it may not have. Why don't you ask Deth? He obviously knows everything.

By the way, you might consider seperating your thoughts in these things called 'paragraphs'. We tactful people do it all the time. It's RADICAL!

In your case, however, I wouldn't advise posting again. I don't look forward to reading flames that could have been written by a blind and dyslexic pangolin while at the same time being subjected to how great you think Deth is.
