Alaan impressed everyone with:
Something that is funny, though not really relevant. You can actually get a prestiege class at level 2. Forsaker from Masters of the Wild only has Lightning Reflexes, Iron Will, and Great Fortitude as the reqs. Human Fighter can take them first level.
That's because Forsaker is the suck.

Thats what Ascetic is. The voluntary poverty. And you would take all 10 levels of Forsaken. That gives you fast healing and 10 extra stat points. Voluntary poverty gives you all kinds of crazy bonuses as well. And the monk has a non-magical self-heal on top of that.

If you wanna be a munchkin, you don't need prestige fuckin' classes. A human fighter with a polearm and Whirlwind attack at L4.
I know someone who always plays a human fighter.
Always.
I'd think he'd be bored of hitting things by now. Not to say they aren't a good class or anything.

Duom .
I'm not too fond of fighter type characters though. I prefer casting magic missile... at the darkness. 
I am blessed with a friend that seems to weasel out every single abusive rule out of 3rd edition.

i was wondering when that was gona come up. *Drinks some mountain dew.*
I'm thinking of Reina Majiss, an Air Genasi (or if that race isn't allowed, Moon Elf) Sorceress. She was born with natural talent for magic like many of her people but she sometimes has trouble thinking before she says things sometimes, causing her appear abrasive and stupid at times. Truthfully, she's very intelligent and tries to have a positive attitude. She's very loyal to the friends she manages to keep.

That's why you get a gnome or halfling to share your space with you in combat. You take care of threatening the area 10' away, while he takes care of threatening the adjacent area. and if an enemy without reach wants to get close enough to attack either of you, BAM, two attacks of opportunity.

Rodent King had this to say about (_|_):
I'd like to give it a try, I played a few games as a half elven warrior. (Rolled like two natural 20's when roling his strength if I remember right, lots of fun) In any case, I'd like to give this a try sometime.
Would of been natural 18's. Dunno where the 20 came from since Half-Elves have no str modifier.
Save the logs. At the end of each session, save the main chat log, and all the private player conversation windows. Name each file with the date and the player name, and save the main channel window as MoP (maiden of pain) with the date. Make sure you have timestamps turned on for your IRC client. That way, you can see what happened when. It's very useful later on, if you want to keep track of what happened when, or if a player misses a session and wants to know what happened while he/she was gone.

*Shrug* It was like 5 years ago when this happened, it lasted a single night. All I know is my guy could like, break heavy doors without me even bothering to roll.

Taylen wrote this stupid crap:
If you had a very forgiving DM and were running on the 3ed version I suppose you could roll natural 18 for str then borrow 2 points from elsewhere to make it 20, don't know who would let you though. Of course under 3rd edition you could also have put points into str every 4 levels so at level 8 you would have str 20, or could have items that make str 20.
I don't think 3rd ed. was out 5 years ago.

Nope. 2000 was the copyright date. And if memory serves stats like 20 were nigh impossible to get in 2E/AD&D

Before magic items, you could only get above 18 if your race had a modifier.

If I remember right, the highest racial strength modifier was only a +1, or was limited to a limit of 19. One of the two, it's been a while.
I just remember for sure that there was no real way to start at 20 strength on a naked, non-magically modified, character in 2nd ed.

Unless you played Dark Sun. ^.^
Most characters in that had 20-25 in a few stats. But thats cause they had to grow up in a very harsh and brutal world that if you weren't the best you could be, you would be dead long ago.

I don't mind either way.
We're piloting a boat (A rather.. NICE boat we paid like, 50k gold peices for) to an island for some stupidass wizard (Why wizards can't do shit themselves, I dunno. But anyway.).
We got a layover in some magical swamp. After fighting off four or so spiders with one vial of greek fire (Webs are flammable! Lolz), we found a house.. and a basement with some vials. Identify didn't work, so we just drank. One of our clerics turned into a troll.. we dispelled that. The other cleric got a permanent 1 HP/turn regen (Or something), I got weightless (With an 18/93 strength, that sucks major ass.. especially as a straight fighter...) and dispelled.. then the first cleric got fairy wings.. and after some practice she could fly with them (Hell, she's a 4 foot 9 elf.. she IS a fairy).. then I became permanently invisible.
Sucked when we came to the last town we were going to see in a few years.. I had to get painted with a special berry extract, and I was purple the entire time. 
At least with some elven boots I'm somewhat silent.. uh.. 5% of the time. Haha. I'm such a horrible fighter.

You might as well announce it here, that way people won't think "She just hasn't sent my PM yet."
