In honor of gnomes being removed from the set of PC classes in 4th edition D & D, J!NX is now selling this amusing
t-shirt. The idea is sweet and I was prepared to order one immediately after I saw the blurb in the J!NX e-mail, but unfortunately I don't actually like the graphics that much. I might still get one eventually because the idea is just that cool, but for now I'll wait.
I think you mean PC races, and while they were removed from the PHB's list of PC races, they're in the monster manual's list of races that can be used by PC's. The difference is that they don't get quite as long a blurb describing them. Oh no!
ReplyDeleteYup, there is indeed that bit of silly word substitution in what I wrote.
ReplyDeleteI'm still amused by the shirt, as they are gone from the 'default' list after being there forever.
Yep, I still like the shirt too. :) Just a bit of a peeve what with the message board overreaction to the missing gnomes.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been reading the message boards. Usually I feel like I don't get much out of that stuff (across the board, for all topics and most situations). I only look when there's something specific I want to look up, such as the deal with the book "Dragons of the Hourglass Mage". (In that case, I found out there was a year-long delay, and I only looked up when my shipment got delayed without a new date.)
ReplyDeleteI have only read thoroughly through page roughly 80 of the PHB, but my current reaction is that overall I don't like the changes because of what I perceive as much less flexibility. (The writing style of the book also irks me. It harkens back to the 'this is the vision we have' rather than promoting player creativity.) Or in some ways it now feels like fighters, etc. have spells. Note that the above is tentative in that I want to actually try playing under this system first, but overall I'm not particularly pleased with the overall revamp at the moment. I don't care about the gnome thing. Given the phrasing in your post, I figured there was some reason behind it. (After you posted, I looked to see if I wrote anything inflammatory. And I hadn't, so I figured there was something else.)
