Annoying gnomes?

Like Jan Jansen. I prefer to have a halfling in the party before a gnome. Mazzy was a great halfling.

I'm quite the opposite. I like Gnomes, and I liked Jan. I won't even let Mazzy in my party for a second because she's a Halfling.

 

Of course, I hate Grobnar so much, you must guess why I keep making statements at to his actual race.

[Dark_Raven]

LOLZ gnomes suck. Grobnar, Jan and Twikie & Short Round (gnome brothers from a player back in the PnP days.) they just suck. Death to gnomes!

[Darque]

I agree, they're right up there on the level of Drow-suckage.

[Dark_Raven]

The drow are the best thing to ever happen to D&D!

Yeah, yeah.... like all the other mega-munchkin races

[Calax]

exactly how is this on topic?

[alanschu]

I imagine it's something Darque hates about Fantasy RPGs. Mega-munchkin races.

Isn't it strange

Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror

What would people say

If only they knew that I was

 

I was born in the underdark (dark-dark-dark)

Born to be an evil and mean drow (drow-drow-drow)

Always in some perpetual fight

Then I realized it sucked and went to the surface, wow

 

I think I'm a Drizzt clone

There's a bunch of us on the server now

I think I'm a Drizzt clone

'Cause scimitars are getting rare now.

 

Look at the way

Our fighting styles are same

I guess you could say

I'm my own sparing partner

 

I still remember how it began (gan-gan-gan)

Read that book from that Salvatore man (man-man-man)

Reading about Wulfga, Bruenor, and Regis that night

Then that drow really struck me in that moment of truth

 

I think I'm a Drizzt clone (a clone now)

There's always two of me Silverymoon

I think I'm a Drizzt Clone (a clone now)

Now I just to need to get my own figurine

 

I think I'm a Drizzt clone (a clone now)

And I can stay at home while I'm in a dungeon

I think I'm a Drizzt clone (a clone now)

'Cause every pair of scimitars is a hand-me-down

Drow are good races to play. The only bad drow is that munchkin Drizzt.

Which also means.... 90% of the player made characters, that are actually Drizzit clones.

Don't you make me sing it again!

Glad I fall in the ten percent then.

[Walsingham]

I liked Viconia, and BG2 made me see Drow in a completely different light. I _DO_ recall Drizzt from BG1, and I tell you it was literally hatred at first sight. I spent more than 24 hours before I killed him. I din't even know if it was possible, but I stuck at it.

[Dark_Raven]

Viconia is awesome.

 

Drizzt is easy to kill. Have someone that is good at pick pocketing, pick him of his weapons, than have your party surround him and force attack him.

[Tale]

The only Drizzt clones I see are troll characters designed to piss off people who hate Drizzt clones.

 

I've made a few of them, myself.
