The Gamers/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* I dislike how the powergamers are portrayed in the second movie. Not only are they completely 2 dimensional assholes (you can be powerful and still have character), but just how incompetently they're played. I mean, scoffing at initiative? There are enough ass kicking builds out there that going first in a round means no one has to (or gets to) go second.

** Huh, I don't remember any scoffing at initiative. Anyway, even if I'm misremembering that, their behavior was realistic (I've heard stories of ''non''-powergamers behaving similarly) and they didn't remain static -- I actually thought it was pretty impressive.

** Don't forget that the ending hinges on him finally using his class features properly.

** Also, it's hinted that Leo has really bad luck with characters. One of the others said that his bard's first death broke his old record for shortest life.

** It's intended for [[Rule of Funny]] but a serious look at the movie can show that Lodge apparently goes out of his way to target and kill Flynn, well before Leo escalates the conflict with the 50 spare character sheets. Between the goblins (twice, not counting what is apparently a friendly fire incident), apparently friendly fire from Silence's melee attack against the zombie ninjas, an incident where one of the bad guys kills him for the sake of showing how much of a threat he is, and...Sir Osric accidentally killing Flynn, the poor Bard ended up dying no fewer than six times. Looks more like Lodge has it in for Leo's character, or he's also forgotten that Leo's playing something other than a tanky Fighter.

 

** They specifically called it an ''unlimited'' wish which was granted directly by a benevolent deity they just saved. She did waste that wish.
