    Then again, I could follow the known unknowns, so I think it makes sense....

    Why yes he can pull **** out of the air like that, a common critical technique known as exaggeration. D&D is truly not a good system when it comes to rules (and especially when it comes to realism...)

    You know, this article is really, really, really out of date: 20 years before 3E came outl, and 23 before 3.5E did.

    So there. D&D isn't screwed up anymore because people play 3E now. My justification. :p

    So.. what u are basically saying is that you are a nerd if you have memorized every single rule into every tiny little infinitely small detail?

    Of course not :)

    Roleplaying alone enforces the nerd tag upon you already. No need to know the rules to the tiniest detail to get the name ;)
