"Gas-haters"?

Is this yet another SE IV subculture? Where are they? Who is their leader? What connection do you have to them? What capers have they pulled/failed-to-pull/covered-up?

its like min/maxing every stat in your race
or min/maxing your character in ad&d
why do you have 18/100 str???
'cuz im l33+'

obvious backlash eh?

[Loser]

Actually, there are Small and Tiny Gas Giants in FQM...

Anyway, I guess I see what you mean, all except the 18/100 STR, my experience is strictly 3rd ed.

[Cirvol]

the latest fyron does have them...

but for the longest time, there were none http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

18/00 (or 18/100) str is like having 'almost' 19 str... which in the old Version of ad&d was really not 'mortal' ;p

just look at your own experience with Version 1.x FQM games... isnt gas the predominant type?
