I've only seen 2 trolls, and I don't think either of them have posted for a while.

Point of logic. If there is him and 4 trolls, the only local conclusion is that you are one of the trolls. Simple maths
What is that baseball bat in your signature? Oh! It's a lightsaber! How cute is that !

I would say that most people would agree with that.

Appearance only? Then yeah that I hazard to say most would agree with as well, but clearly less then the above.

But what if it's a big upgrade for my companion? That's not a matter of appearance, it's a matter of function.

The issue is, that in order to deal with that case, it requires more and more rules regarding when you can or can't roll need.

I believe the simple answer is, if it is a upgrade for me, then I roll need. The fact that it's only useful when solo, or equiped on my companion doesn't matter. I didn't join that FP for the sake of getting gear that improves me in group only situations, I did it to get gear that will improve my character period.

you know, if you use the quote button, you might be able to actually preserve context of a discussion.

of course, since you mostly are just flinging poo and bringing up irrelevancies... I guess you're not really much into preserving context, eh?

sorry to butt in here, but you don't the game progresses, it doesn't revolve around that one encounter. You roll on loot to improve your enjoyment of your character from that point forward...which a companion is definitely a part of.

The game doesn't just end with that one encounter.

Meaningless, baseless babbling with no factual backing, I'm shocked. Semantics refers to arguing the same thing in 2 different ways. What you said was simply incorrect. That isn't semantics. You being a doctor/lawyer/psychiatrist, I'd think you would know that.

I'll do that when you manage the same.

I'd point out that I haven't actually stated my opinion on what my personal preference is for loot distribution are, at all, or that anyone else should be using it, but you'll ignore anything that doesn't allow you to babble your way through a thesaurus, reference conditions with improper terminology, or otherwise be contrary for the sake of it.

No, I don't agree. I simply refuse to continue arguing. If you look back, I probably have over 100 posts in this thread. Needless to say, work has been slow today.

Conversely, if the item is not an upgrade for my main character or the companion I adventure with, I do not press Need.
