Rocks are tough. Very tough.

You probabaly cannot cut one with a knife, or even a Katana.

The harder ones will even shrug off blows from most hammers.

But they don't "do" much.
Just kinda sit there and look tough.

Yeah, you can pick up one and throw it at someone.... and it'll hurt.
In fact, it can kill! Throw a big enough rock, or a small one with a lot of force, and it can definately kill!

But...that's about it.

You can't do much else with a rock.

They don't sing.
They have no herbal healing properties.
I've never seen a rock on a stage trying to do a magic trick.
Never caught one sneaking into my house and trying to take something...

They aren't even much fun to play with.

So....when I imagine being someone else....something else.
When I imagine having a cool, interesting, glamorous, adventurous job or lifestyle...

I have never....

had any desire...

to be a rock. :cool:

yet there are many types of rocks. Ask any geologiest (spelling?)

when broken
some crack
some flake
some turn to dust
some get sharp edges
some get nics
some split

rocks different appearances
some are dull
some are shiny
some are clear
some are pink
some are green
some are green

rocks can be used by them self, but are best served with combined with other things to do wondorus things.

Just like people rocks can not be put into one mind set and condemed or praised for being what they are.

When I was a little boy, (when I was just a boy)
And the devil would call my name (when I was just a boy)
I'd say "now who do,
Who do you think you're fooling? " (when I was just a boy)
I'm a consecrated boy (when I was just a boy)
I'm a singer in a Sunday choir
Oh , my mama loves, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me

When I was grown to be a man (grown to be a man)
And the devil would call my name (grown to be a man)
I'd say "now who do,
Who do you think you're fooling? " (grown to be a man)
I'm a consummated man (grown to be a man)
I can snatch a little purity
My mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me

And if I was president (was the president)
The minute congress call my name (was the president)
I'd say "who do,
Who do you think you're fooling? (who do you think you're fooling)
I've got the presidential seal (was the president)
I'm up on the presidential podium
My mama loves me
She loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me

Fade out:
She love me, love me, love me, love me

:D

saddest thing is, most of these rocks took a very, very, long time to get where they are today, forged with materials gathered in the most hellish areas of the earth. they could have specs of gold, silver, platinum, even diamond- but it's forever wasted in a rock that sits there and does.... nothing, but sit there, unchanged.

pity. under the right circumstances a rock could easily become a gem (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=294454&highlight=meathelmet) that could contribute so much more than just sit there, and stand the test of time and environment.

Yet without a certain rock we would all die. In fact, without it life itself would be impossible. Salt, the only rock we eat.

now how are you defining a rock? As a mineral? cause there are plenty more minerals that we need to live.

just sayin.

You are seriously over thinking this. All I said was that without a certain type of rock (salt) we would die. I don't think a comparative analysis of over 30,000+ minerals is needed.

Rocks don't kill people. People don't kill rocks either. People kill people.

Hey stranger :) I've been busy with work and all that jazz, so haven't had much spare time. I'll try to get on this weekend for sure, I'd like to see what the new class is like. Have all 10 char slots filled, so if I decide to roll one I need to shuffle/delete. Inventory management:my 2nd full time job.

Miss you guys too and will talk to you soon.

Is the OP alluding to the next race in DDO? I don't like it one bit, it would have waaaay to high of a DR!

Let me be the first to say... "rock will be OP! Nerf it now!!"

Would be a nice race for pro pikers though.

Two minor points....



They don't sing.

Salt can be a rock, and we can't live without it.
