we spent some time together making D&D versions of everyone in the family which was an absolute blast for all of us.

Seriously, send that one back. Keep rerolling until you at least get 10's across the board. Originally Posted by Morningfrost

As for the watching cartoons comment...I would SO rather my kids be playing a game on the computer, be engaged, figure things out, READ (he learned a ton of reading playing DDO and Wizard 101 with me), and think rather than veg'ing out passively watching cartoons. It's not that watching cartoons is bad...it's just that kids get so much more from playing games then watching tv. He's 6 and he can estimate 4 digit addition and subtraction from playing Wizard 101 and paying attention to how much damage it takes to kill things.
As for the answers that makes sense. It is just on a 20 so the only time I could see it is when survival is the top goal. When he's alone he pretty much sticks to running normal (since I won't let him group with non-family) and when we run together I have a character to haste him so I could see this as an option in some really nasty quests. I just wonder whether dr 4/- would be better anyways for survivability.
to be fair, I have a 3 year old who, I suspect, may very well be playing games like this at 6 or 7 at times also. He already plays games on kids sites, can totally navigate Webkins Jr., Caillou, and other stuff. He's good with a mouse, can log people out and himself in, open firefox, etc.
Thing is, his computer time = tv time. He gets an hour or so a day and although generally he just wants to watch 'cartoons' while he eats - if he decides he wants computer time he knows he won't get TV then.
I completely agree that controlled online gaming isn't a bad thing. Not so sure I'd want him playing an adult MMO like this...but the concept of playing a game like this wouldn't bother me in the least. Like Dark said, your brain gets used a lot more in video games then watching the boob tube. There isn't a single skill gained from watching most TV.Stabbius Maximus, halfling rogue returning after like 12 years.
