If you get to specify exactly what happens, then you're roleplaying a god, not a character.
In that case, Mand, I'm in total agreement. I've just heard the "D&D exists so that polyhedral dice manufacturers can stay in business" so much lately that I immediately jumped to that interpretation of your edit.
I actually have a D&D variant that I got from the Diablo 2 CE (I think) that used only d6s. I haven't played it, though. But, I've heard people wish for a d6-based D&D system. I tend to point them to GURPS when I hear it.

We summoned a devil once. All we used was the D&D books, too. It was pretty kwazy.

You are not a moral man. There are not enough middle fingers in the world for you.
"Heroes"...I wish I had those. I remember in my first-ever campaign one PC went around shootin all the unconscious baddies in the head to gain Dark Side Points...
Whaaaaaat?!??
Wow...way to waste perfectly good potential slaves.
Er...no wait I mean..uh...something not evil!

First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that.
1. Cleric cast protection from fire on Tank. 2. Tank goes in and get surrounded by enemies. 3. Wizard cast fireball and blows them up. 4. ??? 5. Profit
I go by the saying," If it ain't friendly fire then it's not working."
why would anyone want to do that, cubes are boring
Heh. I've never quite grasped people's affinity to polyhedrals. They like dice merely for their shape, even if it has nothing to do with the roleplaying. I guess it's kinda a tactile indulgence.
It seems akin to liking hexes for their shape... even though staggered squares are mechanically the same thing (and easier to work with when dealing with our ubiquitous right angles and cardinal directions).
