Or is it something related but of neither devil or demon. I never quite understood the origins and the meaning of the term. ..............................Omote FPQ

Crunch (ugh) (pthooo) I keep biting into this crunch crap when eating my 3.x meat. Sometimes a descriptive word is just that, and does not imply a specific set of game rules behind it. i.e. if my character calls someone who mugged him a rogue, even if the mugger is a fighter class, my character is still correct.
