There is certain methodological problem with doing surveys o so long as you get mostly positive results. Let me ilustrate. ================================ You have 1.000.000 players of DnD. You publish first survey. Half of the players participate. 50% (250.000) likes it, and 50% (250.000)...

I fail to understand why people who prefers an information on monster role has to search for it in some table or something. Does the people who prefer the "story" feel insulted by this information present in the monster stats? And why? Please explain it to me. I do not understand.

There is no need to improve attack bonus. They might improve abilities (once per 10 levels or once per 4 levels or whatever) and thus improve your abilities slightly.

That is my feeling exactly. (And at this time 4e seems to be overworked as it it, no need to add to that...:( )

I must say I am bit sceptical about all this. Despite the fact I respect Monte Cook, I was not fascinated by any of his works so far all that much. Also his new proposition for a skill system which I don't like even slightly makes me even more sceptical. If I am not mistaken, Monte Cook was...

I must say, I am a little bit scared about the implication of things Mearls is talking about (not only in this article but in the previous ones as well). The "scaleble system" sound great at first. You can make your game "your own". But on the other hand, there will be less shared experience...

Thank you all.

Dear EnWorlders, I am wondering about some powers, its effects and such things. We have bard and cleric in our group with powers: Timeless Trek in Mithrendain (Bard 5th level, DRG387): Effect: The target is banished to the Feywild (save ends). While banished, it is removed from play. Now...

The link works for me.

Well, I suspect that because this is the case of different effects which save separately. But I am not sure, of course.

Hello, I am not quite sure about this rule (PHB3, glossary): We are not in agreement (possibly due to the fact we are not native speakers) what does "identical effect" means. If different powers cause same condition (eg. dazed) does that mean, it is identical effect? Or to provide an example...

Well... and now I am back to where I was before. :.-(

Ok. Thank you.

Hi. I wonder if ability Dirge of Inescapable Doom (Bard Paragon Path - Grave Caller, AP page 20) modifies the encouter power or it is effect on itself. Or to put it more clearly: Is the miss damage just: 1d6+Cha modifier Or is it 1d6+Cha modifier + all the modifiers one would have with the...

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you hope to create this -6. As far as I know, Vicious Mockery provides just -2 penalty. (Plus this one its -4/-2 not -6/-4). If there is some other way how to make this more devastating, I am interested since I play bard...
