It is not munchkin for characters to realize the effectiveness of and then repeatedly reuse an extremely successful tactic. The players agreeing not to use such anticlimactic tactics is, in and of itself, proof that the caster dominance does exist unless the casters or their players choose not...

Just me, in two groups of 6, with one common member between them.

This sheet looks great, and it's so far, my favorite of the Excel sheets. I did have a few comments to add, hopefully to make it better for everyone! Dragonborn Heritage. Cell H20 should probably read " =ROUNDDOWN($B$19/4,0)+(IF(AND(A6="Dragonborn",H13>0),H13,0)) " instead.Stats. The only...

Convergent linguistic evolution. "Outcaste" already exists, and in fact means pretty much exactly what you wanted it to mean. :) http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/outcaste http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=outcaste&x=0&y=0 http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9057743/outcaste...

Great spreadsheet! One thing I might suggest adding (I did this for my own copy of it) for future extensibility and individual customization: I renamed the MM Entry column "Entry", added a column before that labeled "Source" (and fill with MM1 for everything here), then hid both of those plus...

It is apparent that the decision was "object hit points, especially with material hit point multipliers, is all we need for object hardness rules." That the stat "Hardness" is not in the DMG does not mean object hardness rules do not exist; it only means that those rules are not the same as...

This significantly downplays the much larger problem with multiclassing which was glaringly evident from day 1: It works better for some classes than others. Like, better on the order of "makes some classes drastically better" vs. "makes other classes worthless". To demonstrate this, answer...

You might have missed the refutation to this in the other discussions going on, but... The hp/object rules are for objects.For the purposes of hp/object rules, doors and walls are not objects.Doors and walls have separate rules listed prior to the hp/object rules.The door and wall rules include...

This. It also means that this bug: is one of two things. Either the players misjudged their resources (by blowing all their encounter and daily powers on the weaklings leading toward the BBEG), or the DM misjudged the difficulty of the encounter (by setting, for example, a level 4 party...

So... It makes business sense to let a third party, who might have chosen not to go to the new version of your game at all, continue to publish the magazine intended as direct support of your game's current version? I loved the Paizo Dragon and Dungeon. I was sad to see them go. I'd have...

Why would you take the level 1-10 abilities from your multiclass instead of taking one of the paragon paths for it? Wizard with Student of the Sword can take multiclass feats to swap for fighter exploits, then at level 11, instead of taking "Fighter", they can take "Kensei" or "Swordmaster" and...

I know this has been mostly settled after discussion and debate, but this could very easily have been answered right here. "Unless otherwise noted, only on what healing surges are used for by definition: "When you spend a healing surge, you restore lost hit points to your current hit point...

At the very least, I want to use one as an NPC or villain, and name him "Barrage".

That's only applicable if you ignore instant attacks. For those, you want the main hand weapon to have the highest max damage so your instants do more damage, and the offhand to be as fast as possible (within the same dps) so you have more attacks likely to apply poison... Woops, wrong board...

I know you've already changed games, but someone might read this and misunderstand things based on certain points. This is not true. The specific statement was that there wasn't a 4th edition planned "that required the use of miniatures". Whether that happened is arguable (some claim it does...
