Page 156: Many of these items tend to make their possessor reclusive, secretive, arrogant, and/or greedy. These effects are best to handle through manipulation of the player by means of powers, non-player characters, etc. --- I guess I mentally extracted that artifacts have personalities...

Seriously?

The sword of Kas has an Ego of 17 IIRC. And the hand or eye immediately turned the wearer to NE. And, I think all the orbs of dragonkind had egos. The DMG didn't say exactly what every artifact's purpose was, but it was very clear that Artifacts had the goals and personalities that meshed with...

I have no issue with creating a feat that subtracts 1/2 of half-your level from a specified skill to satisfy the method actors. Better yet, I'll let method actors Take 1, on skill checks. :D

4E is a point by system. WotC spent most of them, and presented you with 8 builds. The question implies that a Fighter casting rituals is as good as a wizard casting rituals. No and No.

Huh? Artifacts have been sentient since 1E.

No he can't. He still needs the Divine Ritual Feat. (unless it was a scroll)

Why? Not enough opportunity to shoot yourself in the eye with a crossbow while riding a snowmobile and drinking a Leinie? ;)

As one who uses the word regularly (look south, I'm waving from Chicago), I disagree. Back to lurking.

Oh, and she was playing Feederz on head phones, because she's punk-f'ing-rock.

Mostly agree. However, I do not like that magic items are in the PH. I would not vote d-bag, because the individual responsible has not committed some heinous crime. In my mind, she's a dashing rogue/hacker, who snuck into the WotC compound, and after disabling the guards with charm and sleep...

Anyone casting rituals if freaking awesome! Now I can play a rogue-scholar. Or an Elric inspired adventurer. EDIT: You can also remove Arcane and Divine power sources entirely, and very easily run a conan-esque game. Very, very, awesome.

I agree with the OP that 4E seems a little limited. Considering the page count increased greatly for non-spell casters, something had to give. At 320 pages, the PH is still a hefty volume. However, I wouldn't worry too much that the wizard's capabilities were limited, or that the list of...

Problem is, one score starts at 8, so you have to pay 2 points to bring it to 10 before raising it higher. But what you can do is something like this: column A: List attributes STR through CHA column B: Titled SCORE: Is the desired Ability Score column C: Titled COST: is the cost [cells C2...

It's definitely not about price for me, I have disposable income. I'll agree that Curt and Games+ is an exemplary example of an FLGS. Curt is the iconic game store owner while at the same time being just a stand-up nice guy. In fact, I still have fond memories of being applauded after losing an...
