If you have the Character Builder available for chargen, the Living Forgotten Realms character guidelines are implemented as a campaign profile. I downloaded the official RPGA documentation, but never really read it in detail; the LFR campaign option in the CB is all I need for legal LFR...

This reminds me that I need to go stick the first season of Red Dwarf in my Netflix/Xbox instant watch queue... ;)

Thread necromancy makes Baby Tenser cry.

There's some synchronicity with Earthdawn you could crib from too...

I thought it was interesting that twisted pair copper can apparently transmit dragon breath effects, even if severely attenuated. Unless.., the lower planes already have a fiber rollout!!! :eek:

I'm enjoying my blinkelf assault swordnerd immensely. B-) I may retrain Frigid Blade out for Lightning Lure; when I created this character, I wanted a strong weapon-keyed at-will attack. However, after playing this guy for almost 5 levels in LFR, my basic melee attack is virtually identical...

I can definitely see where the closest question can create confusion. Areas and moving 1-1 are easy and intuitive, even if they are not realistic. Closest, however, can create situations where obvious 'inaccuracies' occur. Are there other classes besides ranger and warlock that run into that much?

Great thread. Regarding no consequences for bad/no tactics... Meta gaming aside (even if your character would use superior tactics from a roleplaying perspective) there can be a tendancy to over-focus on optimizing your every act in combat, sometimes to a ridiculous degree. I often see this...

There is room for smaller, or more specialized/differentiated MMOs. EVE Online and LotR seem to be doing fine; Warhammer Online also looks like it has some legs, and may escape the burnout fates of Tabula Rasa and Conan.

1. Its a pretty dark twilight landscape of the village rooftops and upper stories, credited to Rob Alexander. 2. 24 pages, B&W interior booklet. Card stock cover (color outside, B&W inside) with an excellent map of Hommlet and complete 3 story layout of the inn. Plus a color foldout encounter...

Here's another vote for iplay4e: CB + iPod Touch + free wifi + iplay4e = smooth gaming. Everything I need to take with me tonight to play AGLA1-1 fits in my dice bag. Much love for iplay4e! :cool:

Mechanically, the simplest way to grant special damage that avoids head regeneration would be a separate damage track. Both tracks would count towards bloodied/death status, but the special track would not count versus Regenerating Heads. A modest pain in the ass for the DM, but it is a solo...

I think hybrids are exactly the way to do racial classes.

Speaking of which, somebody really needs to grab a license from Double Fine Productions for Brütal Legend. This game cries out for the 4E D&D treatment; Tim Shafer's metal mythology setting is incredible with awesome-sauce poured on top. The sub-cultural overlaps are too synchronous to ignore...

Must.. update.. character.. builder...!
