We converted our pre-existing 3e campaign to 4e in Feb. '09 with the characters at 14th (4e) level. Last night they made level 27. At epic tier, I'm doing a fair bit of lowering hit points and raising damage, especially for solo and elite creatures (which there are a lot of when converting...

Quick Shot is only effective with hand crossbows. Not so great for assassins who want to be throwing daggers or shuriken. Shuriken in particular are strongly nerfed between the removal of Unerring Shuriken and the modifications to Attack Finesse. It would indeed be great to see some editorial...

Your poll also doesn't allow multiple choices for those of us running multiple campaigns. I went with Eberron as it's my longest running game, but I've also got games going in Dark Sun and Golarion.

Very glad to hear it. The one place I strongly felt 4e was a regression from 3e was in the move from general Cleric domains to deity-specific feats. I was glad to see Domains make their return to 4e, and look forward to getting enough Essentials domains to nicely flesh out the Eberron deities again!

I'm pretty sure Henry's referring to the two tables shown on page 4 of the July 2010 rules update, "Damage by Level" and "Monster Statistics By Role."

Weekly: D&D 4th edition Sporadic but ongoing: WFRP 2nd edition Dogs in the Vineyard Didn't list in the poll, but we hit from time to time: octaNe Paranoia XP Hopefully starting sometime soon: Eclipse Phase Dark Heresy Spirit of the Century

The Dicenomicon is a pretty full featured dice roller I'm just starting to get into. I'm hoping this will be an app that'll fill the void left by Dice Pro for Palm since I left that platform long ago. D&D doesn't have very complicated dice needs, but if you play other games, it's nice to have...

Wait, then who was Public Enemy's Minister of Information? This is all so confusing.

Regarding "Anyone can have a Dragonmark!": Since even Hellcow seems to be talking around the point a bit, I'd like to point out the following line from the Eberron Campaign Guide posted yesterday on WotC's site: So yes, your Warforged character can carry the Mark of Making. You now officially...

Perhaps, but I think it's more likely that we're just seeing changes similar to those the gnome underwent from the Monster Manual writeup to the full racial writeup in PHB2.

Thanks much! I have a couple of questions, if you'd indulge... - The Battlesmith artificer previewed in Dragon was Int primary, Con secondary. What's the secondary attribute for the Tinker? - House Orien's mark in 3rd edition allowed for some limited in-combat teleporting (dimension leap). The...

I'd like to play: Spirit of the Century (I've played a game at DunDraCon, but I'd love to get characters made with my regular group for pick-up play) Shadowrun 3e (I have very fond memories of our first edition game in college, and I miss my dice pools.) For comparison, we're playing D&D 4e...

Well, I haven't completed an AP yet, but we are almost to the end of Chapter 6 of Age of Worms. We took a hiatus after Chapter 5, and we've converted to 4e beginning with Chapter 6. Advice: read well ahead. Think about how PCs are expected to make the transition from one chapter to the next...

4th edition, WFRP, and a bit of Dogs in the Vineyard if all goes well.

Our campaign has over the past decade wound up with our own particular defining characteristic for halflings, based on the original 1e racial traits, and supported nicely by the 4e halfling stats: Halflings have a ridiculous capacity to survive the most deadly circumstances - circumstances...
