Yeah, I'm sure they're totally unaware of the angry crowd that doesn't like 4e, and talking to one random member of that crowd will somehow convince them of its magnitude and importance. It'll be a waste of time to open that can of worms and it won't change a single thing. Might as well use...

Wow. Okay, given that this is legit, is there any chance we can limit the conversation to topics that actually might receive consideration by Leeds? Going in with a rambling diatribe about 4e isn't going to do anything - it's going to result in WotC ignoring anything constructive that may be...

It's going to be a base class. ;)

Woot! That is all.

If you're going to quote me, take the quote in context. What I said was: I did not say they did not get input, I said their interview made it sound as though they did not get input. Take your snarkiness regarding telepaths elsewhere. Again, if you read my post, you would see that I have...

Well, thanks for taking the time to post here. Even if you can't give answers, having a presence on the various online communities goes a long way to keeping us engaged. The complete silence after the annoucement was painful, particularly given the rather sterile press release. I guess I had...

I submit that you did a pretty poor job of communicating any plans to indicate that you are not, in fact, floundering. I'm a regular on the Paizo boards, and have spent the past week or two defending WotC. End of the day, I figure that you know what you're doing and that what you're doing is...

Too bad it's still a move equivalent to pull that scroll of feather fall out of the backback though. *splat* ;)

This is from memory, but I believe you add +20 to the Spot DC for invisible Hide checks. Check out the Rules of the Game articles on the Wizards website. There are 3-4 dealing w/the topic of invisibility in some depth. Edit: So the DC in your example would be the Hide check +20, which would...

Huh. I had been pricing the wands as d20 = full price d12 = 3/4 price d10 = 1/2price d8 = 1/4 price I guess it should be d20 = full price d12 = .6 price d10 = .36 price d8 = .16 price I never considered that I was overcharging for the lower dice wands. Then again, I don't necessarily mind...

For those who find that the skill does not slow down play, could you please describe how you are using it. Are your players writing down the wrong values for their items? Are merchants making their own appraise checks to determine how much to offer? Just saying 'we use it and it works'...

Does everyone use Appraise as written? I'm a pretty by the book DM, but for my newest campaign, I decided to strike the skill from the game because the marginal increase in realism isn't worth the bookkeeping. My basic beef with the skill is that it is an interruption in the flow of...

I don't think that's a good idea with this rule. It changes the nature of the feats from 'use an extra charge' to 'sacrifice the wand' in most cases. A wand with a d10 represents a half charged wand under this system (25 charges under the RAW). Under the RAW, a feat that requires two charges...

Thanks Borlon, Primitive Screwhead, and Nim for running the numbers. I haven't applied it to staves yet (haven't gotten high enough level to get one under this rule), but I probably would. For items that use multiple charges, I would roll multiple times. I've played with the rule for a...

Before I begin, a quick explanation of a house rule. Rather than keep track of charges, we randomly determine whether a wand's charges have expired (using a "charge die"). A fully charged wand uses a d20, and on a roll of a 1, it degrades to a d12, a d10, and finally a d8. (As a side...
