By my reckoning there are 17 choose 2, or 136 different combinations of hybrid characters available. Yet WotC states there are 272, according to the design & development article... Seems odd to me that WotCs number is exactly twice mine... can someone good at stats explain where I'm going wrong?

I wonder what people would say if a 3pp released a race with the following abilities: +2 to any ability score +5 to any skill +1 to every non-AC defence choose either: +1 to hit, increase to +2 at 15th lvl, +3 at 25th lvl; or to increase non-AC defence bonus to +2 at 11th lvl, +3 at 21st lvl...

So, it appears there are some irritatingly unclear bits in the PHB. Can anyone (preferably someone official) shed some light on the following: A fighters Cleave and Reaping Strike powers both reference [W]+Str as base damage for a hit, plus Str damage to an adjacent foe (for Cleave) and Str...

So, my questions for WotC about the demise of Dungeon & Dragon magazines got me wondering: What proportion of the online community did WotC expect to buy into their digital initiative? Which in turn, made me post this poll - so are you interested?

Here Is it just me, or do you guys sense another visit from the lawyers? ;)

In Dave Noonan's article about designing the GenCon D&D delve (being discussed here), he mentioned that "we need a unit of measurement for game-design complexity". Anyone got any suggestions? I'm thinking bugbears (abbreviation "bg") would be good one... ;)

First things first: I don't want to start a discussion here about whether or not the Warblade class (from Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords) is balanced - there are plenty of threads discussing that in both the Rules and the General Discussion forum. If you feel the Warblade already is...

It surprises me that no-one else has posted about this yet (maybe everyone's busy reading them), but: Tome of Battle: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20060802a Dragons of Faerun: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20060802b Some good stuff in there... two books I wasn't...
