My guess is monks will have stances which will allow them to apply different mastery traits to unarmed attacks. So say the Savage Whirling Monkey Stance will allow them to apply cleave while the Iron Mountain Ox will allow them to apply push. Names totally my invention, though there SHOULD be a...

The Wand of Vecna.

He played Sir Gawain, so he's the hero.

If they can change thief to rogue, they can change monk to mystic. Monk to me conjures up images of guys in robes chanting in Latin.

Makes me think of an old 80s movie called "Sword of the Valiant" starring Miles O'Keefe and Sean Connery. Any true grognard has seen it at least once.

Finally, dog people. You can't go wrong with dog people.

I think I'll create a necromancer called The Groovian Goolie.:D

I would like to see them truly grasp the differences between Greyhawk and the Realms. Too often, Greyhawk is seen as being just like the Realms, only with different kingdoms, different gods, and easier to pronounce names. But the differences are more subtle. The Realms are highly detailed...

Right now I'm playing Next, 4e, and Pathfinder. I am enjoying them all. My favourites of all time include BECMI, 2e, Conan, and Fantasycraft.

+1. Monsters can be fun.

It varies. We play in the local FLGS, so we often have one or two people jumping in who don't have a regular group.

Without munchkinish cheating, 10. With cheating 15.

Generally, I like the art. I love the creepy looking old man look the gnome has. There are too many pretty boy races as it is. However, I detest the oversized axes. I would much rather see axes like the Vikings actually used.

Actually, there were oodles of them. The Broken Lands had rules for playing all manner of savage humaoids like orcs and trolls, the Creature Crucible series covered fey, undersea races, lycanthropes, and flying races, The Hollow World setting added even more races, not to mention those that...

I think maybe a mini packet like the magic item one. Perhaps the paladin (we all know Santa is lawful good:)), a revised and expanded equipment list (lots of toys), and the gnome (because we all know who Santa's helpers REALLY are:lol:).

I want only two things: 1. A game which lets players play the type of character they want to play. 2. A game which lets DMs run the type of campaign they want to run. In other words do not make decisions for us which ought to be ours to make and then embed them in the game.

You could also argue that intelligence should be the key stat for clerics since many knowledge skills are iconic for clerics. Since a cleric gets his power from prayer and meditation, wisdom makes much more sense.

Reading some of the dinosaur/behemoth thread, I decided to start my own monster name pet peeve without risk of threadjacking. It's djinni/djinn and efreeti/efreet, NOT djinn/djinns and efreet/efreets. I understood that when I was a teenager. Today's young folk are just as smart as we grognards...

Haven't been around for a couple days, so its good to see some good thoughts! Fixing encumbrance is a good idea. Perhaps a simple three tier system would be good? Light-up to 5x Str. No penalty. Medium-up to 10x Str. Reduce move by 5. Heavy-over 10x Str. Reduce move by 10 with disad on...

I would like to see both fighters and rogues get more maneuvers, but as they level up not right out of the gate.
