To much dialogue and not punchy enough to make it on that alone.

Oh noes they might take d8+wis mod damage!11!one Seriously, its an extra ongoing damage source that is easy to avoid. It opens up some tactical options for the players by allowing them to put pressure on the enemy from angles that wouldn't otherwise be possible. Its not game breaking and its a...

I have a large selection of D20s for different situations. I've got one that tends to roll higher but rarely ever 20, another that has a more even spread, one for those rare occasions when a low roll is preferable (or someone I don't like needs to borrow a die). My last die has a higher than...

It only affects those who end their turn next to the guardian. So in a hall of width 5 they can easily move past it on the outer edges or go straight through if their move will take them beyond the guardian. It isn't much of a big deal at all and they won't die they just take some damage and...

Not when you have as many attribute bonus as 4e. Dex is a tertiary stat for a fighter and I'd probably work it out to be 15 by paragon level. Initiative is quite important for a fighter to get into the thick of things before the enemy has a chance to act. The bonus to AC is also pretty...

I don't currently have a regular group so I'm pretty well placed to go straight into 4e. I haven't really played enough of 3e to have any particular loyalty to it and the new edition seems a lot more intuitive once you get all the old mechanics out of your head. After meeting a few other people...

Our DM played the riddle entirely differently; there wasn't a riddle as such at all as far as I could tell. Which sort of made it harder until the rogue just used his thievery to open the obelisk. I think he let it slide that way because he had introduced an extra encounter before we entered the...

I'd go cold. It sort of plays against type for a dragon and it can be pretty useful if your GM allows you a bit of creative freedom.

Did WotC make some digital content that's actually worth having? Gasp, the world must be ending.

Forgive my ignorance, but I haven't heard of milestones before. What are they and how do they work? The problem with daily item powers is that low level items can be easily bought in large quantities by high level players. The same problem exists with potions which is why they got nerfed in 4e...

The two main issues that keep coming up are balance and class roles. I don't see either of those as inherently mmo-like. Balance: The theoretical perfect RPG should have all classes balanced in such a way that a player can choose to play the character he wants and not be mechanically penalised...

My problem with the lack of armour proficiencies is that the cleric has lots of "hit it and buff/heal your team" abilities. These builds become less viable because you have low AC but still need to be in the thick of combat. You can say "just take the feat" all you like, but the wisdom cleric...

Well if you take one line out of context of the rest of the post then you'd be right. Problem is that my opinion was not only heavily implied in that line, it was made abundantly clear in the rest of the post. Being snarky only works when you don't make yourself look like an idiot at the same...

I suspect you either don't know what QFT means or you just didn't read my post. You've basically stated the opposite opinion. Maybe you were being sarcastic, I hope so. Plastic minis are great for monsters and the like, but it just seems a bit lack-lustre for a PC or important NPC. Not to...

I don't think it jumped the shark. It changed and some fans became alienated, it also gained new fans and many people are highly enthusiastic about it. 3e lost some players and gained some, so it isn't any different really. Just the same trouble that we've had before, but everybody forgets that...

At my FLGS they sell like hotcakes. Before the shop moved to their new location an entire wall was dedicated to them. Prepainted miniatures never really caught on here for most roleplaying purposes. When its a choice between a flimsy piece of poorly painted plastic and even a semi-decent metal...

Personally I'd dump dex instead of int. Int is useful for his rituals and several of his skills. Then again my initative rolls are notoriously poor so 1 point of dex modifier never helped me :P

Basically I just want NWN3 so I can have the online content. I never bothered to finish the second game but I played multiplayer a lot. I've got more into tabletop RPGs though so it isn't really necessary any more.

My LGS(www.thegamersguild.co.uk) is doing a 10% discount if you turn up on the day so thats £54 for the box set. Doesn't quite match up with the £40 from amazon but I'd prefer to support them, especially given how much effort they're putting into WWDnDD. Of course if you don't have a local shop...

I find it hard to believe a sling could hurl a projectile with lethal velocity as far as a good longbow. Or any kind of decent recurve for that matter.
