They take up the same "slot" but I have personally worn bracers while weilding a shield in RL. I can not find any clarification of how they (or say goggles and a helm or an amulet and a cloak at the same time). Do you just choose which is "empowered" in the slot each short rest? I was...

Perhaps the single best item a 4th ed game needs, these are awesome tools, but when my wife went to buy me some for my birthday, the online store was down (error message). As these guys out of business? Thanks, Ken

As a note, from my experience, Rape is the #1 no no in a D&D or any roleplaying game, especially if there is a woman in the game or anyone has a daughter. Grewsome deaths, torture, pretty much everything thing goes except this, which is just too touchy a topic. I think it is because of how...

LOL, after the first day I forgot about it till the which classes do you dislike thread where I effectively reposted it. I thought this thread had been lost to the wind. And Jack99 is correct, the original scenario I proposed would not work cause of the stay within 20 rule of conjurations...

Really? Try this one: Battlerage Vigor How did it get through? Because at times things do not get playtested enough, are changed at the last minute or are the pet projects of the designers (last one is rare). From my experience writing games and modules, things can and do slip through.

Voted for the Shaman. If I had realized I could vote for more than one, I'd of also voted for the Invoker. The shaman is the second most broken class in the game (next to the Battleraging Vigor Fighter: fighting 2 million minions at once since 1st level and still winning!) The shaman has a 20...

Just to clarify, I think the shaman is broken, but the artifiicer is IMO, not broken, I just do nto like the flavor of it. Up to the shaman, it was may least favorite class overall, but now the shaman is. As for reading as opposed to playing. Sure that is always the case. However can you see...

Poll is about the total sum of the class. Mechanics + Fluff + Brokenness + ease to run + reduction of fun for everyone else in game + everything else, i.e. and overall opinion. Often times people just have a gut feel for the class they dislike the most. That is what this poll is about. I...

Ok so looked at the shaman and unlike the other broken aspects of 4th (battlerager, I'm looking at you) the shaman is the first which breaks from the internal balance of the game and is not just some combination or "Extra" which was not playtested well. It is a fundemental aspect of the class...

Wizard Alterations Here is what we did in my group and it has worked out awesomely. It has greatly enhanced the game and made him feel like a controller. a. Thunderwave knocks prone on a critical. b. Ray of Frost is a maximum of 2 squares movement, period (the way we originally played slow)...

I have found this very much to be true. Had a friend who "read 4ed" and wasthus an authority on it. "just a tactical skirmish game" was the response everytime people talked about it. I have a strong suspicion a good number of people who dislike the game had an experience where someone...

The post and the suggested solution's thread is here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/246993-mearls-controller-design-will-balance.html

It started when we found the time ecessive to do so in 3rd ed. A few times throughout the years we had 1-2 people "take over" the game in many ways by becoming the tacticians. However the real reason it came about we freedom of the players. They liked the idea that I would leave the table and...

So I’ve now run 2 campaigns and lots of little 4th ed sessions. What intrigues me is how much different the two were and what the end results have been on the player’s interest. The discussion moves in and out of 4th ed specifically but hopefully will give insights to others as they go to play...

An oaken warrior, attunded to nature. Kind of a swamp thing whom can change between his angry face and normal forms. The Robin hood legend's mentor would be an example. The creatian bull from the hercules story would be another.

Actually, I do not agree. Fighters can... and often do in my games, mark at range. The warden can ONLY mark you if your adjacent. If you then run away he can pull you back in (I like that he seems like a writhing clump of roots and bark). Wardens do not come close to being strikers, I've...

I've been reading reviews, playtesting, and otherwise pondering the 4th ed druid. So far it is hard to say why anyone would ever play a wizard over a druid. Role Creep at its worst. Anyone have a difference of opinion? If I am stuck on combat, transforming allows them out of the primary...

There you have it. Useless. Insanely useless. We've been playing as 2 squares period, except for forced movement, and it is a wonderful and balanced ability. Ray of Frost is often used to stop runners and is on par in many ways with some of the other spells for wizard. Definately not...

The others I referred to were the 3-4 other people whom responded to this thread. I think the issue is the CSR is giving out different responses and thus no concensus has yet been reached as the offical response is split in itself. I wish ya luck in getting offical clairification. See ya, Ken
