    Mearls is the new manager of D&D

    Thought about starting another thread, but since the title of this one isn't 'Congrats Mr Mearls!' I figure comment on the appointment is legit. Then you probably missed the bit up-thread where we asked people not to turn this thread into an edition debate. While I understand the sentiment...

    Subtle Rule Changes

    Well, this is now off-topic, and we should probably move it to another thread, but... The issue isn't wizard vs fighter. I guess the example progression I suggested was misleading. The point about the wizard crafters I've seen optimally played is that they don't just create items for...

    Subtle Rule Changes

    Bill - he's not that gung-ho, really, in PC setup terms anyway: he's starting with a 16 Int before racial adjustments, and he's only invested 2 feats in crafting.

It is an unusually tricky creation. (But possibly not at hard as...

    Subtle Rule Changes

    Salth - quite right; it's not a change at all, now I check 3.5. (seems a bit odd in both editions - why keep CL as a requirement for arms/armour, and let it slide for just about everything else? Is a +3 weapon more taboo at low level than a nifty miscellaneous magic item?) The 7 for 4: the...

    Subtle Rule Changes

    Lots of little subtle bits and pieces: * Stats: a 7 now gives 4 spend points (this is one of the few changes I dislike) * Races: Gnomes get a few small leg-ups (heh); Sylvan for free, and the aforementioned speak with (all) animals and class level cantrips. * Classes: - Barbarians get more...
