I don't have my lifetime copper subscription. My case is a little more complex, as (after checking with Morrus) I chipped in the difference via Paypal.

Direct damage spells got nerfed into the ground, and physical damage and armour got increased. Having said that pretty much anyone who generally plays a single archetype is claiming that they've been nerfed and another class makes them redundant. :hmm:

Can't you buy the Electronics skill group, then use some of the 28 'normal' skill points to split the group and raise all of the individual skills? That's two levels on the all skills in that group, even if they do not end up equal, and six more points for other skills or specialties.

If these feats are not an attempt to fix the math then are simply too powerful compared to the other +1 hit feats (which have no scaling). They furthermore fly directly in the face of what feats were initially described as - they are in fact textbook examples of the sort of feats we were told 4E...

Almost everyone in this thread so far has missed the point completely. Read that again. That's "find". Not "have a chance to find". If the party walks past an item that is part of the treasure packages in that area, then it is the DM's responsilbility to put that item in again somewhere...

Indeed. IMO the voting fluff is the wrong way around. White is what strains my eyes, not black.

The heart of this argument boils down to one simple question: "Does the Divine challenge that ended this affect the new Divine challenge started this turn?" In other words, when you start the turn with target A challenged, and challenge target B, does the challenge on target B work differently...

Well, if Diplomacy is that powerful in that DM's game, make sure you have it maxed out on a PC to have similar impact on other NPCs. If the DM refuses to allow it - THEN you have an argument. Plus, since the DM is only supposed to let characters sell magic items for 20% of magic item cost (so a...

Or you can say that the missed minions got singed, but didn't get burned directly from the flames, and so survive. Remember - the 1 Hit point thing is an abstrraction so they die in one hit. You can still describe them as bruised and/or singed, just not Bloodied.

It's only confusing when the paladin tries to use Lay on Hands on themself. Look at what happens when they cast it on somone else and the reason becomes clearer. Without that wording, you would have the power healing both the paladin and their target: Step 1: The paladin spends a healing...

Of course he does - the power clearly states that you need to spend a surge to power it. He just doesn't get healing from the surge in addition to the lay on hands - just the lay on hands.

And watch the enterprising party start churning out dozens of ritual books to sell for whatever the market can bear? No thanks.

Keep in mind that the exchange rate returns the buying price of a weapon one plus lower, exactly the same as in 3.X. They've just changed the rate at which the price of magic items increases, and changed the market from 'lots of sellers, lots of buyers' to 'few sellers, even fewer buyers'.

Complete personal opinion, which I disagree with. Trying to simulate the physics of a world was IMO the biggest mistake 3.X ever made, due to the complexities and inconsistencies it introduced. The Devs have clearly stated in their blogs that they are not doing that this time. And housecats...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of a housecat doing one hit point of damage. Cat scratches aren't fatal. When's the last time someone was killed by a clowder of cats? Is that crazy lady with two dozen cats in her house now a deadly force? If you can't imagine something...

Regarding preparing a Martial power, note that the spellbook class feature specifically refers to spells, not powers. Martial powers are called exploits, not spells. So multiclass wizards with martial powers can't put martial powers into their spellbooks, because martial powers are not spells.

You've missed the point. Nobody's morphing anything. The Legion Devil in your example does not suddenly bulk up or gain a more robust cardivascular system. The Legion Devil doesn't have one hit point because he's a Legion Devil. He has one hit point because he was put into the encounter as a...

The "regain no hit points" clause is there because otherwise Lay on Hands would heal the paladin AND his target for one healing surge. If the paladin tageted himself, it would heal him twice. Without "regain no hit points": Paladin spends healing surge (regains hit points) and heals target (who...

One with no fighting skills. Never picked up a weapon or strapped on armour. Doesn't have divine investment or arcane power. Just a weedy little clerk with delusions of grandeur. Easy to hit, easy to kill. Except, in this case it's probably a really, really bad idea. ( Killing tax collectors was...

Your quote proves my point. Or would you like to explain how, in character, a particular Kobold is "designed to fill out an encounter"? It's an encounter design concept, not a world simulation one.
