My DM actually recommended item creation and the "Mage of the Arcane Order" prestige class. Must say, the idea of being able to switch spells on whim? It sounds very very nice. And I'm deadly curious to see what his ingame solution is for item creation... So many choices.

I was actually kinda interested in them. I know that they're very powerful, but are they a lot of fun? Right now I'm going for a Divine Oracle/Loremaster thing to make a wizard who'll double as a priest of a God of Knowledge. Although I suppose I could make two more builds that focus on those...

So, I'm going to play a Wizard in 3.5 for the first time and people are advising me to play a Diviner (specialist in Divination) and giving up the Evocation school. Apparently this is a very good combination. While I'm quite fine with becoming a specialist instead of a generalist (especially if...

I voted Eladrin, but only because they're more like the Exalted or Changeling the Lost kinda Eldritch Elves rather then the WotC kind in my setting.

I absolutely loved it when playing Necessary Evil (super villain game)

Thief-acrobat split class? Is that an option for people who want a class from a previous edition? Or the Acrobatic one from the Martial Power book?

I agree, I know a Warlock that would do 19 DPR with his at wills, at level 11. Mind you, this IS the lower part of the spectrum since many feats, items etc simply aren't allowed which lowers the DPR quite a bit. Otherwise we'd be looking at something just over 30 DPR. The guidelines given...

On the character sheet you print out after making a character with the character sheet you see 2 boxes while with other daily powers you get 1 box. That basically suggests that you can use it twice in a single day (probably within a single encounter). Maybe you use the power once per day but it...

I don't know why people are still worrying about fluff. They get annoyed by it and then people try to break the laws of plausibility trying to defend it. Perhaps people should just realize that 4th edition is simply going to be crap when it comes to fluff. There are and there will undoubtedly...

While not creepy... a bit meh. I just don't like memorial statues. I can stand them when they're for important events but, not for people. His name is printing in every edition of DnD. Now that's a memorial I like.

Shockingly, they didn't quite understand this. Despite having not playing DnD before either. My first sign of this was when they burned down a cottage. With a woman and child inside. In the middle of a town. Next to an inn. And they were STILL surprised that the encounter was unbalanced. Rest...

Wait wait, isn't one of the more common reasons for adventuring getting money? Even within WFRP? The easy spoils weighed against the horrific danger. All in all shouldn't they earn at least as much as a mercenary or such?

I'm GM'ing a Warhammer Fantasy RPG game (second edition) this Saturday and I as wondering if I could draw from your experiences on a few questions I had. One of DnD 4e's best points is that it has very solid ideas on how much treasure to give and how many monsters they can handle. How do you...

I'd allow it as a house rule though. If you invest two turns into attacking a minion it should die. That's two minors and a standard action.

Worthless at real life: He just isn't good at anything really, except for this whole adventurer stuff Avoiding responsibility: the adventurers life has its downs, being burned, frozen, kept captive and sometimes going long times without seeing the light of day or decent food. But you never have...
