    I can't keep doing it

    I can't keep giving them money if they're going to keep doing this every few years. I'm finished.

    Ampersand: Debut and Exclusive Content (Assassin Class)

    I think the assassin will be exclusive content because its name contains a naughty word 2 times in a row. Think about it.

    Monk Preview

    What if the monk's implement was a focus item like prayer beads or a talisman of some kind? Wouldn't this simplify the monk's unarmed enchantment issue as well as allowing for bonus magic item fun to be applied? It could allow for increased unarmed strike capability without having to dust the...

    Improvised Weapons and You

    There aren't any problems in the game I just keep thinking that a guy picking up a broom shouldn't hurt someone as bad as someone wielding a longsword. Proficiency aside... Maybe I'm overanalyzing this. I guess it goes back to not thinking about hit points in the same way. Getting hit with a...

    Armor Specialization (Plate)

    Let's just make a feat where fighters can use any other stat they want to add their modifier to their AC while not wearing heavy armor. Then everyone can wear hide armor and put the armorers out of business.

    Improvised Weapons and You

    Does anyone else get the feeling that improvised weapons do a bit too much damage? Especially the two-handed variety. Should picking up a random object and hitting someone with it do more damage than a hand axe? Or a short sword? I understand that proficiency doesn't count here, but I think the...

    A solution to Piracy--Navy SEALS!

    Let's just lure the pirates into getting between an angry hippo and the water. I saw Hippos on Congo and they were really pissed. And then they cut up the apes with a laser. Ape lasers are soo cool.

    WotC puts a stop to online sales of PDFs

    If you want a pdf borrow your friends book, scan it and send WotC some cash in a plain brown envelope. If you don't want the pdf and do want the book, buy it. If you want the pdf but don't want to pay for it, download Pathfinder.

    Gamers vs Companies

    Does anyone here know execs at Wal-Mart? They could compete with Amazon and get WotC to make inexpensive versions of their books, maybe by printing more words on each page, using lower quality paper, and getting rid of those pesky illustrations. Everyone lives near a Wal-Mart, and if you don't...

    Healer's Lore and Healing Word

    I hate to be the fly in the ointment but technically healing word is a class feature, "The cleric has two class features that work like powers: Channel Divinity and healing word." PHB p62. But on the preceding page under healing word it says "Using the healing word power,". Ambiguous... yes...

    Fool's Grove: The Gnome's Back (With Friends)

    I for one am very glad that Wotc has maintained the tradition of April Fool shenanigans dating back to the TSR days in Dragon mag. Some of those issues have been my favorites. Also, I now finally have an excuse to dig out my Ral Parta flail snail miniature... that I got on sale... in the mail...

    Another Cease and Desist Letter: 4E Powercards

    As far as the site receiving the letter that's too bad. I'm sure you worked very hard to get everything up and running smoothly and it was enjoyed by all of your users. I wished I would have checked it out myself. That being said, people shouldn't complain too loudly because anyone can buy a...

    Can anyone explain Masterwork Armour?

    I'm of the belief that they didn't realize how bad the heavy armor users were hosed by the RAW concerning stat bonuses and that they after the fact threw in this jumbled mess to remedy the situation. I think the whole business would be easier to understand with reworking the light/heavy bonus/no...

    How to kill a blue dragon?

    Poisonous dwarf I think the perfect idea would be to force feed the party dwarf as much poison as he could possibly take preferably after getting him thoroughly intoxicated. Then have him lay down in a field under the dragon and wait for the dragon to eat him, get sick , and die. Then take the...
