Neither I nor TK wanted to duel, but once TK believed his name would be mud if he didn't accept, he felt he had no choice, if for no other reason than to avoid the scorn of his father.

That was actually awesome. The player uses a deep, brook-no-argument voice that is pretty loud to start with and this came out like a real bellow that silenced the rest of the table. Alas, it had no impact on Laarus. Fist-to-face negotiations had to take care of that. ;)

If I may speak for another poster for a moment, I think he or she is saying that most attacks done by these classes in most fights (unless there are a lot of Warlords in the party or a high incidence of opportunity attacks) have a magical effect in adition to the attack, thus making them more...

1[w] means roll the damage for the weapon, no modifiers. 4[w] means roll the weapon damage 4 times, and add it together, no other bonus.

I re-read this and wanted to comment specifically on this. In your scenario you are absolutely right. However, I can make plenty of other scenarios where the wizard has an equal shot due to the specfic circumstances the PCs are in. Perhaps the wizard is more screwed but I doubt the...

I think you can argue it either way. Does it say in the rules, the wizard cannot re-write his spells in a new book if he loses the old. If it doesn't say that, then in your example above, the wizard would spend 5 more gold than the fighter for a new spellbook and then spend a couple more days...

I am going to stick to my comparison of spellbook to fighter or paladin armor. In these examples, the classes have more power flexability than the wizard, but I think they have almost no chance of fulfilling their intended role of defender until they replace their lost armor with something...

Unfair in what context? If they have their spells lost forever, that is really harsh. I would think once they bought a new book, they could then over time scribe their spells and rituals from memory (or for more "realism" with the help of another wizard, arcane library, etc.). In the case of...

This is an observation rather than useful to anyone. ;) My D&D groups going back to late 2e (prior to this the games I played in had more magic), that I have enjoyed have all been quite low magic. I even ran a Forgotten Realms game that was pretty low-magic (obviously it stopped being the...

All in my game group are registered expect one player. A lot of them joined to comment on the Story Hour being done for the games we play in.

Ha! Thanks for the clarification.

I saw that but thought it said "does extra damage" rather than "adds +1 to damage" or something more sprecfic. I might have missed it though. I will check when I get home. Thanks.

Fear? How do you mean? Are there 2-handed powers under fighters that damage opponents with fear/intimidate or whatever? I saw that mentioned somewhere, looked at the skill descriptions and was confused. As we are starting the one-off at 1st level I have not gotten past 2nd level utilities and such.

Hello- I am going to be running a 4e one-off for my game group (we are in the 8th year, 2nd campaign of our longest consecutive play in a home-brew world 20 years old) and I have been having a lot of fun converting old characters from this gameworld into the new system. The issue I am having...

We need to waterboard our goblins for now on. I might chip a nail.
