I think IM has some promise. We'll have to see how the focus groups on the different aspects of play besides inquisitorial acolytes play...

I think this is exactly my concern. You have the books and don’t play it. These aren’t vanity exercises. What happens to the 4e line...

I agree. Near the end of AOW I was using creatures with CR 23+ for routine encounters for my 17th/18th level party. My concern is that...

Good history of the franchise. I’m a little confused though. Are you saying there is no reason to worry about the fact that the studio...

It's not at all the same as auto touch, auto full effect with no save. Apples do not equal oranges. No. The argument is that you...

Talk to the designers about that one. But from a sheer balance perspective, there should pretty much never be an auto success for a hit...
