    [Humor] New Stealth Rules from the Rules Compendium

    This Rules Update went live as of April 1st, 2009, but was not discovered until recently... Stealth Page 188: Replace the shaded text with the following text. Stealth: The check is usually at the end of a Marketing action, but it can be at the end of any of the corporation’s actions (Standard...

    On homogeneity, or how I finally got past the people talking past each other part

    Having taken a day to really consider this, I think I have pegged it for myself. My room analogy, was, in retrospect, not the best constructed analogy, so I will try again.... :) In 4E, you are told to go design a living room. You can choose wood, stone, brick, or plaster. Regardless of...

    On homogeneity, or how I finally got past the people talking past each other part

    What I am trying to get at is that, in this discussion, there are two fundamentally different types of personalities. Unless, or until, you try to get into the skin of the other, you won't get their argument. I was trying to help both sides try to do just this. I just thought of another...

    On homogeneity, or how I finally got past the people talking past each other part

    Admittedly I did not get past page 3 in the how to remove homogeneity from 4E thread, so I don't know if this ever got picked up on. Also, I am a 4E fan who never understood what all this talk of homogeneity was about. But this post helped me understand far better, and several posts after by...

    The select a race/class/etc don't do anything to the fields and the hit point total is wrong. Am I doing something wrong here?

    A talk on the concept of "failures" in a skill challenge (no math, comments welcome)

    I think you have hit on the fundamental flaw in the skill challenge system (regardless of math). Skill challenges should be a game of resource management (get a failure, lose a healing surge as you loose grasp of the rope and fall, lose 10 gold as you find you cannot charm your way pass, but...

    Dragon article -- Class Acts: Wizards

    Most interesting (to me) is that there are several powers that do Psychic damage, but do not have the Psychic keyword. Which may call into question whether a melee power being used with a flaming longsword will indeed get the fire keyword just because it does fire damage. It looks like damage...
