I very much recommend against this. Remember that wizard is the most expensive profession in the game. Except for the starting spells at 1st level, and the 2 free spells each level gained, it costs 100gp per spell level to enter a spell into your spellbook. Want a new 3rd level spell so you can...

With this proven flaw, which way do you suspect the results are skewed? Ah: "Do it better." How do you suspect the results of a "better" poll would compare to this one? Please hypothesize for us.

No doubt. But it doesn't mean people aren't making them and turning them into internet vitriol. Paizo is trying to sustain a former standard; to keep people from converting by producing a quality product using a system people are familiar with. Wizards is trying to sell a new system and...

I think the major concern is that, no, they cannot sustain themselves while the other is around. With the new edition comes a split in the RPG market, and perhaps two systems competing to be the standard will result in only one remaining. "Remaining" as in, continued support and material...

Cylons aren't funny. :p

Geez, guys. Look, I think it's going to tank myself, but do I have to start slapping people in the face with a fish before you loosen up and get the joke? Pick a day and go find some internet hilarity.

joe, carmachu: if guys you like those dates, you'll need to pony up your bet. ;) Or if you think next Summer, pick a day. I can go into 2009.

Speculation on the launch of the DDI is naturally rampant, and with the recent axing of Gleemax, we could suspect that DDI will be fully functional sooner rather than later. But then perhaps it means that it will simply add more cooks to an over crowded kitchen, and DDI will join Gleemax in the...

That's what I thought. ;)

I would counter with the construction of a Comsat Station coupled with Goliaths. ;) Heh, sorry. Been watching the MSL, OSL and Starleague Playoffs recently.

Howdy Wulf! It's been since the peck shuffled off the coil since I've read your stuff, but it looks like you've got me back with this one. Have you guys been playing regularly, or has real life been interfereing with the updates?

He can try. He just will never succeed. I think this is at the heart of the issue for the folks who dislike mundane 1/day powers. Even given optimal conditions an attempted 1/day after it has been used will not work. Ever. It is a metagame issue, and I imagine works very well to balance the...

You sound surprised.

This post still does not answer Dannyalcatraz's responses to your initial question, nor does it address lutecius' in any way. If you wish to discuss 1/day exploits with regard to Barbarian rage etc, then discuss; if you simply want to vent, that's ok too. It seemed like you wanted an...

About a centimeter of the middle finger of my left hand was cut off in a door years ago. I have since picked up playing the violin. I told my beginner violin teacher that I was having a hard time reaching the G string on the far side of the neck, which a long middle finger would reach easily...

I would love to sit around a table drinking coffee and bandying economic jargon about predatory pricing, price floors, and negative externalities of free markets. But is ENWorld really the place for it? Despite your scoffing, Aria, gamersgambit has an advantage relative to Amazon when it comes...

In Post 33 I explained why I can accept Rage as a 1/day kind of power. It was an in-game rationalization; I sometimes find those acceptable. I'm ok with the Barbarian power, and if I really had to, I'd hand-wave Stunning Fist away with an explanation of how he doesn't have enough qi to focus...

If you're going to take this attitude, don't do it as an aside to someone who agrees with you. Think someone is being desperate and irrational? Say it to their face. Part of the allure of fantasy for me is the idea that man can overcome the fantastic. Is there a dragon that flies, has claws the...

Exactly. Game balance determines when I can do my schtick. Narrative control determines when I can do my stuff. It's metagame circumstances that make my fighter unable to Brute Strike twice in a day. And to those ends, it does its job. But there's no in-game reason. "No openings in-game"...
