By all means check them out ... on of the things I've noticed are monsters with Power Attack when 3.5 has a major problem with AC cap for most players. The monsters benefit from Power Attacking more often than not. But a couple of levels may help if the players get their kill on faster. But as...

if you are in a forum and you take offence to people if they misunderstand you really should be there :) So yeah no harm done. Except that if you ever misunderstand me again ... why I'll ... grrr D

Neither was I ... I was indicating how sales figures (quoted by many people in a "what if" sense) are a bogus measurement of success/failure. Many posters comachu for example, have been making "what if" statements using sales figures as proof. D

@Keefe: LOL ... actually that is highly inaccurate and a misrepresentation of the actual laws. The minute you write something that is saleable or marketable (actually anything but you may not honestly care c.f Blogging) you have the copyright to it. If you allow your material to be used all...

Time spans aside, the discussion is about "lies" and "evil WoTC". The time span differences between Windows versions does not excuse the promises made by MS nor does it excuse their shooting Vista in the foot and telling it to walk. The point is that attacking WoTC for undertaking to protect...

The whole thing about sales and numbers is bogus, really bogus. Because sales are not measured on people walking in and buying but by orders and stock leaving. If a brick and mortar store orders a bunch of Pathfinder stuff then Paizo has just made sales. The same goes for WoTC. It doesn't...

In direct answer to the original poster: You will find that in general the published adventures do not follow the DMG advice. However you need to take this with a bit of thought involved. Why are they not written this way? Because they do not know your players and the characters they have...

@kristov: Disclaimer: I am not a WoTC fanboy, neither do I hate them. They are just another company I buy product from. Then sadly no one you know lives in the "real world". How many times has Windows been delayed. Or features cut out and added later in a patch. How many times has a computer...

In the world of copyright law it does not matter if it is a criminal or a civil suit, it must be upheld as a local person in the country would be protected/sued if the country has signed onto the Berne Convention. Thus if you are in Sweden with a great website with all the Ritual texts on it...

@FadedC But that is just the point, you cannot stack temporary hit points EXCEPT with Invigorating powers which are exceptions to the rule as per BRV. Normal temporary hit points do not stack. Unless I've read it incorrectly. D

I may be misunderstanding my reading of Temporary Hit Points and Battle Rage Vigor, however: You cannot gain stacking Temporary Hit Points from different sources. Every weapon attack would be a different source. Confirming my interpretation is the second part of the BRV class ability that...

@Imaro I don't think you are "getting" it. WOTC is defending its copyright ... that is the text on that power card is their material. No one has a right to copy that text verbatim and make it publicly available except for WOTC themselves. In the case of copyright verbatim is a little flexible...

They do not have to come out an state anything regarding their IP and intent to protect it. Copyright Law is immediately enacted the minute they put pen to paper. Regarding the character sheet analogy. 1) Wizards would easily be able to defend Copyright Infringement if you printed your...

You also have to take into account that treasure in 4E is slightly different. In 3.X mundane equipment was part of treasure and could be sold for 50% as normal treasure could. In 4E mundane equipment is worthless for re-sale, and magic item sale is 20%(?). So adventurers don't get to "trade...

@Asmor: I think it was because i stuffed it and forced the sides to bulge out a lot. I cannot remember the brand but my wife bought a pair of them as a surprise since she knew how much work I put into my campaigns and sessions and wanted me to be able to carry everything easily. She played in...

The folding crate carry looks great and is great at the start but continuous use and it breaks ... both my wife and I used them for various things: I for RPG and carrying my RPG stuff around, she for Primary School to save her back when she had to tote arts and craft etc. around. After roughly...

In general you will find Windows XP only using 2 GB for you ... most of your extra GB will be secretly eaten by the OS itself. Upgrade to 64 bit XP if you can, however you will lose some games compatibility. D

@Khairn Actually Ema's site in the no-pay mode was still giving out mechanical information on powers in the 4th edition section without permission. Granted, SOME of that information was in summary, but the currently licensing of 4th Edition pretty much only allows names to be mentioned, not...

@roguerouge Actually the holder of the copyright does not even have to state his material is copyrighted in many cases, artistic being one of them. In addition fair use differs from country to country. For example in the US you are pretty much allowed to enact a very wide base fair use with...

@chriton227 re: your reference to the Dowling case. Actually according to Dowling himself he infringed copyright (not challenging those charges). What he did challenge was the concept of stolen goods since he didn't steal the music, the records, or packaging that he sent via the postal service...
