As others have said upthread, much of the errata is minor stuff, but the bits that are major are MAJOR. Without having my DMG handy, I am struggling to recall any part of that book that hasn't been errata'ed and/or supplanted by the RC: skill DCs, skill challenges, monster...

I'm not a casual gamer, and I've been using computers at my table for years, but this is how I'm beginning to feel about it. I like 4e, I've subscribed to DDI in the past, and would consider it in the future, but I really don't want to keep investing month after month to keep up with the rules...

I'd say that's a pretty radical interpretation of my question, but that's fine. I'm actually 100% on board with your intent for the spell. The reason I ask is that if the caster is essentially free to define his own creature, why does the spell still bother to enumerate the creature types you...

A few more that I've noticed (some very nitpicky; apologies in advance): p. 96: Use a Spell-Like Ability on the Defensive, last sentence has "cant" rather than "can't" p.106: Activate a Magic Item refers to grapple checks, rather than combat maneuver rolls p. 115: Ranged Attacks, "Attacks with...

I apologize if these were already mentioned upthread (I skimmed quickly), but here are a few more errors you may want to fix, if you haven't caught them already: p. 26 under Halflings: the text about being a Small character refers to gnomes p. 41: the list of rangers' favored enemies includes...

I wanted to add a huge thank you for this thread for introducing me to Trailblazer. I have only just read the first couple of pages, and I am in nerd heaven. I like 4e just fine, but I also still like 3.x, and would be thrilled to keep playing or DMing it if the underlying problems with the...

We might differ about how alignment is "supposed" to be applied. As I think you know, previous editions took it more seriously, not just as description, but as prescription. DMs were instructed to carefully monitor the PCs' compliance with alignment norms, and to penalize them when they...

I recall a thread here a few years ago discussing Gaius Baltar's alignment. It went in circles with people arguing that he was chaotic evil, neutral evil, chaotic neutral, or even true neutral. I found myself agreeing with all of them. It was at that point that I realized that the...

I just read Crystal Shard for the first time. I've been playing D&D for almost 30 years, but I had never read any of the licensed fiction. This was my first and thus far only encounter with it. If this is Salvatore's best work, I can scarcely imagine how dreadful everything else must be. He...

I disagree; it's Buffy Season 4 that had the Mary Sue. See my avatar for details.

My homebrew includes Maure Castle, although I have placed it on Nyambe, which is African-themed, and modified it accordingly. It actually works better than it sounds.

From his blog (http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/4/blogs/index.php?blog=tom_colicchio&article=2008/06/a_womans_place): ;)

I'm a huge Top Chef fan and laughed very hard when Andrew said that. Really, everything the guy says is amusing.

I'm at work, and don't have anything in front of me, but wasn't it the case with Dungeon to the very end that they only supplied MM references for basic, unmodified monsters? I also seem to remember them offering advice to would-be adventure authors to use straight-out-of-the-MM monsters to...

Apparently not, as my CS account must have expired. But I'll email you.

Anyone still want the module and map? My FLGS just gave me extras.

I don't think WotC really wants several thousand Dorito-stained dog-eared pamphlets ;-). We got to keep them, along with a dozen minis, albeit with no stat cards.
