    What if every level were the same?

    Sorry, this is totally off the cuff and hasn't been thought through... What if, for each class, the benefits for gaining a level were the same as every other level? In other words, a fighter would always get, say, +1 BAB, +1 Fort save, +1/4 Ref save, +1/4 Will save, +2 skills, and +1 fighter...

    Blocking scrying and teleport without magic

    Surround a room with planes that are extradimensional. At the very least, it ought to give your DM fits. Or just sleep inside a Portable Hole. Dave

    No More Multiple Attacks?

    I see it as a matter of averages. If the game presupposes that a certain amount of damage will come from a character in a round, and that a group of characters will, therefore, be able to produce X damage in a round, and that a monster will die in Y rounds as a result, then the number of...

    D&D INSIDER CLARIFICATION...e-books/extras

    Solution 8. When you purchase the book, the retailer's receipt contains a code that is part of the process by which activation takes place. I know this would be a problem for some purchasers and some retailers, but it could be mollified by the old "...or send in your receipt to this address for...

    Knowledge Arcana's Future

    Thanks Clueless. I am, thanks to being under NDA, not permitted to discuss certain things. However, I can and will continue to push for KA to have a place; if that place happens to be through Gleemax, so be it. I think there's enough interest for it to keep going. One question on people's...

    Knowledge Arcana's Future

    Everyone, Some of you are interested in KA, others aren't (some don't know what it is--it is a community-run magazine for WotC products, but, it could turn into something more). I encourage you to read and consider the following threads. http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=937351...

    D&D/Minis Designer Needed

    Does reading 18th and 19th century British literature count as minis experience? Maybe I'm being modest about my proposal, or maybe I'm too busy with a looking glass. Dave

    D&D 4E New in 4E: EN World to be renamed "Eeee Ennn World"

    So, how are we to pronounce Ennie? Dave

    D&D 4E Manticores will have beards again in 4E

    Whatever. Some things we'll be happy about, some things we'll complain about, and DMs will do what they want. Maybe we'll get Womanticores in the 5th edition of the game. Dave

    Will "killing X and taking its stuff" jump the shark?

    Oh, that's just sad. If only it were an important question. The answer, of course, is that Mork would show up and deal with both of them. Of course, I'm sure Chuck Norris would have foreseen this and taken steps to prevent Mork from succeeding, but you can never be too sure, given where he's...

    Things that you would like to see change/go away?

    I want the rules explained for seeing at night. If someone is carrying a torch and is 100 feet away, perhaps he cannot see me, but I can see him. Or, at least, if I watch, I can see that something is carrying a torch and moving at the same time. I just want the rules (pardon the pun)...

    Side Effect: No more running away?

    One thing that's always bugged my players is that a run has to be in a straight line. Another is that there can't be any movement before a run or a charge. Real life tells you that in the same 6-second period, you can move a few feet away from something and then run like hell in another...

    Energy Immunity is the DEVIL!

    Well, there's immunity, and effective immunity. Give an Ice Devil cold resist 500 and it's as good as immunity for purposes of the game. If you want a volcano-dwelling humanoid race to have an ability to shrug off a lot of fire damage, give it fire resist 25. That's immunity for daily life...

    D&D 4E Chuck Norris to be in the 4e Core Pantheon

    You know, I wonder if Chuck Norris, you know, the guy, has friends who sometimes sit around and Google the poor guy's name and see all this really freakishly weird crap and wonder about it. Cool, I'm looking forward to playing a cleric/bard/monk half-gnome/half-halfling of Chuck Norris. Dave

    Playtesting?

    Thank you, BlackMoria, for the very detailed post. You've answered my questions. I'm already under NDA as an editor for Knowledge Arcana, so I'm aware of its nature. And, I understand the expectations involved with a group. Fortunately, I have 100% confidence in my players. Indeed. Thanks.

    D&D 4E Fun to die in 4e?

    This is very dependent upon the setting. In one campaign that I play in, admittedly heavily modified from the "typical" setting, the DM does not allow for raise dead or similar spells. In his campaign, death is the end of a character. That's it. And, in that campaign, we all design...

    Playtesting?

    Suppose I apply for and am accepted as play tester. How will I actually go about the process of doing the testing? Will all the members of my normal D&D group be included? I'm sure they'd all sign NDAs, but I'm just not sure I get how this all works. I mean, would they all have to apply on...

    Playtesting?

    If I had an inside way into playtesting, I'd use it. I assume the same is true of others. And, in some cases, it will probably work. That should cover some small percentage of the people they're looking for. After that, I wouldn't be surprised if they selected folks who have a lot of RPGA...

    Costs of upgrading

    All my speculations are in US dollars. I'm guessing the PHB might list at $29.99 for the first run, to encourage people to buy. Since there will probably be a nominal fee for accessing the online content, they'll make up the difference quickly. I'd think that the MM and DMG will sell for full...

    D&D 4E So why exactly does 4E make you angry

    I'm not bothered or angry, so I had to vote with the commie-conspiracy option. Dave
