Wow, check out that weather! It sure is reductio ad absurdum around here!

The reason to buy local is to support your local economy--to keep money circulating within your local space instead of leaving it. If most of the money from my buying dollar goes to WotC, the book distributor, the shipping company that delivered the books to the store--I have no reason to buy...

I buy local when it truly is local: farmers' markets, and other such local producers. I do not care especially about buying local when it's a local purveyor of a translocal product. I have no incentive at all to waste (an admittedly very small amount of) gas to travel to any of the several game...

Don't forget that the spiked shield counts as a light blade, and that it can be enchanted as a throwing shield. I very badly want to make a High Magus of the War-Frisbee, using the swordmage class.

A few ideas come to mind: Martial classes only, plus swordmage and paladin available via multiclass. Be stingy on the items with significant special effects, but generous with basic +n magic items, and things like flensing weapons or veteran's armor. Light armor and small shields only, but...

I've been checking in with this thread every time it grew a new page between 12 and its current 17, and at least since then, it's been focusing on the exact same discussion of hit points, abstraction, and healing surges, as if the resolution of this debate (which is championed on one side by...

Indeed, it doesn't even have to be immediate death. An enemy falling to 0 HP in 4E is "out of the fight", not necessarily dead. This could be achieved via surrender as easily as by being frightened to death--and if the player is bent on killing the foe instead of simply disabling, then you can...

Since all you need to generate new monstrous NPCs is a good look at the stat blocks of existing members of that monstrous race, I took the appendix write-ups as rough draft PC race stat blocks, obviously not playtested (or, in many cases, even finished), but there as a sort of "Here's what we...

Definitely not the rewind situation. I think that the sequence is: 1 - Attack is made. 2 - Attack would hit. 3 - Before it hits in any way as to cause damage, swordmage teleports. 4 - Swordmage is beside the attacker.

Of course, my preference is setting- and context-dependent, but in terms of my platonic ideal of vampires? I like the alien, inconceivable monster. The human brain dedicates a tremendous amount of real estate to community interaction: facial recognition, group bonding dynamics, emotional...

Anyone from WotC who is reading this, I implore you to ignore damn near everything in this thread. I have long been in the roleplaying hobby, but have never touched D&D until very recently. I was, of course, aware of D&D; it's the brand giant of the hobby's industry. It never appealed to me...

I'd recommend Spirit of the Century for Adventure!, and Wild Talents for Aberrant. Alas, I've found no decent substitute for Trinity.

I'm tempted to suggest that you blow the whole wad on +3 summoned drowmesh armor, for a total AC bonus of +5, and a cloak of distortion, and play the Invincible Rogue.

And Preserver wizards do not get a spellbook, instead selecting the same number of powers that everyone else gets.

I'd say that you get both types, but only a single +2--so the damage becomes +2 fire, lightning.

AV has the Transfer Enchantment ritual, however, so I assume it might become possible to create a Swiss army sword. I don't think this is a terrible thing, though; you're unlikely to find one in a pile of treasure, so it's something that must be made by the characters during the adventure, and...
