Repeating your conclussions in multiple posts won't make it any more true. You break several logical fallacies. I wish I had more time to write a detailed response.

I absolutely disagree with your conclusion, Raven. I don't have the time or inclination to debate it in detail though. If someone is playing D&D and makes a character disinterested in combat and conflict, thus roleplaying such, they are playing the wrong game. These are cornerstones of the...

I don't see that as sloppy. I forget the page number, but the rules specifically say in a sentence or two that specific overwrites the general.

Quick question. Why is this being debated? What parcel of verbiage is being required that this is an issue?

Cignus is correct. It is an exception to the rule. You might have a Reach 2 weapon, however your power specifies Close burst 1.

There is some cool stuff in the book. I think some will be happy and others... well... this is the Internet :D

Now you're putting words in my mouth. You made a claim that M:TG has been a significant influence on D&D since WotC took over. I'm asking for you to clarify and quantify. You're coming back and a strawman? When did I ever say the game was stable with no power creep? It's cool. I know the answer...

That still doesn't validate your prior post, which is what I was challenging. Also, TSR was producing collectable cards several years prior, and merchandized anything they could.

I read the whole post, which was predicated off of that statement. I just don't recall it being that way; thus why I asked.

Can you qualify this statement? I don't recall this at all. I remember the sense of liberation the fanbase had because TSR had run D&D into the ground.

The issue of optimization existed in 2e when I played. The problem now is that it is way more prevalent since the dynamic of the community has shifted. Digital gaming and TCGs have accelerated and rewarded this type of gaming. If you go into Dungeons & Dragons expecting a pure storytelling...

I would agree with all you said.

Someone more savvy than I could probably round up all of the posts here on EN World where people slam WotC for not being more communicative. It's extremely ironic and it's community threads like this one, and others, that have completely accelerated a bunch of non-issues. If you are so...

I have entire swaths of text in Soldiers of Fortune for such a campaign or storyarch. You should check it out!

My mind is blown. Epic find.

I'm not seeing the thesis of your claim or the results. I'll try to reread it later if I remember. I'm not understanding where you're concluding that any issue lies in the weapons themselves. What does reverse engineer mean in this instance? There's a lot of disjointed concepts and terms being...

I would focus more on ways to challenge his build via gameplay than outright kick him out. Everyone plays this game for different reasons and everyone derives their enjoyment in an equally diverse manner. Going only off what you wrote and your demeanor towards him, my advice would be for him to...

I'm happy to see themes coming back :)

I'm glad to see themes starting to come back :)

My version of Vancian magic in 4e is simple and requires no detailed document to describe. I just allow my Wizards to collect spells in a spellbook (Wizard powers). At the beginning of the day, they can memorize the requisite amount. This gives them the versatility they want without giving them...
