I'm not crazy about the pin the foe power having no apparant limits on what it can target. I can't quite see how 3 human fighters, no matter how coordinated, are going to stop a collosal dragon from moving, shifting, or 5' stepping any way it wants to.

I can't accurately vote in the poll, since I would use both options equally. Drow certainly have foot soldiers, as well as priestesses, assassins, warlocks, and wizards. I'd also use Drow weapon masters, Drow warlords, etc. in addition to the stock warrior 1.

I played a dwarven defender in battle plate (from races of stone). It took a sphere of annihilation to kill him. Heavy armor let him get his AC up to the mid 40s without defensive stancing, at 19th level. I admit the mithril variants were popular, but I think only because playing a straight...

It's possible there is an explanation in a section on per encounter and per day powers. Not sure if it will be a good explanation, but that would be a logical place for it, instead of having it under each power.

Maybe this is being nitpicky about the language choice, but I didn't like that the article says "the two builds are" since this to me means that there's much less customization in character building, since you only have 2 paths of making a rogue (and presumably other characters will have similar...

I thought the interesting bit from the blog is that they're considering changing drinking a potion to a minor action instead of a standard action.

There was a d20 minigame about the planetary romance sub-genre in one of the Polyhedron/Dungeon combo magazines. I don't recall the specific issue, but think it was probably in the 90s around the same time as the Shackled City adventure path. I think it was called Iron Lords of Jupiter. Hope...

Can someone summarize the whole charity/shafting/Lucasfilm/lawsuit thing for those of us who only know that Gen Con filed for chapter 11? Nevermind - found the other thread - link

As for diagonal movement, if you want to keep things simple with every square counting as 1, why not just say no diagonal movement allowed? That way diagonals count as 2 squares, which isn't as accurate as 1.5, but at least preserves that they are longer than non-diagonal movement?

I'm having the same problem.

OoTS hasn't read the memo yet. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0526.html

I'm not sure why you'd want to convert it to 3.5. I'm strongly leaning towards not converting to 4E, but wouldn't want this in my 3.5 game (maybe as something other than a pit fiend, but certainly not as the same monster it's being presented as.)

I'm surprized no one mentioned that the Point of Terror is a fear affect which gives a -5 to all defenses. I'm having trouble seeing how being scared, even REALLY scared, would affect your fort defense. I get that if you're scared you don't defend against physical attacks and don't dodge as...

All I've taken is the new Toughness feat - basically combining the current Toughness and Improved Toughness.

Of course Szass Tam is the most powerful necromancer in the realms.....there's no rules for them yet in 4E, so he's the ONLY necromancer! :)

I agree 100%. This article pretty much confirmed for me that the 4E realms is not a place I want to game in. Not that it will necessarily be bad, but it won't be the realms I've bought every supplement and novel of, and love. They should have left the realms intact and did a 3E style...

I hope spells like knock AREN'T rituals. I can't tell you the number of times I've had my wizard, or seen one knock open the chains on a prisoner to free them while the rest of the party fought, so we could bust the prisoner out before more guards came, or so the prisoner could give us much...

Wow, I'm shocked at the dominance of the 4E crit support. As for my other vote: I like the confirmation roll, since it allows more skilled combatants to crit more than less skilled ones, and also avoids the I miss or I crit, and can't hit otherwise. As for damage, I'd prefer roll damage as...

Exactly! And I might want the opposite, since I'm not at all impressed so far by the digital previews of the magazines. Or maybe I just want the chatacter generator, or only the mapping tool, or maybe only one of the magazines?

Not if you subscribed to both magazines.....
