Absolutely, GenCon has that right. Everyone has the right to participate, or not, in a transaction. This is how it should work.

Putting the shoe on the other foot, I would defend your right, as a shop-owner, not to serve nazis or anyone else that you thought poorly of. The fact is, you can't make everyone like you. You can't compel everyone to pretend to like you. You can't make everyone sell you something if they don't...

Look it's simple - each side in a business transaction should have the freedom to commit to the transaction or not. Personally, I think they are stupid if they decide not to take your money because you are transexual or whatever. And these days it is likely to reflect poorly on them and cost...

What about horses? I've had some success with the rich red-brown type hide for horses, and even a centaur. Now for some inexplicable reason I've decided to paint a horse dapple-grey. I must have been insane. Desperately seeking tips for this project, initial efforts have been disheartening..

...and furthermore - high stats / low stats are often triggers for roleplaying. If everyone is equally smart/strong/quick etc, no-one gets to play the intellectually impaired jock or weedy wizard. Stereotypes everywhere are lining up to fight this abomination!

What, are you some sort of commie or something, wanting to build a party of Winston Smiths???? And what's wrong with sacred cows? Billions of Hindus swear by them :) You do raise an interesting point, in that point buy basically means 1 x 18 for everyone and other stats pretty well pan out in...

Two things of interest to me are not covered too well in 4e: Mounted Combat and firearms. I have worked up my own firearms rules and equipment, and I'm working on a musketeer character class. I realise that this is a niche that most Fantasy gamers don't need to fill... however I would really...

Yeah I'm going with Pod Demon, Rust Monster Swarm (!!!!), and Demogorgon.

Don't see why not if you meet the prereqs. The only restrictions apart from prereqs are that you can't multiclass in a third class.

Curious... How would you rationalise healing or curing effects if the target had not actually suffered a wound but had lost hit points? I like your ideas - the hp as luck/avoidance thing appeals to me, with actual damage only happening with a critical shot or when you run out of luck.

Big fan of armour as DR, rather than it making someone harder to hit. A shield makes someone harder to hit, armour makes it easier - but harder to hurt the target. I'm liking the different defence types, I agree AC could go and be replaced by Reflex. One sacred cow down....

This is also a concern I have with Herremen's RAW... True, it does provide a hard edge to the rules, and a feeling of actual risk in every combat, but I'd like to think that catastrophic failure was not a statistical likelihood every 2-3 fights. Playtesting and fine-tuning would get us there...

Skill challenge in KotS There is a room with a bunch of trapped statues on the second level of KotS - you could modify the disarm procedures only slightly to require a combination of Arcana, Thievery, even History... at the moment you need several successful Thievery OR Arcana checks I believe.
