    FRPG - In hand.

    This is very bad news for my warlock who was going to become a multiclass swordmage. I was really looking forward to that aegis teleport. ~

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    Yeah, they don't have to email me personally but an explanation would be nice when they announced it so much and 'worked up the crowd' so to speak. Now that we have an explanation, I'm satisfied (although I still think the delay should have been admitted and announced in the latest DDI update). ~

    Kanji Mage — as seen in Kamigawa block novels

    Kanji Mage — as seen in Kamigawa block novels So to anyone who read the Kamigawa block novels or is otherwise familiar with Toshi Umezawa's 'skills', does anyone know of a precedent for this style of fighting and magic use? Basically, if you don't know, Toshi would use his jitte (dagger...

    Selling a new PDF on Enworld

    Do you happen to know which ones, or how to go about inquiring into such a thing? I know Paizo has Necromancer . . . but I did some searching on a few websites and couldn't find any 'here's how to be an imprint with us!' link :P Anyway, I don't really know much about a lot of companies, so I'm...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    Cool; I look forward to it, and thanks for the heads up. I'll most likely subscribing either way. Also, I retract [most of] my 'sneaking suspicions'. ;) Next time you make an article vanish, make it something less burly and obvious than a barbarian . . . you could preview a shadow-origin...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    Because I can't think of another reason. If it were a simple internal 'glitch' between authors or a realization that the barbarian just can't be sent out as-is, then there clearly should have been a post serving as an explanation and apology for all of the previously built-up hype about the...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    Personally, I prefer the term 'sneaking suspicion' to 'conspiracy' :) I might agree, except, as I said, for all of the hype and buildup they did for this particular article. Yes, this is the correct way to announce things that aren't set in stone, and I appreciate the tactic. On the other...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    I'm not into conspiracies either, but I do think that unless Wizards posts an actual reason why they completely changed barbarian release plans, it is clear that they're intentionally pushing the hyped content into an issue for which fans will have to pay. I don't have any problem with them...

    1 Million Swords

    Do you mind if I use this for a magic axe instead? :P Thousands of years ago, the battleaxe Heartdrinker was forged by the great dragon Jygostraszos as a gift to the serpent avatar Rinthikekt in their mutual war against the death god Zanal-Yazar. Rinthikekt, having little need of such a weapon...

    How do monsters heal outside of combat?

    A given monster has a number of healing surges as dictated by its tier; · Heroic | 1-10 | 1 healing surge · Paragon | 11-20 | 2 healing surges · Epic | 21-30 | 3 healing surges So, outside of combat, during a short rest, the monster may use its healing surge(s) in order to get back up in...

    D&D 4E WotC takes a playful swipe at 4e haters On The Set of 4E the Red Dragon!

    I wasn't offended one bit, nor was I bothered at all by the subject matter. That said, I didn't laugh once. It just wasn't funny to me. Usually I like making fun of people, too, for any reason. I thought the first movie (with the gnome and succubus) was pretty funny, the second one (with the...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    Well it seems like most people don't really care if Wizards spontaneously pulls hyped-up articles with no explanation (and with suspicious motives). I'm glad, because I would like to see D&D do well and make a lot of money. On the other hand, I am sad to see that potentially subscription-paying...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    Actually, there had been several GenCon previews and other spoilers that announced the Barbarian preview would be this month. Then the ToC came up and confirmed it, and then one by one they: 1) removed the entry from the table of contents; 2) changed the 'cover' picture so it wasn't a barbarian...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    Now Buehler is 'previewing' that the Barbarian will be in October's Dragon . . . without any mention of the fact that it was previously in this month's and got 'secretly' pulled out. How sneaky do they really think they are? ~

    What would you have done?

    1) Have a tank climb the wall behind you, scale across it, jump down, then pull one of the oozes away :) 2) Or, beg your DM, since you were all about to die, if you could attempt to bull rush through an ooze since, you know, they're all jelloish. 3) Have a strong character toss the gnome (and...

    No downloads

    Yeah :( I had to put up my pdf in a zip file because while the zip size was plenty big, the pdf was really small! Either way, the good news is I was able to put it up. ~ EDIT: Are there any statistics or a rating system, like to see how many people have downloaded a given file, and what the...

    Cheating cheaters

    If I were a player in a game where I knew one of the other players was regularly cheating, I would be pretty upset. I would be doubly upset if I knew the DM was aware of this cheating and didn't care or wasn't doing anything proactive about it. When I have a chance to succeed, and another...

    Patronage your experiances?

    I was considering signing up for Baur's Open Design, but I wanted to take a look at some of the previously produced adventures first . . . when I saw that only patrons could purchase them, I was turned off to the whole idea. I like the thought of an open design/patronage program and...
