    Dice Pools, Grades, and Difficulties

    I don't think it matters much in practice because as you say masterwork equipment is much less important in this game than other (especially in NEW) but what you stated above, which I believe is right except for some corner case, seems directly contrary to what you stated earlier in this thread...

    Dice Pools, Grades, and Difficulties

    If the intent is to have masterwork equioment more valable to experience character isin't the curent system doing the reverse ? This happenned in my startrek-tyoe game yesterday. The normal crew 4d with master sensors. (+1d) could reach 5d, the same as a beginning PC without the equipment who...

    Questions on space combat

    Do you recommand changing the ennemies attack to static number and having the players roll their defense rather than the GM making the die rolls to keep them engaged in the combat ?

    Questions on space combat

    Returning to starship combat, here is one more question. The rules specify that a ship has, in addition to its move, a number of actions equal to its class. Assuming a classic stratrek type combat between the enterprise and two Klingons bird of prey (arguably class 8 or above ships) that would...

    Questions on space combat

    I see it on page. 26. Strange �� Got it ! Do you plan on having some more detailed pre made ships or even an adventure to help see how we can use the various mechanics such as countdowns or e-warfare to best effect ? As I did not see any reference to a test in the description of the...

    Questions on space combat

    Thanks Morrus. I see I had neglected the exploits for the targeting and reinforce shield. For electronic warfare I don't see anything on page 38 but I see some brief description on page 3:26 which must be what you mean unless I am missing something. There is a long description of the various...

    Questions on space combat

    I just read the NEW Space PDF plus the Future Core and have a few questions. Although the rules mention CPU cycles and cyber warfare there does not seem to be any explanation of the following : 1- How is cyberwarfare conducted ? 2- What is the effect of losing CPU cycles after a cyber attack...

    Best drow city supplement

    My campaign is slowly leading my pcs towards a lengthy adventure in a drow city. As such, I was wondering if you could help me find the best supplement describing such a city. As I play 4e , if the supplement is for that edition that is even better, but it is not required. Ideally I would like...

    Third party flavorful magic items

    Yesterday, I was again utterly disappointed by 4th edition magic items, more particularly a set of drums of panic I gave my players and which I expected to work similarly to previous edition … and then we found out all it does is give +2 dam and +2 to hit on Fear powers.. sigh … crushingly...

    What might a fully Essential-ized Cleric look like?

    The level of complexity of the warpriest that I dislike is not the numbers of it's powers but it is in the powers themselves. I hate all of these powers that do 3 things at the same time ... An attack, remove some conditions plus a bonus to defend or strike for X allies for next turn... Argh ...

    PE: Assassin Spoilers

    Strenght of the poisons This new class seems very flavorful. Definetly a big improvement over the original classes since it offers different mechanics and even outside of combat effect for some of the powers. That being said , shouldn't there be some type of fortitude attack levels for these...

    D&D 4E What Doesn't 4E Do Well?

    Star Wars Skill chanllenges While I agree that skill challenge are very tricky to execute properly and have a high risk to break the immersion of a scene (especially in social skill challenges), everyone, including Wizard of the coast, is slowly learning how to make them work. DM2 is much...

    New PH3 Class....The Psion!

    I really like the fact that they have finaly broken the power structure for the psion. It helps answer one of the most common complaints about 4e, i.e. that all the class feel the same. Too bad they did not venture earlier in that area. I can see Wizards as having a few at wills, no encounters...

    Sexism in D&D and on ENWorld (now with SOLUTIONS!)

    Altought I can see the remaining subtle sexism in D&D (lets call it male-centrism) it seems to me that it is rather mild and certainly less so than many other hobbys including most of all professionnal sports and related entertainment. The new editions make it a point to promote strong female...

    The Sandbox And The Grind

    This is a very good question. I think one solution would be to use the inherent "quantum uncertainty" of monsters of 4e in your favor here. If an encounter is say more than 3 or 4 levels below the party's level, why not do a quick conversion on the spot : Solo becomes Elite, Elites become...

    My name is "Defendant Radzikowski"

    Private International Law For those interested in these matters, the interplay between US and Polish jurisdiction in a case like that is much more complicated than what has been mentioned in previous posts and is determined by a fascinating part of the law called private international law. In...
