Where it's going? I'm hoping you can play a nearly perfect 4e character clone, and your pal has got a nearly perfect 1e character clone in the same adventure, somehow. Also you will be using some sort of power to save your friend from a save or die, and you won't be upset with your dm, somehow.

what options for 5e would be "impossible"? Some quick guesses... 1. variable xp progression 2. traditional late game domination of the wizard class, and the hyper vulnerability at low levels. 3. Thaco It would be cool to come up with a bunch and somehow WOTC deliveres it all in a perfect...

I hope it is somewhat compatible with the ancient books. Perhaps instead of antique shops the older versions would be available as pdf's? The CB kept my group with 4e for quite a while, we left the fold pretty much the day it went online only. Two subscriptions gone! All in all I was...

What about as an option? A rule for how to de-level could be useful for a lot of stuff, not just level draining monsters. I think they're a bit whacked out, but theres something to be said for monsters that the players consider worse than lethal...

I'd like to see the difference-maker be that a cleric channels a greater power, and the wizard stands alone. Alignment, code of conduct and weird taboos are critical factors for every cleric spell. Each casting of a cleric spell is considered in its context to the gawds interests. In a...

wow sounds great, I'm super curious as to how it works. Will the basic burger fighter actually be as strong as the triple stacker? Maybe he'll get insta-kill on a crit or something.

I fell in love with dnd extreme at first sight.

I hear yeah - to your question of what should be done differently; 1. The quality of the binding, ink and paper should be upped from poor to excellent. 2. Go all the way with the ddi subscription giving you all the books.

level draining monsters. They were the most feared monsters. edit: I'm scared of them

Vancian is a good guess given the mission statement of 5e, and its fair to presume there will be options. But will it be "pure" vancian or will the options inform it? This idea of a given character buying into it and also mixing in some at wills, a couple of encounters and maybe one stance...

I see these, I close book: 1. Rules are a mild variant of existing game. 2. Rules that are approaching dnd levels of complicated. 3. Few decisions in character generation. 4. Combat/challenge resolve mechanics that aren't quick or clever. 5. Bad art. 6. Bad writing. 7. Too much fluff, or...

does an unconscious faller take maximum damage from all the dice when he hits the ground?

1. A gargantuan themed playlist and ambiant sound scape for the ipod. 2. Novelty dice (blinking lights inside, roars on a nat 20 or does the price-is-right failure sound on a 1, dice shaped ice cubes for sodas etc) 3. A full terrain set, modeled basicly on the extent of the x-com ufo defence...

Can you consider a blast or burst attack to be melee if the target is adjacent? What if you are using a melee weapon as an implement? Can you be considered flanking, and get combat advantage using a blast, burst or ranged attack if you are in fact flanking the target? Can you choose to use a...

Hmm that does make a poor camping spot... Tough situation. Even in hindsight it's pretty difficult to come up with creative ideas. If he wasn't immune to fire, sinking the tower faster somehow might have been an option. This is all making me want to check out SoW...

You managed to put it all on to one 50/50 roll, which is pretty good really. I mean at least you had a decent "moment of truth". Perhaps the party could have gone spastic with bull rushes once you had him on the edge? You could have volunteered to over the edge with the guy to get an...

They're saying it's not collectible. But it is randomized? Why not one full deck? They figure they'll sell more? I just can't see how it's not at least as collectible as "garbage pail kids" ... so even if theirs no competitive angle it's still a cheap trick. I want some.

I discovered a comic shop near my new work, and I realized that my dice pool needed re-enforcements... so I bought 17 carefully selected d20's (the shop keep was dutifully annoyed) and a d8, and 2 d4's. So that's why I posted, cuz I wanted to roll for something.

My players 2nd level all-wizard party was defeated and captured, so they rolled up a rescue team of all 1st level fighters to save the day. The fighters all had the same name (dave?) and exact same character sheet, and all died on the rescue... I think two of the wizards did manage to escape...

um, 3... -1 strength penalty for a total of 2. Hope I was fighting a minion.
