Well, that's only partially true. 2e rangers and paladins only got spellcasting at levels 8 and 9 respectively. That's a lot of rangers and paladins who aren't going to get spells because the game ends at level 7. A lot of games simply didn't reach levels 8 and 9. 3e both made ranger and...

Sorry, I was having problems getting to playing the game earlier today. I keep getting redirected to a review forum by clicking on the forum headings for some reason.

Really? Based on my recollection, most shots of a fellowship character doing something are followed up by a shot of the cave troll doing something. I can't think of a better justification for extra actions. Let's take a look at the scene. Legolas shoots the troll, then it attacks a hobbit...

Really? I think they'd find "pay for some errata and formatting" to require at least as much marketing as their current approach. You know, since with the Internet people can download minor changes for free, versus buying a whole new book or magazine.

That's fine.

Generally, they work poorly with a high dropout/fail rate from players. Not that they can't be fun. The Talking the Talk and Playing the Game forums are the 'regular' pbp forums. The links are in renaqu1g's post above.

I have the basic rules. Supposedly Daredevil can read with his super sensitive touch distinguishing printed areas. Granted, there are some (many?) situations where that's not going to help. It should be interesting playing someone basically outgunned.

By the incredible process of flipping a coin, I decided on Daredevil. :)

A playtest not of the playtest materials but of whatever you make up and modify does not seem to be particularly useful. By the same token, the rules are what I'm paying for. There are plenty of interesting games out there; I don't need to put a lot of work into tweaking DnD into a useful...

What, so other characters shouldn't know something because someone else brought up the topic? Aid Another is generally not very good compared to a second roll unless the second party has very little chance. So it's often better for people to pile on with their own checks than to help out the...

Yeah, we wouldn't want any bad sources to dilute the purity of our game based on a mishmash of Dying Earth, Conan, LotR, kung fu movies, wargames, and Dracula. ;)

So as long as anyone else might want to be able to do something, the fighter can't have it as a class feature? I mean, deal more damage when the enemy is off guard, who can't do that? Better get rid of sneak attack. Fighter always wants more heals, better take that them away from the...

The Invisible Woman has a really cool powerset IMO. There's a lot of stuff you can do with forcefields. She's like a Green Lantern with cloaking. But there's been some other interest in the character, so I'm leaning more towards Daredevil or Captain America now. Which do you think would be...

Yeah, and giving monsters harder to kill without making them more resistant to being hurt, and other well designed solo abilities are useful tools. I mean, I don't think it's an accident that Magneto - the guy with wide ranging magnetic powers including a powerful forcefield and a thought proof...

Of course, the issue is that a "boss" monster typically functions differently in a fight than a regular monster that's just higher level than the PCs. The boss typically has more things to make it the centerpiece of the fight, as opposed to just hitting harder and taking more damage than...

Okay, the heroes I'm looking at now are Daredevil, Captain America, and Invisible Woman.

That's right, everything the fighter gets should be a generic mechanic everyone has.

I'm interested. I feel pretty flexible on characters right now; maybe I'll see what other people want to play.

How so? The specialties we have don't provide anything like those bonuses. Smite doesn't require taking a turn to buff up your weapon; specialties do. Dual weilder: after two feats you do the same damage and have the same AC as a guy with no feats, weapon and shield. The only benefit so...

I can't believe someone is actually complaining about DnD ripping off Pathfinder. Even if it was an accurate complaint, it's still a pretty crazy one to make, considering.
