Except when Joe Commoner fights the ogre, it isn't a minion - unless for some reason you have Joe Commoner fighting alongside PCs of sufficient power to throw ogres against them as minions. I would suggest just not doing that, or simply ruling that Joe Commoner can't inflict relevant damage to...

They had already reached the statutory limitation on class names starting with W.

I think there's a bit of a bigger problem than just the premades. While wizards have a similar attack bonus issue, they have the wand boost to make up for it a bit, and also powers that often hit more than one target, so you're probably going to hit *someone*. So far in my play attack bonus has...

I want to say it dates to that TWF article in Dragon (reprinted in Best of Dragon Vol 4 I think - the silver one) but I don't have it at hand to confirm that.

Beaten to it, but yeah, Entreri is definitely a monster. For that matter, so is Drizzt.

One issue that we're running across with clerics a bit in actual play is that they're kind of attack bonus challenged compared to most of the other classes, at least if they go for the ranged at-wills.

Forget players, this change is *completely awesome* from a DMing perspective. I love the fact that I can have non-spellcaster badguys do things like summon demons or raise the dead or whatever, it really opens up a huge amount of narrative space. Any minor nitpicking I might want to do about...

What possible reason would they have to keep it secret?

Yeah, the equating of "old ugly and female" with "evil" is highly intellectual.

Absolute agreement. There's a large segment of female-only monsters that could stand a bit of examination in this vein.

I think maybe what you are missing here is that an out-of-combat PC can just tick off healing surges without using any of the aforementioned powers. That is why the general 'no healing surges while unconscious' rule exists.

Doesn't matter to me much if it is Open or not. I like the rules I've seen, and I want to play D&D. I'm leery of the quality of 3rd party products for the most part anyway, as I've had about a 50/50 success rate on them being any good at all, whereas with WotC I liked just about every book that...

Change "greatsword" to "folding chair" and then think about the question you're really asking here. Hulk Hogan also clearly makes use of second wind and healing surges, as well as at-will and per-encounter abilities! EDIT: You know the more I think about this, the more astounding the parallels...

That "Skeletal Tomb Guardian from DDXP" posted in this thread is the same creature, that's just what's on the RPG side of the card (I have one.) Remember what you're looking at here are the stat cards for the miniatures game. There are still significant differences between the two games, the...

I find the idea that 3E was much too combat focused and that it would kill roleplaying (paraphrased) to be particularly telling and relevant to the current discussions.

It is in the minis game; the DM of at least one preview table at XP said that it didn't apply in the roleplaying game, but that has not been absolutely confirmed as true.

I missed the healing kit in the possessions. But that illustrates the point pretty well; in 3E you in theory have to figure out exactly what a particular NPC can get with this stat and this many ranks and these items, to get your desired result; in 4e you can just say 'he's got a +12' and ignore...

I frequent a few forums, and there are people in every thread I've seen on the topic saying "I'm canceling Pathfinder over this". It isn't anything like MOST of the people in the threads, but there's enough of them to make me think 'maybe there's a larger trend.' It also appears to the naked eye...

Market share numbers are fairly irrelevant in the MMO world, and they're skewed by the runaway success of WoW. What matters in an MMO is whether or not you are making a profit and what your prospects are for continuing to make a profit, and DDO appears to at least be doing that since development...

Not only are his numbers out of whack, they fail to acknowledge what at least anecdotally appears to be a not insignificant number of customers that Paizo lost, like me.
