That's just it though. He doesn't follow the basic rules. How is a 1 HD humanoid getting a +12 modifier on his heal skill?

It is pretty much the same. The details are different but the overall 'feel' of the situation is very much the same. Also, awesome handle, OP.

While they're not necessarily exclusive, I think it is probably true that most gamers don't have the time or inclination to devote to more than one 'main' game they play when it comes to pen and paper RPGs, especially DMs. The binary thinking should not be a surprise at all. I know that I have...

An interesting (I think) companion poll to this would be along the lines of: - I am a current PF subscriber, and this announcement caused me to cancel - I am a current PF subscriber, and I intend to continue to subscribe - I am not a current PF subscriber, and this announcement does not change...

GenCon 2009 does seem like a long way off. By that point we'll all have had 4E in our hands for a year and the system will likely have built a good amount of traction. I wonder if a 3.75 can really have a lot of luster that late in the game?

Well, I'm not going to make any predictions about what this means for Paizo in the larger sense, but it does mean that they've lost me as a Pathfinder subscriber and possibly a customer at all, pending what their 4e stuff looks like - I was hopeful that there would be some cool 4e adventure...

Yeah, there are a few of the humanoid spawn/reptilian types that might work - the blackspawn from WotDQ is also possible. The main problem as I see it with those is that they have a tendency to be naked, whereas the art we have for the dragonborn has a tendency to be clothed. Some of the early...

There's actually a reasonably large number of tiefling minis in the game: Tiefling Captain (Harbinger) Tiefling Blademaster (War Drums) Tiefling Cleric (Desert of Desolation) Tiefling Rogue (Desert of Desolation) Tiefling Warlock (Unhallowed) Tiefling Warlock (Dungeon of Dread) That's also...

The biggest problem with KotB that I've come across in some 'for practice' converting experiments I've done is that the room sizes are often too small for real use of all the movement/pushing/pulling/etc effects that 4e seems to have. I think the map may need some revision to really get enough...

What context are these bugs coming up for people? I've never had trouble logging in or any technical problems using it. Ease of use is an entirely separate question, but in terms of things actually functioning it has been fine. And that's using IE.

Because of how early DDM cards go to print compared to when they come out, chances are these roleplaying stats were in the can for at least 3 months or more of time where the game itself was still in flux. Also anyone who isn't familiar with how DDM cards work should be aware that the back-side...

I'm sure you are right that I am not picking the right sort of mental whatnot for my description there. I would encourage you to give DDM08 another try. After playing 2 pre-releases for DoD2 at DDXP, sitting down to play the 1.0 rules on Saturday for the championships felt absolutely awful. It...

Honestly, unless you're somewhere on the OCD spectrum, I predict if you play with it for, say, 4-5 hours of actual combat, you'll get so used to it you won't notice it anymore. It happened to me, and I was coming from your viewpoint for sure before I tried it.

Every group I've ever played with for the last 25 years?

I am surprised to not find myself hating 1-1-1-1 after trying it out in skirmish. I thought I would never get used to it, but it actually took me all of about one tournament. I think it will be fine for RPG too.

After playing about 30 games of DDM 2.0 with the new diagonal movement: Yes it is weird at first. I thought I was going to be bothered by it forever - I *really* hated the idea at first - and was thinking "I will have to house rule this in my home RPG or we'll all go mad". But honestly? I...

Starting with the Red Box doesn't mean they started the year it came out - it was the 'current' version for several years. Also maybe you're confusing it with the Red Book. I'm 33 and started in 1982 (on my 8th birthday) with the basic set BEFORE the Red Box - the one with the Red Book and Keep...

This has probably been mentioned somewhere, but: If you don't want your fireballs to be firesquares, switching back to 1-2-1 will not solve any problems for you. You will also need to change the entire targeting mechanism for radius effects from 'target a square' back to 'target an...

OFF TOPIC PET PEEVE NITPICK WARNING If you are still alive, you didn't get electrocuted. You got shocked. We now return you to your regularly scheduled on-topic argument.

That includes a lot of assumptions about the order in which things were designed that I don't think we're qualified to make. Just because we happen to get the minis first because of the way the product cycle works doesn't mean that the monster roster for the first MM wasn't decided on until...
