... *snigger* *snort* As a person who is a power gamer, a DM for a burgeoning group of power gamers, and a Warlock fan, I can tell you that Star-pact Warlocks are not crippled. They are... if you build them wrong. Then again, a Fighter with 14 strength and a battleaxe isn't doing to well...

A very well done insightful post. The problem isn't the quality of the products. People don't care. People only really care about grinding their axes and proving that WotC are evil lying hypocritical bastards out to ruin the game forever. This is why people on the WotC forums have called Mearls...

So out of utter bloody curiosity, do you consider the PHB2 from 3e to be 3.75? In it we get some variant rules, including level retraining and new support for old classes. Just like Essentials. Do you consider Unearthed Arcana 3.8? It includes variant builds for old classes. Like Essentials...

It makes sense. Kind of. They're fearless river boating adventure folk. All of that rowing and ticking off minotaurs for giggles makes them hale. This change, coincidentally, also makes them a tier 1 assassin race for either build. All you hear is the near silent pitter-patter of hairless bare...

http://tools.dungeonmastering.com/monstercards/opcode/11228/Adult-Black-Dragon Essentially I designed the new black dragon to be a sort of super lurker, modeled after a crocodile. Essentially he leaps from the water/mud/dark, sprays the party with a burst of flinch inducing acid, and then mauls...

... That actually makes it a marginally playable power now with a decent tactical purpose. And here I thought minions were becoming meaningful in combat. "And lo, he, a master of the arcane, journeyed the lands. They fell before him, all of the kobolds and skeletons of this world, blasted...

Actually, I never said that. At best I said "Roleplay rewards systems are not really helping roleplay, or at least not as much as their more rabid proponents say they do." Which is, after I inspected it some, not the case here. Now, I feel that there is a good chance that the crafting/profession...

Apparently a lot of people took issue with what I said. Seems a lot of people are over reacting to my over reaction. Looking over the Critical Hits stuff, the book in question deals with themes and is being treated like an Unearthed Arcana deal. I feel better about this now, particularly since...

True, I just find this an odd direction to go with the game. Its almost as if they're admiting the design they chose was wrong. I've been happy with almost everything the edition has had to offer. Do we really need someone getting stuck with the bag of tricks again? Or under-water basket weaving...

... :eek: I am stunned, and baffled, and my head may a splode. Non-combat mechanics? Random tables? Reworking magic items? I-I-*POP* Seriously? Why? I liked the material as written. I really did. I bought into the 4th Edition design asestetic, and now they're flipping it on its head. Oi vay.

In our KotS game, we never rescued Splug. Instead we rescued a kobold named Patsy. My Warforged Paladin proceeded to convert Patsy to Capitalism and convinced him to unite the Kobold tribes as a mercenary force to protect instead of to pillage. It would also give him access to all of the bacon...
