One could say that it's the most important part, or the core element. I don't think we'd have "say yes" at all without improvisational influence on game design. Interesting. I agree that tolerance is key. What do you mean by exposure? Are martial "stunts" easier to describe because they are...

The silly thing is, after you split up the per level gold amonst the party (assuming 5), you end up very close to the monetary gold rewards per level. It's off by as much as 15% (in favor of this normal treasure until level 27, then the gold wins out in the end) so using this chart is better...

I should have looked closer at the underlying formulas! That's an excellent summation. I salute you, sir! :cool:

It seems like a simple math problem. Take the magic items rewarded per level and turn them into the monetary value, add that to the actual monetary value and just split that up. Why? Because I want to avoid the bookkeeping of who gets what, and instead reward gold as XP, divided amongst the...

You just described In A Wicked Age. Seriously, the game is awesome for this. You start by drawing cards and consulting a list (the Oracle) which gives you four situations with potential characters. From that you determine PCs (the rest are NPCs). You make PCs, and then play. Everything moves...

That's definitely an important point. "Saying Yes" does not mean literally say yes, it's about giving people the benefit of the doubt and not shutting down an idea that's unexpected. Although you can answer yes even to that, using DM's Friend. You can say, sure, do a melee basic (or Acrobatics...

Technically, no one can use a non-offhanded weapon in their off-hand. Two-blade fighting style for the ranger explicitly allows them to do otherwise. So, if you take archery style, then no. However, there is nothing stopping you from playing an archery focused ranger and taking two-blade style...

Rule of thumb: if you can't find rules that say you can't, then you can. D&D 4th is all about saying yes. In general, for character abilities the best place to look is the combat section for any general rules that might apply, and then the rest is in the power/feat/class ability text.

First a note that a hard encounter is 2-4 levels above. Just 1 level above is considered standard. (Well, actually in the Encounter chapter it says 2-4 levels above, later in the Adventure chapter it says 2-3 levels above) But anyway, for encounters with new creatures coming in, you may push it...

Thanks for the build Erywin, that's some good crunch to chew on. Mort: Yeah. I went to the game store and flipped through the AV and saw my hope was not to be. But, the double weapons in the AV do have better damage output than the ones in Eberron. So that is one possibility. As for the...

Ah yes, I forgot to ask about that, as there are a few in the Eberron PG, but no mention of what exactly double weapons let you do (only because I was familiar with their introduction in 3E did I gather that they equipped as a two-hander but allowed you to do off hand strikes). As two-handers...

I wanted to multiclass Barbarian/Ranger because I want the utility of the raging and charging abilities mostly. Multiclassing into Ranger looked like a good idea at first. But then comes the two weapon problem. First, I don't get Two Weapon Fighting. Not a huge deal at first, I could just use...

$40 for only 160 pages?! Jeez, why does my rear suddenly feel sore.

Well, the easy solution, play a non-d20 super game ;) Seriously, you're sure to avoid potential cludgey system fixes to get around problems like this. Silver Age Sentinals, as with the others, also does not have Strength give you an attack bonus. A real problem, would be The Hulk, who is...

Re: Re: Still answering I would suggest reading the answers again. What you quoted answers your question above specifically. It means a time and technology only. It does NOT mean cultural. It does not mean geographic. If you can write a telepathic democracy so that it feels medieval using...
