I agree, my analogy didn't come out well there. I guess what I was more trying to say with WoW is that it's turned into a never ending balance act in an attempt to balance things perfectly. It's impossible to do, but because they keep trying, people keep complaining if it looks like another...

One of the things I really like about older versions of D&D was that there was a scale of difficulty. If you were new or wanted to play a fairly simple class, you could play a fighter, if you wanted complex you played a mage. In-between, you picked a cleric or thief. That said, even the...

Actually the reason they were "same-y" is because basically everyone has the same abilities with just different names and flavor text. Everyone can heal, everyone can do about the same damage with each attack. Everyone can push their opponent, etc. 4th in an attempt to perfectly balance each...

We use a system based off of the DragonQuest rpg (owned by wiz but long dead). Each character has Endurance(HP) and Fatigue. When in combat, unless it's a critical hit, all damage comes off of Fatigue first, once that's gone, you are too tired to block effectively and you start taking real...

Thanks a lot John! I could have sworn I had been through all those settings multiple times but of course I evidently never clicked on that one.

Quick question. I notice my problem seems to be at least partially solved. When I check my account, it does list that I have a silver subscription. But when I post, it doesn't say Im a silver subscriber. Other subscribers have the following under their name. Community Supporter COPPER...

To me this would do two thing. First, this is just another thing to turn a ROLE-playing game into a ROLL-playing game. The role-playing is what makes these games. I can't imagine most people would want to simply roll some dice instead of actually role-playing out an encounter. Second, it...

To get rid of the cleric being forced into taking nothing but healing, we house ruled a few changes for clerics. First, a cleric can take no more then 1/2 his given level slots (rounded down) as healing. So if he can have six 1st level spells, only three can be healing. Second, we doubled...

I'm also not a fan of the free full healing rule and would never use it in my campaign. But for this playtest, I would have at least played the game. If people really didn't like the rule, I would have just removed it for the playtest and then noted it in my feedback to Wotc.

Any luck? I sent the info right away and haven't heard anything more on it.

I upgraded my account a few Days ago to Silver from just a registered user and it's still showing me as being not a subscriber. I've logged of and on many times and still no go. It there someone I need to contact to figure out whats going on or can someone here look into it? Thanks.

At this point in the game it's really a non-issue for me. When 4th was being prepared, it was a real sticking point, but for me that ship has sailed. As long as 5th significantly improves over 4th (and I really like what I see so far), I will be more than excited to switch back to DnD...

If you only put 15 minutes into it I think it's safe to say you and your groups mind was made up before you even saw it. Why did you even bother to print it out?

I was seriously considering it until this. There is no way I'm going to run an adventure where I have to be connected to the internet to do it. There is no wi-fi where I play and I'm not going to bring a 50' network cable to the game session to plug into a router. Plus, I'm not a big fan of...

Unless it ends up relying heavily on 4e, I will most likely buy the core books just to check it out. After that, it will depend entirely on what my opinion is of it. Either way though I won't be buying Spat books, it would only be adventure modules and campaign setting types of things. All...

I know it's different for everyone, but I've been playing since 1977 and in addition to playing every version of D&D (I have been in two weekly 4th edition games for the past two years), I've played countless other systems as well. From Merps, DragonQuest, Tunnels and Trolls, Pathfinder just to...

Sounds a lot better to me from the gods standpoint vs. the cleric in the middle of combat "Hey god, I need this spell, 6 seconds later, Hey god, give me this spell now...(10 rounds later) Um...hey god, I know I'm really starting to be a pain in the butt, but umm. now I need this spell. If I...

I've been using MapTool for quite a few years and really like the program. That said, and as others have said, connectivity problems can be a major pain in the butt with it. I've played with multiple groups and we've had more than one case where we simply never successfully were able to get...

What app is that? I use MapTool and would love to have something like that on my iPad!

After a quick look at the site it looks like it's on it's last breath anyway. Very few posts made this year. My suggestion would be to find a new site. Considering the subject I would think it would be pretty easy to find a much more active and better run site. My guess is the website owner...
