I´m not sure this counts, but my first DM had a tendency to play "by the RAW" in incredibly annoying ways... Like using the random encounter tables, and not fudging the rolls.. "But Gary, we are 1st level! We can´t fight 12 trolls yet!" "Too bad, thats what the dice say you encounter!"

My party currently consists of: 1- An alcoholic Human Male Paladin of Avandra 2- A Human Male Cleric of Thor, er I mean, Kord, God of Thunder (WWTD?) 3- An angsty teen Female Dragonborn Infernal Warlock 4- An underage Female Dwarf Fey Warlock 5- A Male Doppleganger Wizard, pretending to be an...

Well, perhaps not complete remakes, but these 4e adaptations would rock my world: "Planescape - a SuperAdventure boxed set with all-new art by Tony DiTerlizzi" "Players Handbook 3 - Mind and Magic - Psi, Shadow and Arcane Heroes" "Players Handbook 4 - Oriental Adventures - Ki, Elemental and...

Well, I finally got my last recalcitrant player to try 4E last night... He got the books and read them over the last week and last night he was already rules-lawyering like he was before... If anything, the simplified rules encourage their quick digestion and use. He admitted at the end that he...

I used to say "No" all the time! Now, after reading the new DMG, I say "are you sure?" with a grimace :eek: just kidding... I try to say "Yes" as much as possible, but I still say "No" to Spiked Chains and Sunrods.

I´d say its valid.

+5 Insightful, my friend. Actually, this happened to me and a friend (we are compiling our various houserules and all the info on our homebrew setting). When we started giving our manuscript to third parties for review, some of them came up with questions that seemed fairly obvious to us, but...

Exactly, they wanted to make them playable, not necessarily sexy.

I think we could benefit from having both a "Tank" Fighter and a "Striker" Fighter So, if there's not a two-handed weapon striker in Martial Power (a class variant would be enough, no need for a whole new class), I might get around to design one, powers and everything. I am thinking of both...

That's bad DM'ing, not bad rules. And this happened way before 4th edition was even planned. As evidence, let me point you out to the first issues of the Goblins webcomic, where one of the goblins complains about the tribe not being able to use the treasure they are guarding against...

Dude! I need to make a 4e version of this!

Well, Xena, Hercules and Sinbad were guilty pleasures for me... If they could do a 4th edition D&D show with that quality, I would certainly watch it... ...even if we end up laughing at the rubber faced dragonborn and the wobbly tiefling horns, not to mention the silly no-blood combats...

Well, to be honest, Warduke was a canon immigrant from Greyhawk to the TV series, so its not actually a cartoon character.

Storn, congratulations on the reconciliation, I wish you guys the best. ...oh, and your art is great, too!

Ah, let's not debate morality and alignment... entire postgraduate courses are dedicated to them in philosophy faculties and when we poor gamers try to emulate those debates, it always ends up in tears

Why not? that was exactly what I was suggesting earlier in the thread, exchanging elven feats for eladrin feats doesn't sound bad.

Well, to do a fair comparison, you must understand that in fourth edition, a level 8 party is comparable to a third edition party of levels 4 or 5. 8th level PCs in fourth edition are still expected to be fighting Orcs, Gnolls and Ogres, with the occasional Displacer Beast, Bulette or Minotaur...

Well, while I'm a huge fan of G.R.R. Martin's fantasy saga, and might buy the new Green Ronin game based on it, I do not want D&D to become any more "darker and edgier". The most I could see myself pushing D&D in that direction would be to run a Sword and Sorcery style, all-martial, all-human...

Well, I must disagree with your impression Gailbraithe. Just looking at Everlasting Provisions, Rope of Climbing, Sending stones... these items have no combat utility whatsoever... but they are universally useful to PCs The 3rd edition bag of tricks was lots of fun, yes... In fact, it was so...

Well, given that the mundane item previewed is brutally useful (pun intended), I sure hope it's a superior weapon ...which would be a good thing, on second thought, because God knows we need more superior weapons (including a BigAssAnimeSword for those who complain that the Bastard Sword makes...
