It's just the reverse of having a wizard say "I throw a fireball on those orcs" and the DM "sorry. missed". I agree that for players, the more they roll the dice, the more they feel involved in the game. Why not then, as a DM, whenever you have a spell to shoot on your players, ask one of them...

I agree with everything. In regards to the paladin, well, if the mount is implemented as a class option or talent tree oe any other kind of swappable set of abilities, the problem is pretty well solved. If the player really WANTS to be the mounted knight, well so be it. It's part of the game...

I just hope that the rework multiclassing so that it REALLY is worthwhile. So that with EIGHT base classes, including the FOUR staple fantasy/D&D, I can make of all kinds of sword-using-spellcaster, mage-thief, god-blessed-fighter and everything else I want without having to resort to OTHER...

Who said that you have to own an old PC to use Linux? Granted, in the MS world as soon as you get your hands on the brand new release of Vista you inevitably begin to think: "kewl! now I'm running to the shop in order to buy a new PC to actually run it!!!" (see the diatribe between "operating...

Don't tell me!!! I won't buy D&D Insider until they come out with a Linux version of it!!! Aren't there Linux using D&D playere around here??? Hey, I thought all geeks used Linux and played D&D? They are both "class featuers" for geeks!!! Where are all good steraotypes one could rely on gone???

Well, Full Metal Alchemist. That said, I guess the border between sci-fi and fantasy is in good measure dependant on the eye of the beholder. Star Wars might be technically sci-fi, but in my eye (and many others') it's always been more akin to a fantasy saga...

I'd like to see them in non Eberron specific supplements, but maybe not in the first PHB. Like someone said, putting warforged there will mean that almost every other developer will nearly be forced to shoehorn them in subsequent products. I think they are a bit too "weird" for a race that...

I think the sacred cow of "armored wizards cannot cast" is going the way of the tricetatops, with fighters getting a "martial power source" that grants them access to supernatural manouvers and tricks. There's no more need to enforce a cliché to tone down the raw power of casters in order to...

I'd like AP to be more than just "reroll" points. I'd like to see more mechanics related to them. You really need that extra Smite? Burn an AP Used all your Turn Undead? Burn an AP and get another I never really liked the "fixed number of uses" kind of abilities. Failed the stabilization...

This is IMHO one of the best ways to describe the difference between a Cleric and a Paladin I've read in quite some time.

From what I read on the Star Wars Saga previews, that seems a good system, and I think it's the most likely to be included in 4e.

What do you mean with "the last third of the book"? I'd like this, if it's done well. Having unarmed combat seamlessly integrated in a fighter talent tree could make people integrate a monk-type character in their campaign, if they wished, without having all the Oriental fluff scare...

I second this, unless they don't give some more "flavour" to the class, which IMHO lacked in 3e. I was trying to work up a "Druid" based on the Binder class, for example, trying to tie up all Druid powers to appropriate "Vestiges". IMHO the Binder's flavour is perfect for the Druid as I...

Rather than another "variant fighter", easy modelizable by talents and feats, I'd rather see another Divine class, not heavy armored, let's say an all-purpose Priest instead of the standard Cleric. That's one of the thing I really missed in 3e. No core class to represent priest from non martial...

It's almost what I think, but I think they will leave the monk insteas of the ranger, since I see easier to model a ranger from a fighter using the right talent tree, instead than modeling the intricacies of unarmed combat. I'd also like to see more alternative magic and power forms in the...

I think this pratically sums it up. Every class balancement factor ulimately depends on the synergy between players and masters and their stile of gaming. If you have no rogues in your party and the DM keeps putting traps in the dungeon, you're doomed. If you have 3 clerics, undead are a...

So I guess the manga volumes are not exactly the same size here. Or I failed my Knowledge (manga) check, of course. Anyway, the "Elf" subsaga is just the beginning of a whole new story. And, frankly, one of the weakest points in the saga, IMHO. It will take some time and the development of some...

Yep, and still going on. #15 should be where the anime version finishes, and the long flashback of Gatsu's youth connects with the beginning of the story (one has to wonder why in the first episodes he has an iron arm and it's signature huge Dragonkiller), isn't it? From then on a new...

Since this year will mark my 30th anniversary of watching my first anime, and I have been watching and collecting fron then on, while I only discovered D&D 20 years ago, I'd say that anime MUST have had a good deal of inspiraton for me. Since all my current fellow players and the DM, too, are...

March of the Modrons??? :uhoh:
