    Excerpt: Multiclassing (merged)

    Yeah, I edited my post - I don't think you can retrain powers that quickly.

    Presuming that you can retrain those powers by that level.

    Excerpt: Multiclassing (merged)

    You do get: a skill (not all the skills, but bear in mind that you needed to allocate skill points from your limited reserve to those skills), and you get a power for each feat you invest. You don't get: HP - meh. Saves - irrelevant, and were much abused. Other class features - again, often...

    Excerpt: Multiclassing (merged)

    Ok, so a 10th level fighter, with Arcane Initiate, Novice Power, Acolyte Power and Adept Power will have Arcana, Magic Missile 1/encounter, a level 4- Wizard encounter power, a level 8- Wizard utility power, and a level 10- Wizard daily power. Parlor tricks? I think not.

    Well, not exactly - your Fighter would be a Fighter with Arcana, Magic Missile 1/encounter, and Fireball. This does suggest a little more than a fighter with a necklace of Fireballs.

    Because you can only have one multiclass feat.

    D&D 4E 4e skill system -dont get it.

    Actually not so - having multiple rolls for a single resolution will broaden the bell curve (in d20, create a bell curve). This means the game will be less tippy - that one roll does not automatically spell success or disaster. Additionally, it will allow many members of the group to get in on...

    Another Chris Perkins Interview - 4th Edition Realms

    Hear hear! I am truly looking forward to actually having content for old scrolls found in treasure pretty much ready made. Old maps, descriptions of forgotten techniques, everything!

    D&D 4E Does anyone agree with me about 4E?

    Godwin's Law Your responses echo the other trolls so much that I know you must really be sock puppet for 5th element, the original troll. If you are not merely a sok puppet then you are clearly a nazi follower of 5th element.

    Forgotten Realms changes - The Orc King novel prelude's 'facts'

    The Orc King and 4th edition I have just finished the book, so I warn of spoilers here. The prelude is the only part of the book that deals with the 100+ year interval. The rest of the book is the beginning of the events that lead to that point (and covers only a single season). It is a...

    Corebooks in June!: News from the Alliance Retailer Summit

    Shame really I for one would have enjoyed the lead time (and the reduced financial hit) of getting them one at a time. I think it will take a month or two having the books before I will be up to speed to DM a ccampaign anyway, and it would have been nice to have the PH earlier to speed up the...

    Expedition to Undermountain

    I was looking forward to the release of this dungeon since 3.0 first came out. I had run my sons through the original boxed set about 10 years ago, and they still remember that as the best gaming ever. At this point, I have only prepped the first adventure, not run any of them. I will revisit...

    I have finished reading my copy, I am starting to prepare to run it and I am interested in writing a review so others could share my impressions. I understand you guys must add thge product before anyone can review it.

    What changes from 3.0 to 3.5 should *not* have been made?

    Haste As a regular gamer (I gave up TV) The damage you suggest is fixable with a low level clerical spell or two. The money is little object to players (who wouldn't pay 250 gp to defeat a CR 7 bunch of monsters). It is hard to get the worms back into the can. Once players have enjoyed a...

    What changes from 3.0 to 3.5 should *not* have been made?

    3.5 why not The trouble with this question is that there are enough people out there that there will be someone who will disagree with every change. This will then be multiplied by the fact that only the people who feel strongly will bother to reply. You will then get mostly opinionated rants...

    D&D 3E/3.5 List of Problem 3.5e spells? Where?

    Broken Spells I do not know of a list, but (mostly due to my dextrous sorcerers) many DMs in my area are granting saves to Ray of Enfeeblement, Enervation, Touch of Idiocy and other "no save" spells I cast.

    State of the RPG Industry

    I wonder what the breakdown of books would be: I am only guessing, but something like 1 million Players Handbook, 600,000 DMG, 400,000 Monster Manual? Perhaps posters could report in their group numbers of monthly players, and number of collective core books owned here: My group/regular gaming...

    State of the RPG Industry

    I myself go through cycles. I DM'd for several years, and then became burnt out. It was mostly power-hungry players, (or one player), who pushed and pushed for more and more, who cheated behind the scenes (fudged his character's numbers), made a stink every time a rule went against him...

    State of the RPG Industry

    Thank you for the link: fascinatingly, more than half the people who answered the "do you DM" question (47%) answered Yes. This has ramifications for the whole "player vs. DM" purchasing situation. Another (perhaps) neglected part of this survey has to do with school age children and their...
