    1.5 instead of 1-2-1?

    Thats it... this causes too many arguments. I suggest we remove diagonal movement altogether. I call it the 2-2-2-2 rule. It worked for advance wars, it can work for us.

    D&D 4E Trauma and damage in 4e

    I can understand people using these rules if everyone at the table enjoys it. To each his own. With that said, I would personally add some kind of mechanic to protect the fighter. Like a feat that allows him to shrug of the effects with a successful save or some other mechanic to that effect...

    D&D 4E Trauma and damage in 4e

    Why are there so many DM's willing to slap on negative effects to their players so liberally? This doesn't make sense to me... Mostly because if i was in a game where negative 'slap on' effects were common occurrence, i wouldn't be having fun. especially, in this case, if i were the Fighter. As...

    Why Not Just Call Them Stamina Points?

    You could change names and Terminology all day long... The game is not going to make any more sense. In fact, changing well known terms like hit points would be detrimental. Everyone knows what HP stands for nowadays. If someone comes along and picks up the PHB and sees "Stamina Points" they...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    The gaps in the description leave room for imagination. I could write a ten page essay describing my bedroom door. I could tell you every facet of every detail. The sound it makes when it opens fast. The sound it makes when it opens slow... Or alternatively i could tell you its white, and leave...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Will you still play 3.5?

    luckily, I joined 3.5 just as 4e was announced. So, I don't have a substantial investment to walk away from. Actually just the PHB. I see myself pulling out the 3.5 PHB whenever i get cold Or if i need to throw something heavy at someone. I might use it as a paperweight. Hell, its got its uses...

    D&D 4E 4E balance: Does it extend to PvP?

    yeah. 1v1 will not be balanced... However 1v1v1v1 or any other deathmatch style PvP will be self-balancing. Its not really about how good your character is, its role, etc. Its about avoiding getting ganged up on. Sure tactics play a part, but even the best rolls won't help you if player A, B...

    Alright already!!!

    All this focus on powers... Yeah, it would be boring to use the same power every round. Its not about that, is it? As a fighter its not a question of "what power shall i use next turn?" Its a question of "The Wizard is being attacked what shall i do?", or "how do i help the rogue gain combat...

    Low Damage, High HP ... How is this "Faster"?

    Combats will take more rounds to complete. Will it take more time? You will no longer see attacks that cause 10d6 damage. You will no longer see 4 Attack Rolls against a target in the same turn. The game shouldn't bog down when some one utters "I grapple the...". 4e is made up of single attack...

    D&D 4E What are the 4E changes you like?

    Level drain.: This is a good example of how they would rip out the bits of the game that are just not fun. Point Build: Everyone is on the same playing field. No more feeling sub par. Fixed HP: Can't Resist... I give in <happy dance, happy dance>. I always got filled with a feeling of dread...

    If gnomes had the eladrin's powers would that make them more appealing?

    "If gnomes had the eladrin's powers would that make them more appealing?" No... Not for me.

    Solo playtest...

    Yeah i noticed that... If your gonna send one monster (same xp as the group) that is anything but a Brute, an elite, or a solo against a party, i don't think the out come will be favorable for you. But that is how its supposed to be... the monsters with varying roles are there so that they can...

    D&D 4E What will your first 4E campaign look like?

    I will be DMing with a group of mostly new players. Some are players of 3.5 I will be running a dungeon delve to start with for two reasons 1) the new players do not have to worry about role-playing. It will ease them into the DnD. And the older players will have a chance to experiment with the...

    D&D 4E 'Advanced' 4E

    Don't forget that you will be getting a larger selection of powers as you level up. So having to few powers to choose from may just be cause for concern at earlier levels. I agree with Cadfan though. It looks to me that even with so few options it still leads to a lot of diversity of choice...
