Yes. Its true that its a more mini-centered game. Don't assume you have to use mini's though. I'll be using graph paper to mark down my players movements in game. I'd much sooner use graph paper or a battlegrid then change the 4e rules though. I absolutely love that combat is more animated and...

So, Now we have Trade off: a Halfling Ranger will do less damage (weapon size) Potentially, a Halfling will also get a size bonus (unconfirmed) Gain: Dex from the Halfling race, which is available to Elfs as well. So... as far as we can tell. there is no great advantage to using this build

Here you go :) Link

1 & 2) abilities that are vital for that class still have a big role to play. Having a Wizard with low intelligence and high wisdom would be much worse at hitting with his spells, avoiding getting hit (lower reflex), and Damaging with spells Than a Wizard with high intelligence and low wisdom...

- Fear: 4e Too awesome: Seriously... i can't find faults with it... I've been trying for a while now to come up with something. There is absolutely nothing i don't like. But for the sake of this thread i will.... If i had to make a stretch: - Fear: Epic level play will be too confusing: Phew i...

I don't know enough about how the ability scores effect things in game. Even if ability scores have less influence in 4e, I think the characters are more diverse and balanced overall in 4e compared to 3e. Power choice, and Tactic choice make characters a lot more varied from one to the other...

4e encounters can be made up of creatures quite higher and much lower than that of 3e so you don't know how many 'points should be in the opposing warband'. Not only can an encounter consist of creatures vastly differing in level, But the encounters may range from trivial to impossible. Not to...

Two thumbs, way WAY up! Everything I've heard about 4e i have liked. From the healing surges to the diagonal movement to the powers to the class roles. Its all good in my book. I've been racking my brains trying to think of a single gripe i might have with 4e for the past week. I just can't...

There are plenty of reasons to use throwing weapons instead of charging. You may not be able to reach your target with a charge, a opponent could be in the way. Or you may not want to engage your foe up close for whatever reason. Or your class may have At-Will Powers that make it more favorable...

I have absolutely nothing against the name Tiefling. Its the name of the 'human' race that i don't like. Seriously, how boring can you get. they should be called something interesting, like humanborn or manlings.

1. Its just a name change. 5ft = 1 square. Its very easy to put back into place. I will be telling my players distances in meters frequently. The term is pure fluff and can be changed easily. 2. i don't see how you can claim that squares can cause confusion more than anything else. For me it is...

i see no problem with squares. As a metric man myself I never used Imperial units before. So I had difficulty picturing room lengths and heights. Basically distances in general.To fix this I was always converting in my head. The Imperial system just wasn't intuitive for me. So I'm glad that the...

We haven't seen all of the powers. I imagine that the paladin would get some power(s) to do with shields. Even if that is not the case it doesn't stop you from taking the fighter powers and using it as a paladin. I'm thinking that this is something to do with power choice for the ranger. when...

my guess is that squares are being used so that you can easily convert distances in squares to imperial or metric units. A monster who is 5 squares away could be 25 feet or 10 meters. Before DnD i rarely used Imperial units, so i had difficulty picturing room lengths and heights, and basically...

Doesn't that make marking obsolete? The idea with marking is to make sure the creature doesn't wander off and attack the squishy members of the party. if the mark disappears as soon as the creature gets out of the defenders reach, there is no point in having the mark in the first place
