    Why Is the Cleric Unfun?

    Done it. :) My Eberron character was a bard who considered herself a priest. All her bardic "music" abilities used prayers and she was into healing, though not as good at it as most of the "other" priests in the temple where she was fostered. ;)

    Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what a Martial Controller would look like?

    I've played a martial controller like character with a whip fighter - the character never made a damage roll, but when her turn was over foes were prone, disarmed and flanked. ;) The archer could work well too, esp with some sort of "ranged aid / covering fire" option and ranged trip, disarm...

    Why Is the Cleric Unfun?

    Actually a cleric is a 3/4 BAB class with full spell casting, two domains and usually, though not always a patron deity. And a properly played cleric will behave in a way that is consistent with the character concept, deity choice, alignment and any setting specific ideas of what a cleric is...

    PCs using their abilities - a favor to the party?

    Forgot this... I play clerics who believe in their (good) gods (or philosophy for the Mortalists) and as such give healing to those who need it and have worked towards compatible goals. Genuine belief in a god or philosophy does not need to translate to treating those without that belief as...

    PCs using their abilities - a favor to the party?

    As a DM I would point him towards my basic rules of characters (rule 1 : you will play your character. Rule 2 : you will come up with a character you can play without ruining other players' fun or forcing them not to play their characters) and suggest a change of attitude or a new PC. The...

    PCs using their abilities - a favor to the party?

    But wouldn't it go the other way too? Should a cleric expect the wizard to cast grease on him to help him get out of a grapple automaticly if he doesn't at least pay lip service to the idea that the wizard has devoted his considerable intelligence to learning, and that such dedication and...

    PCs using their abilities - a favor to the party?

    Reading a cleric related thread on the 4e subforum and I was struck by several comments along the lines of "my cleric heals those who deserve it" or "healing is for out of combat if you ask nicely".... I find it hard to envision this attitude from any other class - "I disarm traps when I feel...

    Replacing a psicrystal....

    Looking through the SRD, in the three different places they talk about having a psicrystal, I can't seem to find anything on replacing a destroyed one. Am I missing a clear rule, and if not, was this addressed somewhere else, such as the complete book?

    Readied Action - Setting A Spear Against a Charge

    Luckily, Hypersmurf is wrong. ;) Readied actions often happen 'during' their triggering event, though for simplicity, your initiative changes to right before the person who triggered the next round. I find it's a lot easier if you read the rules with the underlying assumption that you want...

    Should you be able to dodge a fireball by readying an action?

    But that brings up a whole other subject of "can you tell someone is readying/what they are readying for/should there be a sense motive check involved?" For which, as far as I know, there is no RAW.

    An end to scry-buff-teleport?

    The Astral Caravan power for psions is interesting in this context. It's like Plane Shift, but a journey. While at some level it might take TOO long (continued enhancement to eventually take it down to a day with a dedicated Nomad would be nice) but it gives a much nicer (imo) feel to plane...

    Writers strike is a go

    I'm suprized by the idea of "just switch to reality TV" and the claims that the reality shows aren't affected as well. I suppose it's possible that the writing done on those shows isn't officially screenwriting by the terms of the current contract (I seem to recall past arguments about that...

    After School Program

    You need a "less than 200 / would not pay for such a program" option. I voted 200-250, but that was under the assumption that I absolutely needed the job that I couldn't get more flexible hours with. (Or had landed a dream job I was enjoying for it's own sake.) All things considered, at my usual...

    [NFL] Pats vs. Colts - make your prediction here!

    I was looking at some blog comments on the subject out of mascocism, ( ;) ) and some folks described a "skip" in the crowd noise level while the announcers still seemed in sync, while others said it was video and audio freeze. If I was still in school I'd call it a perfect oppertunity for a case...

    Why I love gamers

    I also recall an issue of Cloak and Dagger (would have been in the 80s or early 90s, don't recall details) in which Dagger had been falling to her death and Cloak rescued her by bringing her into the dimension he served as an interface for. Problem being, she still had all her momentum and he...

    Maybe they were marvel comics fans. ;)

    Should you be able to dodge a fireball by readying an action?

    IMO, it should definitely be possible. You tried to use a not very useful mechanic in a way that was both tactical and cinematic. Good show.

    Race life expectancy issues

    Int of the average green sea turtle, 1-2. Age to sexual maturity, 25 years. There is a lot of variation in lifespan and maturation time in the animal kingdom. ;)

    Race life expectancy issues

    :lol: I think it is awesome that you fully understand the physiological differences between humans and elves. I personally do not, but if asked to explain it, would come up with something to explain the age issues, which might give me some fun insight into the underpinnings of my campaign...

    Why I love gamers

    I agree entirely. The fact that a fantasy, sci fi or superhero story may add something outside of the standard reality, does not, imo automaticly make everything up for grabs and any illogic acceptable. The best departure from reality in fiction are modular.
