    Shifty v/ CC: Who Wins?

    i realize, was just being a smartass =D though it does seem like it would be an awesome combination. Great racial ability combined with a good class feature though as far as the serious discussion is concerned, it doesnt seem like there should be any question as to what the rules would...

    D&D 4E What will be your first 4E character?

    i am surprised at the love for the eldarin... i find them immensely distasteful, but then again i have never been a fan of the "fairy/fey" races (except brownies... those are the evil little buggers right?). the dragonborn i could handle a little better if they had a real name other than a...

    Developing a "points of light" campaign setting

    I can haz you guys as DM's? Some of your descriptions of your settings were extremely interesting and got me pumped for 4e. Irda Ranger deserves special mention, I would LOVE to play in that campaign. Jollyninja and blusponge had particularly good ideas also. I have never had a DM that had...

    Points of Light - Help me make sense ?

    ...or if you really wanted that backstory you could have him use a hammer, mace, axe or spear, all simpler weapons to use and much easier to explain away through backstory. Swords are typically experts weapons, they are much more fragile, expensive, high maintenance and difficult to use than...

    Alright already!!!

    You appear to have missed the memo that the vast majority of DDXP demo groups had a TPK (a big part of which was not conserving per-day abilities and healing surges because of hard encounters earlier in the adventure). From everything that we have seen there seems to be a much greater ability...

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

    I can understand pixies point of view, being a druid lover, I KNOW they are going to get "nerfed" into oblivion. They were the do-it-all class, and 4e really seems like they will probably get rid of that possibility. (I also LOVED shadowcraft mages, yet another do-it-all build that will likely...

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

    that first ability would allow them +4 to attack and double sneak attack dice forever if you flanked the guy, by the current way it is laid out. = D

    D&D 4E Dave Noonan on his 4e Playtest

    "tailored" in this case means somewhere between 50%-200% of the recommended xp value per encounter, i think i am pretty comfortable with that range. If you group with a bunch of tactical geniuses and/or optimizers then the range very well may increase to up to 250-300% of the recommended value...

    D&D 4E Where the break between pro and anti 4e is

    Yes, any 5 year old can attempt it, and probably fail, and thats against a completely untrained fighter with zero desire to murder them. You change the situation to one where the person whom you are trying to trip wants to murder you and has the right tools to do it (weapons and/or teeth/claws)...

    D&D 4E Where the break between pro and anti 4e is

    i understand what you mean, but if i recall correctly, about 80% of the demo groups during DDXP had a TPK... so its not THAT hard to die = D

    Trip is an Encounter Power now

    Probably been said 100 times but: Tripping an unarmed and mostly inexperienced combatant is a MILLION times different than tripping a heavily armed/armored humanoid or a monster (say a tiger or bear). Good luck to your karate students trying to trip a grizzly bear. Heck i can recall on one...

    D&D 4E 4E Liker - anything you worry about?

    1. I dont like the flavor of the default races... not much i can do about that. 2. I am afraid there will not be enough diversity of powers for each class to allow flexibility of concept. (What if i want a rogue who fights primarily with a mace and uses javelins or hammers as throwing...

    Balance vs. Diversity

    The situation changes if you want to have one high score and one low score though if you wanted, for example, a 18 and a 10 +2/-2 18 (10 points) 10 (4 points) 14 total points No mod 18 (16 points) 10 (2 points) 18 total points, making it 28% more expensive

    Any chance?

    the order of the stick boardgame is pretty fun too. other good boardgames are always a good solution, there are so many amazing ones out there that there must be something that you and your group could find that you all would like
