    D&D 4E A 4E Combat Encounter - Round by Round Descritpion

    I like the way you had the Kobolds eating a kid. Even a bleeding heart liberal would have a hard time not killing a kid eater. (Bloody Hippies.) Gets rid of the Roleplay dilemas of alignment.

    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    Imperial because it is more in fitting with the period (from an English POV) England has gone metric but we are pluralists in measurements (at least at my age) I don't know all of them but for example of the top of my head: 1" = 2.54cm 1ltr = 1.76 pints 20shillings in a £ 12 pennies in a...

    D&D 4E My First 4E Game: Disappointing. Yours? (UPDATED with player feedback)

    I had a 2E DM who said he would never try 3E because he liked the 2E system - he even said he liked THAC0. That really annoys me because the 3.5 way is mechanically exactly the same but without the stupidity. He says all this without even knowing a single 3.5 element or rule except that they...

    D&D 4E My First 4E Game: Disappointing. Yours? (UPDATED with player feedback)

    Wrong, wrong, absolutely wrong. The greatest game ever made is Escape From Atlantis. It never goes sour. That is because it is the essence of sour. Selfishly trying to save your own clan while taking great pleasure in killing another's is beautiful. :mad:

    IF a PDFs of the 3 core books were leaked, would you:

    Printing a 300 page pdf would cost a damn site more than buying the book in ink and paper. Plus the hardcopy would be rubbish, not to mention the time and annoyance.

    IF a PDFs of the 3 core books were leaked, would you:

    The one thing I like about pdfs that a hard copy doesn't have is the ability to copy and paste relevent information over to a new document without having to type for hours. If you have an encounter you can paste all the tricky info you need for that encounter into an encounter page.

    IF a PDFs of the 3 core books were leaked, would you:

    Download, still buy. Having a pdf is not the same as having a hard copy of a book. 1. Books don't make your eyes bleed. 2. pdfs are supposed to be portable - if you consider a PC portable. Even if you have a laptop you either have to have it plugged in or read really quickly before your...

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    It needs to be at least a little open. TSR tried to do the whole Microsoft ball breaker thing and it killed them. I think one of the reasons 3.5 is so popular is because of the OGL. Yeah - no THAC0, etc but there is not that much difference between 3,2 or 1.

    D&D 3E/3.5 WotC Rejecting 3.5 Writers?

    He is working for a competitor that is working on a competing product. Can you imagine the Allies letting a German employed nuclear scientist come into to their lab to help them do some work on their H-Bomb and then saying here is some cash and then letting him go back to Germany. It would...

    'Dungeons & Dragons' fights for its future

    It isn't the 4th edition since 1974. Just thought I'd pop that in.

    Does a paladin's daily require him to drop his sword?

    I would imagine that the implement either only needs to be on the character's person. If you want to imagine your character holding it out in front of him with radiant beams shooting out or whatever, then all you have to do is have that action have no mechanical effect on held items - like...

    D&D 4E What place does dual wielding have in 4E?

    I would guess it is a martial exploit of some description that just allows an extra basic attack (they aren't that great in 4E) perhaps as a move action with tree exploits that add to that such as offhand parry which adds to AC/Reflex. Just guessing.

    Bards: Arcane or Shadow?

    I cannot think of a more SHADOW character than the Ninja. I know it is Asian themed but that isn't a good reason to just pop it in with the Monk and Samurai. The same way Tao Wizard should not be Ki either. I wish they would not use the Ki power source. They need to give it a different name...

    Bards: Arcane or Shadow?

    I was going to put almost the exact same thing until I read this - so I will just say Seconded.

    Undead subject to sleep?

    I wouldn't have a problem with the slow effecting the undead - it's just sleep doesn't really fit no matter how you wangle it. Interesting though.

    Undead subject to sleep?

    I think you can just take it that undead are immune to sleep. Just because it isn't explicit in the info we have now doesn't mean that it will not in the final print, and if it isn't then it is an error. I understand some of the reasoning in this thread, but the fact is, with the exception of...

    D&D 4E 4E at the Printers!

    I am the same way. I have bought Races and Classes/Worlds and Monsters - I want a pdf of Worlds and Monsters for reference/collective purposes even though I have the physical book. I do not think legally it is copyright violation if you own an orginal and do not share it.

    I was unconsious 20 minutes ago, but I'm ok now..

    I have fallen off some railings head first. I pitched so fast I didn't have time to put my hands up to potect myself. I must have been knocked unconscious because some people had instantly disappeared when I got up (probably to get help, lol.) I got up and went about my business. The nly thing...

    Will we get a classic Chimera? (ie. no dragon head)

    Trouble is - that is just a lion. Its tail is pointless and a goat head on the side is also pointless. So in the end it is just an odd looking lion.

    Hear, hear. I don't mind the powers in themselves, but the names stink - like the name Warlord.
