From what I understand (and I do not have the books or a PDF available to me, just what's said here), I think it's almost as if godplate/warplate are treated like materials. Imagine, if you will, "godplate"is steel hammered over a diamond from the Seven Heavens, and "warplate" is steel forged...

Actually, in 4e, it will be revealed that dwarves are actually marsupials. When a young dwarf is born, they are the size of a small pebble and crawl into the mother's pouch to continue developing. They emerge three to six months later with a full beard and Axe proficiency.

I don't allow mechanics in my roleplaying games. They get grease all over my dice.

Possibly because his quote says "opinions on 4e" and he hasn't seen "4e" yet, only the preview adventure. That's like judging a movie from a teaser trailer. Having also read through KotS, I can see things that would not have been *my* first choices to change about D&D - I don't know if I'm a...

If not a "Ki" power source, then Monks are obviously Martial characters. But I get the feeling "Ki" will be the new power source for a number of classes, probably with the "Kara-Tur" flavor to them. Ki Defender = Monk. I'd put them in the Defender role, using their supernatural agility and...

In fact, I believe it may be totally bogus.

Simple, the "laser" (meaning a ranged attack defined as radiant energy) is a beam of darkness. It glows black. Mechanically, it is no different than an at-will power like: Pokey Things Flying Fast: Cleric Attack 1 "A pointed wooden stick flies from your weapon to pierce your opponent."...

I figure that the Cake principle works best in this situation: Encounter powers: you regain them when you have time to sit down and eat a piece of cake without getting crumbs everywhere. You can't do it on the run, and you can't do it while hiding because those darn goblins will smell the cake...

So far, I think I like what I'm hearing - with the caveat that this is only the first *EVER* information released about 4th Ed. Granted, my opinions tend to be based off two questions: a) "How are the fighters?" b) "How are the rogues?" If those two give me happy feelings, then I consider it...

Honestly? I find all the 4E talk to be two things: 1) Presumptuous on the level of Chicken Little, and 2) Irrelevant in the extreme. D&D right now as of this moment is a complete system. WotC could stop producing supplements and never publish another gaming book again, and it would still be a...

I think this is the coolest concept I have come across all week.

My thoughts: Human Monk2/Ranger2/Fighter4 STR: 12 DEX: 17 (bump to 18 at 4th level) CON: 16 INT: 14 WIS: 15 (bump to 16 at 8th level) CHA: 11 Free feats (monk): Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, Combat Reflexes Free feats (ranger): Track, Two-Weapon Fighting Fighter bonus feats: Dodge...

Neither of those are prohibited by the rules. Both rogues and necromancers can be Lawful Good.

It depends on how much the mortal elves actually need their patron deity, instead of just using her as a source of cleric spells and traditional religious rites. If the mortal elves decide to go Evil as a race and engage in retributive warfare against the orcs, then you have the problem of a...

Ah, but Grapple does not have to mean "lift". A character in a grapple is simply restricted from taking complex actions either due to physical restraint (the big guy has his arms around me in a bearhug/the kraken has me wrapped in a tentacle) or some form of immobilization (No, I can't...

Human rogue3/cleric5 with a CHA of 14, a WIS of 12, and a STR of 24 (18 to start, +1 at 4th level, +1 at 8th level, and a +4 Belt of Giant Strength), who took (back in 3.0) the Two-Weapon Fighting and Ambidexterity feats to better wield the double shortswords he carried around. Mechanically...

It looks like you've put a significant amount of effort into making this character difficult to hit. How does he measure up to the other party members in benefitting the team? Is he a melee/ranged combatant? If so, is his combat ability relatively close to his peers'? Is he supposed to be the...

1: The ability to separate reality from fantasy. D&D is a game. Beyond that, it's a hobby. It is not a "way of life", it is not a defining facet of your self-image. If it is, then you've become the stereotype Jack Chick made all those little pamphlets about. 2: The ability to separate fantasy...

If it would not unbalance the campaign, I would say yes - but also give an in-character reason. Like a blow to the head makes the barbarian slightly nearsighted and deprives him of that amazing skill with a bow. He's so angry about this that he gains the ability to rage. Just sub out the...
