    Dark Sun - Player's Guide rendered obsolete

    I like that you try to interpret my phrasing as claiming ownership of the setting. No, it's my setting in that it's the one I like. This should be obvious, but hey, getting on a high horse is fun. And to me, yes, they destroyed pretty much everything I like. Thus, they destroyed the setting...

    Feat Tax and Why It Harms the System

    Yes, exactly, it wasn't a feat tax because it was Deva-only. If it HAD been open to everyone it would have been a feat tax. Deva-only was IMO the only reason that it didn't get hate for being such. And yeah, the errata was too slow. Pre-errata I bemoaned IW being Deva-only because I personally...

    Dark Sun - Player's Guide rendered obsolete

    Yeah that's pretty much exactly it for me as well. They basically destroyed my setting to make it all 'fit'. 4E FR, to me, might as well just plain not be FR. It's PoL with different names and FR for people who didn't like FR(Who still don't like it, because it says FR on it). IMO of course but...

    Feat Tax and Why It Harms the System

    It was called Immortal Warding, but never got the feat tax hate it should have because it was for some really stupid reason Deva-only and had a bit about adding the warding bonus to a Deva's radiant/necrotic resist in addition to keeping the Warding going while unconscious. Yeah, even though you...

    Is there a social obligation?

    There's an obligation to make characters that work together and don't overshadow each other. If everyone else's character is only 'incompetent' in relation to your munchkined-up overpowered character, you're the one breaking the obligation. (And if everyone else is munchkined to death and you...

    I'm calling it: The Edition War is over! And the winner is...

    *dies laughing* And the edition wars have totally been won by F.A.T.A.L.

    I love the Feydark.

    I swear to god if I ever see anyone anywhere have something with Lolth's minions moving into the deep caverns below the islands of Arvandor I will scream for a year straight. :p And yes, reflections of the world, but then you can argue that the Feywild and Shadowfell being *reflections* is the...

    I love the Feydark.

    "Religion is a trick you play on the deities to make them give you things." Awesome. Not so awesome: Feydark? Seriously? And Shadowdark? I thought we were getting away from 'pointless symmetry'. Apparently not. And yeah, we've known about them for a while, but they're not any less stupid to...

    Dice Pr0n

    I'll come armed with the chainmail d8 for the inevitable battle then. :cool:

    Dice Pr0n

    It's also quite large, though it weighs nearly nothing since it's hollow, and it's as much a pain to use as it looks to be. I do like that particular shape of d24 much better than the standard one, though. Weem I'm coming to your house and swiping your Planescape stuff. ;)

    Dice Pr0n

    You know you want to roll that chainmail d8. Or clonk someone over the head with it. Possibly both.

    Dice Pr0n

    Someone asked for dice pr0n? The pile pictures are massively out of date. I only had 600-something at the time, I've got over 1000 now. Haven't taken pictures in ages. Need to do that one of these years. Of course if you really want dice pr0n, you want Kevin...

    2009 in Review

    High points: Finally finding a RL D&D group. Character Builder is awesome. My dice collection broke 1,000. Low points: Pathfinder refreshing the edition wars yet again and deepening the divide. How more and more stuff keeps getting put behind the DDi paywall and how Dragon keeps getting...

    January 2010 Editorial Calendar

    If they did a martial bow-using controller, it would step all over Seeker's toes.

    January 2010 Editorial Calendar

    January manages to have absolutely nothing for me, woohoo. :D No Winning Races: Eladrin? :erm: I feel unloved. Here's hoping CD: Kord will be of the useful type of CD article. ...I notice that the Underdark and Dragonborn art galleries are listed as free. A mistake, or did they actually...

    Penny Arcade - How the Illithid Stole Lolthmas

    And it was very nice to see that they used the correct pronunciation of the word "drow" (rhyming with "crow"). ;) Nai :angel:

    4e Races I'd love to see, but probably never will:

    Half-eladrin. Half-elf doesn't even work for what it's supposed to be for me, there's nothing elven about them other than the two or three elf feats they can actually take and lolpointyears. I want something caught between normal mortal and fey that actually *reflects* that. While I'm dreaming...

    Goblins, the final PHB3 race?

    Drow are DEX/CHA. They need to do a damned half-eladrin. Make it the missing and much-needed INT/CON. It'd also be something that isn't horribly out of place in 80% of campaigns like all these weird damned races they keep coming up with that are barely even humanoid.

    Is an 18/19/20 an absolute must?

    Yes, and that's perfectly fine as long as whatever you're making isn't completely ridiculous. Refluffing something to be something else that *does* exist is where it gets 'wait what no just play the damned race'.

    Is an 18/19/20 an absolute must?

    Yes. Massively. He's not an Eladrin mechanically. You are playing an elf Cleric and saying it's an Eladrin, not for any roleplaying reasons, but because they are inarguably *better Clerics* than Eladrin mechanically. Eladrin are terrible clerics, and you know this, so in order to get your...
