3 Attacks and 4 Attacks Equal? If you as a player had the option to take three attacks or four attacks, which would you take? If based on a 50% average they are equivalent, why will 100% of players take the 4 attack option over haivng 3 attacks? It is a chance to hit one extra time if you...

Three Attacks Is More Reasonable to Me While there is room for reasonable interpretations either way, I think it is more reasonable to read it as a total of three attacks if you have the right weapon and two if you do not. It appears the intent is to encourage a particular weapon style, and...

Infinite Teleports? The build depends on allowing the character to teleport twice based on the two deaths created by the simultaneous damage effect of the slashing wake. If the character were to kill three minions in his wake, should he be able to teleport three more times and effectively...

Good Format -- All the Info is in One Place I think this is is a good way to show the skill challenge and to help me think out a skill challenge. With this layout in a template, you could fill one in on the fly as the party comes upon a skill challenge or have a more detailed one already...

If You Can Continue Move, Then The Dragonshield's Ability Is Seriously Gimped If the sequence is -- Player moves three, Dragonshield shifts away one square, Player continues by moving one more squre to stay within range of the Dragonshield -- the Dragonshield ability seems seriously gimped. I...

There is another thread about how 4E reminds many of us of the feel of pre-3E DND (the "retro" thread). I think the adventures will also be more like 2E adventures, although on steroids. 2E adventures already included the idea of pools of enemies with different roles, combat encounters in...

My First Character -- Fear the 1st Level Magic-User (Or Not) My first character was a magic user. I joined a group in high school playing OD&D, and just followed along trying to learn the game on the fly. First encounter, I fired my one spell -- magic missle. After that, I just tried to stay...

Of Course All Weapons Used to Do the Same Damage, Too! I was so happy when Greyhawk came out and suddenly we had different damage values for weapons. OD&D also used to cap out your HD at 9, and after that you got a set number of hit points per level based on class with no Con bonus added in...

Paizo -- Great Products, Just Not What I'm Spending My $$ on Anymore I love the Paiso products. I am a charter subscriber. I don't play their AP, because I have a long running campaign in the FR. However, I've enjoyed reading them and pillaging them for ideas, characters, magic items, and...

Dragon is "100% Official" and therefore has to meet WOTC/Core standards A couple of points -- everything is Dragon is "100% Official." Therefore, Paizo has the right and the responsibility to edit material to meet this broad standard. 2d -- I've had good luck working with Dragon/Paizo over...
