D&D has always leaned that way at high/epic levels. Since AD&D, we've had deities & demigods. Since D&D boxed sets we've had immortal level play. And when its not cooked into the rules, Wizards high level spells and some of the magic items start allowing some of these things. It has always been...

It's unfortunate that the intentions of mentioning the iron bound door got misunderstood. The point in the article was that if you don't improve any area of your character, then it won't automatically improve with your level. Characters remain weak if they don't work on strength. They remain...

I think you should give humans +1 to one ability of choice and once per day advantage on any check or attack whenever they want it. Maybe give them +1 on two abilities. You could also give then advantage or +1 on all saving throws.

Does detect magic get abusive being at-will or is it just right? On one hand, it reflects a sixth sense of a spellcaster. On the other, its going to become a standard assumed part of a Dm's descriptions to the players. Should there be any limitations on detect magic's use?

There was ninety-nine Before me they who came first No soup for me then!

Most business owners are not going to share their business plans that they worked for 3-6 months + on. If they've been in business a while, those plans also use their years of experience. I suggest you go to your local chamber of commerce and ask for help with a business plan there. You can...

The trick is you can easily balance non-combat vs combat (i.e. attack powers vs utility powers slots) and you can easily balance active vs static (i.e. powers vs class features or feats). Where is gets tricky is having 3.5 class features or Star Wars style trees and then also have combat and...

Ok, so I have a home brew system I am working on, but I keep hitting a wall in an area of game balance and could use some ideas on how to tackle this problem. Here is the issue: I want to have talent based character classes with 4e style powers. So as your leveling you get to customize your...

With each edition of D&D, designers have to consider which features of the game are "sacred cows" worthy of keeping. Sacred cows are elements of D&D that have to remain in the game for the game to feel like or be D&D. I was curious which of these features do you feel a previous or new edition...

Mods, please delete this thread. The poll timed out on me. Going to fix it in a new thread.

Except after you get your "magic wand" car, you are not going to spend money at a car dealer which supports the selling, distribution and manufacturing jobs that brought that car to you in the first place. Downloading steals from all of those people, not the end user. You are getting all of the...

Scott, Thank you for the update and we look forward to seeing your work when it is done. I sure alot of things within Wotc takes your time everyday, just do your best to keep all of the fans and potential D&D partners in loop when you can! Keep up the good work and thanks again, Nate

I want to second this request. Scott, where we at? We understand weather and holidays got in the way with the end of the year release of the GSL. But now we are at Jan 19th here, and last I remember you said we would have something in the first part of Jan. Please just give us an update at...

Here is where it is unfair. Your solution requires poeple tackcing on subsystems from various sources to make 3.5 gain some of the improvements 4.0 has. With 4.0, all of those options are built into the system and streamlined from the ground up. Then 4.0 goes further to remove issues like Save...

This is actually the worst part of the 4e mutliclassing. Characters cannot evolve or have radical life altering events without DM intervention. The 3e system was more conductive to this, as seen in Star Wars saga. Luke Skywalker doesn't start out as a Jedi Knight. He is a fringer, then pilot...

I am a FLGS too, and I can concur most of that. The real issue for game manufacturers right now isn't the game stores and their end customers, its the source materials and distribution costs for those products. With the dollar's value taking a hit and raw goods manufacturers having issues, the...

Not looking to argue. I always have heard that hobbies and affordable entertainment tend to do better during hard times so people can take their minds off of their troubles. Didn't the movies grow in popularity during the great depression and had people attending theater on a near weekly basis...

My condolences to all of the fine people WOTC laid off. You all have done incredible work over the years and we hope to hear soon what your new plans are. This is a terrible time both of the year and during the economic crisis and our blessings are with you and your families. As for the...

Anyone want to take a stab at my inquiry?
