    Do people in your games actually use "builds"

    I level up organically based on things that the PC seems to be doing a lot, or might be doing and could be good at type thing. However, I do have a rough list or any feats/options that i noticed during creation that i consider first when leveling up (but it is by no means an extensive list to...

    AoOs?

    i could be remembering wrong, but i am pretty sure that AoOs (or OAs, depending on your edition of familiarity) was specifically listed as something that was being considered for an optional rules module rather than core.

    Is it just me or has the XP system been removed

    Some features were turned off (like the XP system) to keep the servers from crashing under the strain of extra activity. The extra activity being a result of the fact that the DDNext playtest was released today. It is a little "huh?" moment at first but it's better than the site crashing. But...

    If classes were a color.

    i may be missing something (i.e. maybe you play with rotating groups or what not). But have you considered making them per PC rather than per class. i.e. rather than "Fighter" say the PC's name and then a color that the player picks as appropriate for that character rather than picking it based...

    Inherent bonuses: winners & losers, pros & cons

    Sounds like your overall goal will be met by implementing the system. I say go for it. While that may be true... that is a trade off that the player in question can make. Just be sure to explain it before hand so that he/she doesn't feel tricked. Having said that, I think you'll find that...

    i'm not ready to dismiss a show next season sight unseen -- i'll give the new producers a chance to prove themselves. But I do think i would have enjoyed seeing what Harmon continued to come out with...and now we'll just see what is churned out of the brain trust next season.

    rumors are circulating that dan harmon (show creator and head guy) is being replaced for season 4 by the network with some guys that do more typical sitcom stuff, if that is true, i suspect next season will be more general and less niche... Edit: Confirmation of rumor on Dan Harmon's own blog...

    Channel Divinity Cleric - what exactly does "another use" really mean ?

    You get Channel Divinity once per encounter. You use it (say for example for Turn Undead -- Turn undead is an encounter power and therefore is now expended). You use an item or Paragon Path feature to regain a use of Channel Divinity. The Turn Undead power is still already expended but you have...

    How do I "Ignore" again?

    Another method: * Find a post from the person and click on their name to get a drop down menu. * On that menu click "View Public Profile" * On their public profile, below their name, but above their visitor messages tab is a drop down menu that says "User Lists" Click on "User Lists" and you...

    Are you a preparation junky?

    My name is fba827 and I'm a prep-a-holic. Any time I start to prep a little, I just want to prep more and more. My brain tells me "come on, you can prep one more scenario, one more chart, one more 'catch all template for on the fly', it'll be really cool and then you can stop any time you want...

    Operation: Power Level Gary

    i was just rewatching "Bender's Game" (one of the Futurama cartoon movies... not only D&D inspired with lots of D&D references tossed in.... Gysers of Gygax, etc. there is also Gygax's little cameo). Anyway, my point being that it reminded me of this thread so I had to toss some more xp his...

    Non-FR Genasi

    maybe it is a thriving race on an elemental plane. but an individual (or a group of any size if you want more running around) came to this plane recently (or long ago if you want them to be settled and familiar) for some reason to do something -- escape? explore? migrate if their own land was...

    EURKEA Season Finale 5.0--The Real Thing: Part 2--2012

    that ending was unexpected, though, who knows -- i suspect that (highlight to read) . totally off topic, but felica day did another music video The Guild: I'm the One That's Cool Directed by Jed Whedon, Co-Written By Jed Whedon & Felicia Day - YouTube i liked some of her earlier ones better...

    Petrified Character, What about their items?

    Like the Jester, I have always ruled that the gear is petrified too (some how it just seems simpler to me that way else the other PCs try and spend time figuring out what they can take from the body and not -- i.e. you can't get a backpack off without bending his arms but since he's petrified no...

    I don't know if this is a thing...

    while i completely appreciate the added immersion afforded by integrating the fluff into the mechanics, in actual game play I'd prefer the 4e style. Reasons: 1) quicker to see on the fly as needed during game play 2) easier to reflavor if trying to do something different 3) the more...

    DMPCs, Companions, etc.

    I believe (in this context) DMPC = a NPC built just like a PC would be built and traveling with the party, etc. Companion = a NPC built using the companion NPC rules (a very streamlined set of level + bonus numbers -- very similar to monster charts but slightly different). The first one is...
