The problem is that if you don't let it, its something you're doing for the sake of game balance that flies in the face of reality. That leads to disbelief in the setting and the game. And agian inventive players can get around the signed names thing with forgery and other devices. And doling...

But the thing is, adventurers do all occasionally go to the biggest city around. If you have a shop full of good swag in that city, priced at 80-90% of book value, the adventurers will come to you, points of light or no. And whats to say that the party can't build connections with ppl who need...

The massive quest with no downtime detracts from other roleplaying aspects of the game. For example there is no time to build castles, make magic items, join / create organizations, etc. As for adventurer availability see my previos post. And with the prescence of teleportation magic, there is...

I could also have their shop burn down, but the end result is they will feel cheated either way. If they are willing and able to pay 100% of the value of the item, it stands to reason (especially for heroic tier items) that other adventurers would be willing to do the same. If they put effort...

Agreed. This is the first major problem I've had with the preview material. I don't know what I'm going to do when my players start becoming merchants. I can see them stockpiling gear until they get to a metropolis. Then setting up a store to sell their magic items at 80% and undercutting...

I would assume that the NPC could just take the Ritual Casting feat in order to gain the ability to use rituals. I'm more wondering about how the level requirements are going to work.

From the few playtest articles at epic levels that I've been able to find, the people do seem to indicate that death is a more common occurance at those levels. However the party is able to deal with these events on the fly in such a way that it doesn't "seem like death". An example is the...

Bull! Chuck Norris is his own power source. In fact, all characters with a divine power souce draw their strength FROM Chuck Norris, as he is the one true god. :melee: Chuck Norris Roundhouse (standard: at-will) Weapon (You're damn right Chuck Norris is a weapon) +100 vs. AC; Target dies...

Glad to hear people are at least giving the game a fair shake before passing judgement. A couple questions: 1. I too have my doubts about the "streamlined" nature of 4e. IMO it seems that you'll just be tracking small incremental bonuses and penalties instead of the stack of buff spells like...

The fact that the DDXP character had a wizard daily as an at-will power doesn't mean all half-elves will. Since the feats each character had was not expressly listed anywhere on the sheet Tira could have just taken the wizard multiclass feat. This may mean that half-elves just get a bonus feat...

Man, definitely don't want to toe-to-toe those bloodragers. On their turn, they hit you... On your turn, they hit you... When your bloodied, they hit you harder and heal... Yeesh ;)

With the "Tiers" revelation released today by WotC, we all got a look at the chart that shows when powers are acquired by characters. Now keeping in mind that this is an incomplete look at the total number of abilities a high level character has, it seems that a bad choice here or there could...

I, like most gamers not fortunate enough to be playtesting 4e, was chomping at the bit to get info on the mechanics of how 4e games were going to be different than the 3-3.5 gamers I've enjoyed for the past 8 years. With the D&D Experience a few weeks ago and trickle of leaked information since...
