    DDXP characters - unexpected tactics?

    Is heavy armour still the Cinderella?

    One thing we can detremine int his thread is that mithril was an oft (ab)used material for armor. It always seemed to me like the whole "counts as one lighter type of armor" was a bit overpowered...

    Multiclassing and Powers/Day

    If they work it like that, I can see it happening yeah. I'm just really hoping for a better system than in 3e. I always liked multiclassing to give my characters (usually rogues) some cool extras, but it always seemed to nerf any spellcasting class I took. For example the 4 cleric levels of my...

    What the *scratches head* Tiefling, Eladrin...

    And I'll probably never be able to get it into my stubborn brain that melee is not prunounced muh-lee, but more like mè-lay... Also, I hated French especially because of its overdose of verb tenses. Spanish however is the language of the Gods. It's the easiest language I have had to pick up out...

    Developing a "points of light" campaign setting

    Well, the PoL idea goe sboth ways of course. It's both spreading mor elight to the dark areas, but also protecting the few PoL's that exist from being snuffed out. I imagine the BBEG would be someone trying to overrun those border towns or last vestiges of civilization or whatever you want to...

    Yeah, gotta love Germany for stringing their words together. My favorite is Eisenbahnknotenpunkthinundherschieber, also known as a train-track-junction-back-and-forth-mover. :D

    D&D 4E the 4e debate: a typology of players

    I'm a bit of 9 and 10... Overall I think the games are improving (liked 3e better than 2nd, liked 3.5 better than 3e, looks like I'll like 4e better than all of those) with a few exceptions that will probably be adjusted for with a few house rules...

    Multiclassing and Powers/Day

    That would make it very profitable to start out with a fighter level and then go on to wizard levels though, because you'd have an enormous amount of healing surges and have a good defense on first level. Your wizard power progression would be slightly lower, but I'd think the extra healing...

    Is the 15 minute adventuring day now the 90 minute adventuring day?

    The 15 minute adventuring day is all too recognizable at the moment... We're playing a 17th level campaign in the Demon Web Pits and our DM just loves to throw high level monsters at us (him being more than just a bit of a power player). So we run out of healing after 1 or 2 combats and then...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Will you still play 3.5?

    I'll run a 4e campaign this summer and that will probably decide whether we go for 4e completely or not. One of our DM's seems totally in love with high level 3.x play (to the dismay of some of the players), so he might not want to switch too soon, but I'm sure the others will be more open...

    What the *scratches head* Tiefling, Eladrin...

    It's a point of contention between me (Dutch) and my American girlfriend. She says Dutch grammar makes no sense, but at least the pronunciation of every word (no matter how guttural or impossible it may seem to foreigners) is pretty much as written, while English has way simpler grammar, but you...

    Multiclassing and Powers/Day

    Hmm, although it's a good thing to allow some mixing, this might create a host of generic crossover characters with all the best abilities of the different classes if it isn't restricted somehow... Anyway, I guess we'll have to wait and see how the exact rule turns out...

    D&D 4E What are the 4E changes you like?

    I love the new spell casting system. Never running out of magic missiles is the way to go for me. The will/encounter/daily thing really works for me in other classes as well btw... I love that lvl 1 charcters are no longer as likely to get killed in 1 hit. That was exactly why I always started...

    D&D 4E Veteran, balanced group gives 4E a whirl

    I'm pretty sure the rules also state that if you push/pull/shift enemies you may always cut the movement short earlier if you want, so it's up to 5 squares at the cleric's disgression. Also, involuntary movement never places someobody into place he wouldn't be able to walk, so unless those...

    D&D 4E DDXP 4E Rules Appendix

    I imagine that would be somewhat like the fighter throwing an ally over a wall of fire to get to the enemies on the other side? Potentially useful, but still pretty dangerous... Me likes... :)

    D&D 4E Where the break between pro and anti 4e is

    [3]I will not get to play the race/class combinations that I have been traditionally allowed to play in prior editions. As for this one, I always limited the amount of classes and races my characters could use in my campaigns, which were usually not based on classid D&D comoslogy anyway. I feel...

    D&D 4E 4E Liker - anything you worry about?

    I dislike very little of 4e thus far, but I am worried about the miniatures aspect. I played warhammer for a long time, so I don't mind, but some in my group are horrible sometimes when to comes to using minis in combat (which we don't do all that often). They simply don't use them precisely...
