Every time I see this sentiment I smile. :) I have played in 4 released MMOs, still play in 2 and have beta'd half a dozen more. I have spent alot of time on their respective forums. The desire to share your character creations is not unique to MMOs. In fact, there are more character "builds"...

Then why would they have listed 1st level hit points as 12 + Constitution Score? Surely, that isn't a Rogue only modifier. And it would be extremely inconsistent to list that in both places, but not a per-level Con bonus. Now, this I am more inclined to accept since there doesn't appear to be...

Aye! Well said.

What? :confused: Just Kidding. :p

wingsandsword - So, OD&D is nothing more than a footnote that should be ignored, but "4th Edition is about intentionally turning its back on the history and traditions of the game." No contradiction there at all. For many of us, OD&D is no mere footnote. It is the establishment of the feel of...

Half-Elf, Half-Orc and Gnome were not in every prior edition. Neither were Ranger, Paladin, Illusionist, Druid, Bard, Monk, Barbarian, or Assassin. In fact, the only races that were in every edition through 3e are Human, Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling. The only classes that were in every edition...

Regarding Leather armor only: It could be that while weapons have moved from categories to individual proficiencies, armor may have retained categories but changed from being based on level of protection in the game system (light/medium/heavy) to being based on actual qualities of the armor. In...

A few thoughts: chaotic evil For those who were hoping (like I am) that Law and Chaos have gone away, it is possible that the reference to "evil or chaotic evil rogues" may indicate that Law and Chaos are presented as an optional advanced alignment system. Or maybe I'm reaching. 2 builds...

Only if they have boobs.

"Something boob-like" is clearly splitting the Pro-Boob vote, and should suspend its candidacy immediately! I have a sneaking suspicion that something boob-like is actually in cahoots with old no boobs and is only staying in the race to guarantee no boobs the win. Probably in exchange for...

meh. I have no room for Kudos. I am using all of my containers to store Chemical X.

Let's not forget that the dragon is not a cube of meat. Most of the space in that 20x20x20 cube is empty and available for dodging and maneuvering around in. To clarify, let's look at a human warrior first. He is dodging around in his 5x5x5 area. He is, let us suppose, 6 feet tall but his knees...

I voted for Unearthed Arcana because I love modular optional systems. However, the single product that I feel was hands down the best 3E/d20 product of all time was not on either this list or the original 3rd party poll: Iron Heroes.

Chessex makes both 8-sided and 12-sided d4s. :cool:

I always thought this was ridiculous. In the real world, just about any active flyer (wing flapping vs. just gliding) can hover. Maybe not for very long, but at least for a 6 second round. Flying and gliding should be two different modes of travel. Gliding should require wide turns and a...

I voted "Literacy is fine", but with exactly the same caveats. Although, I always allow a player to choose for their character to be illiterate and always allowed Barbarians to be literate if the player could explain it in the context of the character's stated background.

But, if we add Tin and Zinc dragons, we can make Bronze and Brass hybrids! :p Actually, "alloy dragons" is sort of an interesting idea.

Unless they change armor to provide DR instead of AC, STR will remain the most logical choice to add to the attack roll in the context of D&D. I had really hoped that Mike Mearls would have been able to insert his excellent Iron Heroes variable DR rules for armor. Then they could have taken the...

Not that I am sure that the e-versions we get will be this way, but PDf files can have hyperlinks, bookmarks, other documents, audio, video, and even scripts embedded in them. So, even if they are just PDFs (which hasn't been confirmed yet as far as I can tell) they could conceivably have as...

I kind of like the idea of a party venturing into the Shadowfell to try to bring back their departed comrade's spirit.
