    Essentials Character Sheet Online!

    I like it, particularly how partial I (and most others, it seems) am to using the CB for character sheets. There's just so much less to have to deal with on it compared to the previous sheets. Having everything on one side of one sheet makes things easier. I really do hope they add this as an...

    How is PvP in 4th Ed?

    Hehe... Jaws of the Wolf + Off-Hand Strike + Hunter's Quarry + ACTION POINT Twin Strike = WTFPWNED! Also, my space goat Mage is 34/74 in Alterac Valley and the Alliance on Echo Isles US control Wintergrasp the vast majority of the time. Just throwing that out there.

    D&D 4E Essential 4e: Heroes of the Forgotten Lands

    Yay! That's what I was hoping they'd be!

    D&D 4E Essential 4e: Heroes of the Forgotten Lands

    I haven't been paying all that much attention to the forums of late (any of the 4E ones I go to), so I don't know if it was found out elsewhere, but what are the Eladrin's stat mods like, now?

    Unearthed Arcana!

    I'd buy that for a dollar! (this is a pop culture reference, not a statement of what I actually think it's worth; oh, and give me a Knowledge [pop culture] roll, while I'm thinking of it)

    Mike Mearls Ruined Everything

    GAAAHH! This hurts my brain! Quick! Think about purple elephants! Think about purple elephants! OH NO! Now I'm thinking about Mike Mearls ruining purple elephants! EVERYTHING IS RUINED FOREVER!

    How is PvP in 4th Ed?

    Sadly, there is no universally agreed upon counter to that battle cry, but if there was one, you can be certain that I would be yelling it to counter your own at this very moment! (I think that pretty much sums up why the Alliance typically does worse in PvP)

    How is PvP in 4th Ed?

    Ok, what you need to do is get two parties set up against each other, each with a base. In each base is a flag. The goal is to get the oppositions flag and... stop me if you've heard this... return it to your own base. Thing is, if the other team has your flag, you can't turn theirs in to your...

    Fixing your Players Handbook One

    There isn't an option to "print out the PHB1 pages of errata and keep them loose inside the front or back cover and trimmed to not protrude"? That's my suggestion.

    There won't be a 4.5 because WotC doesn't need a 4.5

    I, as a player or a DM, shouldn't have to do the work of the people getting paid to write the rules just like I shouldn't have to write my own patch to a computer program to stop it from crashing continually, take the fast food burger I got back and make a new one because the workers there...

    Versatile Expertise, Weapon as an Implement, and Monk

    Having to spend even one less feat to achieve your goals is more powerful an option than having to spend even one more feat to achieve the same results. In, say, a game where the DM lives and (the party, potentially) dies by random loot rolls (the option to be presented in the very near future...

    There won't be a 4.5 because WotC doesn't need a 4.5

    I disagree with everything you posted on a fundamental level which cannot be properly expressed due to some small failing of my own and my currently rum-addled brain. I might try to do a better job tomorrow (today? it's 4 AM where I am now), but I just wanted to set that up as at least a...

    Versatile Expertise, Weapon as an Implement, and Monk

    Can I take Weapon Focus (any weapon I am proficient with) and Weapon Expertise (any weapon I am proficient with)? Because that would be swell. (I hope you can all see [and taste... like in the back of your mouth] the sarcasm in that, though it's not meant to offend, merely to educate)

    New Stat Block... With Pictures...

    A WILD SNOOKIE has appeared! WILD SNOOKIE used SPRAY ON TAN! It was ineffective.

    New Stat Block... With Pictures...

    No. Unequivocally no. Should they have that sort of thing in the monster's entry in whatever book they're presented in? Yes please! I usually enjoy reading about that sort of thing. But not in stat blocks. Stat blocks are what is used to run the monster in combat, so when you're actually...

    Why is/was melee training so bad?

    Also, if they're true to their word, that Rogue is going to be able to get an additional Sneak Attack in with that hit. Average Sneak Attack damage more than makes up for damage lost to the Melee Training errata AND that attack will most likely target REF from a little into Paragon on. ...bazinga!

    How will you incorporate Essentials?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but is there some sort of secret initiation method that is required for allowing new rules and errata? Some sort of secret handshake I need to master before being able to use new material? I'm not going to have to go to some secret location, be paddled profusely...

    Forgotten Realms print rpg products in 2011?

    I always thought the Swordmage was the Bladesinger, since, you know, it came out in the FRPG. The 4E version of it, at least. Oh well.

    Race Character Optimisation: Just Choose Dwarf

    Most dwarf fighters already had 18s in STR, so they didn't, in fact, gain a +1 to hit overall. They gained more points to put elsewhere, so they probably gained a +1 to hit on OAs, if anything. If they didn't have an 18 STR starting, that puts them -2 compared to the +3 proficiency bonus weapon...
