Hrmmm I could go either way. But knowing nothing about it, I don't really know what to say.

Aw man, I'm jealous. Last year was the first time I was able to attend GenCon and I played in Piratecat's Eversink game. Had a *ton* of fun. One of my few goals for GenCon this year was to play in his game but, alas, I had to miss out on GenCon altogether. :( I think the DM has the overall say...

Pretty good assessment. And that may be the driving force behind the rumored "release in small amounts"--it doesn't seem like you're spending a lot when you pick and choose little bits. The move from 2nd ed to 3e was sorely needed. 2nd edition was very old, clunky, and was broken in many ways...

Correct! And I'm not saying errata is a bad thing. However, I liken somewhat to the way many current software developers operate--those who release a billion patches for the same game, usually fixing really stupid and obvious bugs that may not be showstoppers but detract from the game. The...

Encounters where the enemy can keep its distance and hammer the party are always a tough issue, especially when said enemy can heal. Usually these creatures *have* to use this tactic or they will die quickly. The mephit's flight, fast healing, and breath weapon are all factors that make up its...

To some extent, I think you're right. But there is definitely a breed of consumers who will not jump on the bandwagon at the drop of a hat. Obviously WotC would be betting on the type of person who will gobble up anything and everything. I tend to pick and choose what I want--this adds up to...

Ah, but you must remember this: for the first few months, the PHB and DMG were discounted ($10, I believe). It still stunk that I had to turn around a couple of years later and buy them again in 3.5 though. --CT

Hmmm... You're probably right. Well, I *know* you're right that they will do what they think is best for the game. I just truly hope they consider very closely what they do. 4th edition may attract new fans but I hope not at the expense of avid gamers. At that point, profitability (which is...

4e? Meh I know I'm late to the party on this but here are a few quick thoughts. I don't really think 4e is needed. Not for a long time. I know WotC needs to have a profitable product but I think they will alienate more D&D fans with 4e so soon than anything else. I think their time would be...

I'd just like to throw in my .02. I don't post much on the boards but I try to visit as often as I can. This was the first GenCon I was able to make it to. I met quite a few En Worlders while at the Con. I had a ton of fun playing in Piratecat's D&D game. But I think the best thing was putting...

I had no idea where to post this but hopefully there is a quick answer. I wanted to know if the shirt with the d20 that rolled a 1 and simply said Sh*t was still around. I was thinking about getting one (finally) and can't find any references to it.--I don't even know who produced it and if...

Re: Re: Vs. Uncanny Accuracy So, by your opinion, if the ELH is garbage, doesn't it seem that it's garbage to make a non-epic feat that does what an epic (a.k.a. "garbage") feat does, thereby being quite unbalanced? --CT

Vs. Uncanny Accuracy Let's not forget how this little gem duplicates an EPIC feat, making it worthless. So you can do something that is epic, waaay before you actually *are* epic...Not only that, but Improved Precise Shot is actually *better* than Uncanny Accuracy. Here's the comparison...

Actually, my dwarven character is multiclassed into eight levels of sorcerer and he kicks. My concept was a dwarven ftr/sor outcast from his home. He works really well (also with classes of stonelord). --CT

Oopsie Whoops, my bad. I thought I had read that dwarves were getting 30 base speed in 3.5. Okay, that helps but they still seem like they're getting a whole lot. Our group thinks half-elves are totally worthless. Might as well be a full elf and work around the multiclassing restrictions. But...

Does anyone else see the 3.5 dwarf being the most powerful core player race? I used to think elves had the most advantages but it seems like dwarves might surpass them. They'll get everything they get now plus a base speed of 30, weapon familiarity and the stability bonus. There really won't...

And there's another question (which probably has an answer I'm just missing)--would a vorpal weapon even kill something with regeneration? You might cut off its head but it'll just regenerate everything back and get up again. The reason I am wondering about the suffocation is the sole fact...

A Troll Walks Into An Adventuring Party... Pit fiend may be a bad example because of too many factors (though it still works). Let's use the ubiquitous troll as an example: The hapless adventurers come upon a troll. They have no fire and acid but they beat it down to subdual so badly all its...

Fiends and Bad Breath I haven't found anywhere to specify otherwise. --CT

Let's say you have a party of adventurers. Said party encounters a pit fiend (grrrr, arrgh!). But none of the party members has any way to make a weapon blessed or holy (uh-oh!). So they go to town, hacking on the pit fiend until he's knocked unconscious from subdual damage (zzzzz...). Could...
