    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    Those went... exactly as planned in our, uhm... our masterplan to... err... ... Who am I kidding...

    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    Us French aren't arrogant. We are better than the rest. Others just don't realize it yet. Oh, sorry, did that sound arrogant? :p

    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    I say light-nanoseconds, broken down into handy attoparsecs.

    Brilliant Idea for WotC: "Classic Settings" books (and a poll, of sorts)

    As I'm far too new to the hobby to have really experienced any of those (I've only ever done three sessions of Ravenloft, for example, and that's the only setting listed I hav any experience with), from what I've read, I really would like to see the following, in pretty much this order: 1)...

    D&D 4E Owen Stephens Thoughts on 4e

    Wait - is this thread about the sequel to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?

    Point of light: Katamari meets DnD

    Well, at least no-one is saying it's turning into a boardgame. What? You use, like, figures, dice, run around a lot... Buy stuff... I call Katamari Monopoly!

    DDM 2.0 stat cards are up!

    Hmmm... Since D&D Game day, they apparently changed the Spined Devil's factions from Civilized/Underdark to Underdark/Wilderness... EDIT: And, as I now see, the Spine Rain now does FIRE damage vs. just regular damage... Fly as an Ability... Spine Shield does 10 damage PER ATTACK explicitly...

    Abstract HP

    As for the falling damage example up there: There happens to be such a thing as terminal velocity on any planet with an atmospher. Friction from the air you're falling through makes it so you can't exceed a certain speed, which will vary depending on the planet's mass and the thickness of the...

    Gold or Silver Standard?

    I see your point, but I believe that, even with less emphasis on magic items, there will still be lots of those in the game. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a WBL-table in the new DMG just as there was in the previous one. But, of the things hereabove, I'd say that it might indeed be more...

    Gold or Silver Standard?

    I don't see this having any effect whatsoever. Smaller currencies will always be useless to high-level adventurers. Changing teh standard currency will do nothing to change that. What the "standard" is doesn't matter from a mechanical pint of view. It could be enriched uranium cores, and the...

    What exactly is the deal with the 4th Edition?

    Don't get me started. Once I got one when I had already seen two new ones out voiding the it. It did explain the refernce to it in the other memo's, though. I guess that's just what you get in some lines of work.

    D&D 4E 4ed leveling on gameplay

    How is that different from what we have now? Do you unleash Great Wyrms, tarrasques and Balors at 1s level parties? Or, do you keep on advancing Kobolds so they can be used and threatening all the way through to level 20 and beyond? In my - and I admit I only started relatively recently -...

    D&D 4E 4ed leveling on gameplay

    It's been announced that monster cration doesn't use the same rules as character creation. This has been stated in Worlds & Monsters, amongst other places. They are no longer built using HD, so I would guess that adding class levels would require a couple of jumps and fixes. Also, the phrase "an...

    D&D 4E 4ed leveling on gameplay

    This thread is probably on the edge of death, but anyways, here I go. In post #44: They've done this. Now, instead of being anywhere between ½-level and full (or even lower then half if yo have a DM that doesn't use fractional attack bonuses), it's at ½ your character level. What level am I...

    D&D 4E 4ed leveling on gameplay

    These questions have been answered by others after this post in better ways than I could express myself, so you'll have to excuse me from pointing to, amongst others, recent responses by Cadfan and Magus Coeruleus. However: All I see you doing here is keep the leveling mechanic, and remove...

    D&D 4E 4ed leveling on gameplay

    Not necessarily. If gaining feats at specific levels, instead of gaining class features, not along with gaining them, and the feats are along the lines of those we have seen, these will not drasticlly improve the number of combat options. Also, class powers may be improvements over previously...

    D&D 4E What will you do first with the 4E PHB?

    I'll probably be leafing through all three books simultaneously and erratically, reading the smaller chapters first, checking out artwork, and checking out a couple of classes and stuff. I'll end up having read it all, but in an order that would make no sense whatsoever.

    D&D 4E Dice Gods to be part of 4E Pantheon

    That sounds totally logical, and absolutely viable. If only we could make it rhyme somehow, it would certainly be true!
