That's all well and good for a home campaign. It doesn't work for LFR. I could be sitting at a table and have 5 other people want to play warforged. Or I could be asked to DM a group of 6. Duncan

They do damage the campaign for me. This homogenised approach that WotC are putting out there at the moment means that no world is special - for me this ends up meaning all worlds are bland. I like Eberron. I like Forgotten Realms. But I want them to be different to each other, I don't want...

Thing is Psych was a (silly) Comedy - From what I've seen The Mentalist is serious. While on the surface they may appear similar, I think if you watch them they will seem very different. Anyway, how many Cop Shows, Forensic shows, Medical Dramas, Law Shows, etc all seem the same if you analyse...

And yet you have overlooked a major part - in previous editions wizards could expand their spellbooks, and choose on a day which spells they wanted to memorize. Now there's no such choice. To answer the OP, so far in my experience with 4th Ed, I see mostly what the first group is seeing -...

Is your fighter really wearing Leather or Hide armour?

hhmmm. My party was taken down by Irontooth too, but none of them were dead at the end of the combat, some had stabalised and the others hadn't got to 3 failed saves. And so I had intended to have them captured at that point, so now I'm wondering where you took it after that. However, that...

This is important. I also think it's good to remember that the monsters aren't (usually) of a hive mind - they won't always do the best thing as a group. Of course, this will vary - if they have often killed as a team they would work better. But encounters where the monsters have perfect...

I figure that in PHB II there will be a new character alignment available, Organisational. [attempted humour] It's especially useful for Leaders who like all the bad guys lined up in order to their own system. So, if you want to play a character with OCD, now you have the alignment to match...

The errata as-is reminds me of the time that the 1st Ed. Unearthed Arcana was errated in Dragon magazine so you could paste the new verion of things over the top. Some people have said "just look at how often computer games are patched" or such - well, a book isn't a computer game. I don't...

Well, we'll have to disagree. I could create characters using the rules in the PHB and they were ok. It wasn't great, but a far cry from the nothing we have now. Duncan

Here's the problem, IMO : 3.0 came out with a character generator for free. For fourth ed there's no such thing for love or money. Yes, I see that as a step backwards. Duncan

heh. 'My character was a Dwarf paragon, then he got re-incarnated as an Elf'

Yes, there are gamers in Melbourne. The RPGA campaigns have many adherants. Living Greyhawk is 3.5 rules, and the campaign ends this year, but the area covered by Melbourne is the region of Ratik The new 4th Ed campaign Living Forgotten Realms can be discussed here; Melbourne is covered by...

Halfing Rogue query Hi, Figured this was the best place for my question. On the Halfling rogue sheet, two powers - Deft Strike and Sly flourish, are listed as +8 vs AC. Both are listed as either Melee or Ranged. The character has +8 for Ranged, but only +5 for Melee. Is the Attack for those...

Well said, Thanee, as always. I have seen too many systems go to pot with the addition of classes that offer trivial variation. For me, of all the non-core classes in D&D 3e products, most were minor variations on what was already available, even if you couldn't exactly model it on the rules...

And that would be the kind of event that I suggested I couldn't imagine without. Duncan

I would be very concerned about how one would introduce the 4th ed world changes into Greyhawk, especially changes to races and classes. Suddenly there are this new race, the Dragonborn, wandering everywhere? I can't imagine you could introduce that without an event. I'm not a fan of...

I've got to query this. I hate Spiked Chains myself (they are too powerful and versitile, that seem to be the "best at everything super-weapon"), but how do they damage GH, but are acceptable elsewhere? If you want spiked chains removed from the rules, that's fine, but what is it about spiked...

I think the word was LAIR not LAYER. My impression was that the MM include as standard LAIR for a gnome to live in, not their own plane of existance. Duncan

Wow, you can't equate a 10% chance to a D20? 19 or 20 Stabalised. Done. The reason they used Percantages for things like roll is so that people won't think they are modified by other factors. But so long as the Percentage ends in a 5 or a 0 you can represent it with a D20 roll. Duncan (who...
