More likely their fixes broke more things they couldn't ignore until next time. That happens a lot when the coders are not reviewing their work before it goes in, or when the code is poorly understood or overly complex. Your guess is as good as mine, perhaps better. ;)

Experience is the key Well, that may be so. The point I make about his not being a project lead until he was made "studio director" is that he had no practical software development leadership experience before. That's critical when being given impossible deadlines, understanding the...

THIS guy is in charge? This is the head of the WotC digital studios: Christiaan Champagne - LinkedIn After his stint as a systems engineer at a casino game (slot machine) company, he was the "games and gaming lead" of a team that "stalled out before really getting started." Then he was laid...

I have done this, and used a mix of rituals that my party can use - that is, if no one was trained in a skill, I didn't throw a ritual in that was based on that skill (I think it only happened with Nature).

I heard the downloadable CB is still available if hidden - anyone have the link in their history? I don't here at work. :/

I believe you are confusing your group's culture ("general recommendation") with the game's rules. Mneme, yeah, I've been tossing the math around for a bit, and I had resolved to do some paper (er, Excel) modeling this weekend. Alas, I've had a bit of a pest problem this weekend and haven't had...

Oh, I see it now - it's the extra damage that requires a critical hit be scored that is not maximized, not extra damage in general. That's understandable, though I wish they had used different terms for each - even "extra damage" and "extra critical damage." I may not interpret it that way at...

How sure are you guys about that? Even though Sneak Attack is "extra damage" it's a different extra damage than is covered by the rules about extra damage and critical hits? edit to respond to Obryn's edit: yes, that's the same text as I quoted from the DDI Compendium. The this is my basis for...

Hi, I DM Encounters this season and something happened that I did not expect: a custom rogue player maximized the damage of his sneak attack on a critical hit. Of course I ruled he shouldn't do that and had him re-roll (he moved all extra dice to 6's, obliterating the actual results - and got...

Not so Er, wrong on the part I bolded. I just stayed at Walt Disney World's Wilderness Lodge and not only didn't they have free wifi, they didn't have free access at all - $9.99 per 24 hours of access - and the access they had was a roaring 356K (no more than 400 down). That's fairly common...

Someone give that man (Saracenus) some XP. I can't until I get to a real keyboard at home.

I found the monster's lair! Tito's Tacos (not affiliated, but I eat there on occasion)

Stone dice are not balanced The big problem with stone dice is that they are not regularly-shaped; they are polished to obtain their shape, and in general that makes them off-true. Buy a pack of stone tens and stack them, or use a sensitive level on the faces of any die. They're pretty, they...

Like what the feat gives, you mean.

For those without a program... quarterstaff proficiency use quarterstaff with light blade, not ranged or area sneak attack with every quarterstaff attack :eek: Really? - Ket

This time, McCoy squared the circle.

"Tons?"

They're hiring broads? Yeah, right, next thing you know we'll let them roll dice, too. :angel:

The rant in the other thread highlighted to me all the reasons I'd buy this for my sons to introduce D&D to their friends; this underscores them! Gotta get me two or three of these!
