    My Elven Rogue, check the math please

    This is a common misunderstanding. There are no negative racial ability score modifiers, but the ability scores still produce the same modifiers as 3.X. It's because you add half your level to most ability score checks (or checks derived from them) that people thought the ability score modifiers...

    D&D 4E What place does dual wielding have in 4E?

    I would start with being able to use the offhand weapon for defensive purposes or to harry the target. Let it act like a shield does, adding to AC, and being a backup if your primary weapon is disarmed or no use. Then, another power stemming from this allows you to immediately make an...

    WotC_Dave: Color Power!

    Your little sister has excellent taste. Death Cab is teh hawt. I will admit my introduction to Death Cab For Cutie was Saturday Night Live, and it was the episode where the guest host was Scarlett Johansson. I blame the incredibly hot guest host for the positive associations. Cheers, Cam

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded -- Free 4E Adventure (Ennie Nominated!)

    Hmm. I had thought those two passive skill entries are there as DCs for the DM to roll Hide or Bluff checks against without telling the players. Cheers, Cam

    D&D 4E What place does dual wielding have in 4E?

    I'm kind of hoping they continue not to call it "dual wielding." Cheers, Cam

    D&D 4E POL Settings in Literature to Base 4e Settings On

    Dragonlance was one of the first D&D Points of Light settings. It's changed since, as the setting was revealed more and more and the storylines developed, but it was exactly the kind of thing they've been talking about when first published. Cheers, Cam

    Metallic Dragons in or out? Looking for confirmation either way

    What they will actually be is new, but there have been other kinds of "iron dragon" and "adamantine dragon" in D&D before. Just like there's been "dragonborn" before, even though the 4e ones aren't like those. Cheers, Cam

    [Margaret Weis Productions] Battlestar Galactica: The Other Twelve Part One

    Hey folks, It's Wednesday, which means we're offering more bonus content. This week we're jumping back to the Battlestar Galactica RPG, featuring Jason Durall's article, "The Other Twelve." Are you a GM concerned that your players will use metagame knowledge from the show to identify the Cylons...

    Swordmage-> annoying...

    And because it's Rich Baker's novel, and Rich has a fair amount of influence over what gets into FR product. James Wyatt could do the same thing with Eberron, if he wanted, for instance - see a concept that didn't make it into the 4e PH, one that he likes and has written into a book, and thus...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    What I'm doing is asserting that this marketing plan of theirs is not a petty, spiteful attack on our nation's precious resource of Player's Handbooks. Scott Rouse seemed to think it was, or at the very least was concerned that WW was demanding a personal sacrifice. I think that's a stretch...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Right, but "because we're talking about it" doesn't answer the question. Neither does "well, why are you?" Cheers, Cam

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Perhaps the book publishing industry should be encouraging bookstores to hand out stripped books to poor people? Cheers, Cam

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    I suppose what I'm trying to figure out is why you care? If you're one of the people who no longer wants to play 3.5, and you have the option to give it up in place of a copy of Exalted, are you opposed to the terms of that arrangement? It isn't like there's any malice intended. WW isn't...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    "Give us the PHB that you don't want any more and we will give you a copy of Exalted 2nd." That's the simple fact. The rest is processing. Cheers, Cam

    D&D 4E Homebrewed 4E character sheet and power cards

    You don't give much room for Skills in either, especially in #2. In fact, you have room on #2 for only 3 skills! If a sheet has sufficient room for a rogue's skill list, it would be best, I think. Cheers, Cam
