Sylloge is specifically what I use (on a Droid 2). It's not working for me. Hasn't been for several days now...

Yeah, I was wondering about this myself - I use an app since my phone can't load the compendium, and even the app gives me the same message now...

Ah, yes! Thank you for summing up my idea much more clearly and succinctly!

Allow me to echo my support for: More powers triggering off of CA beyond a rogue/thief Rules for mass combat/armies Also, I think there is room to bring back uber-bad-ass character defining magic items like you had in 2E (i.e. Holy Avenger, Staff of Power, Ring of Invisibility). To give these...

Chapter 5 - A New Home (s. 12-13) 5.3 The Sad, Lonely End of Luwin Istalis (Part 2) Should I Stay or Should I Go? Chasing after the ignoble elf lord, the party bursts into his chambers to find him standing in a circle of arcane runes inscribed on the floor. Luwin begins reciting some arcane...

Yeah, i'm not sure why you jumped to opportunity attacks, you should go back to the part where jim and bob and monster A all politely decide to take turns swinging at each other, and bob has to say, "now jim, I know you don't want monster A to run away, but it's his turn, so let him double-move...

This. I'm also very confused... wizard only gives you implement mastery and ritual casting (which anyone can pick up for a feat)... why would you spend a feat to get rid of your one and only reason for choosing a class? ... I am very confused... ...did I mention that I was confused yet?

I'm with schwalb on this one, feats are ready to go - but i would argue for one additional key reason: they are sooooo much more difficult to balance. A game designer has to imagine how the feat could work with every possible combination of classes/multiclasses/hybrids with every possible...

Chapter 5 - A New Home (s. 12-13) 5.3 The Sad, Lonely End of Luwin Istalis (Part 1) The party debates for a while about what to do next. Aramil insists that Luwin must be ‘taken care of’, as he is a blight on all civilized society. Erik talks with his father about the situation, and Varna has...

Chapter 5 - A New Home (s. 11) 5.2 A Family Reunion (Part 2) More Suspicious Behavior As the party heads out of the village and up to the castle Calwyn asks the party what they are visiting Osteros for. Erik says that they wish to visit Varna. Calwyn seems a little surprised at the request...

I agree that all are viable options, and the game would suffer if some of the design styles were removed. But my major criticism of how feats have been handled (through 3e, 3.5e, and 4e) is it's not easy for a player to self-select into the style they want. There's just a bazillion sources of a...

I'm actually pretty surprised that he's dedicated his time to a weekly column. He's gotta stay pretty busy and would've guessed he'd commit to a monthly or bi-weekly column at most. It at least shows a major effort to reach out to fans and I appreciate that. I do wish he would discuss/comment on...

Chapter 5 - A New Home (s. 11) 5.2 A Family Reunion (Part 1) The party arrives in Erik’s home town of Trannyth so the lone human in the party can pay a visit to his adoptive elven father, Varna. Aramil asks about Erik’s relationship with his parents, and Erik attempts to explain his strained...

I've finally noticed that most of my posts are ridiculously long, so I'll start breaking the write-ups into smaller chunks with the next update

Hey Noctos, thanks for stopping by! I don't use any speech program, though I see how that could be useful. I'm a pretty fast typer, which helps, but mostly the detail is thanks to sinking a loooot of time into each write-up. I'd say on average I spend about 8 hours typing, editing, and...

By the way, if anyone's interested in putting some visualization to the world where the story is taking place, here's a couple of links to some maps - Map of the Boundary Lands Map of the known world (You can see the Boundary Lands way up in the upper left-hand corner of the world map.)

I see room for some juicy twists to make the minor quests interesting. Say one of the slaves gives the party a bejeweled heirloom to deliver to a family member with a message. When they get to the city, the heirloom is either: A) stolen by a pickpocket, then the party sees the heirloom for sale...

Chapter 5 - A New Home (s. 10) 5.1 Fond Farewells As the party searches for a suitable ambush spot, Fargrim begins an incessant stream of grumbling. He eventually brings the party to a halt and declares that he was a fool to ever agree to head south and that he must pursue the ancient dwarven...

Archspell - wizard epic destiny. Lvl 24 Recover your 'signature spell' daily arcane attack power 1/day when you die. Lvl 30 choose one daily, it becomes an encounter power for you.

In case you're a sucker for positive reinforcement, just wanted to say this column rules!
