Wish is broken, and WoTC has already said they've gotten rid of it. That a Pit Fiend has such an ability, which may not even be statted out (aka: it might just be designed for making plot hooks and explaining how some evil person got their power).

I've never liked them. They seemed too...fat and useless, or something. They just didn't seem to be real adventurers. And almost all Tolkienesque hobbits look down on adventuring and leaving the peace and quiet of home. All in all, begone with them!

You can't impose sanity on H.P. Lovecraft! :)

The Leader roles only represent leaders in the sense that during battle they help with support (healing, morale, etc...like 3e bards and clerics). Unlike the 3e 'leaders' the 4e ones will be able to use their buffs and heals and the like while still participating in combat. Leader has nothing to...

Percentilus the Fateful, Lord of the Lists (known to some as The True Dungeon Master) Doublus the Digital Die Pi-lon, patron god of Math Nerds and Starcraft

How's this? Pun-pun, the far famed lord of lords All the world is his glimmering hoard Pun-pun, the god of mighty gods The very dieties he curses and lauds His insane stats bring fear and hate Anger towards this munchkin will never abate His cheap old ways unbalance games As BBEGs such as...

I thought Pun-Pun was supposed to be the deity of deities. His portfolio consists of Bane, Bahamut, etc...doesn't it? Or am I misinformed?

Well, he's a lumberjack and he's okay. He wears a puffy shirt all day.

Though they've generally hid behind the scenes, one way or another almost every gamer hears whispers about the dreaded and beloved dice gods. They give and they take away. They may seem to abandon an unfortunate gamer to a series of untimely 1s, only to roll triple 20s against the BBEG. Or...

I'm a DM much more often than a player, but I'll probably want to test out the new Warlock. I also want to get a feel for the Warlord, but thats a bit lower on my list. At the very least I want to be able to yell "Feather Me Yon Oaf!" As for a race, I'm thinking Eladrin or Human. It will be...

As I recall "Etherlords" and its sequel were pretty fun, but they probably don't fall directly under the heading of RPG. They're more like animated games of Magic: The Gathering, where you play spells that cost mana. Since I really like Etherlords and turn based RPGs I think you may want to...

How do partial actions work? I've generally picked up that they work like standard actions, and that using one leaves you with a move action. However, the combat chapter in the PHB does not mention partial actions (unless I missed it). They talk about full round, standard, move, swift, free, and...

This seems to me to mean that we will no longer have something like d20srd.com to check the actual rules. In fact, it sounds like the SRD will jsut be a bunch of guidelines, like "It's usually a bad idea to force players onto a particular adventure path." Perhaps WotC doesn't like the fact that...

They have a name for that. It's called GURPS.

Whoah, whoah, whoah. You're poll is missing somebody. Piratecat! On a more serious note, there is no option for "I haven't met any of them."

I'm a high school senior, and my friends and I have played tabletop D&D since sophomore year. I've run other games before that, but this is the first long-running campaign of mine. When we're all together it's a group of 10 + me (the RBDM).

Especially when you get into arguments over alignment...

Where could the original idea have come from? I mean, how likely is it that a given thief is far better at guessing how to activate a scroll or find the word to a wand when compared to some other person? Does it just go with the idea that rogues are very lucky?

When looking at the skills on a character sheet, Use Magic Device always stands out to me, especially because it is on the Rogue's skill list but not the "real" magic users. Is UMD in 3E because it had a history in earlier editions? I have no idea, because I've only played 3E. Maybe UMD is...

At 0 hp, a vampire automatically assumes its gaseous form. However, does it still do so if it drops BELOW 0 hp? I ask the question because my most memorable and vile villains, a vampire cleric/lifedrinker, got into a fight with the PCs. He was dropped it EXACTLY 0 hp, so he turned gaseous and...
