With that logic, you'll look at a red dragon as a lot of HP when you're done.

I'd just like the point out that maxim holds: When two or more halflings agree on something: run away.

Rackhir: I was aware of that, but I thought it was so good that a movie was in the works.

Cool, now if you could figure out the mathematics behind the XP levels, you just might win the Internet.

This was like a primer on what to do and what not to do when flanking or being flanked. Andor: Better than, "No, seriously, give 'em a good once-over!"?

Whether D&D should feel like something out of Warcraft or Oblivion or Neverwinter Nights 2 wasn't my concern, as it would have happened anyway. The RPG videogames used D&D as their template long before D&D would use the innovations from that gaming arena. However, I do look at it from a more of...

I'm pretty convinced Full Metal Alchemists was the genesis behind the Eberron world, at least the 3.5 edition. I thought there is a Dresden Files movie in production? Can anyone confirm this? (And if there is, should I read the series now or after I've seen the movie version?)

Morrowind was alright. Oblivion is a little better. Mass Effect was interesting until you get to the romantic part with the alien, then it's like, well, this. I had a problem with Neverwinter Night 2 because the game's bugs got into the way, but I generally loved the NWN series more because of...

Whatever your group was on, I want some of it. The problem that I see with D&D taking on videogame elements isn't so much that it's a bad thing gameplay wise, but rather is that going to be enough to lure casual gamers who would be more inclined to play something like WoW to play something like...

So...she's Lawful Neutral? Wouldn't she have to have some sort of special prestige class so that she's not a typical Lawful Evil lawyer? (I could see a lawyer going through a Sanctify the Wicked spell from Book of Epic Deeds to get to such a state. Probably would take two such spells for a...

You forget what he doesn't do in killing her, he backstabs her in morale, especially with the line how Haley has an arch-nemesis "hotter" than Ms. Pickle-girl.

I prefer having planned out space for everything. Empty space areas are good for lowering the tension after a large fight, and it really helps get you mentally prepared as a DM for the next event. (As well as find that right time to stop playing and order that pizza.) A lot of the actions play...

Just curious: Did the 1e of the Manual of the Planes had a plane of chocolate fudge pudding? (Those black/brown/blue pudding monsters had to come from someplace, right?)

I love Burlew's sense of humorous nomenclature.

I like the idea that a magical item had a variety of uses or diverse power. Maybe not exactly like the magical version of a Swiss Army Knife (3rd edition's Rod of Lordly Might), but one where even if it had a single power, it had a variety of uses, like the immovable rod. I guess versatility is...

You know, I've always thought the terms "infinity" and "finite" for planes had less to do with how much could cover a plane, but rather how large could a plane grow. A finite plane had limits as to how big it could get, but an infinite plane may have a determined finite plane size, but infinite...

You have a very disturbing DM.

Deleted because of misplaced quote.

Re: Orbs. Am I the only one when reading about this thought of those Pokemon balls? Great, so not only has 4th edition put a little Magic: the Game into D&D (Power Cards), now they've added a little Pokemon too.

I found that the Weapons of Legacy book in 3.5 was the most interesting book of the bunch, and I used that often to improve the coolness of most magical items. I'm not completely satisfied how those concepts have been carried out into 4th edition, but I still think it's really good. I feel...
