    Do you consider 4e D&D "newbie teeball"?

    It's like baseball, only without a pitcher. Batters basically walk up to a little "tee" that's holding the ball, and swing at it. Imagine if you couldn't tackle someone in rugby, and every scrum was decided with Rock-Paper-Scissors. :p Anyway, any RPG system is hard to learn and complex, in...

    Thank You

    Best of luck, Scott!

    4e Warlocks - How Would You Fix Them?

    One or two small house rules and the Warlock is dang near perfect. One of my groups use this house rule: the first saving throw a creature gets against a 'lock's daily power takes a -5 penalty. Makes it MUCH easier to get off on a normal enemy and an elite, and solos get a "normal" chance to...

    4E Class Survivor - Round 10 (make your prediction)

    Thank goodness the Paladin is gone. No loss there. Now it's time to vote off the ranger, one of the blandest classes in 4E. Prediction: Fighter, Rogue, Sorcerer.

    Waiting for the Seeker

    A Controller doing [W] damage, and targeting AC. This is kind of what people were looking for with the "martial controller," it seems...at least mechanically. Not so much with the fluff as presented, but there's always reflavoring!

    4E Classes You Like

    Count me in as another person who's cautiously excited to try out a Shaman. The class really lends itself to reflavoring, in my mind: mine'll be the last Dwarf of his clan, having survived some horrible onslaught or disease, who summons the ghosts of his closest friends and family to aid his...

    4E Class Survivor - Round 8

    I'm not saying it's not personal preference. I just hate Paladins. They're the Clerics dumber older brother who likes to beat up/outright kill things that are different.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 8

    Well, Paladins in general. They harsh the mellow. Plus, it's not like they're a mechanically fun class in 4E. Might as well just be a fighter that talks about his/her god a lot.

    Primal Power Backgrounds

    Same here. Plus, as a DDI subscriber, it's... Oh wait, you don't want to hear about it. ;)

    Primal Power Backgrounds

    Having backgrounds as an excerpt is like having a single Ritz cracker as an appetizer. I don't have anything against backgrounds, but they're too bland to get enthusiastic about.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 8

    Die a thousand deaths, Paladin. You ruin everyone else's fun.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 7

    Hey, the Warden beat out the Bard AND the Cleric. Not too shabby. I, too, really enjoy the Warden. Its Font of Life is, despite being insanely simple mechanically, also the feature that (imho) really defines both its role and its flavor as a class. It's good to see that a simple mechanic can...

    Power Cards - Do you use them?

    Wish there was a "use them in some of my games, not others" option, because that's what I do. I have one DM who prefers them, and another who prefers typing up his own sheets. Both work fine for me.

    "You're a half elf? Really?" From the P.A. Podcasts

    Yeah, it's a bit of a surprise, isn't it? Unfortunately, Hussar wasn't around in Tolkien's time to tell him how to truly emphasize that part of the character.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 7

    Screw you, Paladin. Die already.

    D&D 4E 4E Class Survivor - Round 6

    Yes. This. The Paladin is the guy that calls the cops on your party when it's not even midnight. The Paladin isn't your friend. He's a religious sadist who looks to his god for an excuse to kill things. He is anti-fun. Get rid of him.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 5

    Well, y'all don't like leaders. Except for the Cleric. So go the middle ground. Vote off the Paladin.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 4

    I say we do it Eurovision style. Either way, though, it'd be awesome.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 4

    You're...you're saying the Invoker is more interesting than the Druid. Madness. The Invoker is a Wizard with less personality and less explosions.
