    Social Combat Powers?

    I was thinking about social combat, and while we all have to wait for the rules to actually come out, I wondered just what kind of impact it would have upon the game if Social Combat used a system of At-Will/Encounter/Daily based powers just like combat based powers. Quite literally, would it...

    Behold the Mighty Frost Giant!

    Not really relevant. The OP can post up whatever monsters he wants to make and name them whatever he'd like. We can either take them, or throw them out. That's the fun of exclusivity.

    Yes! "Turns" are back!!

    There, fixed!

    Cleric powers speculation. No more domains?

    I'm willing to bet the Gods only have two major influences on a cleric's choices. 1) Gods will probably come with a specific Trained Skill they place emphasis on. 2) Your choice of god will probably influence the type of damage you deal. (Radiant, Psychic, Physical, Ect). Turning and Rebuking...

    5th Level Wizard Has 2 Daily And 2 Encounter Powers

    1st: 2/1/1? 3rd: 2/2/1? 5th: 2/2/2? 7th: 3/2/2? 9th: 3/3/2? 11th: 3/3/3? 13th: 4/3/3? 15th: 4/4/3? 17th: 4/4/4? 18th: 5/4/4? Just a theory, but Wizards probably get to know 2 Daily for every 1 Daily they can cast.

    Grognards?

    Grognard can have a negative connotation when it is used to imply that a person fears change for the sake of change. Those that hold onto previous editions because they LIKE an aspect of the previous edition more strongly are still technically Grognards but get called it less often. Those that...

    Stay out of this thread!

    I do not entirely agree with you. This must clearly not be the thread for me. :]

    Has Monte Cook made 4th ed Unnecessary?

    If Monte Cook is an 800lb Gorilla then WotC is the Cloverfield Monster. Sure, both are capable of bursting into our house and turning our lives upside down, but only one is going to change the face of the entire countryside. Like any other third party publisher, Monte Cook is going to wait a...

    PHB classes -- why does it matter which ones are included?

    Because I cannot convert my existing campaign. We have received 8 classes. 2 of them were not core in 3.5. Out of 11 classes, that means only 6 made the translation. I can handle the loss of 1-2 classes, but 5 core classes?! For all the people trying to convert a mostly core campaign (which...

    So we got the sheets, let's calculate the crunch!!

    It's certainly possible that each race gets +2 to two different stats, but my guess is that each Race gets +2 to a single stat, and each class gives +2 to it's important stat. For instance, the Human is a Cleric and gets +2 to Wisdom from his class. The Halfling is a Paladin and gets +2...

    Brutal Combonations.

    Hrrm, it seems you're right! At least, it has to have the Radiant Keyword (regardless of any radiant damage present or not). No, not at all. If the two powers are not legally combinable, then it's not a combo at all.

    Trend in the Art?

    Pictures that show me being less of a tight-ass are not likely to capture any one of the numerous concepts that really make 4th Edition shine. And, while the above certainly qualifies as good ideas for alternative cover pictures, I was thinking something more along the lines of fantasy, not...

    Trend in the Art?

    Browsing through the cover art we've seen for most of the books being released soon I have noticed a very awkward trend. There are a few minor exceptions, but almost without fail we see: 1) Character/Monster in pose of immediate action! 2a) If it's a monster, it's mouth is gaping open! 2b) If...

    Brutal Combonations.

    Based on the crunch we have seen so far, it appears that a few very nasty combinations can be made in combat for even early level characters. The very first one would be a multiclass Fighter1/Cleric1 that combines Passing Attack and Power of Amauntor to deal double damage to two different...

    [Exploits] Ranger Daily: Split the Tree

    The problem you are suffering is over analyzing the term 'Midair'. Strictly speaking, that does effectively mean 'the middle point of their travel distance', but I strongly believe the term was simply meant to intend 'while in the air'. In your interpretation, the arrows suddenly change...

    Arcane Trickster?

    That's definately correct. The person who mentioned they had a 3 rog/5 wiz/4arcane just doesn't reach the requirements for that prestige class. You may not care, but you might want to pick up a level of Rogue as yer next level to be moral about it.

    Sorceres get screwed when it comes to SP

    I actually had a human wizard that ended up with a little over 30 constitution. He as an oriental fellow with a flowing mustache and a fetish for cats. So much so infact that every one of his normal feats were "Extra Familiar" where he got another cat. Ended up with 6 of them and the chance for...
