It does seem like it would take a lot of fiddling. My first instinct upon reading that they were producing a playable Pixie was that it would probably feature a racial utility (Possibly a choice later than first level, like the options the Shade or Vryloka have) that would allow it to shrink to...

Rodney (Moridin) Thompson's post on RPGnet here, makes me almost certain it will be, which I find really, really exciting. Treading plenty of new ground there. =) While pixies in 3.5 were Small creatures, Tiny fits better thematically. Also, Mirrorstone's Practical Guide to Faeries (which...

In case anyone else was curious, I got a response on White Wolf's forums. Apparently it's a new quickstart for the current World of Darkness. As for Free RPG Day in general, I'm glad to see it's still running, and seems to have some good stuff lined up for it. I wish there were more retailers...

My big question is... when they list "World of Darkness Quickstart" on their site, does that mean White Wolf is rebooting the franchise again, or just that they're trying to reinvigorate sales of nWoD? Alternatively, by "World of Darkness Quickstart", might they just mean "Vampire: the...

I'm looking forward to their physical products. While on one hand, I would have liked DDI to still be meaningful to me, I'm more glad to be rid of the cost, I think. It's just not worth it, and this way my cash is going towards stuff I'll still have around in a decade. To be honest, I wasn't...

Well, the level 30 feature doesn't restrict use to "in your party", nor does it even specify that the other guardian must be, say, on the same plane. (Or known to you, I suppose...) That said, the level 24 feature does kindof suck without a party full of these folks.

PHB 2 and 3 I do count as supplements, yep. The Essentials books are the new baseline though, from what I can see.

I guess I just DM/play/read differently. To me, the flavour of these races (particularly that of the Shade*) already implies that they will have strong weaknesses, and any players paying attention to the text will realize that and either accept it or pass on the race. Any players not paying...

Okay, there's an obvious divide in perspective here. Here's a thought: Perhaps both opinions are equally valid, and people should just play what they want to play. I'm glad that game elements with specific disadvantages are there for people who want them. I'm also glad that noone runs around...

And now I really want to play a Pacifist Cleric/Vampire. Hm... what else provides resist radiant?..

Does LEGO count? When I first started playing (fairly young) we'd sometimes use lego blocks to represent things visually. Not the fancy people-shaped ones either, just the oldschool brightly-coloured rectangular bricks. We weren't too picky about maintaining things like scale then though. In...

When first starting to run 3rd edition, I couldn't figure out AoO-free five foot steps. The biggest point of confusion was the idea that they could only be taken in conjunction with a full round attack. Rather than puzzling that out, I let my players take them as move actions countless times...

Just to clarify, because this mistake has been made twice in the thread, Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms is actually the book with the essentials Ranger in it. (Though Fallen Lands contains the Slayer Fighter build, which can be used to make a pretty decent ranged/melee combatant too.) Those...

I'm going to be pretty surprised if this isn't a Werewolf class, despite the feywild connection being a little thin.

Perhaps your natural armor bonus represents a sort of reflexive elemental fluidity associated with your ancestor dragon's breath weapon type. In moments of danger your body can flex out of the way to a degree, flickering slightly to the side like a flame or twitching back from the threat like...

Pelor is secretly a Vampire god. (He rules through fear, which is why his subjects flee at the sight of his emblem.) When your friend's cleric uses one of his whack & heal powers, he's getting a taste of what life as one of Pelor's damned, his worshippers in their afterlife, will bring him. (Of...

Ideally the Vampire class will come with Hybrid rules and a Multiclass feat. For things like vampirism, or lycanthropy, or... well, other conditions, classes seem like a pretty logical solution to me, so long as Hybrid and Multiclass options are there. (By the by, I'd heard somewhere that...

I already vote with my dollar by paying for things I'm interested in and not paying for ones that don't win me over. I've cancelled my DDI autorenew, and there are plenty of WotC products I just haven't been interested in purchasing - thus haven't bought them. I'm not interested in Pathfinder...

1) The question is, what player base? As you mentioned earlier, there were people who didn't switch from 3e to 4e, or 2e to 3e, or 1e to 2e, and there were people who moved to different games entirely. 90% of all active Roleplaying Game players? I doubt it. 90% of all former D&D players? That...

It really depends on the whole group composition and what kind of game they want to take part in. The last 4e session I ran was one I could have run without knowing the system. There was essentially no combat, and about the only dice cast were d20s. All the DCs were whipped up on the fly. It...
