Only his powers? That's like saying "The Red Sox don't have that many things that score runs. Their uniforms, the stadium, and front office personnel never do. Only their players score runs." The wizard powers are plenty enough control.

I'd only want a "2 hit" monster if it had a threshold above which it would die on 1 hit. Otherwise pawsplay is right in pointing out that it's silly that some awesome attack would, strictly by the rules, not kill it.

To be honest, as a casual EN Worlder, it is these rhetorical, non-substantive threads are what turn me off of EN World lately. There are far more interesting, substantive threads here but they don't seem to get as much interest, and fall off the main page. There are exceptions, but it's getting...

I think the question really is will players be searching through their powers like puzzle pieces to fit the situation, and upon not finding an appropriate puzzle piece, will they try a non-enumerated stunt or fall back to using something less interesting?

I haven't noticed that. I've noticed that some people pointed to things they preferred in 3.5 over 4. Your take seems pretty condescending toward most reviews, which I have found to be pretty fair and honest takes of the new edition, based on personal preference. It's okay if someone else...

I'm curious as to how this is implemented. Do we know how a 4E basilisk works, for example? Poor scared cows. ;)

What is it that you are trying to achieve with this? It seems like it is just labels on level groups; what am I missing? (Edited because what I initially wrote seemed snarky and not curious.)

Totally agree. I think this problem is almost entirely an adventure design and/or DM-being-willing-to-change-stats-on-the-fly- to-help-a-player-feel-like-his-character-is-cool problem and not a system problem. Because the intended result (rogue taking out a guard in one shot) is possible in...

As a player, after #3 happened I'd never do #4. Screw the doll.

When you make an Attack of Opportunity, does it have to be a basic melee attack, or can it be a special attack such as Trip? From the SRD: "An attack of opportunity is a single melee attack..." Does the use of melee attack in that context mean that the attack must be a "vanilla" attack, or that...

I admit that as worded, the option is rather weak in most situations. But considering Intimidate is useful as a non-combat skill, does it really need to be a solid combat option? I see the Demoralize Opponent ability as a combined force helper option, where you can demoralize your target just...

Is this a general RPG topic? And is Tom Wham really a "legend onto himself"?

In games where I played, we played very gritty games, and TPKs cause a lot of restarts, so those numbers look about right to me.

The number of "me too" posts on ENworld drive me bonkers, especially when they're mimicking "you don't need story arc" comments that aren't particularly helpful for a DM who wants a story arc and is asking for story arc suggestions. Gruns, I don't have a specific arc suggestion other than try...

Hope you're right. I just ordered those two as well as the whole Dragonstar series. Can't beat these prices.

Ah, okay, so the standard Fudge method isn't about twisting them to decipher results. Fudge is saved!

Wow, does this make me want to steer way clear of Fudge. The last thing I want to do while roleplaying is to be twisting dice to determine results.

I'm browsing through your setting... kudos to you for putting this together, looks like you put a lot of effort into it. Yeah, I'd say that sticks out straight from Seinfeld. Did the non-humans start a Human Fund, too? :p

Real question. I have absolutely nothing to do with Farland. I found the site last year by googling, and it was actually from the Farland site that I found ENWorld. I got so busy late last year with my business that I had very little time for gaming. I'm now trying to find some time to start a...

Anyone running a campaign in Farland? Is it any fun?
