Uh... Instead of having shifting DCs, why not make the base save DC 15 or 20 and give characters a bonus to their saving throws as they level up?

They still haven't fixed this?[/COLOR]

Fortunately for me, I'm going to Gencon and I'm signed up for D&DNext.

I can't download the packet right now but will do so as soon as I can. When you say "old school" like B/E rules, what do you mean?

I've been on a hiatus from d20 for a considerable length of time. Have played Savage Worlds, Iron Kingdoms, and Rifts (don't ask) in the meantime. This has given me a lot more perspective and ideas on mechanics that I feel work well and don't work well. (Note to self: the concept of the wild...

This was a bunch of unintelligent dinosaurs. Getting past them shouldn't have been that hard anyway. You should have tamed them, which would have been awesome. If I were the DM, I would have had them follow you around while you played. On the other hand, for a more mechanical solution, you...

I was going to say just this, so I guess there' something we can agree on. Bring back the wide-open feel of 3e with the mathematical tuning of 4e, and I'd pre-order 5e now.

Saving throws needed: Ref, Will, and Fort.

I didn't say his reaction was correct. You know how everyone thought the 3e warlock was wicked OP because it could do 11d6 damage at will with a touch attack while ignoring that the wizard can drop out 20d6 damage in an AoE and be playing his class ineffectively? It's kind of like that.

Tome of Battle was one of those supplements that was beloved by the Internet community and not by anyone I've ever gamed with. The reactions I've heard to it vary by the person: Me, initial: Stupid anime crap. Me, upon review: Stupid anime crap, some decent mechanics. Not a fan overall. My...

Rage should come on automatically when the barbarian hits half health.

A sorcerer-paladin is just a Lawful Good sorcerer with healing spells.

Nope.

Robin Hood is probably a rogue / fighter, not a ranger. Alternatively, he could be a low-level ranger who doesn't yet have access to magic or an animal companion. He has favored enemy (aristocracy).

That's certainly a generous interpretation. My own thoughts: the designers highly overvalued large damage dice on multiple [W] attacks, so they didn't want the rogue to be wielding something that would be rolling d8s or d10s along with his sneak attack. I think it might have to do with the...

In previous threads, I was discussing flaws that I had perceived with 4e, especially regarding attack values and hit points. From my own experiences, it seemed that the math was weighted in such a way that everyone was almost always hitting, slowly plinking away at a vast pool of hit points...

Because 4e was not designed from an in-universe perspective; it was designed from an out-of-universe perspective. If you ask yourself about a design limitation in previous editions, you can probably explain something from an in-character perspective. In 4e, the answer to any question about a...

I think players who kill orc babies and DMs who deliberately put them in lose-lose scenarios so they'll fall are douchebags, so that's a non-issue for me. I'll give an example: in the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil vidya, you can participate in a drinking contest. If you have a paladin...

I feel the paladin's code is fairly well defined: • Do not willingly do evil. • Respect legitimate authority. • Act honorably. • Help the needy. • Punish the wicked (those who threaten or harm others). And there's some more rules about palling around with evil folks, but that's not a huge...

No, because the DM has the option to say "the NPC recoils in disgust from your touch" or "the NPC brushes you off" or "the NPC shakes your hand so excitedly that your hand hurts" or, yes, "the NPC fades away from existence as you reach for her hand." With CAGI, there is no option--not without...
