Can I print and share my legally-purchased PDFs for usage at the gametable? I own a hardcover and a PDF. If so, how many copies can I print without infracting on WotC's IP?

From what I understand, legally purchased copies of 4E have been disseminated to other gamers online and have resulted in a civil suit. Fair enough, I completely understand this. Can I print and share my legally-purchased PDFs for usage at the gametable? I own a hardcover and a PDF. If so, how...

WotC is out of their mind if they believe that a civil suit in the United States is going to get any traction within Poland. Just my two cents.

I'm a published writer and I pirate. Furthermore, I feel that pirating allows consumers to make informed buying decisions about authored products. Whereas I can peruse any book I want whenever I am at Border's, I do the same for new releases online if they're not available in stores. If I...

Uniquely watermarked PDFs is the way WotC really, really needs to go with this. That way, if they wanted to identify a leaked PDF they'd know who it is. There are a lot of watermarks out there that bury themselves within artwork and borders that are entirely undiscernable to the naked eye.

Wik, if you're genuinely looking to change the costs on items, I've done a pretty extensive amount of houseruling to change prices on a grain-based economy . It also includes common salaries by profession: http://deismaar.pbwiki.com/f/CommonSalariesAndEquipment.doc As for weapon and armor...

Plausibility, maturity and consistency are much better terms used to describe what some gamers deem as "realistic" games.

Dual classing, multiclassing, bleh. I'd handle it on a per tier basis; level 1-10 as one class, level 11-20 as another class, level 21-30 as the third class.

You can treat disarm as in that it automatically gives a penalty on the foe's recharge roll on the D6, or disables an encounter power for the remainder of the encounter. That would work really well.

THIS. :cool:

Granted, but you're not within the demographic of people I'd have playing a D&D game at my table. My players chose me as their DM because they wanted verisimilitude, a rich history and story with action and consequences, and in turn I chose them to play in my game because I know I can craft a...

I find that if you don't make these small details important, that they're often lost upon the players. Oftentimes, I'll challenge my players before the game starts to see if they recall the little things in my gaming world (think Jeopardy), and grant them bonus experience points. I find that...

I use pbwiki.com The Last Cataclysm: Year 200 / FrontPage

I treat it as difficult terrain. If a player attempts to double move, or run as a part of a move, they must roll a saving throw or else fall prone on the ground at the end of their movement.

This is the humble beginnings of a class my group and I were working on. It's very, very rough but I have the initial design finished. I plan to have Daily powers relegated to his followers (description of how Beckoning works below), with an example power. Feedback and constructive criticism...

Yeah, the numbers are a bit difficult to figure out at higher levels. However, a lot of people train Heal specifically for the bonus. I am guessing that around mid-Paragon levels that there will be diminishing returns, which I feel I can fix with feats or passive bonuses based on tier.

blind, daze, stun, prone conditions to keep oa's in check. ranged attacks that push or slide overwhelm him with minions

I hate healing surges, I'll start with that. I don't like the metamechanics surrounding it, and I don't like that Heal and Endurance aren't used to regenerate HP. Here's how I remedied it to cater to a fast and dangerous, low magic campaign - Any player can use their Second Wind once per...

What you have proposed is far too difficult to crunch out. Have players spend Healing Surges to use their At-Will Powers, and leave everything else intact. When they're out of Healing Surges, they must use Basic Attacks. You would need to apply this roundly to all classes, whether they be...

You bet! We run a game where the players were former prisoners and are called by their nicknames when they were incarcerated. We have a dashing rake that's called "Prettyboy" (rogue), we have a former veteran fighter-cum-servant of the god of death and neutrality called "The Captain"...
