That's no criterion; PCs are easily distracted by valuables. ;) -Will

Not me. But, then, I watched a whole lot of Hercules & Xena...and in those shows, "warlords" were a dime a dozen, and they were mostly just tough brutes who led bandits through fear and intimidation. So, yeah, I got no problem with a first-level PC-classed character being called a "warlord."...

I am so pissed they're going to nerf save-or-delete. So what if a thread can go from "healthy as a horse" to "HAHA DELETED" in a single round? Buncha sissies. -Will

I agree that that part of it's still wonky, but the complaint was that a withdrawal (of, say, 30') does not provoke AoOs, while, say, an attack followed by a standard move of 30' does. I think the reasoning is that, while you're moving the same distance, in the former case, you're moving more...

Because you're moving more slowly and carefully? -Will

BOOOOO. DMGs are for DMing advice and instructions, not "tables." I'm into the idea of a sample town. Heck, if they make it good enough, it might get a lot of usage, even from old fogeys like us. -Will

It occurs to me that save-or-die is a lot like the "absolute effects" Sean Reynolds argues against on his website. An "immune to fire spells" ability means you'll inevitably come up with a "super-fire" spell that bypasses that immunity, and then an "immune to super-fire spells" ability, and so...

At least three people in my group (including me) use Macs. -Will

They also get a mention in Design & Development: Let's Get Small: Adventure Design, Part I. -Will

It's supposed to mimic the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath, actually. -Will

IME, the DM is more likely to say, "Sorry, there is no Kamahi Mahi in my very special, sacred home-brewed campaign setting that I've used ever since I was in high school, and you're certainly no king. Come up with a different character." The kind of DMing you describe in your posts is...

I need to be strung up by my toes and beaten with a cane until I am ready to listen to reason. -Will "and I'll like it, too!" Ooi

Ahh, but does 95.5% of Wizards' audience live outside the borders of the US? -Will

Aw, come on, you guys...you didn't think this was at all interesting or useful? -Will

Yeah, it's not hard to understand. If you get bored, scroll down to the bottom where she starts talking about playtesting 4e. That bit actually has some good GMing advice I'd never considered! :) -Will

Just thought I'd poke my head in and suggest a related reason for the 15-minute adventuring day problem -- buffs, which, I believe, the designers have mentioned working on. -Will

Group Hug!!!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...QFT. -Will

Each set of arrows you buy comes with a quiver, so there's no need to buy them separately. Likewise with sheaths and scabbards. -Will

No? :) -Will
