    D&D 4E How much flavor is in the mechanics - Of Course it's Not a Magic Missle, pfah!

    My Spidery Storm Sorcerer refluffs Pinning Bolt as Lightning Web(which is pretty much what it is), Beguiler Theme's Beguiling Flash as Beguiling Web. I found the flavour was a bit too heavy with much of the warlock stuff, sorcerers have more room for refluff for a slightly more heroic(or...

    Storm Sorcerer options. Unarmoured Agility vs. Leather Armour?

    That's not how the revised rules work, though. http://merricb.com/2009/01/20/latest-4e-errata/ This gives me another thought - if I have a bunch of ways to hide and defend against ranged attacks, that still leaves me vulnerable to bursts taking leather for bonus to reflex might make more...

    Storm Sorcerer options. Unarmoured Agility vs. Leather Armour?

    I think a lot of people have ruled that Deep Shroud lets you attack out of it? I'm pretty sure there was errata that covered this a while back. I know it isn't necessarily logical but neither are a lot of "friendly fire" free parties in general. Powers like that are generally versed as giving...

    Storm Sorcerer options. Unarmoured Agility vs. Leather Armour?

    I feel the flame spiral thing is a bit corny and kind of limiting for what you can build. Deep Shroud is a daily but that's misleading as it lasts indefinitely as long as you use a minor action to sustain it. So you can have it active for an entire encounter, or the big party stealth scene...

    Storm Sorcerer options. Unarmoured Agility vs. Leather Armour?

    Deep Shroud seems pretty amazing since at that level you're not using your minors for much and you're at a -5 to ranged attacks and -2 to Melee attacks as long as you sustain it, not to mention how useful it can be for party stealth etc. I'm not sure I'll go with Flame Spiral. I know there's a...

    Storm Sorcerer options. Unarmoured Agility vs. Leather Armour?

    I've been playing a 1st level Hengeyokai Storm Sorcerer for a few weeks now and wondering what feats etc. I should take when I level up. I know I'll be taking Mark of Storm, Implement Focus, Improved Defenses, and some sort of AC feat. I'm not sure when to take it or which one I should take -...

    4E: Working with/reskinning Hengeyokai?

    It's going fairly well so far, it's just that since it is a little incomplete we're a little at a loss at what to do with the alternate forms(if anything). Particularly Hybrid form seems to be purely cosmetic and it would be nice to figure out some mechanics that would be mostly fluff but...

    When a man plays a woman

    funny since my current character is a Spider Hengeyokai/mini-Aranea lol Also a Rogueish steeet rat runaway sort, and one of the character influences was Darlene from Mr. Robot who uses the screenname D0loresH4ze.

    When a man plays a woman

    It never ceases to amaze and worry me how completely divorced some people are from the power dynamics that exist in this world and seem to think everything goes every which way(at least in so far as it is convenient for them), and also the sheer lengths people will go to to uphold this willful...

    When a man plays a woman

    Wow that was the biggest load of crap. Sorry, I've been too exhausted from arguing with actual Nazis lately to care about the people "SJWs" get fired. Or deal with your attempts to turn the argument around on me being a white saviour while dismissing minority concerns yourself, as if you...

    When a man plays a woman

    Don't worry about the voice too much tbh. People are used to it from GMs doing opposite gender voices. Of course I can switch gendered voices pretty easy :)

    When a man plays a woman

    If we're honest about it Gender in general is pretty "make believe". The idea that babies should be dressed in blue or pink, or be ascribed certain stereotypes. That is definitely make believe. The idea that people will identify with certain archetypes over another, when we insist those...

    When a man plays a woman

    Why on earth is this not against the rules, but any retort to it is? No, sorry, it's transphobic. I'm transgender and if this is protected speech it's deeply alienating to anyone like me. You're not putting up an argument here. You just know you can that be a dick to trans people and get away...

    When a man plays a woman

    combining the last 2 posts, trans women don't menstruate, lol. though we still go through fluctuations, OOI - our body is wired to compensate even with a steady supply of estrogen.

    When a man plays a woman

    like i said playing a trans character with a high bluff score lets me have them drop their voice for disguises :P I'm playing an "outsider" character too so it's just another thing that goes with the theme.

    When a man plays a woman

    It's hard to explain but I know that being trans at least there's certain things only trans people will ever really get. That's not to say that great trans characters can't be and haven't been written by cis people, but there'll always be a layer of abstraction there so when you're dealing with...
