I don't find it as easy to "dump stat". You can still do it, but there are more consequences. I guess a variation of that is.. that all stats are significant / useful / essential to at least some classes.

I think this a great post, so please don't think that I'm quarreling with you.. But you're not really accounting for the presence of supernatural evil, which is prevelent in D&D. A predatory animal like a shark is one thing. So is a race with its own cultural perspective (your example of the...

Replying to the whole community along with Scott.... To jump mediums, this is the 'Galactus Justification' from Marvel Comics. Galactus is a space god that eats living planets to sustain itself. While the sentients of the universe may abhor Galactus, he equates himself with a force of...

Nifty.. thanks Jack!

Sounds terrific! I'd love to make a more insightful post, Shroomy, but you summed it up fairly well. :)

Pardon me if this has already been answered elsewhere.. But this article indicates that there will be three new races.. BESIDES the gnome and half-orc. Has there been any good leaks to indicate what those three races may be? (I assumed the Warforged would be in the EBG)

You the man.

Sorry Jonathan, I'm still not seeing the actual poll.

I appreciate the help.. That would patch the problem certainly, but I was looking for a richer understanding of the rules. But I think this is solved for me. I know how I will proceed now.

Well I do appreciate the civil discourse! You've given me two tons of stuff to think about.. because I'm preparing to run my first 4E game for players who have not run 4E before (tomorrow, Thursday night no less). So I am a noob. You could have gotten mad at me, but I appreciate your...

Gosh, that takes all ambiguity out of it Carl, thank you!

Gosh... I hate internet jerks and I don't want to be one. But that was all one single sentence and I'm still a little confused after a couple readings. Let me reply to what I think you're saying and make a few points. First.. I agree with you in spirit. I wouldn't pull this trick on...

That's what I thought, but I like kicking this sort of thing around a little. Anticipating what might come up as new people are introduced to the game. Frankly this sort of thing would be really exotic in 3.5.. and either would be handled by an item with litte relative chance of failure, or...

In the errata, they clarify that you can teleport prone (and prone while immobilized and so on). This is probably a dumb question, but are you still prone afterwards? Because somebody is going to want to take a shortcut around the fact that standing up is a move action (possibly arguing that...

A couple things. First, under the Shop Tab, in the lower right box there are three tabs.. (a hand, scroll, and a coin..) representing Equipping your items, Notes, and Manipulating your Money. Select the Coin. There should be a Blue Button that says "Level Appropriate". Click that, and you'll...

A completely valid way to do it... What I didn't describe is that there are minions present who are not hidden, who do act on the first round. The original creatures I mentioned are playing at being snipers. I didn't mention the minions because I didn't want to overcomplicate my question...

Again, If you're playing in my game, please don't read this. . . . . . . . . Thanks everybody. I need some rules help. Or rather, I'm looking for a second opinion, because I've gotten one.. but I'm not totally sold on the answer. If you know where this question originated from, please don't...

I run XP and installed the first time with no problems. Easy as pie. A good friend installed, also running XP, and it repeatedly failed to update after the 1-3 installation. He had uninstalled too. He went back, uninstalled again, deleted his characters, deleted all downloaded files, and...

We're cool.. I didn't need to get so het up. :)

For the record.. I don't myself disagree with a lot of the comments in this thread. I'm not throwing Ki Ryn under the bus, he and I are mature adults and can disagree.. particularly since this doesn't preclude him from playing and enjoying the game, or from me running and enjoying the game...
