How about the Oxford English Dictionary (aka the OED) for a reliable source? The following are abbreviated entries from the 2007 online edition of the source for word histories. In general, most lengthy discussions connect wicce and wicca with weik or wik (mentioned in entry 3 below), which...

Perhaps you missed this part of my post: People would recognize it, despite the wide variety of images and ideas of "witches" we have in modern culture.

Actually, the Bards of 1st edition AD&D had druid spells and were known to be allied with Druids. Also, real world Druids and Bards were parts of the same religion. Your opinion is biased on the last 2 editions of D&D with the Bards alliance with arcane magic. While it made some sense to make...

The Warlock's not very Witchy But the made-up powers of the "Warlock" have almost no connection to the ideas surrounding what a "Witch" can do. It's like saying let's call the "Wizard" a "Magic Blaster" just cuz it avoids too many names starting with W's. The idea of a name is to exemplify in...

I've seen other people suggest this, but has anyone else considered some of the Druid and Bard being folded together?

Yet lives on as Spycraft. Really, if WotC allowed them to 'port over a bunch of stuff that was restricted, that would be an excellent modern/fantasy game.

It was said somewhere that the Paladin gains his strength from the divine: deity-inspired powers and abilities. Perhaps the "Swordmage" gains her skill by having cast spells upon herself. Someone suggested this earlier in the thread, just not using the new, high-fallutin' power source lingo...

The "problems" you all are pointing out seem to have a fairly reasonable and easy fix: 1- Make the Feat "Skill Training" allow the character to become trained in ANY one skill, whether in class or out. 2- Make the Feat "Skill Focus" only allowable at Level 11 (Paragon level); and add another...

um, what if the Wrecker decides to smash through the dock and take someone down with him? I'm thinking it's better to know what he's doing than just let him swim away or sneak up on someone. And if he's escaping, then we can figure out what direction he's going.

OOC: Good point...Wanda will switch out her protective shield from Luck Control array with True Sight to use during ESP, which counters darkness. I think this would be a Free action to switch and non-action to see... Notice check: 11 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1255854 another...

SCARLET WITCH; 6 Hero Points The Scarlet Witch chants a quick spell and waves her hand in front of her eyes. OOC: The Scarlet Witch will use her Magic: Scrying power to find The Wrecker and track his movement under the dock. Her range is 1000 feet. He gets a Notice check vs. 13 to detect the...

In Monster Manual 3.0, the Eladrin representatives, The Ghaeles, are described as "easily ... mistaken for noble elves if not for their opalescent eyes and radiant aura" (p. 32). As others have noted, the name "Eladrin" is notoriously similar to the word "Eldar," which is a name given for the...

SCARLET WITCH; 6 Hero Points OOC: This round, The Scarlet Witch will take a full move action just to get to the edge of the battle scene, staying behind the mob of police officers. I presume the horses and dockworkers and riflemen are all scurrying to+fro...

ah...claims without evidence. It's like teaching undergraduate college writing all over again.

I'm sick of the kvetching that 4e is like some computer game or might prohibit certain types of adventure. To me, this description actually strikes me as similar to the Known World from the Old D&D red, blue, and green books (and their Gazetteers). It's also rather similar to some areas of...

SCARLET WITCH, 6 hero points With a thought, the Scarlet Witch uses her uncanny powers to conjure a protective field around herself. As she continues moving closer to the battle ahead, she gestures at its center and unleashes a potent hex to fell her foes. OOC: As a Free Action, The Scarlet...

The original was 1 square = 25 feet If you compare them, these closer ones seem to be 1 square = 10 feet.

SCARLET WITCH; 6 Hero Points The Scarlet Witch leaves her hiding place inside the warehouse. She glances at the chaos, and with a gesture, adds to it. OOC: As a Move Action, Scarlet Witch moves 30' toward the battle scene. As a Move Action, use Probability Control: Trip alternate power...

SCARLET WITCH; 6 Hero Points OOC: Initiative 10 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1214156 Scarlet Witch uses an alternate power from Luck Control to give herself True Sight, allowing a counter to Thor's Obscruing rain. Then, she will use her alternate power of Probability Control to...

Just so you know, I too placed my oder on July 3, but I got all but one book in a timely manner. I am still waiting for that final book, which I was told was shipped on July 28. So, you're not alone in the wait. :) If we don't get them this week, someone from Goodman might want to go down to...
