The way they make these effects powerful is that you can only use 1 magic weapon effect per day per tier. That is to say, you could have your normal orb +6 and buy a cheapo Orb of Inevitable Continuance +1, but any attack you make that turn has 5 less attack and damage, and once you use that...

It is going to take me a LOT of time and effort to get used to the new wizard. Despite being very pro-4e...I wasn't quite ready for the MASSIVE paradigm shift. I do, however, recognize that it is my own shortsightedness. I DO want to see a Wizard in play now.

Dragonborn aren't lizards.

Hmmm, the best I can see is breach of contract, but even that would be tenuous in court since I doubt hasbro could prove that some copies getting released early caused some sort of monetary damages. I'm willing to bet that buy.com may get a stern talking to. At worst, Hasbro could say "We...

Just piping in that I disagree vehemently as a player. It definitely FEELS better that way, but nothing is more frustrating then looking at what my character has and not having any idea what any of it does. I want as concise a list of stuff I have, with as much mechanical information in as...

I am actually really, really shocked. The way people were building up rituals as the be all and end all, the savior of 4e had me worried. I could just feel the let down heading towards us day by day. But...everything in this article I liked. I love what they are doing with rituals. They are...

This epiphany is dangerous. Just think, how can WotC ever sell us another book? "Here is the Monster Manual 2! It has metallic dragons!" "Uh...you already gave us metallic dragons." "No...we...didn't?" "Yes you did *points to 6 different monsters in the monster manual, a chart of statistics...

This viewpoint seems to be prevalent, and I can't help but to disagree with it. To me, it is a matter of Occam's Razor. Rather than some insidious plot to relieve fools from their money by deliberately removing monsters from the monster manual for use later...I find it much more simple and...

There is some SERIOUS Gamist hate going on on these boards...

The biggest problem with the alignment system is that people have different values and can interpret the alignments in a variety of different ways without being wrong. The alignment system flat out creates arguments, especially from principled people who feel they have a good handle on the...

DKP System: Every member of the party gets 1 DKP for every encounter they are present. Whenever an item drops, you can claim it. If no one objects to your claim, you get that item and your DKP is set to 0. If someone also claims it, both of you roll and the highest roller gets it, and their...

I am forced to think that you, Aria, are seeing things in a bit of a limited fashion. All of the suggestions you have brought forth so far seem to be very good ones by you, but I am not sure if you are taking into consideration what other people may feel. When doing so, you need to realize...

Because if my God granted me the ability to bring people back from the dead, or I was otherwise able to procure that ability, even if it only worked on 1 out of 10,000 people it was used on, there is no way I could possibly turn it down. I mean, c'mon, bringing loved ones back, helping other...

But still. It seems to me that Raise Dead is one of those rituals that may be widely known by clergy, but only works on very few rare people. I can imagine weeping families paying the clerics, knowing very well that there is little chance of it working. They would still have hope, however...

The party begins to set camp as the sun dips below the horizon, casting an appropriately blood-tinged hue to the sky. Two of their members lay unconscious, the three remaining awake ones don't appear to have fared much better. Still jumpy, the rogue turns to the warlord and solemnly comments...

Why not? Catch me if you can sounds like a challenge to me, especially from a halfling paladin worshiping a trickster god/dess. I think the core issue here is...why? A paladin is much better served defending. They have the HP and the armor and the healing surges to function as a good...

http://tinyurl.com/59wart Seriously though, it's the second result on google for the phrase I searched for... I believe he got that from the wikipedia article, which, unfortunately, doesn't have a citation. It merely says "Some historians suspect". To be fair, it sounds vaguely reasonable!

I am very curious where you picked up this information on Intimidate and is usefulness or lack thereof. Did you get to sneak a peek at the books?

And don't forget their interesting manner of dress, particularly in the area of women's fashion!

For all those who replied, excuse me, I am nerdraging, I am sure you can sympathize. I have had more than a few bad DMs in the past, it is really frustrating to come into a game excited about playing, lets give a crazy example, a Tiefling and the DM says "I'm sorry, I don't personally like...
