I've long since thought that "Psychic Robot" was a troll of some kind. Perhaps not an intentional one - but someone who is so completely embittered by 4E that he has to fill all of his posts with vitriol. Also, as an aside - someone on that other web site made a post attacking ENWorld for...

I have little problem with adventurers going for knock-out blows on their enemies. Heck, it makes for great RPG moments. But the one area I do have a problem is how easy it is. The rules state that if the damage you do to someone is enough to kill, you can instead decide to knock them...

Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, okay? I know that talking about the economy in D&D is like talking about an incarcerated uncle when you're at the dinner table, but come on. I just have a small question. Please? Ok, based upon the prices for the services and goods in the Players Handbook, in your...

So each of these is a lesson learned, I take it. Which to me is really, really scary that #7 and #9 are on that list. The mind boggles. Good information here, though!

I wish I could bold this, colorize it, and then blast it into the brain of some people.

My world is very steampunkish. And while I like some of the things here, I can't help but be a bit sad that the Artificer isn't more... I dunno... mechanical? That's probably my own bias and hope talking there, I realize that. I see this class, and I think wow, I wonder what I could do trying...

Where do you get that definition of Stealth, Reed? The definition in 4E seems to be, "Make a Stealth check to conceal yourself from enemies, slink past guards, slip away without being noticed, and sneak up on people without being seen or heard." I can see what you're saying, but do you...

Well, that's a more logical approach, in my opinion. But personally I think it should be: Allies can grant cover Exception: Not for purposes of initiating stealth

Your blog is fairly clear to understand, and it uses most of what I've seen so far in attempts to clarify the matter. Where, in my opinion, you run into a problem is with this part: You should have stopped at "that it couldn't happen". Because that's true. And I'm going to state that the...

This could be a problem. I would want to access DDI from both my home and work computer.

You are quite correct in your assumptions there. There are exceptions to this rule (hey! Of course!). To something like 1[W] you also can add: * Weapon Focus damage (+1) * Weapon Enchantment (+x) That's the two I can think of off the top of my head early in the morning before coffee. :)

This needs to go right back up to the top, so that it is seen by many others.

Wow, some great ideas here!

My campaign is very much flavored with steampunk, and I've written up some rules for firearms (slightly more powerful than a crossbow). My question is this - in a campaign with such victorian flavoring, sooner or later someone will 'demand satisfaction' and there will be a duel. Twenty paces...

Only if I can glue a dagger to the end of my bastard sword.

Hey Stalker - check out this http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dungeon - it's a new adventure from Dungeon magazine, and it has two examples of skill challenges.

I like, I like! One thing off the top of my head. I really like that there is an increasing difficulty for Aiding Another (albeit still easy). But - the "Aid Another" game mechanic always is against DC 10. Perhaps it might reduce confusion if your mechanic is called something else? "Helpful...

Speaking of Stalker0's Revised system - any update on when the new version is coming out, Stalker?

Well said, sir.

This is the problem with evil groups, and why they have left out that 'style' completely. It rarely works (and when it does it usually devolves into 'kill porn'). Motivating evil groups is way too difficult for DM's...
