What the change from All Good to Unaligned does, in essence, is it makes you deal with antagonists as individuals. Your enemies are forced to have a motivation beyond "Well, this Evil moustache they slapped on me is rather fun to twirl around my finger, I have to admit." Tearing out "Color...

Who would ever design something like that? It's obvious how it works. You use the Flaming Sword's daily power, then use Arcane Replenishment on the Flaming Sword. After your milestone, you can use the Flaming Sword's daily power again. Any other way seems a deliberate misreading.

It actually is - publishing Greyhawk means anything that would actually be interesting will be pushed back at least a year. IMO, the only right way to re-release a vintage setting would be to do a complete reboot. Forget the metaplot, the decades of modules and supplements that nobody new to...

To intentionally muddy the waters, there's been some discussion as to whether a bard with (for example) a Paladin encounter power, a Sorcerer Utility, and a Warlock Daily can Paragon Multiclass or not. I say no, as (how I read them) the PMC rules say your Multiclass feats have to be for the...

Really?! Really?! Miko is an object lesson in Lawful Stupid Paladin Syndrome. She's not supposed to be likeable.

Yeah, "Core" is a cop out, and a player or DM who refuses to negotiate about setting expectations seems narrow-minded and not someone I care to play with at all.

I completely agree. Not all of us are clamoring to replay LotR over and over and over. I don't understand this mindest at all. Everything is optional, unless you're forced to play RPGA for some reason. If you and your group disagree about what's cool, that's a problem inside your group and...

"Here are a bunch of things that are awesome/totally sweet! Use them if you want! Or not! Whatever!" And I totally want to jettison elves completely in my games and use Wilden in their place. Won't you please let me have my non-traditional fantasy, side by side with your traditional fantasy...

Oh, and also? People who hold opposite opinions of Prof Cirno's are constantly told that they're wrong for having those opinions. So that might have a whole ton to do with it. Folks, Piratecat here. If you're seeing a problem, report it. The button is an exclamation point in a triangle, and...

Woot! The killoren was my favorite "Races Of" race. I love that they're back. When I was idly statting up a homebrew killoren a while ago, that's exactly what I did, too. I'm glad that they kept the changing Aspects part of the race, it was the best part.

Sounds like some people have bought into the Disney-fication of the "Fair" Folk. Changeling: The Lost should set you straight on the horror of Faerie.

I'm actually glad I'm not on DDI, because what I've heard about much of the Dragon stuff is just off-the-wall crazy. Not overpowered, necessarily, but definitely stuff that's out-there and more and more separate subsystems that seem at-odds with the books and introduce more rules-lawyering...

My next character is using the shaman class, but in the story he's actually being haunted by the vestige of a dead god instead of summoning nature spirits. I love reskinning.

I sure hope there's a "Spirit-Caller" Spear enchantment in the AV2 that works like Pact Blade, because otherwise I'm houseruling one.

I agree. I guess I just don't see any impetus for separate mechanics beyond a reactionary grasp at the traditions of previous editions.

See, this is why it was made a ritual - noncombat magic turned into over-dominance by pushover DMs.

Only the listed number. Otherwise there's no point in having higher level alchemical fire.

The WoT RPG was the first system I ever ran as a DM. I don't remember much of the plot, but I do remember having to rein in a falling damage loophole because uppercutting the enemies with the One Power seemed cheesy. That problem was inherent in the 3e base, though. I used to be pretty...

I would ask, then, what the difference is between a Prayer to Saint X and a Religion-keyed Ritual to Saint X? Isn't a Religion-keyed Ritual just a prayer with codified game rules?

The mere existence of Shemeska the Marauder gives the lie to your claims, glass and Third Wizard.
