I'm willing to bet that the Elemental power source will come from the Primordials, similar to how the Divine power source comes from the Gods.

I don't understand the glee with which people put forth this idea. Is it really fun for you as DM to constantly harass your players about their characters? Wouldn't it just be better to ban 'goofy' races and be done with it? Is it Tolkien Fantasy V Other Fantasy raging? I just don't see the...

You can move around obstacles. Basically the restriction is there so you don't circle around back with a charge.

Me too. Indeed, my non-loophole-seeking mind didn't even consider swapping dailies for utilities. "What do the rules specifically say you are Allowed to do?", not "What don't the rules Forbid me to do?"

I don't play WoW, or any computer game for that matter. I've given up on the System Requirements Arms Race, because I can't keep up. Every new game that comes out practically requires a complete system overhaul, simply because the designers can demand it. I don't have the resources to even...

Forget the 'can', the 'and', and the 'additional', this is the real heart of the matter: Do you want to introduce infinite healing into your game?

If you want to houserule that multiclassing into paladin or wizard gives you Skill Focus, that seems dandy to me. But it's a houserule.

I hope you're joking. An extra at-will and Wild Shape (including shift as a minor action) make them plenty good without also giving them cantrips. Indeed. If your divine characters aren't at least a little bit henotheistic, that seems odd to me. Well, no. It's not how polytheism has been...

It's not 'work', but it is a lot of effort. I probably shouldn't have called it 'work' - it seems I got jumped on for that. One thing I don't like is to have my effort go to waste. Sure, half the fun is the improv when my players throw a curve ball, but I certainly wouldn't feel appreciated...

No, it's selfish. I want to run a game/story of high adventure and danger, not listen to you list off bakery ingredients for several hours at a time. That's not fun for me - it's my game, too. I deserve to enjoy being a DM, because it's a bunch of work. So if the players refuse to go to the...

Eh. I think of the Blackguard as divine myself. I hope they call the Shadow Defender the Hexblade.

Ah, false equivalence! That's what was missing from this thread. Seriously, though, there are two sides here - the side that hates the new stuff because it's different, and the side that's patiently trying to show how all the old stuff is still right where they left it, and how it's not really...

I certainly don't want fifty pages detailing the endless layers of the planes of Instant Death. That sort of thing is worse than useless. I want page count to describe Places You Can Venture To, and not "Oh, these places are so extremely awesome cool and you can never go there, ha ha".

I would drop the '+5 per plus' from the facilities, giving a straight '+X' for each level. Then make them line up with magic item levels.

Wouldn't that be just one big encounter?

Leaving out the Planescape detritus makes me more likely to pick this book up. Thanks, WotC!

NPC vs NPC? Nope, no rolls for me. I may randomly roll a die behind the screen, but the number doesn't matter. He does some damage, or not, whatever. If he's fighting the same creature for a while, he'll bloody it or he'll get bloodied. If he's going to do something awesome, I already know...

Do you really fight four encounters back to back, with only a 5 minute rest between them? How is that even possible?

...March?

Here's what I did when my players took their soldiers to quell the southern tribes. I started out with tiles from Settlers of Catan as the map, and worked from there. Each turn is the equivalent of one day. HP = The number of soldiers in the unit Starting Resources = Leader’s Healing...
