    Race-Class-Matchup

    Question: Why Dragonborn Ranger gets 0 when every other choice which gets a bonus to a possible primary stat gets a +?

    D&D 4E Everything You Wanted to Know About 4e

    I don't see that, allthough I remain disapointed by their stance on skill challenges.

    Riposte Strike, etc., and Page 57

    This is sarcasm. Right?

    Ecology of the Dragonborn up

    My thought was "huh, Dragonborn pederasty, probably unintentional, but actually quite appropriate to the culture." On reading the article, the Child/Parent thing works though, I guess. The only people doing silly rationalisations are those rationalising their dislike for an art direction with...

    The quoting of RAW as a trend

    Wait, are you saying you are comparing real world 3.x conversations to internet 4e conversations? Because if so, that would be your problem. Real world conversations come down to "what do we want at our table", in an internet conversation, that's pointless, people want to find out what the rules...

    Magic Item Keywords Question Answered

    If it wasn't ambiguous there wouldn't be multiple 10 page threads arguing about it. Many people read it with the same meaning as the FAQ, so it's obviously a possible interpritation and the FAQ now tells us this interpretation is the intended one. This is what the FAQ does.

    Why are scrying rituals so dang short?

    This would be a better argument if Forbiddance wasn't four levels lower and less than a quarter of the cost. I could be spoilt from 3.x, but 20/30 thousand and an hour of prep for maybe 30 seconds of viewtime feels like it's pushing it.

    two weapon fighting without off hand?

    Theoretically, if we wish to completely go by RAW, it would let you use one handed weapons as if they had the Off-Hand designation. The only times this is actually mentioned in the rules is Ranger Powers which specify "Off hand" and the Two-Weapon Flurry feat. Without this class ability you...

    What's with the Gnome Hate?

    It's so much hate as disinterest. Why would I want to play a dorky looking 3 foot tall guy? Dwarves are tougher and humans are better magic users, there's no hook. So the two major archetypes are "silly and mood breaking" and "likes to dabble with things which don't fit into most D&D settings"...

    Secondary ability benefits - why the wizard inconsistency?

    Please, the Wizard does not have MAD, even the 4e Paladin doesn't have real MAD. With the exception of Spell Focus, most of those feats aren't very good (or at least aren't worth the stat by themself), and the bonus they provide don't scale as those stats get higher, making you at least feel...

    Ranger Questions (multiple attacks, interrupts)

    Twin Strike: There are two attacks. You may use them against one or two targets as you wish. Fox's Cunning: The action type is an Immediate Reaction. This means it happens after the event/attack. Disruptive Strike The action type is an Immediate Interrupt. This means it happens before the...

    In Praise of the Fluff-Light Monster Manual (Forked: Ecology of the Dragonborn up)

    This is part of the problem with the MM, yeah, for me it's awesome, especially since the current campaign I'm doing is ripping stories from WHF and placing them in the fairly well detailed homebrew world that's been made for me. I allready know the background and story of the creature I want to...

    Where is info in 4.0 on how to create Multiclass PC?

    Uh, wha? You don't have any fewer total powers. The at will gets swapped with an at-will you allready have, and the multiclass powers take the place of the PP powers you would have gained at those levels. The only things you're "losing" are the PP flat abilities, which do admitadly make it not...

    High HP feel a little too high?

    Are you refering to the post where he said Solo fights have the possibility to become tiring, or something I haven't read?

    Dragonborn Ecology up at WotC

    Metalics in 3.x had multiple breath Weapons, allthough the second one was usually sleep or paralysis or something besides damage.

    Secondary ability benefits - why the wizard inconsistency?

    Considering the Battle Wizard build says "take powers which do more damage and make the most of your dexterity score" when none do, I'd say thay, yes, something strange is going on there. My Wizard player was actually complaining about this, since a low level Wizard gets no real reason to...

    Ecology of the Dragonborn up

    Opinions on their aesthetic meret or on whoever thought "hey, these Lizard chicks need boobs" are, and allways have been fine, but it's nice to have a good retort to annoying psuodo-biologists who what to complain that the biological details of a fantasy race are "not realistic". Of course now...

    What happened to "Race Matters"?

    Bonuses to hit. Which stack. Not flashy, but not exactly underpowered.

    Grading Daily Powers

    You cannot run while slowed. (Well, you can, but you cannot increase your speed above two), so the limit is more than 4 from a target.

    "Elite Array" vs. Point Buy?

    The Array is just an example of possible point buy usage. There's nothing right or wrong about using it.
