    Paladins mark "fix" a plazebo?

    I don't see a problem with the fix. Okay... it may have clunky wording but I'm not worried about that. -If there is more than one critter the monsters that aren't marked get to tear into the squishies. -If the monster has ranged attacks it gets to retaliate. -If the monster gets to...

    D&D 4E Love It or Leave It: 4E Multiclassing

    So far I like it.

    Coolest. Soundtrack. EVAR.

    As a rule of thumb anything by Hans Zimmer (The Rock, Broken Arrow, Gladiator, Pirates 2 & 3, etc) will have good battle music. Crimson Tide doesn't have good battle music but even that has incredible atmosphere music. Also look at the Bourne movies (Bourne Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum)...

    April and Beyond is up

    Hmmmmmm... That was... barely worth my time to glance over. And add my voice to the chorus of 'Drop the lifestyle stuff!!'

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 is Anime! Wait, what?

    If I remember correctly it was "WotC" and anime that was at issue in that thread; not "3e" and anime. That was why Paizo's stuff was dismissed; but this is really beside the point.

    Anyone else getting anti-4E spam?

    No good spam today; but I apparently have a few ladies that want to meet me in chat rooms. Maybe I can impress them with the money I won in overseas lotteries.

    Ghostwalk

    Manifest was an important part of my group's last campaign though the campaign wasn't centered around Manifest itself. Everyone in our group loved it and looked forward to times we would return to the city. While I don't own the book (so take this comment as you will) Ghostwalk doesn't...

    Why remove the Dodge feat, but add "marks"?

    Likely as much as it is now... Player A: I rolled a 17. Do I hit? DM: Close, but he just avoids your blow... You miss. Player B: Did you include the +3 from my Bardic Music? Player C: Did you include the +1 from the Haste spell I cast on you? Player D: Did you include the +2 from the...

    D&D 4E I really don't like the new 4E PHB cover

    While I disagree that many of the pictures from the massive list of examples on the last page aren't examples of what was asked for... It still does show that action shots with monsters are a popular cover choice. There has to be a reason why it is popular. This reason could be that all of...

    Our (as in ENWorld's) tribute to Gary

    I hate 'me too' posts but I have nothing new to add but another voice of appreciation. Thank you very much for doing this Michael.

    I was planning on posting in here; but since you insist I stay out of the thread...

    Gary Gygax has passed. RIP beloved father of RPG's. (merged)

    My condolences to the Gygax family and all of his friends.

    D&D 4E Vote for your favorite 4E PHB cover!

    Green Dragon, easily. Why? 1) I think it shows 'adventure' the best. The second cover has a bit of 'exploration' going for it but the dragon has the best 'adventure and excitement' aspect going for it. 2) Widest Range of characters. The first two options have "A Girl and Weird Critter"...

    New Player's Handbook Cover Art!

    The Character Record Sheets; now there is a product that focuses on the PCs. So why is that the item that has the cover dominated by the dragon?

    New Player's Handbook Cover Art!

    That's where I differ. To me the PHB focus on the core rules of the game (even more central and important than the DMG and the MM). It is the one single book each player will need access to but it does not focus on the PCs. The PHB has the combat rules, equipment lists, spell lists...

    New Player's Handbook Cover Art!

    I'm going to have to disagree with you (and apparently WotC) there. They have the character sheets, which is for PCs only, so they can use the Posing PCs image (either of the two) for that cover. However, the PHB is arguably the most important book for the game. I think it should focus on the...

    New Player's Handbook Cover Art!

    Granted, a larger image might make the dragonborn not look goofy but at this size it looks like a blob of some sort. However, I do like the atmosphere of the new cover better than the fashion show that was the old cover. Between the two, it currently is a wash as far as I am concerned. When I...

    Dragon Editorial: Fearless

    I do. Well, to be perfectly fair I want to play 'Superheroes in Full Plate' but I think the idea is the same. That was what our last campaign (3e) turned into well before it ended at level 27 and my character had ditched all armor because his Dex was so high (he had Bracers of Armor... but...

    Have you pre-ordered?

    I have preordered the 3 core rule books. I'm not even sure if we as a group will switch; but this way we'll have the info to make an informed choice.

    Whiney players....

    As far as I can tell... poor initial wording. How it was initially phrased there was no indication that there were things the mage could blast in the session. This was rectified in later posting but it was already too late; the discussion had moved on to a "100% spotlight" extreme vs a "DM...
