Confessions of a D&D racist I used to steotype dwarve clerics, maybe in a few years it'll change to elven clerics. I never liked em, elves in general I mean. They live forever (which I think would change everything), they can automatically use the cool weapons (which meant they were an...

The things I would keep: 1) Points of Light: which is funny because it's entirely imagination and therefore isn't even a mechanic. A general feel to settings with general backstory elements that both employ a feel of fantasy and exploration = cool. I just like that by stating in the DMG that...

I gotta say I love this idea. If anyone ever starts such a site I would definately like to know. For my first 4e campaign I was going to design an area of 30 square miles or so and say that there were mountains in one direction and a sea in another and that was it. I'd try to keep the PC's...

Also, keep in mind that feats (especially the class training feats) could easily allow you to pick up the outside-the-archtype features you want. I'm afraid that too many people are deciding whats wrong with 4e even though only 10% of the rules are out... and even those have already been changed!

I've never really played D&D before but I heard there was a an element chance involved, like maybe some rounds you hit and some you don't.

THANK YOU! This statement should have ended the whole discussion!

I first encountered encounter powers in the Dungeonscape book, a la my friend playing a factotum. It totally screwed the session because no one could find a rule that described how to handle per encounter powers when your not in an encounter... are they unlimited then? I'm hoping with 4e...

The ability to damage more than one person is a huge ability to lose. Most of the playtests I have read where the party didn't have a wizard said they thought they did poorly because of the lack of area-damaging spells. I mean 4e encounters are generally based on multiple monsters, "often...

I have to say I originally found the "total heal at the end of the day" dish an unappetizing recipe for my simulationsit cookbook. However, once I realized that this (and the other new healing rules) allowed me to serve a good meal with the cleric sauce optional (instead of mandatory as it was)...

True, but from everything I have read there is no area-of-effect martial powers. Taking away one guys power to hurt one dude per round -owie- taking away one (or more) guys power to hurt/heal multiple guys per round -now your screwed.

I thinkg if you are creative enough (as all those OD&D types saw we aren't any more) you should be able to imagine a way for all of these rules to work. If you're standing next to a half elf and speaking the half elf just pops in once in while with a comment that steers you in a more diplomatic...

I read about a wizard utility that was 15th level (?) that did radius thunder damage pushing all opponents back 4 squares. To me this kind of power sounds like it would knock characters back, like a blast or explosion would, leaving them prone. However, I haven't seen any mention of prone. I...

Paul "The Wall" Cicero In one 3.5 campaign our DM had is involved in a war against hobgoblins. My character, Paul Cicero (a knight) would regularly kill so many that our DM had to make a house rule like this. I had always wanted a character with a cool nickname or title but I never had one...
