Which is precisely why I built myself a little app to enter my characters powers, and print them out formatted EXACTLY like they looked in the PHBs...just with the math done for me. =/

Hey folks, This was brought to my attention this morning reading over www.gnomestew.com. I've debating posting this here, because I don't want to feel like I'm advertising...I'm not. I'm not affiliated with the USAF, or Gnome Stew, in any way - thought I do read Gnome Stew. And though I do...

Okay. "Gives" was a poor choice of words - assume I meant "provides". Regardless...it was always a service, IMO. I always considered my DDI account to be a subscription granting me access to the data in a digital format, not to be a fee I was paying to rent their software application. It's...

I'm sure there's a hack involved in there somewhere or something...I'm not a Linux guy at all, but I'll ask him what he's planning on doing, and send you a PM.

No, it's not required. People want to pretend it is, but it's simply not. It's incredibly useful, it simplifies and eases the character building process, but it's not required. No one, ever, in the history of 4e, has been been required to have a DDI account to build a character. And they...

I am absolutely failing to see where all this uproar is coming from...this announcement has absolutely ZERO net impact on me, and gives my one dedicated "Mac Guy" player the option to not have to use his nightmarishly slow Windows PC for the CB anymore. Ditto for my "open source guy" player -...

Agreed. There are going to be some very angry people over this, I'm sure. But I can honestly say I'd never let my players use a computer or handheld device while at the table to play anyway - too many distractions. Print the damn thing out, sit down with your dice, and pay attention like the...

Gasp! mudbunny tacitly confirms that there is something coming at 10:00 am PST! ;)

Thanks, Scribble. I'd XP you, but the Dark Powers are informing me that I need to spread the XP love around some more before I can give it to you again. Can anyone help a fellow out?

I will take this as a Good SignTM.

Any kind of link to verify this programmer's statement?

I disagree. "Re-education" would be showing the goblin how much better off he could be by participating in "civilized" society in a way that was conducive and productive for them, and for their close friends and allies. Brainwashing implies stripping that goblin of identity, and reprogramming...

This. Even assuming your party doesn't go for the torture route it sounds like you're hinting at (which, as stated above, wouldn't constitute brainwashing in the least bit), I'd have to assume the conscious act of forcibly destroying an individuals identity and then rebuilding it to more...

Obvious joke is obvious! ;)

Quick quibble: it's a "golem"...a Flesh Gollum would be an entirely different beast, and likely infringe on a copyright or two. :)

This. I have my huge "combat dice" that I always jokingly threaten double as projectiles versus particularly annoying players, and my teeny-tiny dice. And then a pile that fit in between them in the "standard" size. There is no "regulation size". If they're polyhedral and not "loaded"...

Obvious troll is obvious.

Nevermind! Just realized that Marked targets aren't subject to the eFighter's aura effects. Whew. *wipes sweat off his brow*

Solved my own problem...nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along... My group will be introducing a new player and character this Friday, in addition to the debut of an existing character with their Essentials rebuild. During our pre-session email banter, the new player and the...

Obviously, I can only speak for myself, but I am ALWAYS on the lookout for new applications I can use to improve my game.
