It does not have to be the official D&D one, but any kind of "battlemat" :)

Yeah, fair point :) But due to the heavy armour check penalty I might make the Tower Shield +5 to AC, just to set it apart from the rest. Food for thought :)

So far it seems to be going okay in our group. The people who before wanted to have a shield but didn't like the rules in the PHB use them now. We haven't noticed any unbalancing...so far ;) I wouldn't say they're far better than the -2 weapons or 2-handed options, as both seem to be kind of...

You've made some great points - thanks :) Yeah, will polish it up and then post it here and we can all pick it apart and strive to make it something pretty damn cool...hopefully :p As for HPs, however, we have toyed with the idea of not having them increase as the pc's character adventures on...

No Levels Okay, here's one thing we have toyed with recently. And it was about eleminating BAB and levels...sort of ;) This is what we did: *There is no BAB. * Weapon groups are just like skills - you purchase ranks in them. Therefore, at 1st level you can buy ranks in Simple Light Melee...

Okay, there's one thing that's always niggled me about D&D in any shape or form, and that is shields. In true combat (real life stuff ;)), shields are a very effective form of protection. However, in 3.5 I don't think they still fully address the problem. The Buckler and Light Shields give AC...

Hey there. In all honesty, I've never really paid much attention to CR when it comes to monsters. Usually, I just have a quick look at how many hp a creature is likely to have and go from there, to see whether or not the pcs are capable of giving it a decent fight. As for starting hps for...

Well, it certainly gives me the impression that WOTC realise not everyone has embraced 4e. They'd be pretty ignorant (or arrogant :p) to think that everyone "upgraded". They know people still hang on to 3.5 and earlier editions. By putting this on the back of a product, it enables those who...

:lol: HAHAHA! *wipes tears of laughter from eyes*

I picked up the Campaign Setting two months ago and every time I read it I get new ideas for another adventure. Full of cool and interesting stuff, with many grey areas - not all regions, etc are so black and white. And, as someone posted here before, very little in the way of crunch. Mostly...

:lol: Yeah, that's kind of weird, huh? What does that say about us as gamers? :eek:

This is strictly from my point of view, ok? :heh: I kept up to date with most of the WOTC announcements regarding the coming of 4e, and from what I read (a fair bit), I never got the impression that the game would be such a radical departure (in my opinion). I read them saying they would...

In all honesty, I only put those 5 options because I can't imagine WOTC ever releasing a 4e Planescape setting...not with the new cosmology and the manual of the planes book, etc. I really just don't think it's part of their plan (my opinion). I listed the 5 settings I thought might have a...

I have to agree. I loved Birthright, but after reading numerous comments on these forums I realised there wasn't that much love for Birthright as I had hoped, so I left it out of the list. I should have put it in, but... Anyway, Birthright has been a favourite of mine for ages, and, as you...

I'd have to second that motion. Born and bred on D&D, but when Shadowrun came along it was like a breath of fresh air...and with enough D&D ties to it (races) to intrigue me from the moment I saw it. I still play Shadowrun (though not a big fan of SR 4th edition), and it's always gone neck and...

We all have our favourite classes we like to play, and some classes get favoured more than others. In D&D 4e which character classes are you least likely to want to play?

It's no secret that WOTC are planning on releasing 4e versions of some of their previous campaign settings. If you could only choose 1 campaign setting to be re-released, which one would you choose:

I don't know about you, but the 3e FR Campaign Setting book was absolutely awesome! I could run endless campaigns just with that book alone :)

hahaha! Soooo true! :heh:
