Yeah I don't understand how releasing pdf versions of WotC books would "feed" pirating. I'm sure with an hour or two of googling I could obtain every 3, 3.5, and 4E product produced by WotC. I can maybe understand 3PP not publishing pdf copies to reduce pirating...typically because their...

NWN1 was pretty good...the story wasn't that great, but it was bioware, so it will still a good game. NWN2 was a royal pain in the arse, I couldn't force myself to play more than an hour or two before stabbing my eyes in frustration over both the UI and camera. I didn't care much for the NWN...

I would say that in D&D, as with everything else, sex sells. I think it's ludicrous to believe that D&D stereotypes female sexuality to the exclusion of male sexuality. Seriously, browse through the romance section...specifically look for historical fantasy novels...and tell me that the way...

One key thing I would mention is this: Never use a solo that is higher level than the party. That is really the only source of the "high defenses make them too grindy" point. If you insist on using a making a more-challenging-than-average solo encounter, keep the solo equal to party level, but...

"Trogdor Report: Peasant Deaths Are Up". Peasant deaths due to Dragons in the past six months rose a modest 6 percent, the Dragon Knight commission said Sunday. The modest increase suggested that the King's and Knighthood's efforts to hold down peasant casualties are showing some success, but...

One suggestion I haven't seen in this thread yet would be replacing the Daily-power system with a combo system. So you'd still have three tiers of powers: at-will, encounter, and daily, however you could only use them on round 1/2/3 respectively. After using the 3rd tier you'd reset back to 1...

I'd support a 4.1. Which would basically be a reprinting of PHB/DMG/MM1/MM2 with all the up-to-date errata. The monster manuals are really annoying to me right now. I hate trying to remember which book which monster comes from, so I can get it on the MM3 damage spread. And then remembering...

If the "new" setting is Greyhawk, I'd probably stab my eyes out in boredom. Ravenloft...I loved Ravenloft, but its just not the right fit for 4E at all. Birthright, Mystara, only slightly better than Greyhawk. Spelljammer, Al'Quadim, Planescape, a little more interesting...but I doubt there's...

Back in the day, I was a big fan of the "Sharn Inquisitive", news articles that provide players with pick-n-choose hooks. I'd like to make something similar, but for generic 4E. Feel free to chime in with your own ideas! :) 1. "Crossbow Bolting Kills 3, wounds several" Last Tuesday, an Ale...

Interesting, I would have expected ENWorld to be younger than the representative sample. Most of the older, married gamers I know aren't very interested in using the internet (or even stuff like character builder) as a gaming resource.

I chose yes. But as mentioned previously in this thread, there is a big difference between "mature evil" and "immature evil". I'm not interested in a supplement that puts gold values on prostitutes and sex toys. But I would be very interested in a rules-light supplement that would assist a DM...

I think it's interesting to note that from the poll's results so far, the average gamer is slightly more likely to be married than the average American. Not that I'm very surprised by this. Nerdy math-love aside, D&D is still very much a social game. In this day & age I would expect loners to...

I guess my definition of campaign comes from history. When you talk about "Hitler's Russia Campaign", you're talking about operation barbarossa in 1941, you're not talking about the entire earth in 1941. (nor all of Hitler's actions in 1941, or all of russia in 1941). World setting does not...

Yeah, that was certainly something that I've thought about when I was trying to think up my own martial controller. The problem is balance. In one full round, everybody gets 1 standard, move, minor, and immediate action. You can turn standards into moves, and moves into minors, but you can't...

Yeah, I have my concerns with that power. I did model it after thunderwave, but with the understanding that 1[W] +STR damage would be > 1d6 + INT damage....so it would be balanced "enemies only" vs. push = secondary modifier. Originally I was concerned that "enemy only" was too powerful a rider...

There used to be a really good post of a martial controller: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/235589-new-class-lancer.html . Sadly, it looks like most of the information in that thread has been removed. So I decided to go about making my own martial controller class...

I think this is a cool concept for a new race...a race that doesn't propagate itself, but comes into being in a different way, much like Devas. But what you describe aren't Rakshasa at all. There's nothing in there that would explain their enchantment, illusion, and necromantic talents...nor...

I wonder if 2d8 would be a better match for such a system. A 1 in 6 chance of exploding is going to happen almost 2x as often as the 1 in 10 chance you thought worked well with this system. 1d20 avg = 10.5 1d8 avg = 4.5 2d8 avg = 9 "Exploding 8" avg = (1/8) * 4.5 + (1/8)(1/8) * 4.5 +...

Personally, I've always liked the idea of teleporting making a "Bamf" sound, ala Nightcrawler/XMen. :) I think it make sense that the further you teleport, the more difficult it becomes to conceal the sound.

This doesn't make sense to me. They all inflict the prone condition. If Bob the Fighter knocks Monster prone, sure, the only benefit that Bob the Fighter gets from it is keeping the enemy close to them. But it also provides all the listed benefits to everyone else in the party; because Bob the...
