About the tiles, I think it all depends on how you view them. As I see, tiles have different sizes and shapes, so I would avoid words that might imply a standard size and shape, like 'ladrilho' (which usually imply pieces equal in size and shape that are laid side by side). The rest is more a...

I don't like when I have to use too many connectives, sombra DE magia DE nolzur. Besides, in this particular case, the Spell in the title refers to the new effect. You don't create a shade of other spell, you create a shade spell of another spell (the effect text even mentions it like that)...

elf_beto, hey there, another brazilian. I would translate Swordmage as Mago Espadachim. I see no reason to translate Dungeon Tiles as they are not mentioned in game in any way, if I really had to translate it (like if it was mentioned in some rules text) I would probably go to blocos de...

From what I understand, although you do use shadow magic, the power comes from the netherworld (or the world below, the inferior world), and Nether actually means 'from below, inferior'. The preffix 'infero-' exists on the dictionary as something relating to inferior or from below so...

Just made a pool with my imediate players (my daughter and my nephew, both 10) and they decided for keeping Tiefling and Halfling (although they really like diabolizado, they disliked pequenino). About Revenant/Ressurgido, there was a tie, but since I'm keeping Tiefling/Halfling, I will also...

Klaus, I just made my last in portuguese because I was discussing pronunciation and meanings specific to portuguese. Saying all that in english would be exaustive and counter-productive since non-speaker of portuguese wouldn't "get it". About the mispronunciations, I don't know how it is in...

The following is in portuguese because it is directed at Klaus: Dois brasileiros trocando mensagens em inglês sobre tradução é o cúmulo, não? rs. Então como eu disse antes, eu gosto de termos estrangeiros ou nomes próprios (tanto que não traduzi Berserker, Fallcrest, Troll, Kobold, etc). Só...

Klaus, thank very much for you input. I agree with you on both 'matador' and 'castigar'. 'Matador' was my first choice, but I thought some external input would be helpful. 'Castigar' was a hard one, it too was my first choice, until I see the power Divine Castigation and decided to reserve...

"exterminador/aniquilador" I think that is as negative as "massacrador" but it doesn't give the idea of gore or physical damage (as in a melee attack), in essence it just means someone that get rids of some pest, being it with poison, magic, extraplanar teleportation, etc. Remember the normally...

Ryujin, bad. "Acabo" means to finish, and in portuguese although it could me finish someone off (eu acabo com ele), it is usually used for tasks. Also, it has no implication of an attack, it could be used just as easily to refer to a discussion or a video game match.

Ryujin, already did... :) As I said at another post, I'm translating stuff since the beginning of the Essentials line, so almost for a year now. But I done all of this work so far by myself, and I think I'm not smart enough to it all alone, so I finally came here to the forums to get some ideas...

New terms, Slayer and Smite First I would like to thank you all for you help, it has been an eye opener. Since we are in the topic, I'm rethinking my choices for the Slayer and for the term Smite (as in Smite Undead, Smite Evil, Holy Smite, Piercing Smite, etc). What you (english speakers)...

Wepwawet, Devils are from the Nine Hells, Demons are from the Abyss.

I totally agree with you on using portuguese suffixes and preffixes when it applies. In this case, Tieflings made pacts with Devils and not Demons (they are different in the D&D world). Therefore I would use the root 'diabo' (devil). Here are the dictionary definitions: diabólico adj (gr...

Klaus, about differences on Core and Essentials, here is the final count of powers in Core (ignoring paragon path and epic destiny powers): Chosen powers 2/3/3/5 (at-will/encounter/daily/utility). This is the Warpriest final count: Features 2/5/0/4 Chosen powers 0/0/3/5 Improvements after first...

Klaus, the problem with Tiefling is not the from where it is derivative, it is the derivative suffix -ling. It has no meaning in portuguese, but for an english speaker he knows that is is a person with some trait, even if he doesn't know what the original word for the trait means (earth-lings...

mudlock, actually this is the citation in Wikipedia: The word "drow" is from the Orcadian and Shetlandic dialects of Scots,[5] an alternative form of "trow" (both of which come from the Nordic dökkálfar),[6] which is a cognate for "troll". The Oxford English Dictionary gives no entry for "drow"...

I don't like just a long list of powers to choose from, after a few level with a lot of powers available to use you became a "power distributing machine", I don't think every class need that much stuff. For a wizard, a cleric, a warlock or a druid its nice (and essentials make it like that), but...

mudlock and Ryujin, actually Drow is the proper name of the race, the HotFL says in the description: "The drow (referred as "dark elves" by the mortal races) ...", so we can see that they are indeed dark elves, and Drow are just the name of its race. The same is true with Eladrin (actually both...

Just found this on wikipedia: The name "Tiefling" was coined by Wolfgang Baur, when original Planescape designer David "Zeb" Cook asked for a Germanic-sounding word for humans with fiendish blood. Baur derived the name from Teufel, or "Devil" in German. Now, the -ing is commonly add to words to...
