I'd disagree. Both systems need a bit of work without a healer. Potions and use magic device with wands serve as a cleric in 3.5e. The major change was wealth to balance this. Which seems to be what no leader parties in 4e need as well. As I mentioned earlier in this thread my group did this a...

I think your right, this group cant do the standard encounter. If the game is balanced for 4 roles to be filled, missing one won't make or break it. However, taking 2 of the 4 balancing parts of the equation out, means the whole encounter design needs heavy mods. Right now my group is going...

Just wanted to say thanks for the screens. Amusingly enough each DM in my group liked a diffrent one. :)

Not a big change from 3.5 My old Iron Kingdoms and Ptolus games had the same problem. However, with healing potions in Ptolus it worked well. In Iron Kingdoms (gunmage, 2xogrun barbarain, rogue) they had to modify their tactics a bit. It looks the same for 4e. Change of tactics and some...

I go to my local Flgs for 40k, warhammer, comics or dd minis. Sides that the owner, to stay in buisness has gotten away from anything else. He is doing quite well so it seems to have been the right choice. However, the general attitude to things not on that list sends me to the internet. So I...

Ill put in the opinions of my groups two female players (they dont have accounts). Our recent campaigns were Iron Kingdoms privateers, Ptolus, brief Starwars/Eberron, and Rise of the Runelords. They played a gun mage, ogrun barbarian, gnome bard, monk/bard, quickling hawk totem warrior, cleric...

My group had only 4 members Warlord, Rogue, Paladin, and Fighter. So, I removed a skirmisher and a minkobold. However, when the Warlord hit with the daily on Irontooth (+5 for all to hit if I remember right) he went down fast. Though he did manage to take out the dragonborn. The warlord made a...

I am also a little sad they downgraded the dungeon builder. One of the earlier podcasts made it sound like a dungeon and encounter builder, with level apropriate monsters with pull down bars.

The realms did seem the weakest of the group. Some okay ideas but I did little realms in 3e (mostly 1st/2nd) and all they seem to use was Shar cult instead of Orcus. The irony of course is that the 1st edition Throne of Bloodstone, in which you face the Witch King then go and kill/steal the...

Is it too much to ask for people to actually read a post before responding? :) He did say he was comparing 3.5 core to 4e core. And I join you in the general annoyance in the number of people with the book early. KOTS is the only book I have as well.

I like the knights tale idea. The initial plate is sort of a mishmash or old family set. The first magical plate the character gets isn't so much magic as properly made full plate, which in POL setting would probably be equivalent to finiding someone to do a "magical" ritual.

Could even have a finalfantasyX type opening with the Tarrasque destroying the Sizable Kingdomand some how the characters wake up a bit later (century) into a POL version where they truly are outsiders.

Well one they do a nice press of GSL call to 3rd parties then drop it. Makes me wonder how much of the other things they've told us will be dropped. When will the full ddi go online? Also where do you think 4e is coming from? Its coming from ideas in the mess of OGL. Heck they only reason...

Ahh, so once again its all the fault of those with questions/dislike about 4e. No pro-4e poster attacks disenters or heaps positive feeling with no backing. Are you kidding me? Both sides are equally bad. Which side is worse only depends on which side you favor. It just happens this site is a...

Yes, it can happen, but in general the 5-15min days is a complaint of a spell caster blowing all his spells in the opening encounter. Personally if the party flees to rest, then the ogres should follow them out or be set for a return attack. If a hard encounter is at the begining of an...

Because this is enworld and like all forums after having an argument a few times, people assumes everyone opposed to them thinks the same way. This works for pro/anti 4e posters. As for me managing resources, limited mages, fantasy races, iconic monsters, iconic items, and a hero rising from a...

Still have a bit more life of 3.5. I still have 2 AP's (most likely 3 with the nonexistent GSL), and plans in Ptolus and Iron Kingdoms. So while my group is looking at 4e and trying the initial modules, we ill still be playing 3.5 for at least a little bit longer(we are also seeing the ease for...

Funny I found it the opposite. I found in 2e new players could make characters quick with help, but had no clue how to play the game. Heck grapple/overrun were just dm decisions. Most of my group commented on liking 3e cause they understood the system. Everything is a d20 + a number to hit DC...

True, but since this is happening in 4e FR, we no longer have lawful/chaos distinctions. Also it isn't the first time someone replaces a Gods position but with a diffrent alignment.

Hasn't the WOTC argument been you were only suppose to use one monster in 3.5 at a time so the 4e dragon should be compared to any monster in 3.5? The pit fiends cant be compared till we see the pit fiend and all his minions. (In all fairness I never played it that way and think having minions...
