    Some thoughts on a Martial Controller...

    Sounds viable as a class concept, but also sounds a bit too much like an Artificer or Wizard to divorce the controller away from its "magic-ness". This is a toughie. This only examples we've gotten so far of Controllers are explicitly magical, and their incarnations from previous editions...

    OoTS 655

    Absolutely true. For all we know he doesn't even have Craft Wondrous Item.

    OotS 654

    I think this unfair. What's his other option? Run naked through the ruins of Azure City and hook up with the resistance he doesn't know exists? Endure more daily torture until by they kill him? O-Chul is doing the correct thing. He may swing the battle if he redeems MitD (does anyone else...

    D&D 4E 4e vs. Paizo: Mommy, Daddy, please stop fighting!

    Competition is good for consumers, whether it be parental affection or role playing games. Given the circumstances, I think we have a White Wolf type of situation, where one brand initially starts off very close to another (WW got it's start publishing a D&D newsletter) and gradually drifts...

    MM2 - changing the hit points?

    I'm torn. On the one hand, Monsters do have far too many hit points in 4th, and adjusting them is a nice move by wizards. On the other, I like the method I currently use (Half HP, double damage) to speed up combat and don't like messing with it.

    OotS #650 is up!

    I don't know... V killed the Dragon without breaking a sweat, right? S/he'll also have the element of surprise going into Azure City, unless Cloister has an alarm effect we don't know about. If we're just bouncing ideas off each other, I doubt they'll actually fight at all. I'm thinking Xykon...

    OotS 649

    Anyone notice that V's sissification continued in this strip as well? S/he was about to hop to another friggen' plane before Haley just popped to over to the cast page and picked up a diamond. Of course, they still kinda need the Teleports, but I doubt when V traded hir soul, s/he thought she'd...

    Professional GM: Possible Return

    You had me up until here, but this, in combination with all the other baffling stuff I've seen in your threads is simply too much for me to suspend my disbelief. Well played sir, well played.

    Speculation -- next Friday's PH3 Playtest?

    You may be onto something here. The adverts for Player's Guide to Eberron mention "new race options" but not specifically any new races. Since Shifters, Changelings, and Warforged are already in the mix, they don't really need to. Kalashtar are far and away the highest profile race not...

    Speculation -- next Friday's PH3 Playtest?

    Perhaps I should have written multi-modal, but I thought that would be too confusing. I mean a race that has multiple partially-exclusive options written into its text. Illumians are multi-modal because there are many choices of sigils and even more choices of words one could form. Although one...

    I love D&D!

    I've been playing 5 years this month, and the only that'll slow me down is starting Law School in the fall. I too love D&D!

    Speculation -- next Friday's PH3 Playtest?

    I'm not quite sure why it would be hint at 2010's Campaign Setting. Wouldn't that content be put in the Player's Guide to whatever it is, rather than PHB3? I'm going to assume 2010's setting will be Dark Sun and therefore Elan, Half-Giants, or Thri-Kreen will not be the preview race. Given how...

    OOTS 645 Its where the Cool Kids Swim

    Wow! Just one little teleport spell away from getting the band back together. It's like Guns n' Roses. :confused: Maybe I'll forget I said anything.

    OotS #643

    Call me a flip-flopper, but after the last two strips I don't think V will either kill Xykon or become the big bad. Neither serve the story well enough for Rich to pull the trigger on either of these other wise plausible conjectures. Why are they not "good" enough? We already have at least two...

    OotS #643

    I agree with you here, though the last panel is kind of ambiguous--is V shouting at the Kaitos, the spliced souls, or both?

    Game Day Observations

    Hello all, I DM'ed two sessions of "A Dark Night in Weeping Briar" and I just wanted post my impressions with the pre-genned characters that were including in that adventure. In my opinion, arguing about the merits or weaknesses of a class aren't as useful as watching them in play. With that in...

    Oots 638

    Hmmm. Technically, it was the other two who explicitly didn't know V's gender (in 387 the Cedrik and Lee say She--he--it?). But I'll admit that's too dodgy for even me to buy. Far more likely that they don't know her/his gender and slipped.

    Anyone else notice that Nero referred to V as a he? Never thought Rich would actually settle it, but there it is.

    Suggestion: No April Fools prank this year, please. (Forked Thread: About Reveille)

    What Rev did was wrong, but if we let one troll put the brakes on normal (or abnormal) life here at EN World, then I say the reactions to the trolling have totally overshadowed the trolling itself. Whatever his motivation, it was a naked plea for attention. Don't give him the satisfaction of...

    About Reveille

    This is a really fascinating incident--I don't think I've seen a board (or online community) respond to trolling like this. What Rev did was wrong. I think he ought to be suspended, but not banned. Flamers and other assorted morons get suspended with due regularity around here, from what I can...
