    D&D 4E FR 4E SPOILER - Grand Histoy of the Realms info

    Unlikely, as that would change things too much and much of Eberron works because a whole bunch of things are waiting-in-the-wings for PCs to arrive and mess it up. They've suggested they're moving the Eberron setting ahead by about 2 years. What you're likely to see in that setting is...

    D&D 4E Elements and energies in 4e

    I never really minded earth energy being acid. After all, unlike lightning, fire, and cold, and like something that physically exists like rock, you can hold some acid in your hand (until it eats through your skin). What I'd like to see (but we won't) would be the elements work something like...

    At Will Abilities

    In our world a doctor can set bones, sterilize wounds, apply medicines, and operate all day long. People in our world still get sick, get injured, get crippled from what would appear to be minor injuries. Just because a cleric can cure hit point damage doesn't mean he or she always will...

    New Design article: Elves

    I'm torn in my opinions... I like the idea of elves 'getting back to nature'. I want my elves to use more natural magic and live in harmony with the natural world. Hearing that they have a fey background pleases the story-teller inside of me. Getting away from bookish wizards will help with...

    D&D 4E 4E Roles of The X-men and Other Companies

    Disney's Kim Possible (because I will not be out-geeked) Kim Possible: Defender (she's doing all the heavy fighting) Ron Stoppable: Controller (he's causing disasters that distract the enemy or change the battlefield) Rufus: Striker (specialist, he strikes then is gone back into Ron's pocket)...

    D&D 4E Dump Stats in 4e?

    A very simple way to remove chr as a dump stat could be done as the following: The number of abilities you get from your martial/divine source is based on your mental focus: Wisdom. (Wisdom also links to a number of game important skills like whatever listen/spot morph into.) Your Will saving...

    Condition Track?

    They've said the development of Saga has partially been a test bed for 4th ed. Has anyone with real knowledge given any info on there being something like the -1/-2/-5/-10/knock out Condition Track appearing in 4th? I like the idea of the Track, but it would be a major change to DnD combat. I...

    Announcement Images on flash drive

    Yeah, to mine eyes it's Mialee saying, "I'm so tired of looking bad in 3e pictures. For 4th ed, I'm going all bad-@$$."

    [Frostburn] Shivering Touch: The new Harm

    Ah Shivering Touch... the spell of un-fun SPOILERS for Paizo's Savage Tide I told the wizard to never bring that spell out unless more than 1/2 the party is lying on the ground dying.

    Does anyone else miss Avatar?

    He did for a short while (a very short while). He just didn't stay that way. :D What I like is that when Azula first showed up I was, "Man, how are they going to turn her good?" After about 1/2 way through Book: Earth was I was thinking, "Wait a minute... she's not showing any empathy or...

    Sword and sorcery anime

    Scrapped Princess (a good romp, and fun when you realize the main character's siblings can never make successful will saves) Louie The Rune Soldier (mostly comedy, but any show with a sorcerer/barbarian who in one episode has Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Dead Boar is worthwhile.) Murder Princess...

    BEOWULF - a Robert Zemeckis film

    Including the part where Beowulf is challanged by a door guard and goes on for multiple pages about a swiming contest he had? Something that has nothing to do with the story of Grendel itself? I've read parts of Beowulf, most of The Cantibury Tales, and all of the Lord of the Rings. While I...

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    Or they simply 'forgot' to tell people that Harry replaced the Elder Wand back in Dumbeldore's tomb. So even if Harry is disarmed, the Deathstick is locked under a tonne of granite on the grounds of the most magically protected place in Britain.

    What alignment are these Harry Potter characters? (Spoilers abound.)

    Harry Potter: Neutral Good. Always more interested in doing the right thing than anything else. He certainly flaunted the rules when he felt like it, but he was always kind of aware he was breaking the rules, he just justified it as having a more important goal. Easy to debate this as Chaotic...

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    And Sirusis Black will go down in the wizard history books as a horrible murderer and Death Eater, no matter what those few members of the Order say otherwise. (There are darn few left alive after Wizard War II who know the truth.) So even the history books say something, doesn't mean it's...

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    And anyone who spends five minutes with him will realize that while a loyal friend, terribly brave and holding a wealth of herbology knowledge... he falls far short of being in the running for #2. He's the Hagrid of the modern age: good to have around, useful in his areas of expertise, and...

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    [raised eyebrow] Second greatest wizarding hero? All he did was run (with help) a resistance in Hogwarts, and cut the head off a snake at the critical moment. He showed he was a Gryffindor, true, but the second greatest is a bit much. That title I think goes to the person who kept Harry...

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    Spoilers... (for those who are still worried about such things).... I liked the fact that Dumbledore was shown to be less of a 'living angel' and more of a real person who had made some dumb-a$$ choices in his life. One thing Rowling has shown is that people change. Dumbledore went from a...
