There are tens of thousands of times more people who know who Han Solo is than know who Drizzt Do'Urden is. It's not even close.

Star Wars merchandising is a world of its own. George Lucas practically invented the market.

Extremely. The compendium is a dream tool, and the Char Builder is the best yet of its kind.

PHB, p.276, damage roll example in second column clarifies that this is indeed the case. Nevermind then... :)

If I crit with this weapon, I can decide to activate the power after I hit, and this will always add the max of 8, correct?

Yeah, I'll third the need for a failure condition. Skill Challenges are a mechanic that represent heroism under duress.

How much did they pay to print them "fancy"? I can't imagine that they saved much over the cost of just buying the actual books...

Here's a recent thread on this topic: Trying to get hit

There's a DM at the table too, and he/she can easily prevent this. I'm not saying it's not a new thing to think about, but it shouldn't be a game-breaker at all.

Ah. You mean John Romero. ;) Actually, you mean George. John was definitely influenced by George on some level I'm sure. Possibly Caesar as well...

More praise Woot. Just woot. In my eyes, this is the most productive, practical piece of software I've ever played with for d&d, "official" or otherwise. The few hours I've spent with the Character Builder have really impressed upon me how the 4E architecture patterns dovetail with software...

Very, very nice I am very impressed! This is better than I was expecting, and I was expecting some quality software. There are definitely bugs in the installer, but those should be addressed soon enough. Congrats to the whole project team!

I haven't received an email notification to a thread I've subscribed to, so the mail path is clogged somewhere along the way. Maybe the various system services are fighting for the last remaining 10 megs of hard drive.

The performance has been pretty bad. Is Adlon a person or a service? Whomever/whatever they are, they need to log in and check for leaks. Ideally, they'd have some sort of system monitor in place that can pro-actively notify them when thresholds are approached.

Agreed. People will eventually forget that software was released late. They will never forget if it is unacceptably buggy.

By its very nature, quality isn't quantitative, so this aspect will be difficult to discuss on a pass/no-pass basis. There's certainly a QA team in place of some sort, and they (ideally) will have a strong voice in the pass/no-pass criteria for each major lifecycle promotion. The criteria for...

Yeah, I'm down with ally != self. I don't have a lot of house-rules, but this use of Heal is on my short list. Thanks for the quick answer.

It would appear that in the RAW, you can grant a saving throw to an adjacent ally, but not to yourself? This came up in a recent game where players were Immobilized in spider webs. One player was alone (nobody adjacent), and I thought it strange that if there were an adjacent ally, they could...

Much simpler, thanks.

Quick draft two: Heroic Tier feat Screaming Leader Suck it up, Princess! Prerequisite: Inspiring Word class feature Benefit: When using your Inspiring Word power, a target that goes from negative to positive hit points may choose to also stand from prone as a free action.
