Good call. I didn't think of it when I voted, but I totally agree.

Here's some Java code for you: System.gc(); Back on topic: I imagine that the final product will allow for flexibility at least to the point where you'll be able to customize your weapon to do whatever damage you want. It'll be marked "houseruled" but you should be able to be a Minotaur with...

That's a good point. The forum application as a whole represents a collaboration between separate system layers, each with (ideally) well encapsulated concerns and responsibilities. These layers are cross-cut with security, authentication, and role/group identity permissions. There's likely a...

Nope. It's "real" software. I can appreciate your wanting to reduce the problem to a scale that you can relate to from your own personal technical experience, but you're not delivering a product. WotC is.

I think you are looking at the problem with much less experience than you think you are. Software is about more than just normalized relationships between tables. That is a very small corner of the Hundred Acre Wood.

I think you are vastly under-estimating the complexity of the software architecture under the covers. I've got plenty of experience analyzing and designing software systems, and this sort of off-hand dismissal of reality is exactly the voice that will destroy quality. Oh boy, the stories I could...

Keep up the good work! I've been very impressed with the CB program. It's the most impressive bit of software I've seen from Wizards (or subcontractors thereof?) to date. I don't understand the sense of entitlement that some people have about the development lifecycle that they feel the need...

That's how I did it in 1979.

I think you might be over-reacting. Unbearable? Why should ENWorld actively work to reduce the efficiency of ANY companies marketing effort? Is it really US against THEM? It's cool. You have a greater opportunity to express your feelings about the community than consumer/fans have ever had...

In poker terms, I'd say you're right. They didn't "see" your point. They "raised" it. If "Sheesh" is a fold, then the hand may be over. ;) I'm as sensitive as anybody I know to ubiquitous advertising, but the DDI updates are as relevant as any other commercial product that gets touted on the...

...briefly reads 2 or 3 posts in the thread to figure out what it's about, and then posts a scathing indictment of people with too much time on their hands.

Add me to the handful of people that say that it's not allowed in the rules. Gaining access to new powers by finding them is not part of 4E mechanics. How do other classes find powers in the game? Or are you seeing this strictly as a benefit for Wizards?

In one of my campaigns, a 2nd level warlock managed to hover at the edge of combat slowly stacking up temporary hp, eventually hitting 70. It was pretty insane. A careful reading of the PHB and a discussion with the good people here at ENWorld straightened me out.

Awww. That's the cutest troll I have ever heard. It's like a little baby troll! :) Emirikol- that sounds like a good system. I can't quite picture the plastic try portion of it, but I can totally appreciate the convenience this brings to sharing information as a group. I use Game Mastery...

Thanks all for the responses. Yes, it is from a published adventure. I think the "adding creatures" solution seems good. It's really just a matter of me going learning how to design (or adjust) encounters to avoid this kind of thing.

In a game I'm running the party came across a room with 3 traps. I was worried about the potential lethality of the encounter, as the group's resources were low, and it was over their level (though not much). As it turns out, there was maybe a round and a half with any sort of actual threat as...

The movie Collateral has a great scene that helped me during my first read of the 4E Players Handbook. (spoiler...)

I can totally see that. It's a big shift to be sure.

Good thinking. I'd hate for you to accidentally enjoy yourself for the wrong reason down the road. ;) What's an SOD?

Thanks all. I appreciate the replies. This is all very helpful!
