Pardon me, I should have said "not allowed Dragonborn to be the Best Dragon Sorcerers". My mistake. I have no issue with having more (on percentage) Strength based classes, especially if those Strength based classes include some flavorful Casters rather than 15 flavors on the same...

First of all, the idea of not allowing a "Dragonborn" be able to be a Dragon Sorcerer is pretty silly. Secondly, the flavor of the class is one that emphasizes physical "getting-your-hands-dirty" natural ability- Strength is the way to get there.

Well I can see that you have a big problem or fault in your comparison here- only two of the companies there are international. Its really an apples-to-oranges problem. Piazo, for all its allusions to greatness- such as hiring (in)famous D&D designers and unleashing fat and impressive...

Well you can't blame the poor Gnome for that- it isn't their fault the bottom of their boots is porcelain.

Willfully obtuse interpretation aside, you can explain how a character with the ability to move moves. Wishes can't, because they purposefully break explanations down. The player uses Come and Get It, the character expresses to the archer that he will gut him terribly unless he decides to face...

How? Is there a detection device in your 4E campaigns that pings when a Player is using a power versus a Character? You say there is a line in the sand when there isn't any, because the system is vague on that point just so that in-world explanations can be crafted to meet the desires of the...

I wonder if Wizards decided to use all A classes because it is easier to design (single attack stat) or that PHB 1 classes needed to be more flexible.

Page 42, applied judiciously. Magic is the effects of a Magical World that can't be described through Mundane means. The D&D games we play are in magical worlds, and "A Wizard Did It" moment will occur because of that. Come and Get it can be explained in the majority of cases in rational...

I've had way too many decent 16/16 and 18/14 characters of all jobs and stripes to believe that the "racially favored flavor" classes, that near-always get very nice racial-only feats to assist in playing them, aren't able to be played. Math-wise, a 16 is a fair number in the attack score...

And I challenge it with my own experience and the underlying notion that the game, being a social atmosphere, has no need for isolated calculation immediately before, during, or outside of combat. 4E eliminates the extended impact of vaguely named bonuses that danced through a Caster's...

I have a question for the Rouse, but I'm not sure if its a brand or a design/development question: At what point do you think the game designers will have to "break rules" to fill space in books? There are jokes around about the Martial Controller or the Ranged-Weapon Defender, but stuff like...

I'm pretty much the only guy speaking in the vein of finding the math "difficult", so I'll state my point: In all honesty- for my group, at least- it is! We aren't playing with Tonka Toys between game-days either: most of us are accomplished enough in our lives to have the money to spend on...

So "Players have to master the Cascading bonus Accounting to enjoy the game" is the new "THAC0 kept the riff-raff out?" Good to know. In my campaign, we usually play with at least a beer in us each by the time combat rolls around. We don't even want to do 1-square, 2-square diagonals, much...

My guess would be a Large Race of some sort: Half-Ogre, Half-Giant, Biggin Minotaurs, or something similar. They'd need to be playtested just on the factor of the size issue playing with everyone's campaigns and seeing if they're useful. Further, we might see this race with a single +4 or a...

Yet how is anything he says reasonable? Dancey's point is so embedded in rhetoric that it is impossible to derive a reasonable conclusion from it. Paragraph 1: Who are these regressive people, specifically? I can't even imagine that calling a group the "Corporate Force of the Dark Side" is...

So we're watering down the conclusion down to "in situations where BRV is not optimal, it isn't optimal"? Doesn't say much for how "overpowered" the feature is- because in my experience, a STR/WIS fighter does much more to keep the party alive than a BRV twinky Fighter, simply because of how...

...Really? Even from all you state, demographically "we" don't know you from Adam. Are you unemployed? Comfortably affluent? Struggling financially? Student in College, or in High school, or in Middle school? Do you Rent your housing, or do you have a Mortgage? Are you a Social leader? A...

Not to cut the term too fine, that really only shows a difference in store management and salesmanship, and not a direct proof of product sales. Specifically, the former seems to be* a 4E/new-gamer supporter, and the latter seems to be a 3E/grognard supporter. *"Seems to be" being the term...

Line removed by admin. I know you added a "snark" label and meant to be funny, but still something we'd rather not see. The rest of the post, though, is fine. ~ PCat You completely missed the possibility multiple actions/attacks in an encounter. Every time a Fighter OAs, you're getting an...

Enerla, if you're response is a mere collection of personal attacks and Straw Men in the vein of Gun Rights = Piracy (wherein one is a defined crime and the other is a right), we really don't have much to say to each-other.
