    Problem Activating Account

    Yipes. I'm having a similar problem, as apparently you need a new activation e-mail when you update your account with a new e-mail address. I'm thinking the automatic system which sends out those e-mails may be broken. Here's hoping someone gives us an answer soon!

    Board problems, especially with editing posts

    After looking it over, I think my problem is you need to re-activate your account if you switch e-mail addresses, and I haven't recieved an email (even after deactivating my spam filter.) Is the mechanism that sends those out broken? Also, clicking on the "contact the webmaster" link reveals...

    Board problems, especially with editing posts

    I'm having problems too. I've suddenly lost the ability to post, not sure why I can post here but not in the 4e board. Might be connected with changing my email adress last night in my control panel, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

    Best class/role for solo play

    It depends on the player just as much as it depends on the DM. Some players are better at some roles than others. It seems to me that the one role most disadvantaged in solo play is the Defender, since he'll have no one to defend and thus a lot of his abilities will be pointless. Leaders...

    Siege in the Stonespike Mountains (Boddynock Judging)

    Yup, dives are fast.

    Siege in the Stonespike Mountains (Boddynock Judging)

    Round 1 Concludes Zaeryl begins to concentrate on his summoning. The harpies dive sharply, leveling out at 90' above ground level and begin to sing. Each character must make eight will saves.

    Weapons to date

    I'm still thinking d8 is possible, with a bump in dice for archery Rangers. Did anyone but the Ranger have a longbow?

    Starting Keep on the Shadowfell or waiting?

    I'm not going to buy the preview module, but if someone in my group does I'm definitely in. We're in the middle of Undermountain right now, so we'll probably not only wait for the rulebooks but at least a few weeks after before starting up a 4e game.

    Mearls has got the books!

    Well, since you have them right there... I don't suppose you could explain the half elf racial features? I'm confused as to how they interact with multiclassing, and whether Prime Shot is both Warlock and Ranger or if it is from racial features. ;) :D

    Come back....

    Well, me too, but lack of a campaign has never stopped me from putting together a character. I'm optimistic that way. I've got at least half a dozen 3.x characters ready that have never seen action, and by ready I mean planned out for each level 1 to 20, and sometimes higher.

    Intimidate, or "whoops I wasted my skill points"

    I would have preferrred Persuasion over seperate Intimidate, Bluff and Diplomacy. The seperation leads to silliness. We were discussing a similar point at my last game. Let's say my rogue, skilled in Bluff but not the other two, discovers a raid of orcs heading toward the town. He goes there...

    Come back....

    The exerpts have been a bit content light lately, or so it seems to me. I have some hopes that the weapons excerpt wil be more interesting than the skill challenge excerpt. Ultimately, though, what I really want is enough information to start planning out my character. For that, I'll probably...

    D&D 4E DnD 4e Previews...What Would You Like To See?

    This. Also, show us how great DDI will be with a few pre release articles that will actually add to the game once we have it. For example: "The Bard, Part 1 -- The complete class and its heroic tier powers." (I'd rather have Druid than Bard, but I bet the Bard is a lot more complete at this...

    D&D 4E 4e Multiclassing and Characters from Fiction

    What are some of your favorite fantasy books, and how would you represent the characters in them under the 4e multiclassing system? I'll start off with a few to show what I mean. The Belgariad by David Eddings Belgareth the Sorceror: Wizard Polgara the Sorceress: Wizard Belgarion: Wizard with...

    Feat progrression

    I agree that feats are probably gained at all even levels as well as 1, 11 and 21. In terms of ability scores, I have a lot of questions. Do you gain 1 point in an ability of your choice, like 3.5? Possibly more interesting, do you sometimes gain 1 point and at other times gain 2 points, each...

    Peregrinations of the Shard

    Ironwolf agrees to the plan, and adds that his psicrystal can pass messages back and forth telepathically if we have a need to be silent.

    Predicting the joy of Paragon tier

    While "Prerequisite: Class X" can be met with a multiclassing feat, some paragon paths seem to be structured "Prerequisite: Class X, Class Ability Y" where Y may or may not be granted by the multiclassing feat. They won't all be available to all classes for this reason.

    Excerpt: Multiclassing (merged)

    Find me a party of 3 "smart enough" to handle all four roles without multiclassing. I think you are misinterpreting Wizards. It's advisable to have all four classes, just as it's always been advisable to have a balanced party. i've played in a lot of parties that are not balanced, however...

    Redesigning the D&D website

    Extremely impressive. I remember commenting on the first video that you had some good points, but that constructive critisism would have been better. In actually working up a design with proposed improvements, you've not only addressed that but taken it several steps beyond. I hope the people...
