    Mearls is your hostage!

    After I fight off your gang of thugs and rescue Mr. Mearls, he might perhaps reward me by showing me the write up of a random paragon path. Something along the lines of the elf and rogue write ups we've seen so far. Multiclassing would be my second choice. See, now it's a multi-alignment...

    Manual of the Planes, Dec '08

    I haven't forgotten the date. While it was apparently a joke response to a serious thread, I simply didn't see the funny. :shrug: Maybe my sense of humor lies dormant for April Fools Day, as I don't like joke "news articles" mixed in with actual news articles. Makes it hard to find the...

    Manual of the Planes, Dec '08

    I had to look up "Goatse." Wikipedia article here. I decided not to quote it because even the definition is likely to offend some. Did you get something like that when following one of the links, Charwoman Gene? I did not, and am confused by your post.

    Who to curse?

    Note: I'm not trying to start a debate on 1-1-1 diagonal movement generally with this post, there are several other threads for that. I'm more interested in how people think the rules ought to work in the particular situation. Let's say your warlock PC "WK" is facing 5 enemies aa,bb,cc,dd, and...

    Official Character Sheets

    Yeah, I can't open zip files at work. If they just put it up as a PDF I could find out what everyone is laughing about! :(

    Heart of Artifice: Part I--Engineered Enigma

    Anvuss isn't clear as to the planned disposition of his colleague. He glances over at Kharas in hope of some clarification. "We are rescuing captured friends? That seems like a worthwhile mission. As you rescued me from imprisonment, it has a certain symetry as well."

    4th Edition D&D Haikus

    The distant summer in anticipation waits beguilingly sweet.

    Half-Elves cross class power

    Yes, the 2/1/1 doesn't count class features and racial powers.

    Half-Elves cross class power

    I think the frost power was a poor choice, but getting to pick an at-will power from any class as a per encounter power could be good. For example, choosing the Wizard's at-will fire blast ability would be a way to get an AOE attack for your first level warlock, which otherwise appears to be...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    "Do you think that each chess more will allow only a single attack, or is it more of an extended battle?"

    What books describe a good magical world?

    I can't recomend Jim Butcher's "The Dresden Files" series highly enough. The first novel is entitled Storm Front, and while the setting is modern day Chicago (and perhaps a better fit for d20 modern) it's a great series to read for anyone interested in Wizards, Paladins, or the Feywild. I read...

    4th Edition: portable?

    Actual softcover volumes are unlikely. Someone posted a long time ago indicating that the reason we hadn't seen a softcover PHB in 3e was that if they release a softcover edition, bookstores would return all unsold copies of the hardcover edition and stop selling them. I'm not clear on the...

    Intra-Class Power feats?

    Yes, my concern is whether a power designated Warlock(Fey) is available to warlocks who are not fey-pact. All inside the same class.

    Intra-Class Power feats?

    We know that there are some circumstances in which a character of one class can aquire a power from another class. We also know that warlock powers (some of them) are divided by pact. Anyone know if, for example, a Fey-Pact warlock can use a feat to take a fiendish-pact warlock power? I'm a...

    Come on over, I volunteer. You bring the rulebooks, I'll provide the pizza! ;)

    D&D 4E Conversion: 3.x to 4e

    Strongly disagree with this one. I'd say new level ought to be 1, or at most equal to current level.

    Does a paladin's daily require him to drop his sword?

    And by extension, neither would your coworkers. :)

    D&D 4E Conversion: 3.x to 4e

    The word on converting characters is that you'll probably want to convert thematically instead of mechanically. In other words, if you want to continue playing a character that's a sneaky guy who uses a sword, comes from Cormyr and is in love with a woman named Josephine, you can use the 4e...

    Do we know anything about feat & power progression?

    We know for sure there are Attack Powers and Utility Powers, but there could be others. If I had the wizard power sheet readilly available, I'd look through that to double check, but I don't think I saw any outside those two categories. Additionally, we know there are class features and racial...

    Do we know anything about feat & power progression?

    We don't know much that's definite, and most of what we know is for the first two levels. A feat every other level seems likely, but powers are probably more frequent than that. The "silo" aproach suggests that you won't be able to pick any power you want at any level, and there's evidence...
