    Harvesting Components

    So in the description for rituals, it says that you can use special rare materials harvested from magical creatures for Arcana based rituals (including making magic items). Is there any rules for GP value that a magical creature would be worth as components? Like how much would the teeth of...

    Where did my options go? - The New Paradigm

    I don't mind TWF only giving a +1 to damage, and possible +1 AC & Ref. But what really bothers me is that Fighters should not do it. Think of the name of the class. FIGHT-er. They should be THE BEST at fighting. Period. This would mean being able to use two weapons. But if a Fighter...

    D&D 3.x Multi-class like 3.5

    Why not do it like 2nd ed AD&D or 3.5 Gestalt-- you advance in two classes at once. In this case, you cherry pick the 2 at will/ 1 encounter / 1 Daily at 1st from the two/three classes. As you level, when you get a power, you pick from one of your classes. The downside is you advance...

    Flat Healing Without Using a Surge--Infinite Daily HP?

    Or even better, lets have healing powers that work without killing an orc! If your god lets you heal in combat, he suddenly won't once the last orc dies? "NO FRIENDS. SLAY NOT THAT ORC YET, so I CANST HEAL YON ALLY!" = Cheese

    No lions or tigers... oh my

    W00T-- these are good-- but I would also give them Stealth and Perception as a trained skill. Still great work! I like that you did the raking claws as ongoing damage rather than additional attack rolls!

    No lions or tigers... oh my

    So I noticed a disturbing lack of "real" big cats in the game. There are no lions, no tigers either. Under the "panther" designation there are only 2 weird magic panthers-- and one of them-- the fey panther-- is not even a panther-- it is a blink lynx. I want to see what an ordinary lion or...

    Firearms

    Oh-- I forgot the main balancing component-- 1 minute to reload! In otherwords-- one shot per gun per encounter!

    D&D 4E What's the typo/errata situation in the 4e books?

    Unless you believe that it should be harder for a rogue to sneak up to a door with enemies on the other side undetected than for a paladin in platemail to clank his way up to it, there are definately errata issues. The rules say DC25 is the default perception check for enemies on the other side...

    Firearms

    Smokepowder weapons are far more powerful than standard weapons, and simpler to use, changing warfare as we know it(on worlds where smokepowder is common, heavy armor has gone the way of the dodo). When you attack with a Smokepowder weapon, you roll to attack the enemy's REFLEX instead of AC...

    Og the Invincible, Lawful Good Dwarf Cleric of Moradin 1 HP: 29 (14) Surge: 7hp OOOOOOOOOO Armor Class: 16 (18) Strength 18 (+4) Intelligence 12 (+1) Wisdom 16 (+3) Constitution 17 (+3) Dexterity 10 (+0) Charisma 8 (-1) Fortitude 14 Reflex 11 (13) Will 15 Racial Abilities: Speed 5 (even...

    Is Forced Movement Inherently Breakable?

    So having a Githyanki Warlord fly to a position adjacent to an enemy over a cliff, then use "Leaf on the Wind" to switch places ala Bugs Bunny isn't allowed? There goes that concept.

    Power sources. What's the point?

    To sell more books. Each new power source is an additional $40 book they can sell you.

    Katar-- Cool weapon to throw in the recycling bin?

    But my ranged specialized halfling ranger took the TWF build anyway because the ranged benefits suck. +2 AC vs. OA? He gets that anyway for being a halfling. Or he could take the paired weapon build and get +5HP and use paired scimitars? No contest. Since many of the class powers work with...

    Katar-- Cool weapon to throw in the recycling bin?

    No, the Katar is a lame option for a ranger, since you could take PAIRED SCIMITARS instead, which are also high crit weapons, but do d8 damage, and you can spend the feat you would have waisted on the Katar to either get a +1 to hit & Mark 1/encounter (student of the sword) or get +1 Dmg with...

    Katar-- Cool weapon to throw in the recycling bin?

    One of my beefs with the new rules is two weapon fighting. Only rangers can gain any real benefit from having an off-hand weapon. Yes, anyone can take TWF and TWDefense, but lets face it, you off-hand weapon could be a banana and you'd get the same benefits as it being a sword. Rangers are...

    D&D 4E The (lack of a) Bag of Rats Problem in 4e

    I think a much better fix would be to say that outside combat you don't have to hit someone for your powers to work. You can use it once per short rest.

    So why can ANYONE use rituals?

    Or be smarter and take Arcane Initiate instead of Skill Training, so you can cast Magic Missile 1/Encounter too.

    4ed torrents -How'd it happen?

    Maybe wizards could employ some sort of countermeasure-- like imbedding a worm into pdfs that they then upload to torrent sites and limewire, etc. On june 6th, the worm destroys all your pdf files on your computer, and changes your desktop to say "I AM A THIEF" in big letters! I know it would...
