You do not have to read all the threads on EN World, nor are you forced to post in them. If all you have is vitriol, kindly keep it to yourself, eh?

First thought - since you gain recharge points on a 19 or 20 on a d20, just use a d10 and recharge on a 10. That way, a player can roll a save and a recharge at the same time. Not a very significant amount of time saved, granted, but over time that would add up. Second thought - you are still...

Sneak attack doing nonlethal damage, perhaps.

Ah yes, the cry of "but it would be hard to make that work!"

... It is one thing entirely to invoke that stupidity when talking about a game system, though it is annoying enough there. It is quite another to invoke it at another person talking about their own personal game, or their own particular style. Considering the ramifications of in-game choices...

The more effort a player goes through to attempt to ground their character in the setting, to give a solid in-world explanation for how this character came to be, the more likely I am to give them the go-ahead. So - yep, that is what I'm saying.

For one, you didn't read the rest of my post. It's the attitude that's important, and the approach. It seems to me that you're missing some grey area. It isn't a case of "either you let players do whatever the hell they want, or you should go write a novel because you have a predefined...

I think the important thing is how the player handles it. If the player demands or even thinks that he has some kind of right to impinge upon my setting, then I'm going to be a lot more irked and a lot more prone to telling him "no." You don't get to tell me what goes into my setting. However...

Sounds like my setting, and I know I mentioned it around here some time ago, so it's very possible. I've decided that 4e is not to my liking, so... nope, haven't converted. The various power sources lose a lot of feel in the conversion - part of their charm was that each power source had an at...

Shoot us emails with the files attached, perhaps?

Well, I definitely wouldn't mind having a look-see, but if you'd rather not make it freely and publicly available at the moment, that's fine, too.

Don't happen to still have that around, do you? I'd very much like to see where you were going with it, even if it's not finished.

There should be points wherein a specific class (or even race) shines, and in such a way that a member of another class could not have done so. Being made obsolete in a few instances is acceptable, IMO. Those are the moments where one person in the group is given the spotlight without question...

Only the formatting, yo. :p

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I'm not holding my breath. That excerpt is, as far as I'm concerned, as far as they took the idea; there's nothing more to it, until proven otherwise. ... I am sick and tired of hearing that argument. It doesn't mean anything. What you...

Mercule, would you kindly fix your post so it doesn't fark the thread? Kthx.

This solution - vehicles having a single HP pool - has already been extensively used. I used it in 3.5, writing up vehicle rules. ...fair enough. Didn't I just say that it's difficult to do so? I have higher expectations of people who get paid to do this than to come up with something that...

So, to generalize your argument, there shouldn't be any point at which a character is able to do something specifically because of their class, because that would be telling the other players that they should reroll? That sounds dreadfully dull. I mean, in explaining what you hoped happens to...

I am not impressed. Anyone - and I mean lit'rally anyone - who frequents this board could have done that. The idea of having a single HP pool for a vehicle of any size? It's an obvious solution to the "sections" problem of previous editions, because the first reaction someone would have to "how...

The paladin's powers seem alright, sure, but they seem to lack tanking ability. They really need consecrate to make them viable tanks. Consecrate would fit the flavor of 4e pallies, and help out with their lack of tanking power. As it is, they just don't seem to generate enough threat. Divine...
