We can do +4. Then you might make it out with a daily left. The MM3 math made it so that everything BELOW a +5 encounter was no longer an laughable speed-bump. Now Level+2 and 3 no longer "speed bumps" but "legitimate threats that need our attention to beat in a timely fashion." Level+5s go get...

Anyone who thinks Multi-Attacks are overpowered needs to run an assassin in a one on one fight with a Post-MM3 brute five levels higher. Go on. I dare you. - I have run 4e from day 2 of the edition. The only reason I didn't run from day 1 is because I spent day 1 reading the books. I have a...

Which, in light of the unaired episode where they find out Venger is the DM's son, puts a whole layer of creepy to the character of the Dungeon Master. There's in-depth NPC creation. Then there is boning a Pit Fiend. Also, that image is one of the most Adhorrible things I have seen in my...

I'm going to get to the rest of your post in a second, but I want to address something. I have gone to college, and whenever that phrase, "just your opinion" rears its ugly head, its usually from the mouth of a petulant third year English student who is losing an arguement. Opinion has two very...

Actually, he did give a time frame. "Around the corner" is a metaphore indicative of a closeness of something, and, with aspect to time, a certain inevitability. To say something is just around the corner is to say it is close, and considering all of the low-brow slavering of oh-so-obvious...

You have to do at least 4[W] damage for that to be better than just Focus. The only class that can do that at-will is the Ranger, who gets more from taking focus anyway (6 damage vs 4). The one to two damage you'll lose when you use a daily or Encounter power will not be missed. The extra...

If you note I addressed all of those point in the post, save for the Racial Weapon Training, which I left out because those feats are either just as good as or strictly better than SWP. The better ones are great... if you were going that route anyway. Githzerai Blade Mastery is just about...

No. Wait, hold on, let me think-no. Superior Weapon Proficiency is becoming a more and more worthless feat. It should only be taken if your player's have some specific exploit their planning on, and it hinges around weapon type, such as using a Gouge for all the charging support + rain of...

Considering it takes years of time and money to develop a new functioning edition of the game (4th began development in 2005 and was not out till mid '08), this would mean that WotC more or less began building a new edition 1 year into the game's life cycle, in addition to the frenetic...

Melee Focused Warlock min-maxed for blasting and Eldritch Striking. Or, perhaps a Warlock/Swordmage hybrid.

So, I am totally digging the Random God table in the back. Particularly my Good alien lizard god of Wilderness, Vengeance, and Undeath who seeks vengeance against another deity, is coarse, amiable, blood-thirsty in the extreme, is not known by other gods, is tolerant, loves chatting with...

Without market data your arguments are just so much arrogant posturing. You can't know the ratio of quiters to people who stayed on, and you can't use the forums as a judge of this. The group here is self selecting, and many already had personal grudges against WotC, and were more than happy to...

Depends on the bars you frequent.

Honestly, the thing that really interests me about the book is the DM content, particularly the line about "lore for some of the most despicable creatures to infest any campaign world." If this turned out to be a whose-who on some of the classic DnD baddies like Kyuss or Tharzidun, I could...

I know Dungeon Magazine occasionally puts out support. There was one on the old Capital of Nerath, which was really good, actually. There was also another centered on some dungeon tying into the Abyssal Plague novel line. There were also the adventure locations put out last year such as...

Yes. It does exist specifically to protect the producers. That is the point. When a man makes something, it's his. He has the right to control the fruits of his own labor. Your basically saying its o.k. to take something someone made or owns, and do with it as you please. Your literally making...

By implication, apparently the only thing keeping you from forcefully, either personally or, most likely, with the help of others, violate another man's intellectual property rights, is how much their actions have pleased you at any given moment. Piracy is a crime for a reason. Not because of...

Of course! It all makes sense now! The Copyright reversion! The Incompetence and the Corporate evil! The death of 4th Edition! The end of DnD! Yes! This entire edition, its three year run, have all been a long running gambit by Vecna to obtain the DnD license. He slowly used Orcus to take over...

No one is treating you like an idiot. Your the one going around looking for a reason to feel insulted and self-righteous. There isn't any "corp" speak or weasel words in that FAQ. Its fairly straight forward. The minis line wasn't meeting expectations, so they cut it. They saw book sales...

The main problem with this though is that nine times out of ten, ending a fight early is the best tactic. The main way to kill 4th Edition PCs is grinding them down and taking their surges one by one. As such, it is in the PCs very best interest to kill quick and kill hard. Particularly since...
