Sure. But Rich only said they were making DS characters "better".

It doesn't have to be item-related, it could be something like saving at the start of your turn or getting an extra death saving throw or not dying until you are at your negative full HP instead of negative bloodied.

Hero Lab? No way (I'm now using 4E/DDI), but Army Builder...in a heartbeat.

Man...I don't want to detract from W.R.'s talents, but I want a different artist for this setting. Too late now, though. I miss Brom.

Wilden - you are targeted for death. Bladeling - start running, cause you're next.

There is also technology to protect and harden electronics from that vulnerability, which also continues to improve. For different reasons, I still agree that fighters need to be prepared to operate without the handy gizmos.

I added this to the top of the Grand List of iPhone Apps for D&D Gaming thread.

I failed my will save to resist quibbling, and I can't tell if your are kidding. I restate: You can't use past behavior to predict future behavior. At best, you can use it to develop a reasonable expectation. WoTC may not have pursued legal recourse against piracy in the past, but that...

I don't understand what pro se representation has to do with the "award" in a judgement against the pirate, except that if I were to pirate material and represent myself pro se, I would at least have saved myself the cost of my own lawyer (regardless of whether that is a good plan)? I presume...

You can't use past actions to predict future performance. WoTC may have any number of reasons for deciding to pursue piracy now.

Lawyers charge between $125-$250 an hour right? So wouldn't cost of good + legal fees be pretty painful for an average american? That would be an effective detterent. Also expensive enough to make piracy unprofitable. Does this mean that one could seed 1 time to a couple leeches, then stop...

I can agree to disagree. I am not trying to convert. I am trying to understand. Based on the choice of remedies (in post #32), it seems that the wronged party can choose the most profitable remedy. So, it is legally viable to produce something worth $40, then sue pirates for $750-$30,000 per...

That's the point of my quibble. I understand what the law allows currently. I want to see a change. I want creators to be paid for their materials. I want pirates to stop freeloading. I want creators to be able to sue pirates for damages when they get caught. But, specifically for file-sharing...

What I like about obsidian is its simplicity. I just need to know the target number for my party and I can make up everything else on the fly. Thay don;t even have to know they are in a challenge. But the system gives me some structure and a method for XP awards.

This is not the US Army's stance. This is your take on it. Read the FMs. Fratricide is to be avoided. Risks are unavoidable but must be managed. And since real soldiers don't get to roll-up a new character when they die, we should probably avoid applying real world policy to fantasy games...

I have a player in my group who includes friendlies in the AOE every combat. He's even killed a fellow PC recently. We tease him about it, but it's all good fun and no one gets their feelings hurt. He does not make an extra effort to include friendlies, he just tries to get maximum effect from...

Do you know if it was in an editorial announcement, a Q&A, or a blog? I don't mind trying to hunt it down. I can't say I'm disappointed to learn that divine power source is out of Athas. But now I'm back to wondering what they'll do about templars.

I missed that...at the Gen Con announcement, Bill S said "we recognize that Dark Sun is different".

Whether you make $50,000 (approx. average income in US) / year ($26/hour) or 100,000/year, a judgement of $125,000 is alot of money to pay out and will probably take most people many years to pay off. That's disproportionate to the infraction.
