Please cite some examples from your experiences where the DM was taken by surprise by the actions of the characters (and left dumbfounded and temporally defeated), whether you were a player or the DM. Back when we were playing second edition (with optional skills and powers), we had six to...

Eladrin Wizard, 12th level. We've played 33 game sessions. When I changed games I was bumped up in experience to fit in with my new group the equivalent of eight game sessions. From what I've noted; hero tier lasted three or four sessions, and we went five sessions to get from 11th to 12th. Our...

No.

Experience. Have you noticed different?

Your snide statement aside, hack'n slash is more often a characteristic of: - New gamers. - Young gamers. - Gamers who do not want a storyline. You're tactic of building a strawman does little to further this conversation.

I want to fight monsters that think, not mindless berserkers. Monsters and villains that pose a strategic threat. I also like to be in a party that thinks, without mindless berserkers. Unfortunately I see a higher percentage of younger players who don't want to think, and by coincidence they...

Especially with a new system. With my advancements, I often change my mind between levels. Very little goes as planned. And as you said, the character finds new ways of fitting in with and helping the group. I've only played this one character for more than a few game sessions, we always have...

All good stuff, thanks for the info. What I liked about the Mitherendain article was that I was that I could save the PDF, then turn it into a word document. I used it as a setting as a 3.5E Gray Elf city, and being in Word I could make modifications at will. I also like to throw elements of...

I can sympathize with not wanting to translate. As a native English speaker I had role played in Spanish. My wife is a native Hungarian speaker, and she speaks a second language everyday and at work. The point being, as you have also taken, is that a build should be based on a background that...

The Forgotten Realms book goes into Menzoberranzan, and I have the Mithrendain article. I'd like to see that done with many of the races in the PHB and MM.

Yes I am an eladrin, and I am a racist. A fey pact works well with my character, and I can see myself using Eyebite while using Disguise (rather than in combat).

I'd like to see racial cities that can be used in campaigns, like the drow city of Menzoberranzan and the eladrin city of Mithrendain.

Where are the elementals? I want pure, standard elementals.

At-Will Powers: - Magic Missile: to hit a target at 20. - Scorching Burst: I like fire, and it does damage (range 10) on 3x3 squares. Encounter Powers: - Force Orb(1): Improved Magic Missile, damage (range 20) on 3x3 squares. - Ice Rays(5): Cold damage (fire & ice thingy), can immobilize...

I have training in 7 of 17 feats... I could pretty much not give a darn about the other 10. Sure they would be helpful, but I play my character to have weaknesses and vulnerabilities. As an Eladrin (1) Wizard (4), I started with training in five skills: - Arcana (my bread and butter skill) -...

I would go about building a character in a completely different way... and perhaps we would have ended up with the exact same build. Your character background consists of four short sentences, and it tells me almost nothing, other than how you want to fight in combat. Before I construct a...

Bottlecaps and extra dice are the most popular. We tried shelled peanuts, but the players kept eating the party and made a big mess. Shelled peanuts have since been banned from the table.

Thank you, excellent explanation. The mistake I made was not looking for multi-CLASS in the FEAT chapter. At tenth level my eladrin wizard chose training in Bluff. I will retrain my Bluff training and multi-class as a Fey Pact Warlord... and get the same training plus some.

I've had it for quite a while and have searched for multi-class info. What page is that from? It sounds to me like there is no down side to multi-classing, and all the advantages in the world. How does a hero tier multi-class? Can the player just declare that they're multi-classing and gain...

Forked from: Hybrid classes (4e playtest) I have never created a 4.0E multi-class character, nor are there in any of the games I've played in. How does multi-classing work, and how will it be different from a hybrid-class? ==================================================================...
